Campgrounds near Fremont, Nebraska
Fremont sits along the Platte River in eastern Nebraska, roughly forty miles northwest of Omaha. The area is a hub for sandpit-lake and reservoir camping, with state recreation areas, a natural-resources-district lake, and a city-run park all within a short drive. Most sites are geared toward RVs and travel trailers, with electric hookups common and a smaller number of sites offering water hookups.
A short drive south and east lands RV travelers at Two Rivers State Recreation Area near the confluence of the Elkhorn and Platte rivers, just west of Omaha. The park covers 622 acres with 320 acres of water across several sandpit lakes, and camping is spread across multiple areas including Cottonwood, Oak Grove, and Goldenrod.
To the south near Wahoo, Lake Wanahoo NRD Recreation Area covers 1,777 acres around a 662-acre no-wake lake, with fishing, camping, picnicking, hiking, and biking. RiverWest Park in Fremont adds a smaller, close-in option for travelers who want quick access to town and the Omaha metro.
Things to do near Fremont
Water is the main draw. Two Rivers has seven lakes open to fishing plus access to the Platte River, and an unsupervised swim beach at Lake No. 4 is open Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day. Lake No. 5 is stocked with put-and-take trout, and non-motor and electric-motor boating suits kayaks, canoes, and small fishing craft.
Lake Wanahoo is stocked with largemouth bass, crappie, bluegill, blue catfish, walleye, and northern pike, and no-wake rules keep the water calm for paddlers. The recreation area also has hiking and biking trails circling the lake, a bridge linking the East and West sides, a disc golf course, and multiple playgrounds.
Along the Platte corridor between Fremont and Waterloo, paddling, bank fishing, and wildlife watching for deer, waterfowl, wild turkeys, and bald eagles are all common.

Peak season runs from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day. The swim beach at Two Rivers operates on that same window, and electric sites at Lake Wanahoo, Cottonwood, Oak Grove, and Goldenrod fill quickly on summer weekends and holidays. Booking several weeks out is smart for most summer weekends, and booking months out is smart for the Fourth of July and Labor Day.
Spring is variable. The Two Rivers trout lake normally opens to fishing on the second Saturday of March, with trout tags required until June 1, which draws anglers before the general camping crowd arrives. Expect wet ground, storm risk, and cool nights into May.
Fall shoulder season, from Labor Day into October, tends to be quieter, cooler, and pleasant for RV travel. Two Rivers is open year-round, with reservations accepted for half of the electrical campsites and the remainder first-come, first-served. The caboose lodging at Two Rivers is available April 15 through the end of September. Winter camping is possible at select parks, including power and water at Lake Wanahoo, but services are reduced.
How to book near Fremont
The Two Rivers campgrounds, including Cottonwood, Oak Grove, and Goldenrod, are managed by the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission. Reservations are available up to one year in advance for half of the electrical campsites, and all other camping is first-come, first-served. Campers register at the park office, and reservations can be booked online through the Nebraska state parks portal or by calling 402-471-1414. A Nebraska state park permit is required on the vehicle.
Lake Wanahoo is managed by the Lower Platte North NRD. Entry requires an LPNNRD park permit, sold at the LPNNRD office, online, at park kiosks, or at Super C in Wahoo. Camping sites can be reserved through the LPNNRD reservation portal, with sites for the following calendar year opening October 1. RiverWest Park handles bookings directly through the City of Fremont.
What to expect on-site
Amenities at the state recreation areas are solid for RV travel. Two Rivers offers 143 camping pads with 20-, 30-, and 50-amp electrical hookups (12 pads have water hookups), plus 64 non-electric pads, an ADA electrical site with water and an ADA non-electrical padded site, along with modern restrooms with showers and a dump and fill station. Cottonwood is the northernmost campground with 49 pull-through sites; Goldenrod is nearer the swim beach and playground.
The Lake Wanahoo camping area on the western shoreline has 95 gravel pads with electrical hookups, 34 primitive non-electric tent sites, and 6 primitive cabins, plus a shower house, drinking water, restrooms, and a playground. All tent sites have fire rings and picnic tables. Campers should note that the lack of mature trees means limited shade and wind protection, so awnings and stakes matter.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Fremont, NE
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Fremont, Nebraska?
