At the heart of the largest intact prairie grassland on the planet in the Nebraska Sandhills, Seven Pines Ranch hosts self-contained RV and tent camping along the Middle Loup River near Seneca. Great for kayaking (Two-Hour Kayak Adventures available), tubing, summer wading, fishing and abundant wildlife, the night skies are phenomenal. The area is designated as an international dark sky reserve. The camp amenities include water, firewood and an authentic outhouse on site. There’s plenty of open space for your pets to run. We only book one at a time, so you have the whole campsite to yourself.

Excellent campground
It was very beautiful, close to trains so those were a little loud at night cause of their horns, but besides that it was incredible. Outhouse was clean, access to the water was fabulous stars were untouched. Very thankful. And Bob shared his homegrown tomatoes with us

A perfect space for camping and enjoying the Middle Loup river! Easy to find. No traffic. Beautiful Sandhills for a long or short bike ride. Peaceful kayaking. Both the nearby towns of Thedford and Mullen have good eating choices if you want to head to town for a meal. Bob the rancher is so accommodating and friendly! His bulls come in for a drink and to say hello to him. The deer also come and graze in the yard. It’s all so lovely!! You won’t want to pack up and leave!! One side note….pack ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. The train whistles are constant. Ha ha. Luckily I can sleep through anything!

We had an amazing time here. Bob’s land is so beautiful and well kept. We enjoyed a swim in the river, had a campfire, and saw many stars. We also appreciated the water access, outhouse, and trash. Bob even gave us some tomatoes and an eggplant from his garden! I would love to come back here if I ever get the chance.

Bob's place was so perfect for our trip. Kayaking down the Middle Loup was the highlight of it all. We also enjoyed stargazing and the campfire. It was blissfully quiet besides the trains. The Sandhills are gorgeous. Hwy 2 was a nice road trip. Thanks Bob - we look forward to returning.

Mesmerizing river.
Very nice private campsite (we had a tent), very nice setting by the mesmerizing river. There was a good toilet/outhouse without having to leave the campsite. Good firepit (and firewood), good picnic table, good trees. There are trains going by at night that sound their horn for the nearby railroad crossing.
