Platte River SP

About

Quaint Platte River State Park is nestled halfway between Nebraska’s two largest cities — Lincoln and Omaha. Before it was a state park it was two separate camps — Harriet Harding Campfire Girls Camp and Camp Esther K. Newman — and a tract of woodlands. The charming, vintage cabins that once housed campers today provide cozy accommodations, while the gorgeous new glamping cabins offer a luxurious, yet nature-immersive, experience. Campers may also enjoy a state-of-the-art campground with 48 full-hookup campsites. Other popular draws are the park’s picturesque waterfall, spray park, scenic hiking and biking trails and two observation towers that allow those who climb to the top a spectacular view of the Platte River Basin.
