Cabela's RV Park
Overview
Located in the high plains of Western Nebraska, Cabela's RV Park offers a reliable and convenient resting spot for travelers moving along the Interstate 80 corridor. As the birthplace of the legendary outdoor brand, this park reflects a commitment to the outdoor lifestyle while providing modern comforts. It functions primarily as a high-quality stopover rather than a destination resort, offering a clean, organized environment for those trekking across the country. The park maintains a professional, quiet atmosphere that caters to weary road travelers looking for a dependable night of rest.
Location & Surroundings
The park is situated just off the highway in Sidney, providing easy access for large rigs and those hauling trailers. The surrounding landscape features the rolling prairies and vast horizons typical of the Nebraska panhandle. Guests will find themselves within walking distance of the Cabela's Flagship Store, which serves as a major landmark for the region. The setting is open and airy, allowing for beautiful sunset views over the western landscape, with enough distance from the highway to keep noise levels manageable.
Amenities & Park Features
Travelers can expect practical, well-maintained facilities designed for a seamless stay. The park features full-hookup sites with both 30 and 50-amp service, accommodating various vehicle sizes. Most sites are long pull-throughs, making it easy to set up without unhooking. On-site amenities include:
- Clean restroom and shower facilities for refreshing after a long drive.
- On-site laundry machines to help keep travel wardrobes fresh.
- Reliable Wi-Fi access to help travelers stay connected on the road.
- A designated pet area to ensure furry travel companions are welcome.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The primary draw is the massive Cabela's store, which includes museum-quality taxidermy displays and a large aquarium. History buffs should visit the Fort Sidney Museum and Post Commander's Home to learn about the area's frontier past and its role on the Union Pacific Railroad. For those willing to explore slightly further, the historic Lincoln Highway offers a scenic route through charming small Nebraska towns. Local dining in Sidney provides a taste of Midwestern hospitality, with several locally-owned steakhouses and diners located just a short drive away.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is ideal for cross-country travelers who prioritize convenience and cleanliness. It is a perfect fit for outdoor enthusiasts visiting the flagship store or those needing a safe, quiet place to recharge before continuing toward the Rockies or the Great Lakes. Because of its level gravel pads and easy navigation, it is particularly well-suited for big-rig owners and first-time RVers looking for a stress-free parking experience during a long-distance road trip.

Earlier this month, we were looking for a place to stay, after hours, in our RV.. We pulled up and found a spot and had a choice of amenities (electric/water or just electric) on a Sunday night. It was perfect for a night stay; easy access to the highway, good value with our AAA membership, and quiet. Each campsite with water and electric had grass, a tree, a BBQ stand, and a picnic bench. The electric only sites were only pull throughs with a gravel pad. The restrooms were clean but we passed on the showers. They were pretty small stalls. We found the rates and info from a flyer outside the campground office (not in use). In the morning, we checked out at Cabela's. Really friendly and warm service from the gal in Customer Service.

This is for TENT CAMPING only. Sprinklers are "on an automatic timer" and flooded my tent, soaked my sleeping bag, blankets and cot. Apparently tent campers are supposed to use the gravel pads BUT NO ONE TELLS YOU THAT. Based on other reviews, I asked at check-in if the sprinklers would be a problem and I was told "they shouldn't be". I should have probed further, but I didn't. At around 6am I went to shower and upon my returned found the sprinklers on and all my stuff soaked. And I have three more days of wet gear before I reach home. Cabela's, cant you just hand a half sheet printout to each camper at checkin which says, get out by 0530 (that would have been fine with me), stake on the gravel beds (which I assumed was for your automobile), beware of sprinklers on auto timers. Something. Grrrrrrrr. The spot is good - in safe and location (super noisy tho) at a great price - if you don't have a problem packing up water logged gear. I'm flummoxed that this keeps happening to people.

We stopped here as an overnight stop on our way across the country on I-80. Arrived after the store closed, they have a kiosk to check in. At first everything was great, nice spot, nice view, clean bathrooms. Then, while we were sitting outside as a family enjoying our evening, the sprinklers at the campsite turned on, soaking us, our equipment, and blasting through the open windows on our camper. They stayed on for 40 minutes, during which time we didn't dare go out our door. Eventually went to sleep, then the power at our site went out at 1 AM. Turns out another section of sprinklers directly next to the power pedestal turned on at that time and blasted water into our surge protector, ruining it. The store did make it right, and kudos to them for that. But we won't be coming back and we don't recommend this campground.

With our 24' self-contained rig it was easy to find a spot. Plenty of room for large rigs as well. Showers could use more shelves, pegs, hooks. Older but clean. Plenty of hot water. Would definitely stay again.

Great camp spot! Close to I80 but not too close. First come first served with no reservations. Choose a spot then go to the Cabelas store to pay where you will be given a code for the bathrooms and shower. We were able to get a full service spot. Quiet and beautiful landscape. Large grassy area for tents.
