Campgrounds and RV parks near Cedar Bluffs, NE

Cedar Bluffs sits in Saunders County in eastern Nebraska, within an easy drive of two of the region's busiest camping destinations. The closest developed campground is Lake Wanahoo State Recreation Area, a 1,777-acre property just north of Wahoo built around a 662-acre no-wake reservoir. It offers 95 gravel RV pads with electric hookups, 34 primitive non-electric tent sites, and six primitive cabins, and is managed by the Lower Platte North Natural Resources District rather than the state park system. A short drive southeast, Two Rivers State Recreation Area sits at the confluence of the Platte and Elkhorn rivers near Waterloo. The park is divided into several named campgrounds used by RV travelers heading to Cedar Bluffs and the greater Omaha metro: Cottonwood, Oak Grove, Goldenrod, and Riverside. Between them, campers find full-hookup pads, electric sites, primitive riverside sites, and access to seven fishing lakes. Together these two parks cover the practical range of RV camping near Cedar Bluffs, from modern hookup sites to primitive riverside stays.

Two Rivers State Recreation Area uses the Nebraska Game and Parks reservation system. About half of the sites at Cottonwood, Oak Grove, Goldenrod, and Riverside are reservable from mid-April through mid-October, and bookings open up to 180 days in advance. The remaining sites are first-come, first-served, and the park office does not take reservations by phone or in person. All arrivals check in at the park office, and a Nebraska state park entry permit is required on every vehicle. Lake Wanahoo is booked separately through the Lower Platte North NRD via the Set Your Sites platform. Half of the campsites are reservable and the rest are first-come, first-served. A separate Lake Wanahoo NRD park permit is required for entry; state park permits are not honored there.
