Lincoln County Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Looking for someplace practically on the interstate that feels like the country, well here’s your nirvana.  This place in North Platte Nebraska is an absolute gem.  I can see why TripAdvisor gives it 4.6 out of 5 for places to camp in North Platte.  When I think of blowing 4X as much $ on a cheap motel or spending an hour looking for BLM free land to camp for the night I am glad I have this relaxing time under my shady willow tree looking out over my picnic table to write this trove.  i80lakesidecampground.com for anyone like myself who ‘car camps’ when on the I 80 which runs from California to New York.  I can literally see the interstate from my makeshift bed in the back of my Jeep and for $17.10 it’s a beautiful bargain.  Has a private lake, cute store with all kinds of tourist guides for the state (though I am only passing through) and ‘dispersed’ campsites that don’t have you listening to your neighbors conversations and it’s pet friendly. I can’t recommend it more highly.
