Answer
My perfered place when I'm in the area is: American Marine at Dubuque Yacht Basin & RV park right downtown. Their phone #(563) 556-7708. Farther out of town is a nice Corps of Engineers park Called Grant River COE Lock & Dam 11 only 10 miles up river, in Wisconson
I camp in a self contained motorhome so lack of facilities doesn't bother me.
Mud Lake is cool, I just like it all or nothing. Mines of Spain Recreation Area might have camping, but I'm not too sure about along the river.
North of town is also Finleys Landing, a small park for mostly tent camping. They are right on the river with a boat ramp, dock and marina. Their phone #(563) 556-6745.
Happy camping.

Where can I camp away from it all?

Hi, I live in Omaha Nebraska. A few old friends and I were looking forward to going camping. We want a real camping experience, not one of those canvas suburbia campgrounds, but one where we can be nearly alone (I don't mind a few friendly neighbors). Basically, I am looking for a site with no real established campgrounds. My friends have experienced this out of state (very far out of state) and we wanted to do it again. I, however am fairly new to camping and have somehow been put in charge of finding a campsite. There are a few good areas in Iowa that are Nature Refuges, but I can't find whether or not it would be illegal to camp there. So if you have any ideas about the general laws, good places to camp in my area (you know, without the overcrowded sites), or even just how to find out where to camp like this, all answers are appreciated.
I would be willing to travel 45-60 min from Omaha (at the most).
Answer
In Nebraska, many state wildlife areas permit dispersed free camping (camping outside a campground). State parks do not allow dispersed camping. Iowa isn't a lot of help, they don't allow much dispersd camping. For example, 10 miles from my place is the Medicine Creek State Wildlife Management Area. Another idea is the Nebraska National Forest. There are free dispersed campsites available in the Halsey and Chadron areas. The closer you are to the Omaha/Lincoln area, the fewer opportunities. Take a look at this website for ideas... http://www.rv-camping.org/Nebraska.html. Though the site is geared for RVers, finding tent spots is even easier and the rules are generally the same.
