2009 Nebraska State Park Visitor Service Guide
Welcome
Thank you for your interest in Nebraska's state park system. From Chadron, our first park established in 1921, Nebraska's park system now encompasses 86 areas across the state. There are park lands to suit virtually every outdoor taste.Whether you're seeking the ultimate in modern conveniences in a picturesque outdoor setting or yearn to get back to nature amid the unspoiled beauty of the wilderness, you can find just the right locale for you from among Nebraska's exceptional state park areas.
This document lists lodging, camping and activity fees at designated areas. Links to detailed information on many of our park areas can be found here.
A Nebraska State Park Permit is required when entering all state parks, state historical parks and state recreation areas. Fees derived from the permits go to improve facilities in the park system, as well as for land acquisition and a portion of the maintenance costs. These funds help build camping areas, trailer dump stations and a variety of other park facilities across the state.
Regular park visitors will probably want to purchase the annual permit, while occasional users may find the daily permit better suits their needs. Daily permits are valid until noon after the date of issue. The entry permit does not exempt park users from other fees charged for camping, swimming, trail rides, rental boats and other activities.
Permit fees are as follows:Annual: $20.00*
Duplicate Annual: $10.00*
Daily: $4.00*
*A $1 issuing fee may be required

About Nebraska's Camping & Lodging Reservation System
Two new ways to make campground and cabin reservations for Nebraska State Parks (SP) and State Recreation Areas (SRA). Remember that we also have many first-come, first-served sites available for spur-of-moment camping.
| Online | By Telephone |
|---|---|
| Online Reservation are now available. Use the Internet to check for availability and to make campground and cabin reservations for several Nebraska state parks and recreation areas! It's fast and easy. | By Telephone - Contact a reservation agent at Nebraska's State Park call center at (402)471-1414. The Reservation Call Center is open 9 am - 6 pm, Monday - Friday and closed on Saturday and Sunday. |
| Payment is required in full at the time the reservation is made. The reservation fee applies to each site or unit reserved. | The Nebraska State Park reservation system is a great way to reserve your campsite in advance, which makes planning vacations and other events easier. |
Cabins,Lodge Rooms, Group Overnight Lodges & Cabooses
| Lodging reservations are available up to a year in advance on a
first-come, first-served basis online or by calling Nebraska's
Reservation Call Center. During peak season a two night minimum
stay is required. (This requirement may be waived if a room or
cabin is available for one night between two prior reservations or
walk-in registrations.) During non-peak season, one night stays
are accepted for Sundays-Thursdays, excluding holidays.
Reservations require a $7 (plus tax) reservation fee per unit in addition to the regular lodging fee. Reservations are accepted in person, telephone or by mail during regular office hours. Cabin check-in time is 4 p.m. and check-out time is 11 a.m. (except at Fort Robinson State Park where check-in time is 5 p.m. and check-out time is 10 a.m.) |
Example of Cabin at Platte River State Park |
Camping
| Designated campsites may be reserved one year to three days in
advance of arrival. For example, Tuesday is the last day to reserve Friday/Saturday and Wednesday is the last
day to reserve for Saturday/Sunday. Reservations require a
reservation fee in addition to the regular camping fee.
Reserved sites may not be available until 4 p.m. the day of arrival.
Reservations for primitive tent campsites are also accepted at Smith Falls State Park. Campers that would like to make reservations for Smith Falls State Park will need to call the park directly at (402)376-1306. Otherwise, campers can go online or call the call center to make reservations. Camping at all other areas is available only on a first-come, first-served basis. Stays are limited to 14 days maximum. Camping sites must be vacated by the time posted unless you re-register. |
 |
Nebraska has 86 park areas across the state. Of these 86 park areas, 71 offer camping. Of the 71 areas, 24 park areas have been designated to accept reservations on 50% of their modern campground sites. All other park areas and remaining sites at the below areas are all first-come first serve. Therefore, we have many first-come, first-served sites available for spur-of-moment camping. Below is a listing of the park areas that take reservations for either cabins, camping or both.
