Double Nickel Campground
Waco, Nebraska
24 RV Sites
4.52 reviewsDouble Nickel Campground in Waco, Nebraska, offers 24 full-hookup pull-through RV sites on the I-80 corridor, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted up to 120 feet, behind a gated entrance. Categories are sized by rig — Big Rig, under 35 feet, and under 30 feet — with an outdoor pool, mini-golf, storm shelter, and recreation center.
Twenty-four sites are pull-through throughout, spanning Big Rig, under 35 feet, and under 30 feet categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site WiFi, sized to 120 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Sizing by rig class is genuinely fair, and 120 feet on an all-pull-through layout is exactly what a long-haul interstate stop should offer. The WiFi has been upgraded multiple times and carries good signal across the park. A laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. The storm shelter is a real safety feature in Nebraska rather than a marketing line.
An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with mini-golf, an arcade, recreation center, basketball, volleyball, gaga ball, horseshoes, a playground, and dog park filling the rest. Cabins are available, and a golf course is nearby.
York County sits in the practical middle of Nebraska on I-80, which makes this one of the most useful stops on a long crossing — and enough on-site recreation that families from Lincoln and Omaha come for the weekend rather than just the night.
Summer interstate traffic drives demand. Reserve ahead for holiday travel periods.

The Double Nickel Campground is a beautiful location. We were there a couple of days after the 4th of July and unfortunatley the beach area in from of the short term RVer's was littered with garbage. The grass area outside our RV was a landmine of dog poop. It looked recent and I hope it was and they hadn't ...Show more

Frequently Asked Questions
How good is your wifi really?
- We have made multiple upgrades to our wireless and all rigs should have good signal strength in the park.
- Additionally, our service provider has installed dual connections for redundancy and we actively manage our bandwidth to ensure that everyone is able to enjoy our WiFi.
- Our WiFi is optimized for web browsing, email, and video streaming.
- We reserve the right to throttle bandwidth-intensive users during peak hours to ensure that everyone has equal access to the internet.
Do you offer early check-in or late check-out?
- Early check-in / late check-out may be available on a limited number of sites except for Saturdays, some Sundays, and holiday weekends depending on availability.
- If the site is available early check-in / late check-out is available for an additional $15.
- When available, late checkout is no later than 4 pm.
- Customers wishing to stay past 4 pm will need to pay for another night.
- Please notify us when booking the site since we have a limited number of sites we can offer early check-in/late check-out on, especially during the summer season.
- We do not allow late checkouts in June and July.
Why is your occupancy based on six people and why don't you charge extra for all your amenities?
- As park owners and RVers ourselves we understand the frustration of showing up at an RV park only to see the rate double when we tell them there are four of us and we have pets.
- We believe in charging a transparent and fair rate to our customers, especially those on a budget.
- We only charge $5 per additional guest over the age of 4 and we do not charge for pets.
- We also include as many amenities as we can in our base rate.
I am not sure whether I will be able to make it to your park before dark, so will there be someone there to assist me with check-in?
- The park owners live at the entrance to the park and are happy to assist customers at all hours.
- Simply call the main number or ring the front doorbell.
- We answer the phone during office hours but respond to urgent messages at all hours.
- In the event that there is no answer leave a message and we will get back to you immediately. You can also send us a text!
Do the owners really live on-site?
- Yes, we do! In fact, we live in the campground and utilize the same facilities as our customers.
- We actively manage and monitor our park using the latest technology.
- You can rest assured that if there are any issues in the park we are readily available and happy to assist!
Why do you only do curbside trash pickup and why do you no longer have a large dumpster?
- First and foremost curbside pickup is an important convenience we wanted to offer our customers.
- Additionally, being in the outdoor recreation industry we take our relationship with the environment seriously. Unfortunately due to our location recycling services were not available.
- In an effort to keep our rates low and our environmental impact lower, we haul trash and recyclables ourselves.
What discounts do you offer?
- We offer discounts to seniors (55+), returning customers, Escapees, and Dyrt.
Why do you require full payment for a reservation?
- The pandemic has changed the way we all do business. We have found that by collecting the full amount we can offer a better experience to our customers at check-in by having everything ready when you get here.
- This significantly reduces the amount of time it takes for you to get back to your site and relax while also giving us the option to provide you with a contactless check-in.
Do you have cable TV?
- Unfortunately due to our location, we are unable to offer cable TV but we do get good over-the-air reception (8-12 stations) and offer many sites that are satellite-friendly. Additionally, in many circumstances, our WiFi will support video streaming (Netflix, SlingTV, etc.).
I just bought a new camper. Can you guide me through my first trip?
- Absolutely! Just call our office and let us know you are new to RVing.
- We will walk you through the registration and site selection process.
- If you would like some help getting set up for the first time we can be there to answer any questions and assist as needed without drawing a crowd!
