Point of Rocks Motel and Campground - Potter, Nebraska (July 2018)

We were tired after a long day of dragging Rosie, our 25 foot Airstream trailer, across Wyoming and the plains of Nebraska. The AllStays app on our iPhones had good reviews for the Point of Rocks Motel and Campground. A quick phone call confirmed that the park wasn’t full and we could stop there for the night.

The directions to the campground said that it was a few miles off I-80. That was an understatement as we headed down some country roads looking for the campground. We saw the motel first and that was helpful since there wasn’t a sign we could see for the campground.

Many of the online reviews mentioned the train tracks across the street from the campground. It was easy to see why this was an issue with some people. We not only heard the frequent trains, we could feel Rosie vibrate when the trains passed by.

How often were the trains? It seemed as if one went by every 15 minutes. That's not as bad as it sounds because we quickly got used to the train sounds. Correction, Suzy, our Yorkie, was always excited when she heard the trains. 

We could not help but notice that this campground was in a beautiful setting. There was a corn field immediately behind the park and a pasture with cattle grazing next to the field. The Interstate was just beyond the farmland and that was far enough that we didn’t hear road noises. Several people mentioned in their online reviews of this park that the fees were very reasonable. That was true, but we thought the campground's beautiful setting was its best asset.

Here are some specifics about this campground:

• Our site was paved with gravel and we needed leveling tools to correct a left-to-right lean
• Our site had 30 amp electrical service 
• Our site had a water connection 
• Our site had a sewer connection 
• The campground's restrooms were being renovated and only one was open during our visit. It definitely needed to be renovated 
• We could not receive any TV signals using Rosie’s antenna 
• AT&T placed a usable 3G signal over our site 

We enjoyed our night in this campground.