An RV rental in Fremont is one of the more affordable Midwest road trip choices. On RVezy, travel trailers in the Fremont area typically run about $90 to $160 per night, Class C motorhomes range from roughly $150 to $250 per night, and larger Class A rigs sit around $200 to $375 per night. Book mid-week stays, target shoulder seasons in May or September, and message hosts about weekly discounts to stretch your budget further. Pro tip: a cheap RV rental Fremont families love is a travel trailer delivered straight to Fremont Lakes State Recreation Area, where you skip towing entirely and still wake up steps from the water.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Fremont,%20NebraskaDo I need a special license to rent an RV in Fremont?
Nebraska does not require a special license or commercial driver's license to drive any standard RV, so your regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Fremont. You'll also need to be at least 25 years old and an approved driver to book through RVezy, and your ID is verified securely through the platform once you reserve. Visiting from outside the U.S.? Bring an International Driving Permit alongside your home license. Most first-timers are surprised how quickly the licensing piece comes together, leaving you free to focus on planning your route to Fremont Lakes or down the Lincoln Highway.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat protection is included with my Fremont RV rental?
Every RVezy booking in Fremont comes with a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can hit Highway 30 or Highway 275 with real peace of mind. During checkout you choose the coverage level that fits your comfort, with options offering different deductibles and limits for physical damage to the RV during your trip. Pro tip: take a quick walk-around video with your host at pickup, documenting the rig's condition keeps the claims process smooth if you ever need it.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat if I need to cancel my Fremont RV trip?
Plans change, and RVezy makes that easy to handle. RVezy sets the cancellation policy for every booking in Fremont, not individual hosts, including a money-back grace period right after you book so you can lock in dates without stress. Refunds beyond that grace period depend on how close to your trip start date you cancel. If a host cancels your trip, RVezy refunds you or offers travel credits so your plans stay on track. Reach out to RVezy support any time before or during your trip and they'll walk you through your options.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a pet-friendly RV rental in Fremont?
Absolutely, and Fremont is a fantastic dog-friendly destination. Filter for a pet-friendly RV rental Fremont hosts on RVezy by toggling the Pet-Friendly filter, then message the host about your pup's size and any shedding so check-out goes smoothly. Once you're on the road, Fremont Lakes State Recreation Area welcomes leashed dogs throughout its campgrounds and along the sandpit lake shorelines, and Hormel Park along the Platte River has wide grassy areas perfect for stretching legs. Pro tip: pack a long lead line so your dog can lounge outside the RV while you grill — most Fremont Lakes sites sit under mature shade trees, ideal for relaxed afternoons together.
outdoornebraska.gov/location/fremont-lakes/Can the RV be delivered to my campground in Fremont?
Yes, RV delivery is one of the most popular options on RVezy in Fremont, especially for first-time renters. Many Fremont-area hosts will tow the RV directly to Fremont Lakes State Recreation Area, Bob Hardy RV Park at Christensen Field, or a private driveway, then level it, hook up power and water, and walk you through every system before they leave. Delivery fees are set by each host and often scale with distance, with some hosts including local delivery for free within Dodge County. Pro tip: book delivery if you're flying into Eppley Airfield (OMA) in Omaha, your motorhome rental Fremont setup will be ready and waiting about 35 miles north.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Fremont,%20NebraskaHow does mileage work and how far can I travel from Fremont?
You've got room to roam. Most Fremont hosts on RVezy offer either generous daily mileage allowances (often 100 to 150 miles per day) or even RV rental with unlimited mileage on select listings, which is ideal for a longer RV road trip from Fremont. From Fremont you're 35 miles east to Omaha, 60 miles south to Lincoln, 90 miles southwest to Mahoney State Park, 200 miles west to the Sandhills, and about 380 miles to the Black Hills of South Dakota. Pro tip: filter listings by mileage policy before booking and message hosts if your route exceeds their daily cap — many will add extra miles for a small per-mile fee.
dot.nebraska.gov/travel/Where are the best campgrounds near Fremont for RV camping?
