About
Danish Alps State Recreation Area is a 520-acre parkland surrounding the 219-acre Kramper Lake, located near Hubbard in Dakota County, Nebraska. Opened in August 2015, the area is owned by the Papio-Missouri River NRD and managed by Nebraska Game & Parks Commission. The name honors the Danish immigrants who settled this region of rolling hills. The campground offers diverse camping options including 34 gravel electric plus pads with electrical hookups, two ADA-accessible cement pads, seven pull-through pads, and 22 basic tent sites. An equestrian campground features 14 horse corrals with hitching posts and water access, while six kayak-in campsites provide secluded options for paddlers. Modern restrooms with coin-operated showers, drinking water, and a dump station serve all campers. Recreation opportunities include fishing for bluegill, catfish, crappie, largemouth bass, and walleye. A 9.5-mile horseback riding trail circles most of the lake, while a separate limestone trail spans over 15 miles for hiking and biking. The area also offers boat launches, accessible fishing docks, playgrounds, and three day-use areas with picnic shelters.
