North Platte Area Information
Located in central Nebraska on Interstate 80, North Platte, isn’t just a cozy town, it’s a place filled with good people and a rich history. It is the place that Buffalo Bill Cody called home, and the city that hosts NEBRASKAland DAYS every year. North Platte is also home to the world’s largest rail yard, Union Pacific’s Bailey Yard, which can be viewed from the newly erected Golden Spike lookout tower.
North Platte is a town of many colors and different people that come together for a common purpose, a strong sense of community. At Lincoln Highway RV Park, you’ll get the rich hometown feeling with the North Platte history, surrounded by the good people that embrace it. We promise.
