I love camping at Pawnee, it’s close to lincoln and has nice amenities and a swim beach as well. I sometimes camp during the week and drive to downtown Lincoln from there, it’s faster than from my house in SE Lincoln. You can even shower at the campground, make sure to bring quarters but there is also a bill changer. Tent spots never really fill up except holidays, but during the week you can basically pick any spot you want.

Really nice campground. Lots of open spots. Snow geese on the lake this morning! (That white bat across the middle of the picture)

Do they have monthly rates for long-term campers and if so how much are they?

Mark Lockhart | Apr 3, 2022
Paul Spanel | Apr 3, 2022

I believe Nebraska camping is camp in one spot for 14 days maximum and to my knowledge they do not give you a discount for staying a longer period of time. However some parks do offer winter rates when they do not have the water running I believe.

I just bought my vehicle a few days ago so would I have a problem being allowed in the park since I have not got the plates yet even though the taxes are paid? I bought my van to use specifically as a camping vehicle.

What heck is blue algae?

Donnelle Eix | Oct 1, 2018
Darcy K | Oct 1, 2018

It's blue-green algae. There's currently no bloom at Pawnee as it usually happens in the late summer when it's dryer and the water is more stagnant. Just Google it for more information.
