Nebraska’s Plattsmouth City is looking into building a riverfront RV park.
According to a report, the park will become a spot where locals can take a break, relax, and enjoy the flow of Missouri River in a calming setting.
It will provide a space where city visitors can temporarily park their recreational vehicles, as Plattsmouth Mayor Paul Lambert described the proposed riverfront park and RV campground along the river east of downtown.
“It’s nothing elaborate because it’s in a floodway, but it will be a place where residents can get away and enjoy the river in a little more calming atmosphere,” he said.
Lambert said that the city receives many requests for locations where RVs can be parked when tourists visit the area.
“This way, they will have a place to park their RVs,” he said. “It’s just short-term.”
The proposed riverfront park/RV campground would be located on many acres of city land south of the current city boat ramp.
Plans include a walking trail, picnic area, as well as permanent seating benches. The RV park would have around 17 sites, as per Lambert.
The previous summer, the city council approved approximately $550,000 for the project, of which the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA ) will cover the bulk of the cost.
The mayor anticipates work to begin in the spring.
“It will be a new calming, relaxing area,” he expressed.
