Tent Camping near Lemoyne, Nebraska

Cuzn Eddyz Campground

17 RV Sites, 2 Tent Sites

Cuzn Eddyz Campground in Merna, NE, offers 17 full-hookup RV sites and 2 tent sites, with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 80 feet. Sites come as back-ins and pull-thrus, each carrying water, sewer, and electric with a fire pit and picnic table. At 80 feet the pull-thrus take the longest coaches — genuinely useful on a cross-Nebraska run. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, and firewood cover the essentials. The bath house and laundry are keypad-locked; the campground provides the codes at check-in. Pets are welcome. A ball field, a playground, and horseshoes fill the grounds, in a campground built as much around the gathering space as the sites. Merna sits at the junction of Highway 2 and Highway 92 in the heart of the Sandhills — the 19,000-square-mile grass-stabilized dune system that is the largest of its kind in the Western Hemisphere, and one of the darkest night skies in the country. Rates for sites and tent spots are on the booking page. Highway 2 is a designated scenic byway and summer traffic fills the park, so reserve ahead.

Cheyenne RV Resort

42 RV Sites, 6 Cabins, 17 Tent Sites

Cheyenne RV Resort in Cheyenne, WY, offers 42 full-hookup pull-thru RV sites, 6 cabins, and 17 tent sites, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 85 feet. Sites come in two categories, standard and premium pull-thrus, both carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi and a picnic table, and ADA-accessible sites are available. Every site is a pull-thru and the maximum length is 85 feet — a long coach with a toad pulls straight through. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, a snack bar, firewood, propane fills and exchange, a dump station, a clubhouse, and a pet washing station cover the rest. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. An outdoor pool, mini-golf, a pavilion, a playground, a pond, walking trails, volleyball, basketball, and horseshoes fill the grounds, with hiking, biking, swimming, birding, and High Plains stargazing. A state park is nearby. Cheyenne is the state capital at the junction of I-25 and I-80, where the High Plains meet the Laramie Range — and the home of Cheyenne Frontier Days each July. Rates for sites, cabins, and tent spots are on the booking page. Frontier Days week books out a year ahead.

Cheyenne Sky RV Park

57 RV Sites, 4 Tent Sites

Cheyenne Sky RV Park in Wyoming offers 69 RV sites and four tent sites at the crossroads of I-80 and I-25, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 60 feet. Full-hookup back-in and pull-through categories join an electric-only back-in tier, with mature cottonwood shade, a playground, dog park, and general store. Sixty-nine sites span back-in electric only, back-in full hookup, and pull-through full hookup categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 60 feet. Read the category carefully — the electric-only tier carries no water or sewer at the site and prices accordingly, which is a useful option for a self-contained overnight. Four tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, and restrooms handle the practical side. All guests check in at the main office and sign the terms — e-signature is encouraged in advance. A playground and dog park fill the grounds, with a golf course and a state park nearby. Pets are welcome. The cottonwood shade is worth calling out. Mature trees are a genuine rarity in the high-plains environment, and on a hot Wyoming afternoon the difference between a shaded site and an open one is substantial. Cheyenne sits where I-80 and I-25 meet, which makes it one of the most useful stops in the Mountain West, and the Wyoming State Capitol, the Cheyenne Depot Museum, and Curt Gowdy State Park are all close. Cheyenne Frontier Days in late July fills the entire city — reserve as early as you can for that week. Otherwise demand tracks interstate traffic, with summer the peak.

Badlands Hotel and Campground

26 RV Sites, 26 Tent Sites, 21 Hotel Rooms

Badlands Hotel and Campground in Interior, South Dakota, offers 24 RV sites, 21 hotel rooms, and 26 tent sites one mile from Badlands National Park's south entrance, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted up to 100 feet. Full-hookup, water-and-electric, and no-hookup categories serve every budget in one of the country's most isolated park settings. Twenty-four sites span 30-amp back-in, 30-amp water-and-electric back-in, 50-amp water-and-electric back-in, no-hookup back-in, and pull-through categories, sized to 100 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and site WiFi. The no-hookup option suits self-contained rigs at a lower rate. Twenty-one hotel rooms, a two-bedroom apartment, and 26 tent sites round out an unusually broad lodging range. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, firewood, and on-site dining handle the practical side. Campfires are permitted, subject to any posted restrictions. An outdoor pool anchors the warm months, with walking trails, picnicking, hiking, boating, and birding from the area. Pets are welcome. The one-mile distance from the park's south entrance is the whole proposition. Badlands National Park protects one of the most visually striking geological landscapes in North America and one of the largest intact mixed-grass prairie ecosystems left on the Great Plains. This is genuinely remote country — the nearest significant commercial infrastructure is an hour away, which makes a property with hotel rooms, a store, and a restaurant unusually valuable. Summer is peak. Reserve well ahead.

Cloud Nine Camping

4 Tent Sites, 6 Onsite RV/Trailers, 1 Tiny House

Cloud Nine Camping in Hermosa, South Dakota, offers RV sites, tent camping, and cabin accommodations across 33 private acres enclosed by Black Hills National Forest on three sides, one mile off the highway between Rapid City and Custer. A general store, community fire pit, dump station, and sports courts serve a campground built around forest quiet rather than resort programming. RV sites and tent sites occupy the wooded acreage, with cabin accommodations for guests traveling without a rig. A dump station serves RV guests, and a general store stocks basics with firewood available on site. Restrooms and WiFi cover the practical needs. This is ponderosa pine country at roughly 4,800 feet, where the trees are large enough to give genuine shade and the national forest boundary begins at the property line. Pets are welcome. The forest setting is the draw. Hiking trails run off the back side of the property directly into national forest land, with walking trails on the grounds and sports courts and volleyball for on-site recreation. The dark, high-elevation sky makes for excellent stargazing, and the surrounding pine forest supports strong bird and wildlife watching. The campground positions itself explicitly as an alternative to the crowded, heavily developed campgrounds nearer the major attractions — guests get forest privacy without the remoteness penalty that adds an hour to every drive. Custer State Park is three miles south, Lakota Lake three miles, Center Lake six, and Mount Rushmore and Keystone seven. Grocery stores are in Hermosa and Hill City, with smaller convenience stores in Keystone. The campground serves the Black Hills summer season, when Mount Rushmore and Custer State Park traffic peaks. Reserve ahead for July and August, and note that the August Sturgis rally tightens availability across the entire region.
