Nebraska Tailwaters

Quiet and clean restroom, but due to work on the dam road, you can only access the campsite off Hwy 81 or north of Crofton.

Great for our purpose -- overnight stop on our way north. Lots of birds behind the campsites and on the river. Bathrooms and showers were very clean. Lights were left on through the night but we could block it out.

Beautiful setting on the Missouri river. We had nice, paved and fairly level parking with grass and trees around. The restroom and showers were well maintained and kept very clean throughout each day. Many people come to fish here but we are not fishermen. However, we love to walk, hike and bike and there are an abundance of trails in the area to pursue these activities. Town of Yankton and the Cottonwood Recreation area on the Lewis & Clark Lake are very accessible. The nearby visitor’s center offers great views, historical exhibits and area information.

I like to camp here this location, however, these past 2 years do not like the weedkiller they use and now all the plants are brown instead of green along the water. Also the camper next to us had an extra grey/black tank and kept spilling the contents instead of taking to the dump. Made me a little sick and had plates from Kansas.

My spot was small. No easy accessible trails. Right by the Missouri River.

Nice

We love to fish, and there was only 1 handicap place to fish. They use to have steps going down to the water at different places. No longer there. I think the flood took them out. So they need replaced, as there is no place for the elderly or handicap to get down to the water.

Gorgeous, lots of trees, paved pad, immaculate stainless shower house. Excellent hosts. Saw the sunrise which was so pretty plus pelicans flying overhead. Took a walk along the lake and saw a Belted Kingfisher plus an eagle swoop down for a fish. We also watched loads of big fish jumping.

Very nice spot. Except I made a mistake and parked in wrong spot should have been #6 and I was in #5. When the person who had #5 arrived he came and beat on my door not knock but beat, and irately told me to move. Not a problem I moved to 6.
He then calls the park ranger and accuses me of squatting. The ranger asked for my reservation and I show her. And I then let her know what happened and how the mistake I made happened. The ranger agreed it was an honest mistake. She left and went and spoke with the accuser for quite awhile.
Had that man been a gentleman and politely said hey I think you made a mistake we could have laughed it off . But know he wasted the rangers time and tried to make me a thief.
We will continue to use Tailwayers when in the area

Very clean, ample shade, level sites, not too close together
