Campgrounds near Tekamah
Tekamah sits in Burt County, Nebraska, along U.S. Highway 75, about an hour north of Omaha and just west of the Missouri River. The area draws RV travelers looking for quiet lakeside sites, river-corridor recreation, and easy access to both Nebraska and Iowa state parks. Elevation stays modest, terrain is gently rolling, and the river bluffs on the Iowa side add a scenic edge to what is otherwise open farm country.
Most RV-friendly options cluster around Onawa, Iowa, roughly 20 to 30 minutes across the river. Sunset at Blue Oasis RV Park - Onawa, On-Ur-Wa RV Park, and the Onawa / Blue Lake KOA Holiday sit within a short drive of each other and of Lewis And Clark State Park, which fronts the oxbow Blue Lake. Further south along the Missouri, Wilson Island State Recreation Area offers a wooded, river-adjacent alternative next to the DeSoto National Wildlife Refuge.
Together these campgrounds cover the range from full-hookup private parks to state-managed lakeside and riverside sites, making the corridor a practical base for a multi-night RV trip.
Things to do near Tekamah
Water recreation anchors most trips. Lewis And Clark State Park sits on Blue Lake, an oxbow of the Missouri River, and includes a swimming beach, boat ramps, and fishing access. A full-size replica of the Lewis and Clark keelboat is on display at the park, though the visitor center and keelboat exhibit have been closed for HVAC renovations in recent seasons.
On the Iowa side, Wilson Island State Recreation Area connects directly to the adjacent DeSoto National Wildlife Refuge, which surrounds an oxbow lake used as a stopover by migratory waterfowl. Closer to Tekamah, Summit Lake State Recreation Area adds shore fishing, boating with a no-wake limit, a swimming beach, hiking, and an equestrian trail within a few miles of downtown.

The camping season in this corridor is tied to spring thaw and fall freeze. At Lewis And Clark State Park, the campground is closed January through March, off-peak in April, peak from May through mid-October, off-peak from October 16 to October 31, and closed November through December. Water, showers, and dump stations at Iowa state parks are typically on from mid-April through mid-October.
Wilson Island State Recreation Area follows a similar pattern, opening in mid-April and running through mid-October, then closing for the winter. Private parks such as the Onawa / Blue Lake KOA Holiday, Sunset at Blue Oasis RV Park - Onawa, and On-Ur-Wa RV Park generally hold longer shoulder seasons, but exact dates should be confirmed with each operator.
Summer weekends and holidays fill first. Iowa state park fees are modest, so lakeside sites fill quickly on weekends and holidays, and booking as soon as the window opens is the safest approach for peak dates.
How to book
Iowa state park sites use a single reservation system. Lewis And Clark State Park is 100 percent reservable, accepts reservations April through October, and is closed November through March. Wilson Island State Recreation Area uses the same platform and is also fully reservable during its open season. Reservations at both parks can be made for today and up to three months in advance, so travelers targeting summer weekends should book as soon as that window opens.
Summit Lake State Recreation Area near Tekamah is first-come, first-served and is not listed on the Iowa reservation system. Private parks including the Onawa / Blue Lake KOA Holiday, Sunset at Blue Oasis RV Park - Onawa, and On-Ur-Wa RV Park take reservations through their own websites or phone lines, with holiday weekends often selling out first.
What to expect on site
Expect a mix of open, exposed sites and lakeside pads. Lewis And Clark State Park offers a lakeshore campground with mostly electric sites and a smaller number of full-hookup sites, plus modern restrooms, showers, and a dump station. Following a large hazard-tree removal, shaded sites are now limited and new trees are being planted, so campers should plan for exposure until the canopy returns.
Wilson Island State Recreation Area has roughly 44 sites, including electric and non-electric options and three youth group areas, served by modern restrooms with showers and a dump station. Site-level water hookups are not provided, so RVers should arrive with full freshwater tanks. The Missouri River corridor draws mosquitoes in mid-summer, and campers should buy firewood locally to help slow the spread of invasive tree pests.
