Platte River State Park features cabin-style and teepee camping only. Traditional tents and RV's are not allowed inside the grounds. There are 52 camping cabins open in the spring, summer and fall, and 19 cabins open for the winter season. More adventurous campers can stay inside teepees. Tennis courts, hiking trails, and swimming are available inside the confines of the camp.
Campsites are primitive along the water's edge.
Unique to this park are cabooses which serve as mock cabins. The Game and Parks Commission in Nebraska has refurbished 10 old Union Pacific Railroad cabooses for overnight guests. Each of the cars has a full kitchen, air conditioning, plumbing and can house up to 6 persons. This park is big and has lots to do.
