Rent a cabin, try a glamping tent, or go primitive in the backcountry while camping near La Vista.
La Vista, nestled near Platte River, is a haven for campers headed to a trio of Nebraska's finest state parks. Park the travel trailer, fifth wheel, or campervan at a private campsite in town with a firepit, kayak rental, charcoal grill, and access to a telescope. Or head 20 minutes out of town to Eugene T. Mahoney State Park and find a cabin rental or campground that offers modern showers and coin-operated laundry. Wake up and take the Observation Tower Loop Trail to see the sun rise over the Platte River Valley. Platte River State Park also offers modern cabin rentals and camping cabins with heating, air conditioning, and linens. Or reserve an on-site glamping tent with wooden flooring near cascading waterfalls. Indian Cave State Park, named for its historic petroglyph-filled cave, is great for off-the-grid camping in its rugged backcountry. The park’s extensive trail network, highlighted by the Rock Bluff Run Trail, leads to year-round primitive tent camping and seasonal RV sites with electric hookups, grills, and fire rings.
