Louisville State Recreation Area

Beautiful shady campground. We had a lovely weekend. Concession sells excellent kettle corn

Louisville SRA is terrible, please stay away (so I can make sure I can get a camping spot). It's flat so it's easy to walk of bike. Lakes are fun to kayak. Plenty of shade in most spots. The town of Louisville has a store, pizza place and ice cream shop so thats a bonus.

Amazing!
The swim beach was perfect, the water was clear and cool, you could see the fish swimming around. Huge beach so.it never really got too crowded.
Lots of picnic tables.
Lots of space to ride bikes and go on walks.
The surprising highlight was the lake side shop. Lots of things to see, do, buy, and rent. They have pretty much anything you could ask for (or may have forgotten). Fire wood, sunscreen, dishes, condiments, sand toys, floating toys/gear for the beach, toothbrushes, fishing gear, etc. The staff was also super nice
They also have a mining experience, you buy a bag for $7-$10, go to the mining station, and pan for your fossils or gems. My 3 kids LOVED it.
Freshwater fill is at the dumpstation (first right after entering the gates)
The whole trip was amazing and the whole family had a great time.

We camped at #267 and had a big area where we put up tens under the trees. Our "back door" was a step down trail to the sand bars by the Platte. We were close to the nature trails and to a water pump and the floating playground, beach, and one of several fishing docks. The camping spot was $6 for a day and $15/night. For $21 a night it's pretty cheap. Wood is $6/bundle. The floating playground was awesome. I took my 12, 11, and 6-year-olds and we had a great time. Good change from other parks for $57. You can also rent lots of water toys for an okay price.
