  Descent place for camping

  It’s a good place for camping not perfect. Has a descent size lake good for kayaking and fishing.

  Meh, for tent camping

  Stopped overnight in late August. Did not want to drag our gear up/down a hill to the tent campsites in the lower loop. Paid more to stay in the upper RV loop where we listened to a neighbor's generator all night. Pretty buggy. Showers/toilets okay. Note there are at least 2 railroads running nearby in the wee hours of the morning. Also, this is on the flight path for jets leaving (I assume) the Omaha airport. Not a restful night--won't be back.

  Amazing!!

  We camp all the time at different locations, and I 100% recommend this campground! The hosts are so polite and helpful and they keep the place immaculate. Even the pit toilets were spotless and didn’t smell. The hosts went around several times a day collecting trash and even mopping the pit bathrooms. Camping here also gives you access to the playground and nature trails into some beautiful countryside. The only downside is bring several bottles of bugspray, the mosquitos are terrible!

  Perfect

  Tented camped in late October, the weekend before closing.  I was only tent camper in the electric only sites.  If there was a tent only location, I didn't see it.  Those in campers that need water and electricity are regulated to gravel 'parking lot' sites.

  Beautiful park with playgrounds, swim beach, fisbee golf, paved trail, many fishing bars, and more.  

  Electric only sites are small and spaced out well.  Most have level drive perfect for sm camper or suv camping. Grass has slope, but I think you can find a good enough place for tent, I did.  Bathroom clean enough, I didn't use showers. I enjoyed the privacy of lake-front site J.

  Secluded and well-kept

  This is my favorite place to tent camp! Nice bathhouse, and even the pit toilet is clean and unoffensive. Tent sites are spacious and most are separated by lots of trees so there's plenty of shade, privacy, and wildlife. Firewood is available and hiking trails are nearby. Unfortunately, I have to find a new favorite spot because I can no longer lug my gear up and down the hill between my car and my tent.

  Nice

  We tent camped in the modern loop. Bathroom was clean, lit, and stocked - even had hand sanitizer! RV loops had flush toilets and showers, but we didn’t stay long enough to make the trek worth it. The walk down to the tent sites was annoying at worst, but plenty doable. Campsites were level enough, and there were a few sites with pads. Lots of ticks to look out for. There’s an airfield nearby so plane noise was regular but not frequent. Wifi didn’t quite reach the tent campsites; nor did Verizon service, but T-Mobile was good. All around a fine campground.

  Park is nice energy is not

  We planned on staying there a couple nights but after pulling through the RV and getting ready to hook up we decided to leave. The energy there was so off and it did not feel safe. I don't know what it was but definitely won't be back there.

  Nice trails

  Was pleasantly surprised with how much space there was at this campground. There were plenty of pit toilets around and they were very clean. The grounds offer plenty of mowed trails to walk about which we enjoyed a lot with our dogs over the weekend.

  I was going to stay there but I lost my phone in the porta potty and had to move on. But I will try to make there on my way to my next project.

  Great campground

  The people who run this campground are really nice! There are really none camping and only 10 dollars a night with electricity for a tent site. Showers and large campsites.

  Childhood memories

  It’s been a few years since I’ve stayed here but I have a million memories of this place. Stalked by a mountain lion chased people out of the campground. Spent easily 100 nights here. Campground has recently been upgraded and heading back soon.

  Good sleep.

  $20 in an envelope on arrival-dump station by where you check in. A brave soul came from somewhere in the drizzle to tell us that for a single night (or perhaps in the early season?) we only need pay this $20 and not $5 more per car which another sign indicates. 6 pull-thru sites, not sure how many back-in sites (located further in around a lake). Pull-thru sites were shared electric (only), with pit toilets nearby. It was raining steadily as we arrived, so we weren't dainty about leveling-possibly the gravel was perfect but our power cord dictated our placement. We awoke to tremendously inviting mowed hilly prairie trails.

  Quite a night!

  Stayed here for one night on a cross country trip the Monday before Labor Day. RV sites were fairly full already. We arrived early afternoon and opted to cook dinner at our tent site before setting up camp for the night. Good idea since the nearest day-use picnic shelter was occupied by a rather loud drunk couple who kept shouting at us they were leaving soon—they did leave once but only to buy more liquor! We packed it in and found a more secluded site. A huge storm rolled through the area and we ended up sleeping in our van. Really appreciated the clean shower house (single occupancy/locking) with plenty of hot water!   Would like to come back and spend more time.

  There are better places

  Sites are very cramped. Staff less than friendly. Lake is nice, but shore needs maintenance and to have trees and brush cut back. Shower house is nice and clean. Does have full hookup.

  Great Campground Close to Home

  One of our favorite places to camp when we don't want to go too far from home. We've RV camped there several times and I plan on doing some tent camping there as well. Nice little hiking trails and a fun Geocache find (if you're into that sort of thing). Great prices!

  Great place!

  We stayed here just one night but it was exactly what we need. We were driving east out of central Colorado and wanted to get past Omaha to avoid traveling thru at rush hour. This is about 15 minutes east and just a couple minutes off of I80. Super quiet, nice spacious sites, and very clean.

  Nice City Park

  Spent the weekend using one of the RV sites on the property. There were 30 AMP electric hookups at the sites. The sites were very spacious and allowed plenty of room. There was a water fill station and a dump station near the entrance to the park. You paid $15 per night for the site and used a drop box to pay. There was no way to tell if there were sites available until you got back to were they were, but you had an hour after arrival to drop your paperwork back off at the drop box. We did a little park exploring around the lake and enjoyed seeing some wildlife. It was cold when we were there so we didn't get a chance to check out everything the park has to offer in warmer months, but we had a great time and look forward to being able to go back out soon.

  Spacious, green, quiet. Just not level

  This was a restful stop. Sites had plenty of space between and it was very quiet. There’s a nice long sidewalk for an evening stroll. The lake was drained but the views were still nice. For $25, you can’t beat that!

  Plan on using your leveling blocks. The wifi is just there to tease you—no internet.
