Full RV hookups

*Please note: We are an RV only location due to the lack of a public restroom. This location is approximately 1.5 miles from a paved road. We are about 6 miles north of Interstate 80. After snow or large amounts of rain, the road can be slick and difficult to traverse. If you have any concerns, please let us know and we can let you know how the roads are! In 2016 my wife and I built a barn home on my family's farm. The family has farmed in the Elm Creek area since the late 1800s. We're glad to be back in the area and can't wait to share how great our little community is with others! Learn more about this land: We are on a pivot corner of a farm in the hills north of Interstate 80 and Highway 30. There are fields of corn/soybeans, pastures that sometimes house cattle and the Elm Creek visible from the camping location. We are near 8 miles from Sandy Channels Recreation area and about 40 miles from Rowe Sanctuary if you enjoy wildlife and bird watching. There is also a viewing tower on site, accessible by stairs, which offers a 360 degree view of natural surroundings and wildlife! The creek running south of the property is home to deer, turkeys, and other wildlife that are easily and safely viewed from the camp site and tower. A 1/3 mile trail runs around the perimeter of the property. The home on the property is a barn style home. The site is a mile and a half from a paved road. There is very little local traffic and the site is relatively quiet other than nearby agriculture activity during certain times of the year. There is a big friendly farm dog on site who roams the property (A Great Pyrenees). He does bark to keep nocturnal animals such as deer and raccoons away from the property - but he loves other friendly dogs! He is neutered, so is safe for other dogs to play with unsupervised. There is a washer and dryer that you can use on site for a small fee, detergent provided. (Must be scheduled while on site) Clothesline is able to be used free of charge, baskets and clothespins available to borrow upon request. There is also guest WiFi available for no extra charge and it is fast enough to stream video, remote work, video conference, etc.*Please Note: We are an RV only site due to a lack of public restrooms.

Perfect Hipcamp

10 m fifth wheel

We enjoyed our short overnight stay at Brodine’s Acres. Cole was a great host and the rv site had everything we needed. Our dog enjoyed being off leash and exploring the trails on the property with their friendly dog Zane. Night skies were gorgeous! Definitely recommend Cole’s property for a perfect Hipcamp stay.

Nice little overnight. The area was nice with cornfields as far as you could see. A bit close to the residence but the family was very nice and made us feel welcome.

Camping Bliss in Nebraska

4 m travel trailer

Brodine Acres is incredibly convenient, with easy access on and off the highway. From the moment we arrived, Cole and his family warmly welcomed us and made us feel right at home. One of the highlights of our stay was meeting Zane, their delightful dog. Zane was super friendly with our pups, which was a huge plus. The amenities provided exceeded our expectations. We had access to a washer and dryer for a small fee, and the Wi-Fi was super fast. The campsite was perfect—a nice, flat surface that was easy to access, and setup was a breeze. The scenery was absolutely stunning. We enjoyed the pristine and quiet surroundings, which offered a much-needed respite after being on the road all day. It was also great to let our dogs have some safe off-leash time. There was virtually no traffic, and we were far enough from the road. Overall, this Hipcamp site was one of my favorite spots yet. I highly recommend this safe and inviting site and hope to return someday. This place is a must-visit if you’re passing through Nebraska and looking for a top-notch Hipcamp experience!

Simple, pleasant, welcoming!

13 m fifth wheel

The host welcomed us on a hot evening, along with his very friendly pooch. The power was very good, we ran 3 A/C units and other household loads, nearly maxing out the service, yet voltage never dropped below 113. Water service was also good. For us, it was simply an overnight, welcomed with some thunder claps early in the morning. The views were enormous! Take this place when you can!!!
