Traveling to Ashland by RV

Highway 6 serves as your main route into Ashland, connecting east to I-480 near Omaha and west toward I-80 at Gretna. From I-80, take Exit 432 for Highway 6 west -- it's about a 12-mile straight shot south to town. The route handles big rigs just fine with no low bridges or weight restrictions to worry about.

RV routing through Ashland itself is uncomplicated since most streets accommodate larger vehicles. Highway 6 (Silver Street) runs right through the center of town, and you'll find the campgrounds either directly off this main drag or just a few blocks away on residential streets. The area's flat topography means no steep grades or tight mountain curves.

Overnight parking options are limited outside of the campgrounds. There's no Walmart in Ashland, and the small downtown area doesn't offer suitable overnight spots for RVs. Your best bet is planning to stay at one of the local campgrounds or continuing to nearby Gretna where you'll find more services along I-80.

Winter travel through this area is generally manageable, though Nebraska can get hit with sudden snowstorms. Highway 6 gets plowed regularly, but rural roads might stay snow-packed longer. Spring brings the possibility of severe weather, so keep an eye on forecasts during storm season from March through June.

Explore the Ashland Area

Hit the dump stations during midweek if possible -- weekends see more traffic from Omaha-area RVers heading out for camping trips. Most facilities here open early, around 8 AM, which gives you a good window before the day heats up in summer.

Water fill-ups are available at the same locations as dump stations, but bring your own hose since not all sites provide them. The water pressure tends to be good at the campground facilities, better than what you'd find at many gas station setups.

For fuel and propane, you'll need to head back toward I-80 or into Omaha. Ashland doesn't have truck-friendly fuel stops, and the local gas stations aren't set up for big rigs. Casey's on Silver Street can handle smaller RVs if you need snacks or basic supplies.

If you need RV repairs or parts, Lincoln is your closest bet about 25 miles northeast. There's a Camping World location there, plus several independent RV service shops. For emergency repairs, the local mechanics in town are helpful, though they're more familiar with farm equipment than RVs.

The campground dump stations here typically include rinse water, but it's smart to bring your own rubber gloves and maybe a small bottle of sanitizer. Some folks forget that Nebraska can be dusty, especially in late summer, so a quick rig rinse after dumping isn't a bad idea.
