Lake Minatare SRA

Lake Minatare, Nebraska I gave this beautiful place a less than perfect score because it was so pricey for a one night stay. We had to pay a 2 night minimum plus the daily user fee so it cost us $75 for one night. We did have an electric hook up and the parking pads are asphalt and there is a grill and picnic table for each site but no water at our site. There is water by the main bathhouse.

We arrived at this campground after full day of driving and started to look for our reserved campsite. We were stopped by the park police and given a $72 ticket for not having a park pass even though we were on our way to the park office and would’ve pick one up. So be careful if you are an out-of-state resident and unfamiliar with this campground.

Great place for camping, boating fishing, skiing and many other outdoor lake activities!

Spacious, great swimming. Developed and primitive camping, drive up and reserved sites. Fishing, hiking and family friendly. Dog friendly. Pit toilets.

We love Minatare. Whether it’s to drop the boat and shore play with the dogs, kayak, or just water play with the dogs, we enjoy this recreational spot 20x times annually.

Off season so we couldn’t see the lighthouse. But really pretty.

Camped on the east side away from the boat ramp. One of the nicest campgrounds in Nebraska, stayed a couple extra days as we liked it so much. Note that dump station is on the west side.
