High Plains Camping
79 RV Sites
High Plains Camping in Oakley, Kansas, offers 76 full-hookup RV sites along the I-70 corridor, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted up to 90 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout, open all year. Every category is a pull-through or pull-in — no backing at any site — with a splash pad, general store, on-site dining, and premium WiFi. Seventy-six sites span pull-in 20/30-amp, pull-thru 20/30-amp, pull-thru 20/30/50-amp, pull-thru 30-amp, and pull-thru 50-amp categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site WiFi, sized to 90 feet. An all-pull-through layout at 90 feet is exactly what a long-haul interstate stop should be — pull in, level, sleep, pull out. Premium WiFi is available for guests who need real bandwidth. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, propane fills, RV storage, and on-site dining handle the practical side. A splash pad, community fire pit, and horseshoes fill the grounds. The amenity set is focused rather than sprawling, which suits a property built around comfortable overnight and short stays. Pets are welcome. Coming from the south: head north on US-83, turn west on US-40, then right on US-83 again after about a mile and continue 4.5 miles — the park sits about 200 yards before the I-70 ramps. Logan County sits in the heart of Kansas's geological country, with Monument Rocks and Little Jerusalem Badlands State Park nearby, halfway between Denver and Topeka. Summer interstate traffic drives demand. Reserve ahead for holiday travel periods.

Double Nickel Campground
24 RV Sites
Double Nickel Campground in Waco, Nebraska, occupies the practical middle of the state along the I-80 corridor — a well-maintained family campground in York County that serves both road-trippers crossing the Great Plains and local families from Lincoln and Omaha who want a weekend outdoor reset without the logistical overhead of a long drive. Open from mid-April through late October, the park packs a genuine amenity lineup into a compact and personably managed property that delivers more than its highway-campground billing suggests. Spacious pull-through RV sites accommodate big rigs with ease alongside grassy tent sites and a deluxe cabin for guests who want solid walls without sacrificing the campground experience. A swimming pool, basketball court, mini-golf course, playground, and game room create an on-site activity calendar that keeps families busy between road travel legs, and themed weekend events through the season add programming that gives return visitors something new to anticipate. Owners Jeff and Amanda are available around the clock — a practical detail that regularly comes up when guests describe what makes Double Nickel feel different from a chain stopover. Pets are welcome throughout the campground. The Nebraska plains landscape that surrounds Waco is quieter and more spacious than the word "rest stop" typically implies — open sky in all directions, prairie light that shifts in quality through the day, and the deep quiet of agricultural Nebraska after the interstate fades from earshot at the campground's edge. Waco sits in the Platte River agricultural corridor where Nebraska's farming identity is most concentrated, and the countryside around the park has the particular flat-horizon spaciousness that Great Plains travel cultivates an appreciation for. Sandy Meadows Golf Course provides an on-theme recreational outlet within easy reach of camp for guests inclined toward fairways between travel days. Smith Creek Recreation Area offers fishing and outdoor access within the broader county park system. Lee's Legendary Marble Museum in Waco — a genuine one-of-a-kind attraction featuring one of the largest collections of antique and artisan marbles in the world — rewards a curious hour that most I-80 travelers would never think to plan but few leave disappointed by. Lincoln, Nebraska's capital city with its thriving arts district, Haymarket neighborhood, and the University of Nebraska campus, is roughly 30 miles east on I-80 and provides a full urban day-trip option for guests staying multiple nights. Double Nickel Campground runs its full season from April 15 through October 21, with summer peak weeks and the themed weekend events drawing the heaviest demand. The pool and full amenity calendar operate through the warm-weather season, and the campground's position on the I-80 corridor keeps it accessible for both planned multi-night stays and last-minute overnight stops for traveling families who discover it while crossing Nebraska. Book ahead for holiday weekends and event-themed weeks when site availability moves quickly at this well-loved York County family campground.
