This Fairy Tale Campground In Nebraska Is Like Something From A Dream

Getting away for a vacation or a mini-break should be all about finding a little slice of heaven that makes you happy, then spending as much time as possible there. This sweet privately-owned campground in central Nebraska is just about as close to a fairytale setting as you'll find here in the Cornhusker State, and you'll want to be sure to visit as soon and as often as possible.

Nebraska's Hidden Valley Campground is located seven miles southeast of the scenic Sandhills town of Arnold.

The campground is nestled into a peaceful canyon along the South Loup River in a place that displays the full beauty of the Nebraska Sandhills.

Two lakes flank the campground and the river. The whole area has a beautiful, lush covering of vegetation that enhances the feeling you're in a fairytale setting.

The abundance of water provides ample opportunities for fishing, swimming, boating, and floating on a sunny summer day.

Or you can simply wander the trails and marvel at this beautiful little hideaway.

Primitive camping is offered anywhere on the grounds. Or if you choose to bring your RV, you can enjoy electricity, water, and sewer hookups.

Just imagine seeing this first thing in the morning...

...Or this last thing at night.

This is a fabulous location for wildlife spotting. If you're patient, you may even see a deer family wander through the grounds.

It's also the perfect place for your next family reunion or other gathering. Rent the pavilion and spend the day catching up in one of the prettiest places in Nebraska.

The campground is open from early May through late September every year, so there's plenty of time to get out here to enjoy the stunning scenery.

You've really got to see this gorgeous spot in person to appreciate how truly serene and scenic it is. Taking a vacation here is truly getting away from it all.

The only regret you'll have is that you've got to leave eventually - but this place is lovely even in the rearview mirror.

Fees for camping range from $15/night for primitive sites to $25/night for RV sites with water and electricity (some also have sewer). The fee gets you a fishing pass and use of the beach, paddleboat, and inner tubes. Canoes and kayaks are available to rent for an additional charge.
