Nestled between a highway and a raging river, one might be worried about noise. It was a very quiet and relaxing week and we look forward to returning.

A nice park and a very nice view.
Not giving a 5 star because of the flys and bugs.
Host was very nice.

Brian is a great host. The whole area was clean, bathrooms and showers are well maintained. A very nice and quiet place to vacation.

NE Tailwaters is a hidden gem away from the hustle and bustle of most other local campgrounds. Not to mention a $10 daily savings as compared to SD campgrounds. The only setback is no full hookups. The dump station is nearby although. Bathhouses are extremely well taken care of and serviced daily. We would certainly return for camping at this location. Thanks to staff taking care of business in the Tailwaters campground!

I enjoyed Nebraska Tailwater. I have been there earlier this year, and it was just as nice as it was the time I went there September as it was in June. I would have liked to stay longer, but other people like to just take in the weekend only, when I wanted to stay the maximum stay of two weeks. There wasn’t any room for me at that time. In the future, I will come back and hopefully have the space for me to stay the two weeks next time.

No frills, good shade, excellent view of outflow and park across the River. Bald eagles were a plus. Late August and weather was great! Spent two nights and would gladly stay again!

The camp host was great. Greeted me at checkin. Escorted me to my tent site and even provided some fire wood. Then provided me with information on where to get a good evening meal. Left the campground to get a bite to eat. Upon return, that's when things went downhill. A large group arrived taking up several sites. (Group was together. ) The members of this group did not quit making noise until 2 in the morning. During the same time frame, another subject drving a pickup truck with a very loud exhaust felt the need to drive through the campground several times. MANDATORY QUIET TIMES NEED TO BE IMPOSED AND ENFORCED!
