    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.

    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 !!!!

    Lake Cunningham Campground

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Lewis and Clark State Park

    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.

    Short weekend getaway

    Nice campground. Very few tent only - mostly RVs/trailers. Washrooms basic but clean. Large site under trees with mix of sun & shade. Grassy area for tent. Access to water close by. Large playground for kids. Campground host had firewood. Picnic table & firepit with grill rack in good condition. Nearby boat ramp to load kayak onto Blue Lake. Many water lilies but sheltered at one end so good for kayak. Everyone seemed friendly though some folk stayed up pretty late on Friday!

    Beautiful campsite

    Great campground for families. There is a huge playground with tons of activities for all ages, the boat is an awesome thing to see. I saw a ton of trails along the main road but we didn’t have time to check them out. This was such a fun campground to stay with our kiddos.

    Lewis and Clark State Park

    Nice evening swim after a hot day

    Vibe: Relaxed summer lake fun. 

    Cleanliness: Average 

    Facilities: Slightly dated but adequate 

    General spots: Good size, good spacing, not private. Large cottonwood trees offer good shade on lake side spots. 

    Our site: 10. Close to the swimming area. Not far from bathrooms. 

    Noise: Friendly chatter. Mostly quiet. Some music from the summer camp across the lake(see below). 

    Cell signal: Good (Verizon)

    Other: The lake isn’t huge, but the water was not murky and you could wade out pretty far and still be shallow enough to stand. A summer camp is across the lake and they played some evening music and morning music starts at 7:30.

    Nice Spot

    We only were here 1 night, a stopover. The place is clean & quiet, lots of families. 

    Only thing we had time for was swimming in the lake, which was refreshing. Maybe we return in the future.

    Goldenrod Campground

    Does the Trick

    This campground is fine, but just fine. The best thing about it is the sites are pretty large and flat. A lot of them have absolutely no shade whatsoever, so be mindful of that. I stayed here on a night where it rained maybe as much as an inch, and some campsites did flood. I stayed at site 104 and it ended up being a good choice because it was shaded and on higher ground. The amenities leave something to be desired; the dump station is hard to find, the bathrooms are in short supply, and the swimming beach is pretty gross. It’s probably the best campground option in Omaha, good for an overnight stay, but I wouldn’t necessarily make a full-blown outing out of this place.

    Not bad for a holiday weekend

    Spent the 4th of July weekend out there to get away from the city and the fireworks. Camp ground was clean. Well maintained and it was busy. Pads are paved and the power was working. Good shade.
