Scenic Park Campground, South Sioux City, Nebraska

I have never done this before, blog about a campground. Most of them are just too drab, unexceptionable, forgettable. Not this one. This is one of the best city campgrounds ever, matching some of the best private RV parks, for 1/3 the price.

This campground has spacious level sites, some in the woods, some in the open. Most are backup but there are about a dozen pull-throughs. Most sites are full hookups, water, sewer, electric, TV cable with 80+ channels and WiFi that actually works. All this for $23/night. We stayed for a week and only had to pay for 6 nights,about $19/night.

The entire campground is well groomed

Diva sits in her spot. That riverboat is across the Missouri River, in Sioux City, Iowa.  It is a casino but has just declared bankruptcy. Don't worry, however. Hard Rock is building a new casino nearby.

This shot is from across the river. If you look closely to the group of campers to the left you can see Diva!

Well, here's a close up.

A second part of the campground is more open. I think these are mostly full time sites.

All close to the Missouri River.

Scenic Park is a city park with miles of bike trails, about 6 baseball diamonds, some soccer fields, basketball courts, playground equipment for all ages. A full fledge YMCA and indoor and outdoor pool are in the park.

What a treat it was to find such a nice RV park at such a reasonable rate. Sue Brown, who manages the campground, is helpful and charming. The park keeps about 10-20 sites on a first come first serve basis.

    1. Thanks for the heads up. We will be at Hilton Head Island, SC starting that weekend, without Diva, for a two week beach vacation. Life's rough!
