Norfolk sits where US Highway 81 and US Highway 275 meet, about 110 miles northwest of Omaha. Coming from the south on US-81, you'll roll right into town on 13th Street. From the west on US-275, you'll enter on Norfolk Avenue. Both routes are RV-friendly -- no weight restrictions or clearance issues.
The nearest Interstate access is I-80 about 90 miles south near Columbus, but most RVers use the US highway network through here. If you're heading to Lewis and Clark Lake or the Niobrara Valley, Norfolk makes a logical fuel and dump stop.
Overnight parking options are limited. The Walmart on South 13th Street has historically allowed RV parking, but always check current policy at customer service. The city park offers camping if you need to stop for the night. Winter travel note: US-81 can get dicey during blizzards, and the state's pretty quick to close roads when conditions warrant.
