"We stopped here for an overnight stay on our way to Colorado. Owners were very friendly and the bathrooms were very clean. Downside is the lack of shade."
$15 / night
"Lovely little spot surrounding a lake. There are no designated sites. You can pretty much drive and camp wherever. There are a few picnic areas with structures."

$10 - $25 / night
"These were nice sized sites and we had a great spot a few steps from the beginning of the beach. Camp host was very personable. Bathroom could be a little cleaner but not the worst one I've ever seen."
"Well maintained, easy access to restrooms and trash. Really close between campsites, pretty loud and really crowded but as to be expected being a June weekend."
"This is the perfect place to go to stay close to our home and not a long road home. You are able to schedule time with friends and head down and save your camping spot a day or two in advance."

$45 - $90 / night

GuideNice grass to pitch your tent on right next to the lake. Not too close to neighbor sites. Quiet
RangerWe visited preseason and had our pick of the sites. Many are 90°, tight back ins. Camphost chuck was very helpful. If you need a water site, bring a splitter as the spigots are shared between 2 sites.
RangerWe were only going to stay one night at this convenient campground with full hook-ups after a visit to the first Cabela's. But in the store we learned from an employee of a side trip we could take and extended our stay another day. Beware of the sprinklers, they will definitely leave water spots. Cabela's also has a very large parking lot if you are inclined to park overnight. I do not know if Cabela's charges.
Chimney Rock is a landmark that rises high above the prairie and was a landmark for those traveling the Oregon, Mormon, and California Trail. Chimney Rock historic site is only 60 miles from the Cabela's campground. A paved trail leads to great views of the rock and opportunity for pictures. There is a museum on site that was very educational. We tend to spend more time than most, taking about 2-3 hours in the museum. It was educational to learn how much weight and what they carried in the wagons as they worked their way west. We walked the trail first (carry water) then cooled off in the museum.
Another stop near Chimney Rock is the historical markers of Courthouse and Jail Rocks. These landmarks were visible from Oregon Trail. There are no facilities nor buildings at Courthouse and Jail Rock, just a few story boards. There is about one mile of gravel to reach the viewing area.
We were very happy to have spent a day visiting these two landmarks.
GuideClean and maintained. Manager was friendly and they take you to your site. (Wish they all did) Sites are gravel but quite large. Full hookup and well placed. 2 dog parks. It’s close to the road but surprising quiet. Not anything to do in this little town. Wal-Mart is very small. We ate at an excellent restaurant that was clean and food was very good. Country Pride is the name and very close to campground. Highly recommend!!!
GuideWe stayed one night at "Big Mac" on July 6th on our way out to Colorado in beach area 12. We were able to pull right up to the shore. There was a heat wave coming through so it was very hot. The bathrooms (In our spot they were just biffy's) are a bit of a walk from the spot we were at.
We had 3 setups, a roof top tent, inside the 4runner and a ground tent. All parties slept pretty happily including a 6 year old. We cooked right on the beach and had a campfire.
Towards midnight we saw some amazing stars that the pictures I included don't do justice. We would stay here again but I would caution anyone coming here to bring some sun screen and ensure you drink a lot of a water. There are some tent spots among the trees that provide more shade.
If you're from a state (Like we are from MN) with lots of beaches and Lakes, it's really "just ok". Don't get me wrong, It's cool you can camp right on the beach and it's probably the most exciting place to be in Nebraska, but that's not saying much.
ScoutWe can’t say enough great things about Oregon Trail RV Park! While traveling through the area with our dogs, we had planned to stay at Lake McConaughy, but the campgrounds there weren’t as dog-friendly as advertised during the off-season. Thankfully, Luke, the owner of Oregon Trail RV Park, stepped in at the last minute and gave us a place to stay. This park was exactly what we needed—easy to find, impeccably maintained, and truly welcoming to both us and our pets. The RV spaces were clean and spacious, with plenty of room for our dogs to enjoy themselves. Luke’s friendly and accommodating attitude made the experience stress-free, which is priceless when you’re on the road. If you’re in the Lake McConaughy area and looking for a quiet, pet-friendly RV park with excellent service, look no further. Oregon Trail RV Park is a gem, and we’ll definitely be back!
TravelerThis is a perfect place to stop midway between the Missouri River and the Rocky Mountains. Extremely friendly staff. Not about the amenities, just terrific service in a perfect stop over spot
GuideGreat fall camping. Big sites well spaced. Our choice of shade or open sites. This time of year it’s first come, first served. We had very few neighbors.
ScoutWhen we arrived there were oil cans and trash right next to our camp site. Buckets with old oil in them also. Someone did come and pick them up during the night. Shower house was a little sketchy to say the least.
