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!
