Cabela’s RV Park, Sydney, NE

Stay Date:  May 2015
Our Rating:  GOOD – 6
The park is adjacent to Cabela’s corporate headquarters and store and while open year round, is not staffed until June.  Trying to use the self-service kiosk, we found that there were no forms, so we wrote out the information of a piece of paper and enclosed a check.  Most sites are full hookup, but there is a row of electric-only for a reduced price.  We opted for the electric only, but since those sites were too short to keep the tow hooked up, we picked a full-service site and only hooked up the electric.  The park is fairly nice, with gravel sites separated by grass strips with table and a small tree.  No WiFi, but Verizon cell/data worked well.  We watched as RV pulled in all evening without appearing to pay, but since no one seems to care it’s Cabela’s loss.  Plenty of dining options in the area, and a Super Wal-Mart is just down the street.  OK for an overnight, but not much in the area to warrant a longer stay.  Cabela’s RV Park

Holiday RV Park, North Platte, NE

Stay Date:  June 2010
Our Rating:  GOOD – 8
Convenient to I-80, this popular stopping place offers a good overnight stay, albeit at premium price ($35/night).  Dirt roads and level sites, lots of trees and bushes.  Tough to see the sky for the satellite, but free cable TV and WiFi.  Verizon cell and Aircard worked well.  Flying J just down the road, some road noise but not too bad.  Another pricey park, but not much else in the area.  Holiday RV Park
