Camp suggestions b/t Mt. Rushmore and Asheland, Nebrask?

Our family with 3 young kids have two nights between our Reservations near Mt. Rushmore and our reservations at Eugene T. Mahoney State Park in July. Anyone know a great spot to camp near the middle of these? We have a 24ft travel trailer.

Thanks!
  • I'd suggest taking Highway 2 through the Sandhills of Nebraska- a very scenic drive. Camp at Halsey National Forest or Victoria Springs State Recreation Area. I'd also look into camping at either Chadron State Park and/or Fort Robinson State Park, tho' neither is in the middle of this part of your trip.

    Safe travels!
  • You might look at Lake McConaugy near Ogallala. Depending on if you want to spend both nights at one spot or travel and stop as you go. Fort Kearney State park is pretty neat, so is Johnson Lake SP near Lexington NE.
