Where to Hang? Nebraska I-80

Last minute I find myself driving from Scottsbluff, NE to Ohio on I-80 and will likely need to stop to sleep midway through NE. Can't hike but I sure would love a spot to car-hang on a Thursday night.

I am not familiar with western Ne but at the Grand Island exit (#312) there is a nice campground called Mormon Island, just 1/4 mile off the interstate. Then at the Waco exit (about #348) is another nice private campground. Farther east at exit #426 is Mahoney State Park, about 2 miles north of the Interstate. I think any of these would have trees suitable for hanging. All would have fees required.
There are probably many others but these are ones I am sure of.

Thanks so much for the reply!

Traveling to Ohio makes stopping in Nebraska seems a bit short for the first leg. But Mahoney State Park is the furthest east and last real place before entering Iowa

Thank you,Codiac. Flying into Denver, driving to Scottsbluff then beginning my drive probly around 4pm Mountain time. So that 1st leg is longer than it appears.
your feedback is great. Thanks!

I 80 & hwy 183, (Exit# 257, Holdredge exit), turn south. ~1/2 mile. Theres a nice campspot on the Platte.
About 4 hrs from Scottsbluff.

Seward has a campground set up for RV's. Primitive by RV standards. Electric and gravel grass sites. I drove through it last week and I think you could find a couple of trees on the edge that would work. $10 or $7 for us seniors.
Beaver Crossing also has a campground but I do not know what it is like.
Further west is Fort Kearney State Park with lots of trees.
