Mill Race Park & Campground

What sets Mill Race Park & Campground in Atkinson, Nebraska apart is its exceptional blend of tranquil riverfront charm, recreational opportunities, and convenient proximity to downtown amenities. Situated on 50 scenic acres along the Elkhorn River and just one mile from downtown Atkinson, this campground offers a serene yet accessible retreat for campers seeking a mix of nature and convenience.

The campground features a 14-acre fishing lake, perfect for anglers or paddlers using non-motorized boats. It provides 16 RV sites with electrical hookups, as well as numerous tent camping spots spread throughout the park. Clean restroom and shower facilities enhance the comfort of overnight stays, though the dumping station is located offsite, near the Atkinson Community Center.

Unique highlights include a disc golf course and the Ken Butterfield Memorial Bluebird Trail, a half-mile loop offering birdwatching, shaded seating, and interpretive signs about the area’s ecosystems.

Located steps from the Atkinson-Stuart Country Club’s 9-hole golf course and a short distance from local dining and shopping options, the park is as well-suited for weekend getaways as it is for longer stays. Whether hiking the trail, fishing by the lake, or watching native wildlife, Mill Race Park & Campground delivers an inviting experience steeped in natural beauty and laid-back comfort.
