About

Louisville State Recreation Area sits along the Platte River in Cass County, about 30 miles south of Omaha. The park offers 223 all-weather camping pads with electrical hookups, 13 sites without electricity, and 75 primitive non-designated sites. Site types include Full Hookup, Electric Plus, Electric, and Basic Hike-in, accommodating everything from large RVs to tent campers. Half of the electrical sites accept reservations through ReserveAmerica; all others are first-come, first-served. Five sandpit lakes covering 50 surface acres provide excellent fishing for largemouth bass, channel catfish, and bluegill. Lake #2 features a swimming beach with change houses and is home to a floating playground with climbing walls, domes, and monkey bars for visitors ages 6 and up who can swim. Non-powered boats and electric motors are permitted on the lakes, and canoe access to the Platte River makes this a convenient paddling destination. Facilities include modern restrooms with showers, drinking water, a dump station, fire rings, picnic tables, and a convenience store with concessions. The park has handicap-accessible facilities and allows leashed pets. A voluntary firewood restriction is in place due to invasive pests. A Nebraska State Park entry permit is required in addition to camping fees.