You're spoiled for choice when it comes to RV camping near Fremont. The standout is Fremont Lakes State Recreation Area, three miles west of town, with hundreds of electric sites spread among 20 sandpit lakes. In town, Bob Hardy RV Park at Christensen Field offers sites with 30 and 50 amp service. About 30 minutes south, Eugene T. Mahoney State Park provides full hookup pads with cabins, water park access, and trails. Louisville State Recreation Area, around 45 minutes southeast, adds another lakeside option. Pro tip: reservations at Nebraska state parks open well in advance, so book early for summer weekends.
outdoornebraska.gov/location/fremont-lakes/When is the best time of year to plan a Fremont RV trip?
Late May through early October is the sweet spot for an RV rental in Fremont, Nebraska, with daytime highs climbing from the mid-70s°F in May to the mid-80s°F in July and August, then easing into comfortable 70s°F again through September. June, July, and August offer warm water for swimming at Fremont Lakes, while September brings fewer crowds, cooler nights in the 50s°F, and stunning fall color along the Platte River. Winters drop into the teens and 20s°F with snow, so most hosts pause rentals from November through March. Pro tip: target the second weekend of June for John C. Fremont Days, the town's biggest annual festival.
weather.gov/oax/I've never rented an RV before. Will I be able to figure it out?
You absolutely will, and Fremont is a great place for first time renting an RV. Every RVezy host gives you a full orientation at pickup, walking you through the generator, slide-outs, propane, fresh and waste water systems, leveling, and hookups. Many Fremont hosts also send a video tutorial in advance and stay reachable by text during your trip. Choose a Class C motorhome or travel trailer under 25 feet for easy maneuvering on Nebraska's wide rural highways. Pro tip: book your first night at Fremont Lakes State Recreation Area Pathfinder Campground, just 10 minutes from town, so if you forget anything you can dash to the Hy-Vee on East 23rd Street.
outdoornebraska.gov/location/fremont-lakes/What happens if the RV breaks down during my trip?
You're never on your own. Every RVezy booking in Fremont includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan, so a flat tire on Highway 77, a dead battery at Fremont Lakes, or a propane issue at Mahoney State Park is just a phone call away from help. Your host is also a great first call, they know their RV best and can often troubleshoot small issues over the phone. RVezy customer support is available before, during, and after your trip if you need to file a claim. Pro tip: save the roadside assistance number to your phone before pulling out of the driveway.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Fremont RV rental across state lines or into Canada?
Cross-state travel is generally welcome on an RV rental Nebraska guests book through RVezy, and Fremont's location at the crossroads of Highway 30 (the historic Lincoln Highway) and Highway 275 makes it an excellent launchpad. Popular routes include heading west to the Black Hills of South Dakota (about 6 hours), east to Iowa's Loess Hills (under 90 minutes), or south to Kansas City (3 hours). Travel into Canada may be allowed but requires advance approval from the host because of insurance considerations, so message them before booking. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on any RVezy rental. Pro tip: confirm cross-border plans in writing through the RVezy messaging system.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat kind of fuel mileage and gas costs should I budget for?
Budgeting fuel for your RV road trip from Fremont is refreshingly predictable. Class C motorhomes typically get 8 to 12 miles per gallon, Class A rigs 6 to 10 mpg, campervans 16 to 20 mpg, and travel trailers depend on your tow vehicle. Nebraska gas prices usually sit slightly below the national average, hovering around $3.00 to $3.40 per gallon in the Fremont area, and you'll find easy fuel stops at the Casey's and Bucky's along Highway 30 plus a Pilot truck stop in nearby Waterloo. For a 300-mile loop in a Class C, plan on roughly $90 to $110 in fuel. Pro tip: fill up in Fremont before heading west, prices climb in the smaller towns along Highway 275.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book campgrounds around Fremont?
Earlier is better, but you've got flexibility. Nebraska state parks, including Fremont Lakes State Recreation Area, open reservations 180 days in advance through the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission online system or by phone at 1-844-637-2757. For summer weekends, holiday weekends, and the John C. Fremont Days festival in early June, book the moment the 180-day window opens. About half of the electrical sites at Fremont Lakes are reservable; the rest are first-come, first-served, which is a great option for spontaneous mid-week trips. Pro tip: if your dates show as sold out, check back daily — cancellations happen, especially in the two weeks before arrival.
outdoornebraska.gov/reservations/What are driving conditions like around Fremont?
