Sandhills Global Event Center

37 RV Sites

Sandhills Global Event Center in Lincoln, NE, offers 37 RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 55 feet. Sites come in three categories — back-in 30/50-amp, pull-thru 30/50-amp, and pull-thru 30-amp — each carrying water and electric. There's no sewer at the site, so plan on the on-site dump station. The park is rated big rig friendly, with laundry, a bathhouse with showers, propane fills and exchange, a pavilion, and WiFi. Pets are welcome. Walking trails run the grounds with hiking and biking, and the event center campus itself is the differentiator — guests park inside a working fairgrounds and event venue rather than at a standalone campground, which is ideal during a show and quiet between them. Lincoln is the state capital and home of the University of Nebraska, at the eastern edge of the Great Plains. Rates and availability are on the booking page. Check the event center calendar when you pick dates — show weeks fill the park and quiet weeks are wide open.

Double Nickel Campground

24 RV Sites

Double 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.

Basswood Resort

57 RV Sites, 5 Tent Sites

Basswood Resort in Platte City, Missouri, offers 57 full-hookup RV sites and five tent sites 30 minutes from downtown Kansas City, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 85 feet. Deluxe, premium, and standard back-in and pull-through categories join an outdoor pool, disc golf course, jumping pillow, and lake. Fifty-seven sites span standard back-in 20/30/50-amp, standard pull-thru 20/30/50-amp, standard, deluxe back-in, deluxe pull-thru, and premium back-in categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 85 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Eighty-five feet accommodates the longest coaches with a tow. Five tent sites, cabins, and trailer rentals round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, showers, and golf cart rentals handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a disc golf course, jumping pillow, fitness center, clubhouse, gaga ball, pickleball, basketball, shuffleboard, horseshoes, corn hole, walking trails, hiking, a lake, playground, and dog park filling the rest. Fishing and planned activities round it out, with a golf course, casino, and amusement park nearby. Platte County feels genuinely rural — livestock pastures, creek valleys, and Missouri hardwood forest — while keeping Kansas City's barbecue, jazz history, and professional sports 30 minutes away. Kansas City International Airport is close, which makes this practical for fly-in guests picking up a rig. Summer drives the heaviest demand, with spring and fall the most comfortable months. Reserve well ahead for warm-weather weekends and Kansas City event dates.

The owners describe it as country camping with city convenience, and the geography backs that up — shaded sites in genuine Dallas County countryside, a mile and a half from the interstate and minutes from West Des Moines. Summer is the peak, with the interstate position bringing steady through-traffic year-round. Reserve ahead for summer weekends.
