Enjoyed the time I spent. Great place to go for a fun weekend or to spend a day. Had a lot of fun swimming and the numerous picnic tables they had all over the place made it super convenient to find a spot to just sit and enjoy myself with my family. Seemed like parking was always available despite how full the place was. Great place, I can't wait to come back.

Came in the day after a storm, and can't say enough about how quick the game and parks employee's were at getting the downed branches picked up and the campground cleaned up and ready for everyone to enjoy. Really enjoyed this SRA. Set up camp, had a movie playing for whoever wanted to come watch with us. Used the convenient fire pit for making smores. The kids had an awesome time in the swim area and playing on the inflatables. Can't wait to plan our trip back here again.

Clean lake with a beach. There is an obstacle course you can pay to play on but it is only open at certain times to a limited amount of people. Be prepared to wait for 90min of fun. Nice convenient store, camping and picnic areas. Will return.

Overall nice weekend camping trip, spots are pretty close to eachother but allows opportunity to meet people. Was still too early to swim but was able to rent tandem bikes & trikes to ride around. Pretty clean place with 2 water & dump stations, clean bathrooms & showers available. Despite the proximity to the train tracks they actually weren't annoying. Close access to the platte river with sandy Beach & sand bars.

Can I as a tax payer and disabled senior citizen who has worked in this the great state of Nebraska and paid into social security over 50 yrs. before I became disabled drive through the park with no sticker if I don't use the park

Mike McAdams | May 4, 2020
Frank Mascarello | May 5, 2020

No unfortunately it is called a "Park ENTRY Permit." Some of thr state parks and recreation areas do have parking lots near the entrance where they will allow you to park free and walk in. However that is even at the discretion of the Park Superintendent.

Where did the funding come from for the road that runs through the park when it was built and where does it come from now....tax payers or does it come from Park stickers, fishing and hunting license etc.

Mike McAdams | May 4, 2020
Frank Mascarello | May 5, 2020

I was told that most upkeep and repairs of the Park infrastructure come from fees and permits. Major inprovements and upgrades come from granks and donations to the Ne Game and Parks Commission. I can't say about flood repairs and cleanup I assume from FEMA. This question would best be directed at the Commission itself at outdoornebraska.org

Is fishing still catch and release?

Debbie Cook | May 4, 2020
Frank Mascarello | May 5, 2020

Not officially however I have not heard how the water test results came out. I would suggest that you ask at the office or the Park Super. His suggestion was to contact NEQ( Ne Environmental Quality) in Lincoln.

How many tents per site ?? 2 big or 4 little ones ?? Actually have no clue .

chikka chula | May 4, 2020
Michele Kennedy | May 5, 2020

You will have to call and ask.

Are they open and letting people camp yet or still closed due to the flooding?

Caryn Cardinal | May 4, 2020
Frank Mascarello | May 5, 2020

The park is open for limited camping. They have some spots open on a first come first served basis no reservations. The pads are all non electric because the power has not yet been turned on at thr park. You can bring and use a generator between the hoirs of 6 Am and 10 Pm. The cost is $15.00 per night plus park entry fee. Swiming is not recomended and catch & release is advised for fishermen. Bring bottled water to drink and cook with. Showers will not be open due to lack of power. Much has already been repaired but as you will see there is still a long way to go.

Are you open this year, I noticed alot of parks are closed

dorothy white | May 5, 2019
Frank Mascarello | May 6, 2019

At this time the park is still closed. It suffered catastrophic damage. They have crews working very hard to reopen asap. From what I have learned so far. Is they hope to reopen for partial use in a few weeks. Watch the website outdoornebraska.org.. At first they may only be non powered pads only due due the damage to the electric inferstructure. OPPD are working diligently at repairing there side of the system. The rest may take a little longer. I know the are prepaing to open several of the modern Restroom/Shower buildings. As I understand the sites will most likely be first come first served until all repairs can be completed. Anyone interested in volunteering to help with the rehab and repairs you can contact the Park Superintendent thru the office of the Platt River State Park. That number is (402)234-2217.. Good Camping , hope to see you there soon.

Are they planning on being open for camping by Memorial day week?

Cassie Lewis | May 5, 2019
