Nebraska Glamping

You may have never considered a vacation camping in Nebraska, but we’re here to change your mind. Will perhaps many people write off the state and never give it another thought, you will be happy you kept reading. This midwestern state is home to the prairies of the Great Plains, dramatic rock formations like Scotts Bluff National Monument, and the towering dunes of the Sandhills. Make a pit stop in the capital city, Lincoln, before heading out to the plains for a glamping getaway; Nebraska’s other principal city, Omaha is another popular stopping point in any Nebraska road trip or glamping vacation. There are many Omaha attractions and things to do in Lincoln, NE; cross the "must-dos" off your list and then head for the hills! Beyond the cities, are amazing outdoor destinations like Scotts Bluff or Chimney Rock National Historic Site. But there is still so much more to do and see in Nebraska. Go tanking—tubing down different rivers, like the Cedar River or Elkhorn River, but instead of in floating tubes, in a recycled livestock tank—bring your fishing rod and go fishing on Lake McConaughy or the Calamus River, hike in Platte River State Park, kayak the Niobrara River...are you starting to get the picture? Nebraska’s Great Plains are anything but plain! Keep reading to learn more about the best things to do in Nebraska outside!
