        Quick getaway to nature

        A short drive from Omaha, two rivers offers generally clean TV and tent camping sites across multiple campgrounds. I camped right by the river. Also a short walk to the outhouse and playground. Fun and quick trip if you’re in the Omaha area. My boys (4&7) loved it.

        Lake Cunningham Campground

        Nice for Glamping

        Nice site for a tent camper passing through, beginner adventurers, glampers, or a family staycation.  The entire park is well maintained, has a large lake stocked with fish, tent sites are close together, but tolerable.  Occupancy depends on the time of year.  I was there in September and it was not crowded at all.  Tent sites are primitive.  New roads leading into the park.

        Not bad for after Labor Day Weekend.

        Campground was as I hoped. Empty except for 3 others. Oxbow lake is nice with a sandy shoreline. The campground is set in an Aspen glade. Very nice.

        So peaceful we were tempted to stay longer

        Whether you sleep in your van like we did, or you like to stay in a tree house (they appear to be building one as rental cabin) or need a tent platform, the place is huge and sprawling, with wooded sites and open lawn. Friendly and peaceful and definitely one we'll go back to.

        Great for photos, bad for camping

        The place is amazingly scenic and reasonably priced. But I've been camping in different campgrounds all over the US for the last 2 months and this is one of my top 3 for mosquitoes. Those things are relentless and not at all scared by deet. The only thing that surpassed them is the poison ivy that grows everywhere.

        The place is wide open without privacy. Well-kept, clean and friendly.

        But there's a train going right past our campsite. I had no idea trains can be this long when going through the plains with several engines front and back. If you wait for it to pass, your dinner will be cold.

        And I don't know what industry is east of here. But it's 10pm and they're still running LOUD!

        Clean and comfortable!

        Love the new East lots. Full access with concrete pad. Tons of room between spots. Mini store on the property to buy ice, firewood, and food from. Fishing, paddle board rentals, and a park are a few things to do. Awesome place!

        Amazing

        This campground is amazing! I’ve stayed at 100 plus campgrounds and I will say that this one is top 10. The park has beautiful views and the river is not far away.

        Outstanding Campground!

        This is one of the most beautiful campgrounds we have ever encountered! On a beautiful lake with many recreational possibilities - kayaking, sailing non power boating - some for rent. 10 miles of paved bike trails and ALL paved campsites level and clean! Many clean and nice bathrooms which showers and FULL hookups for almost any size RV or camper. HIGHLY recommended! Nice campsite hosts and nicely spread out campsites with fire rings and picnic tables. No wi fi but Verizon service was good.

        Nice place but not so nice staff

        Multiple ponds/lakes to fish at plus the river. Facilities are nice and the people in the little store was great and food yummy. Check in staff completely rude !!!!

        Very close to Omaha metro but super noisy!!!

        With a large amount of active train tracks, 24 hour concrete plant, airboat launch and loads of weekend warriors that travel from the city to camp for a couple of days, this place is the opposite of peaceful.  Campground has many sites available (both reservable and first-come, first-served).  Be prepared to have to pay to take showers!

        New, nice.. good experience

        A relative's driveway would've been free, but here we got a level pull-thru spot and the encouragement and advice of a kind camp host as we got our tanks washed through and drained. Slips are nicely spaced apart from each other. The area we booked is very new, and FHU.

        Nice new spot

        The sites have concrete pads with power, but no water or sewer. There is a fill station on the way in. You can pay $1 for a hot shower in the comfort station, which is very clean. The lake is right there, with a nice bike path that comes all the way around.

        Why didn’t anyone mention the trains?

        The staff was wonderful. The showers were clean. No complaints about the facility and it looked like there was a lot of activities for kiddos. But why didn’t anyone mention the trains? Good luck sleeping through the night. The train tracks were less than 100 feet from our site with train traffic all night long. And the four hour thunderstorm added to the cacophony.

        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.

        Family Fun

        This campground is situated along the Platte River and there is plenty of family fun. There’s a playground, a free swimming lake area, a swim obstacle course ($$$), fishing, bird watching, and it’s a great place to just relax and enjoy nature

        Typical Nebraska campground

        Campsites are decently spaced. Several “lakes” throughout campground. Park offers overnight stays in several decommissioned train caboose cars and there is a small camp store on site.

        Just what was needed

        Only one site available when I stopped but that's all I needed! Full of family type campers in every type of camper. Busy but not noisy and quiet by 9. Located on a body of water. Just 3 miles from the highway. I paid $18. For an off season site. Clean restrooms and level spacious sites.
