WHY STAY HERE
Better Than a Parking Lot
Most overnight RV stops in the Omaha metro mean a Walmart lot or a highway-adjacent park-n-ride. Merritt Beach is the alternative — a real campground, a real lake, for roughly the same price.
Wake up to water, not traffic
The park is set back from the highway with lake frontage. You’re 30 minutes from Omaha without looking or sounding like it.
Full hookups every site
Every pad has water and electric. No dry camping. No rationing your generator through the night.
Offutt AFB & Bellevue area access
Contractors, military families, and TDY personnel use Merritt Beach regularly. It’s 15 minutes from the base — a convenient overnight or multi-night option.
Community feel, not a staging lot
Merritt Beach has 125 permanent sites and a real community. Overnight guests are welcome within that context. It feels like camping, not parking.
Everything you need within 5 miles
Hy-Vee grocery, restaurants, a bait shop, and gas stations are all within a short drive. Stock up before you settle in for the evening.

Volleyball court, playground, biking paths — great for stretching out after a long day on the road.

Golf Carts & ATVs OK
Explore the campground on your own wheels. Golf carts and ATVs are permitted within the park.
Pump-Out Service
Sewer hookups aren’t available on-site, but Merritt Beach partners with local pump-out providers who come to your RV for a small fee — so you never have to leave for tank service.

Can I book multiple nights at the overnight rate?
Yes, short multi-night stays are available at the nightly rate subject to availability. If you’re planning a longer stay of a week or more, ask about monthly site options — they may offer better value.
What hookups are available for overnight guests?

Is this a good stop for I-29 / Hwy 75 travelers?
