GenieSummary
Fort Kearny State Recreation Area is a campground located in Nebraska, with easy access from the interstate and good cell coverage. There are a variety of sites available, from primitive sites to 30 amp (yellow) and 50 amp (red) sites, so any size rig can find a spot. The campground is surrounded by seven sandpit lakes, with handicap accessible piers available at Lakes 5, 6, and 7. Lake 7 also has a swimming beach. The campground has mature cottonwood trees, providing lots of shade, and each site has a picnic table and fire ring. Unfortunately, the sites are in poor condition due to erosion, and the vault toilets are often overfull. There is also a daily vehicle park permit required, making the cost quite high for what is offered. However, the campground does offer free bikes for guests to use around the campground and on the nearby hike/bike trail.
