Photo of the Platte River State Park

Description of Platte River State Park: The park sits about halfway between the state's two largest cities of Omaha and Lincoln. The 418-acre park merged what were once three separate areas — Harriet Harding Campfire Girls Camp, Camp Esther K. Newman, and a 104-acre wooded area.Camper Cabins: There are 31 of these cabins, grouped around central shower-latrine buildings, with four to six units in a pod. Each cabin has a refrigerator, fire grate for outdoor cooking and a picnic table, and linens are provided. With costs held down, the visitor can enjoy the park complex on a small budget. Camping: Because of the rugged terrain and limited space, there are no campsites or pads at Platte River. However, RVers will find great facilities at Louisville State Recreation Area or Eugene T. Mahoney State Park just a few minutes away. Campers are welcome to commute and enjoy the park activities. Rent a Tepee: You can rent an actual tepee in the Oto or Pawnee tepee villages. Each tepee accommodates 6 to 8 people. Some concession has been made to modern comfort, though, with wooden floors replacing the packed earth of the traditional dwelling. Modern Cabins There are 21 housekeeping cabins, which have fully equipped kitchenettes among their more modern amenities. These cabins also have bathrooms, and linens are provided.

Goodday , I visited your campground and stayed in choke cheery 2 for 2 nights , once again we loved the park and accomidation . The park is a great retreat for R&R. We have our family reunion bi-annually at your park and rent Mallet lodge for approx. 3 day's , the lodge is a great place to meet and greet other relatives and spend quiet time together , the only thing that really bothered me was the cleanliness of the cabins , I wonder if they are sanitized after each family uses them . I found on this visit that the carpets we're muddy and the bathroom had pubic hair on the walls and in the shower in the bathroom area . It seemed like the kitchen area was somewhat clean , but the bathroom was a little to be desired , I wiped all the walls down with a sanitizer and the shower . I'm not wanting to dwell on this , but for the fee of 100.00 a night I would hope that the cabin's are disinfected between group's staying in the facilities rented . Over all the entire stay was great and once again we enjoyed ourselves , The park is a great asset to the people and it's so nice to go to a nebr. state park where the campes and tents are not allowed . The vehicle traffic is at a minimal and with a serene setting . Thank you Platte River State Park and we will be back to enjoy the park and the people we spend time with. One more thing ,everyone that is enployed by the park was more than helpful and quite pleasant . Thank you all. Dan Strothkamp
