About this campground

Rock Creek Station State Recreation Area in Fairbury Nebraska offers partial and primitive (no water, electric, or sewer) hookup RV and tent camping in a location with historical relevance to the Oregon Trail, Pony Express, and Wild Bill Hickok.

What campers say

Rock Creek Station State Historical Park is a well-maintained, quiet prairie site featuring recreated cabins, Pony Express/Overland stage history and links to the Oregon/California Trail. Visitors commonly observe visible wagon wheel ruts, interpretive displays and mowed prairie trails that are pleasant for hiking and wildflower viewing. Camping is available and staff are generally helpful. Practical tradeoffs: a Nebraska park sticker or daily pass is required, the visitor/interpretive center may have limited hours, and trails involve a fair amount of walking—bring water and sunscreen and be aware of occasional wasps near buildings.
