Nebraska has some of the finest state parks in the nation. Their parks are frequently on Top Family Campgrounds list such as Reserve America’s annual list of the country’s Top 100 Family Campgrounds.
Nebraska state parks that rank among the Top 100 Family Campgrounds are Eugene Mahoney SP, Fort Robinson SP, and Ponca SP.
Fort Robinson SP is especially interesting if you like to combine a little history and education in your family camping trip. This historic outpost served from the days of the Indian Wars until after World War II. Where else can you find a site with history of events such as the 1879 Cheyenne Outbreak, stories and death of famed Sioux Chief Crazy Horse, a cavalry remount station, K-9 dog training center, POW camp and beef research station?
Today, the State Historical Society offers a museum and many restored or reconstructed exhibit buildings to interpret the Fort's history. The University of Nebraska operates the Trailside Museum, which interprets the geology and natural history of the region.