Driving an RV around Fremont is genuinely easy compared to most U.S. metros. The town sits on flat, open terrain at the intersection of Highway 30 and Highway 275, with wide lanes, generous shoulders, and very little traffic outside the morning and evening commute on Highway 275 between Fremont and Omaha. Watch for summer thunderstorms that can bring 50+ mph crosswinds, sudden hail, and the occasional tornado warning between May and July — pulling under a sturdy fuel canopy or into a rest area is the safe play. Winter brings ice and blowing snow, which is why most hosts pause rentals. Pro tip: download the Nebraska 511 app for real-time road conditions before any long-distance leg.
511.nebraska.gov/What amenities and hookups will I find at Fremont area campgrounds?
Fremont-area campgrounds are well-equipped for a comfortable stay. Fremont Lakes State Recreation Area offers Electric Plus, Electric, Basic, and Primitive sites across four campgrounds, with modern restrooms, hot showers, drinking water, and two dump and fill stations on-site. Pathfinder Campground recently added new ADA-compliant pads and an upgraded shower house, and full hookup sites accommodate RVs up to 100 feet. Bob Hardy RV Park in Fremont provides 30 and 50 amp pedestals plus a dump station, picnic tables, and a small playground. A Nebraska state park entry permit is required at Fremont Lakes (about $6 daily or $31 annually). Pro tip: fill your fresh water tank before leaving the dump station so you're ready for the next leg.
outdoornebraska.gov/location/fremont-lakes/What features and amenities come standard in Fremont RV rentals?
Most RVs you'll rent on RVezy in Fremont come fully equipped for comfortable living. Expect a queen or king bed, convertible dinette and sofa for extra sleeping, a kitchen with stove, microwave, fridge, and sink, a wet or dry bath with toilet and shower, roof-mounted air conditioning, propane heat, and seatbelts for everyone traveling. Many rigs also include a generator, outdoor speakers, a flat-screen TV, and basic kitchen supplies. Wi-Fi is rare onboard, but Verizon and AT&T coverage is strong throughout Dodge County, so a phone hotspot works well. Pro tip: ask your host whether linens, towels, and a starter propane tank are included or if they're paid add-ons listed on the booking page.
outdoornebraska.gov/location/fremont-lakes/What add-ons and pickup options should I know about?
Fremont hosts offer popular add-ons that make your trip easier: delivery and setup, camp chairs and outdoor mats, generator hours for off-grid stays, bedding and kitchen kits, bike racks, and even kayak rentals to use on Fremont Lakes' sandpit lakes. Pickup is typically a 30 to 60 minute walkthrough at the host's home or a meeting spot in Fremont, and many hosts allow flexible windows. One-way trips are sometimes possible, message the host before booking to ask. Pro tip: review each listing's mileage and generator policies during checkout to avoid surprises at return.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Fremont,%20NebraskaHow does payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment is straightforward and secure. When you book your campervan rental Fremont trip, RVezy charges your card for the rental total plus the protection plan and any add-ons, then holds a refundable security deposit (amount set per listing) shortly before your trip starts. The deposit is released back to your card after the host confirms the RV came back clean, fueled, and undamaged, usually within a few days of return. Keep receipts for fuel and propane top-ups to avoid refill fees. Pro tip: take time-stamped photos of the interior, exterior, fuel gauge, and mileage at pickup and dropoff, it's the single best way to keep your full security deposit.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksCan I rent an RV in Fremont during the winter?
Winter rentals in Fremont are possible but limited. January lows dip to around 16°F with regular snow, so many RVezy hosts pause bookings from mid-November through March to protect plumbing and tanks. If you do find a winter-ready listing, look for heated and enclosed underbellies, insulated tanks, and a host who offers shore-power-only stays rather than dry camping. Fremont Lakes State Recreation Area stays open year-round for day use. Pro tip: target the shoulder months of late October or early April for crisp weather, empty campgrounds, and lower rates on your RV rental Nebraska adventure without the deep-freeze risk.
