    Place to hang I80 between Omaha and North Platte

    I'm driving from Minnesota to Colorado springs next week via I80 and would like to find a place half way to camp for the night. Does anyone know of a place not far off of I80 between Omaha and North Platte where you could camp with hammocks? I know its a stab in the dark, but I thought I would ask.

    Thx

    Mormon island right off i80 at grand island. Idk how the camp grounds are but you can check it out anyways or if you turn south from just west of Kearny you go through alma, NE big lake there and cut through Norton, KS my town another lake. Then catch i70 at Colby to limon and 24 to the springs. Going through here is the fast way into the springs from these parts.

    Sandy Channels S.P. Exit #257- Turn South on US-183 a half mile. A wooded State Park will be on your left. Lots of trees and water. Not sure if its got facilities yet? Outhouse was there.

    Fort Kearney Rec. Area-South of 80, near Kearney NE.

    Windmill SRA- West of Kearney NE.

    All these are ten minutes off 80.

    Hitchcock Nature Area in Honey Creek, IA (about 20 minutes north of Omaha) is beautiful this time of year and offers $5/night backcountry camping. The trails are full of trees and you don't have to walk in far at all to find a spot.

    If it's getting late and you're nearing Omaha, you're welcome to hang in our backyard! I napped in my Blackbird back there just this afternoon. Got a couple of trees that are the perfect distance apart. I'm super close to I-80, right after you cross over the river into Omaha.
