A frequent contributor to Omaha Magazine, Tamsen Butler originally moved to Nebraska more than two decades ago. Though it was Offutt AFB that brought her here, it was the friendly people and low cost of living that kept her here.
Tamsen is an award-winning author with a writing career that spans nearly 20 years. And though she doesn’t use her psychology degree in a professional capacity, she finds that she uses it daily in everyday interactions.
She spent years exploring everything Nebraska has to offer with two kiddos in tow, but nowadays as an empty nester, she enjoys exploring the art and culture scene with the occasional hike thrown in for good measure.
Tamsen is a big fan of the Old Market area in Downtown Omaha but is also excited when it comes to exploring smaller towns in the state. She knows Nebraska has a lot of stories to tell, and she’s happy to search them out!
As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip.

When my kids were younger, we used to go camping once a year at the same state park campground – mainly because they had cabins with air conditioning and beds, and that’s pretty much all the “roughing it” I like to do. But had I known about Kimberly Creek Retreat in Ashland, which offers family-friendly glamping in Nebraska, it would have profoundly changed our annual camping plans.
This place looks luxurious. From the glamping cabins to the modern camping domes, this place has “Nebraska glamping” written all over it.
We’re talking air conditioning and heating, private showers, coffee pot and dishes, and a private propane fire pit – all set in a beautiful nature sanctuary.
The frazzled mom that still lives in me (even though our family camping with small kids days are over) looks at Kimberly Creek Retreat and weeps with joy. “This!” she exclaims. “This is what camping is supposed to be like!”
And I agree with her, wholeheartedly.
Surprisingly, this lovely location isn’t too far from the most populated areas in the state.
Whether you want a charcuterie board with wine or foil packet meals ready for cooking inside or on the grill, you can have it delivered by pre-ordering. There’s even a Deluxe S’Mores package that looks as decadent as it does delightful.
There are plenty of trails and nature scenes to explore.
If someone were twisting my arm to go camping again, I’d be heading to Kimberly Creek Retreat without hesitation for some real Nebraska glamping.
And if you don’t think that “Nebraska” and “Glamping” go together, you’ve never talked to a frazzled mom who just wants to enjoy some luxury while she’s “roughing it” with her family. Ladies, order the s’mores and kick your feet up because we’re going glamping! For reservations and other information, visit Kimberly Creek Retreat on the web. Don’t forget to pack all your hiking essentials when you go – you’ll want to hit the trails during your stay!
