We purchased our acreage in 2016 from extreme hoarders. Somehow we were able to look beyond all the junk, inside and out, and see the potential of this property. We have been fixing it up mostly on our own and it's still not perfect but we are proud of all the work and progress we’ve made so far! The front part of our property, close to our house is a garden, fruit trees, berry bushes and chickens. You can help yourself to a few garden goods. NOTE: our chickens are free range but we coop them up in their run when we know guests are bringing their pets. On the back of our property is where you will find all our hipcamps. There is a swimming and fishing pond with lots of fish, frogs and other water creatures, all safe to swim with. We are on migration path of many birds you may encounter during your stay, like; blue heron, cranes and ducks. During the warm months help yourself to the beach toys, paddle board, kayak and paddle boat. We simply ask you care for them like you would your own. There is also a large playground area in the trees, close to our house. Please don't hesitate to check it out and let your kiddos play on it!

Beach camping in Nebraska guide

Overview

Swimming, sunbathing, and sandy shores might not be the first thing that comes to mind when planning a camping trip in Nebraska, but the landlocked state boasts several lakeside beaches. Head to Lake McConaughy, Nebraska’s largest lake, where the Lake McConaughy State Recreation Area has white-sand beaches, boat and kayak launches, and ample space for tents and RVs at its three lakeside campgrounds. Calamus Reservoir, in the heart of the Sandhills, is another family favorite, with idyllic white sands, year-round fishing, and a choice of modern campgrounds. Or head north to Lewis & Clark Lake to enjoy lakeside camping, cabin rentals, and a pristine swimming beach. Looking for a beach break within a short drive of Omaha? Two Rivers State Recreation Area has swimming beaches, caboose cabin rentals, and seven campgrounds, while Fremont Lakes State Recreation Area has a sandy beach that draws crowds in the summer months.
