    Lewellen, Nebraska

    12 RV spots, 30' x 70' pull through, with full hook ups and shade trees in an open hay field. Each space has a choice of 50AMP, 30 AMP, or 20AMP to plug into so no adapters are needed. Water faucets are shared by 2 sites and T’s are provided for simultaneous use. There are also picnic tables that people just move around so feel free to grab one.

    The campground is mowed about every 10 days. Pets welcome and need to be on a leash if outside and cleaned up after.

    We now have 1 working restroom and shower! Laundry is next! 🤗

    Call Luke for the access code to the shower trailer.

    If you call and he doesn't answer make sure to leave him a message or text and he will call you back asap.

    The Cafe no longer takes reservations or payments for the RV Park because they are owned by different individuals now but the new owners of both are very friendly with each other and the Cafe has really good food, essentials, liquor and gasoline, groceries, etc.

    You can call the number 970-978-8186 with questions. To register a site, book online and then pay online with a card or you can drop cash/check in the safe by the American flag. You must call 970-978-8186 to see which spaces are available and get the code to use the shower/restroom/laundry

    The highway traffic dies down to nothing at night but the train still goes by frequently. At the campground there are lots of various birds to watch and rabbits as well. Deer can be seen usually in the early morning or at twilight as well as wild turkeys, pheasants and migrating water fowl. Families can take a short walk to the convenience store for ice cream or something to drink. The store has drinks, essentials, alcohol and a cafe with good food.

    If you get a chance to eat at the Tiger's Den Senior Center while you are here, please do! It is on the west side of town in the old 1 story high school. It is a non profit that is run by Garnet.

    There is so much to do in this Area and so much history!

    -Lewellen has an outdoor public pool that is free to use from 11:00am - 4:00pm

    -Lake McConaughy is only 12 miles away and has white sand beaches all around. It can get pretty packed and crazy but its also a lot of fun. We like to stay here to get away from the crowds but still enjoy the lake.

    - The town of Lewellen has a lot of history as well and:

    • 3 churches; Lutheran, Methodist and Wesleyan.
    • The Tiger's Den - great food & price.
    • Most Unlikely Place has art food & coffee

    -Ash Hollow is where Pioneers would stay the night when on the Oregon Trail and is 2 mikes south of us. They have a museum and activities all summer.

    - Windlass Hill where they would lock out the wagon's wheels and slide it down the hill leaving deep ruts in the mud that are still visible today.

    • This is also the area where the Mormons split from everyone else deciding not to cross the river.

    -Boot Hill is a famous name for cemeteries in the west. Many towns called their cemetery Boot Hill because it is where gunfighters who died with their boots on were buried. Boot hill cemetery is nearby.

    -The battle of Blue Water/Battle of Ash Hollow. Sioux tribe members come here annually to commemorate the Battle of Ash Hollow.

    -The Sand Hill Crane, Blue Crane Heron and many other birds migrate through this area every spring and if you are a bird watcher you will see many birds here that are not commonly seen elsewhere. Sometimes even a pelican!

    -The Garden County Fair is held here in Lewellen; the first weekend of August and everyone shows up for it, you should too!

    -Hunting in this area is excellent year round for white tail deer, mule deer, goose, duck, etc, a little north of us you can find antelope and elk.

    -Fishing as well. Lake McConaughy is one of Nebraska’s largest lakes and many record setting fish have been caught in the area, the North Platte River is a block away from the RV park as well. There are a lot of Walleye and catfish, with the walleye circuit here starting as early as March.

    The neighboring town of Osh Kosh has a coffee shop where the local owners have 100% Kona coffee beans and Kona blends. They grow in Hawaii and roast in NE. Mark Ferrari Coffee just 2 blocks off the highway and Main Street.

    Ogallala has several cowboy related things to see and is full of history, including a cowboy museum.

    We are close to everything yet far enough out to avoid the crowds.

        Great Campsite

        As one of the other reviews says - not the most picturesque location, being right by the interstate, but the owner was super nice and helpful. Great facilities. Use of indoor lounge area, with basic cooking facilities. Discount for cash. Highly recommended.

        Nice end to a long day

        Had a full hookup space. She gave a discount for cash. Bathhouse was a little rough. Not much privacy. This is a working farm. Right off I-80.

        Just an overnight stop

        Campsite on a working farm. Sites are gravel and pretty open with electricity. Has hot showers, laundry and a break/common room as well as a cabin. This spot will win NO awards for views but for amenities, easy o/off interstate, cleanliness, and owners/hosts it can’t be beat. Was a great spot to stop rest get some sleep before traveling on.

        Good site for a short overnight

        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. The friendly camp kitty greeted us when we arrived.

        Windy Stop, Easy highway access

        Friendly owner talked to on the phone. Prices were almost double what is advertised on their website. It’s just a parking lot essentially off the highway exit.

        No tents

        We pulled in and asked the man in the golf car for a spot. He informed us “No Tents” He failed to mention we could tent camp in the city park across the creek. Thanks Buddy! In the Pony Express Park across the bridge you can camp in a RV or Tent for free.Just leave it cleaner than you found it.

        We needed a stop for overnight and this was perfect. The owners were very nice and the place is very clean. We used full hookups and it was perfect for what we needed. It is close to I-80 for easy access.

        Safe stop, friendly people.

        So this isn’t much more than a place to sleep, but it works while passing through a lot of nothingness on the interstate. On a working farm, with incredibly friendly owners. Easy to pay with Venmo and others, good service on phones and a safe place with other travelers. Some road noise from the interstate but it wasn’t too bad

        Easy Peasy-right off the highway and quiet

        We stayed at McGreer Campground for a quick overnight. It was surprisingly quiet even though it was right off the highway. My daughter and I took the dog for a walk at 10 pm when we got there. Pleasant. Nita was super nice and responsive. She even waited on the phone while we picked a site, upon her recommendations.

        Camping on a working farm

        Camper Park is just off the interstate and was a great place to stay for a night when I was on a road trip. The lounge area, laundry room and bathroom are kept clean. The owner is wonderful. She even gave me some eggs for my breakfast and cucumbers as a snack for the road.

        Great location

        Found a very secluded place right in the lake. Close to town if you need anything. The lake is huge and makes for a great place to paddle board. We had such a good time and experienced great help from the park rangers.
