Reviews of Two Rivers State Recreation Area
"I love going here every season. You can really enjoy getting lost in nature. There are lots of seed pods and berries in the winter. Moss and small greenery are still thriving under a thick blanket of leaves."
"Love heading out to Two Rivers SRA for an afternoon hike. It's close enough to west Omaha to take a sandwich for a picnic, then take a walk around the lake or through the woods. Plenty of campsites for any size trailer. The dump station has been redone, and now has four areas to empty your trailer."
"I am giving it a low score because the bathrooms were dirty when we arrived. You had to pay for showers (it takes quarters). You also have to pay for a park pass even thou you just paid for electric only site. Which was $35.00. I never found the area to wash dishes so I washed them in the bathroom sink. Some of the site had huge puddles of water in them from the rain so make sure you are not in a low area. The plus was the sites are nicely spaced between each other and they had flushable toilets. Also we asked about buying wood and the lady said we had to go out of the park and buy some."
"This is a lovely park for camping and the caboose camper cabins they offer are a fun option. My mistake was to come for hiking - the customer service person told me the trails aren’t marked on the map they give out and he didn’t seem to know for sure if there are any or where I could find them. He did tell me to watch out for hunters with bows. The park is fairly small, we didn’t find any actual trails, I would say it is best for family camping since they do offer many different options for that (cabooses, regular cabins, multiple spaces for RVs and tents). There is a small lake with a beach that’s great for swimming, and you can also swim in the river (although the lake is safer). The cabooses should be reserved online first since they are pretty booked up through the summer. Minimum stay is two nights, so they can’t be booked just for an overnight stay. Overall the park is clean, seems safe, and the nature is pretty. We saw lots of different kinds of birds, including a goose nesting right by the camping area."
"We just went fishing with the kids for the afternoon. Had a lot of fun. And there was a lot to go to. We caught fish and frogs and saw tons of turtles. The people we got the annual permit from were awesome and helpful. And he was very nice and told us where we could catch some fish. The bathroom at the main place was nice and clean. There was hardly anyone there when we went though. It was a Tuesday afternoon."
