Nice little city park with camping hookups and dump station

Easy to get to off Hwy 20. Last night we stayed at Ainsworth Park which was high school sports related. Carney Park is full on rodeos. It’s rustic, sites are spacious, water and electric. Some picnic tables and a larger covered area for groups. The dump station is towards the end of the park. Restrooms are adequate, showers were hot, just don’t look at the spider webs in the rafters. Large grassy area for the dog. We had a nice meal in town at Tacos and Tequila. There’s one other RV, so will be quiet and peaceful tonight. I would imagine the camp would be really full on rodeo day. For $20, this RV camp site is a bargain. Thank you to the City of O’Neill.

Overnighter here on our way to South Dakota. Great place to stop for a night or two. Since its free for the first 3 nights its a great place. Access is easy with all "back in" spaces. Some loud trains nearby, but they stop running around 9:00 pm. Spaces are a bit trashy but functional. Full 30A/50A service with water. Central dumpstation as you enter. Very quiet at night.

Parked here for 1 night in our RV. 30A and water at each site. RV dump available. Lots and lots of flies because of rodeos and horses every weekend. Bring fly swatters (we have 3!!). Quiet. Could use some tidying.
