Pawnee Lake State Recreation Area

Beautiful park. I am not sure how I had never heard about this one. It's nicely spread out with a varity of places to get into it. I saw a lot of different birds. Beatiful.

Nice little stop off of I80 if you're road tripping. Picnic benches, beach, and a good lake. Unfortunately, when I went, it was overrun by flies, probably because the garages nearby were near full. Also, bathrooms had no hands sanitizer.If you go, make sure to buy your $5 daily permit.

Camped here on a cross country road trip. Beautiful quiet location and nice campsites. Only complaint is when we arrived (5:30 pm) the office was closed and we had to call a number to find out which spot was ours. Wish we could spend more than just one night here! FYI bring coins for the shower.

This is our third time at Pawnee State Recreational Area. This is usually a stop-over for us and we enjoy getting runs and hikes in our overnights. Although often full, we find it quiet here with RV spaces that are easy to find and that offer either no hook-ups or 30 or 50 amp service.There is drinking water for RV tanks available just inside the RB camping area and a dump station outside the park. The bathrooms are ample. Truly, the showers have seen better days, but this is a campground.

Nice campground, friendly staff. Wide enough space between camp sites. Electricity is available at about half the sites. Showers acceptable but could use some love. Columbine, iris and clematis in bloom.
