Osmond City Park (Poolside Park)

Osmond is a town of about 700 in northeast Nebraska, one block off Highway 20, and its city park has five camping sites with 30- and 50-amp electric and water hookups, plus a dump station near the sites. The city's own recreation page asks for a suggested donation of $10 a night -- suggested, not required, which is why we list it as free, but the honest thing is to pay it if you can. Three of the pads are about 46 by 9 feet and two are about 50 by 9. The camping is at the park by the municipal pool, and the park also has picnic shelters, tennis courts and a playground. Honest caveats: the city page does not state a stay limit, so do not assume you can settle in -- ask at city hall if you want more than a night or two. Listings mention restrooms and showers; we could not confirm those on the city's own page. The deal these towns offer is simple: camp free, and they hope you buy fuel, groceries or dinner in town. Be a good guest and it stays free for the next traveler. Town rules change often and we have not visited -- confirm current rules with the town before you go.
