    Amazing stay!

    Had a great night here, the area is beautiful. Had to stop to admire the corn fields in the sunrise on the way out. Owner is lovely and kind. Electrical amenities are prime for anyone with an RV, but as a tent camper, I enjoyed our stay!

    Decent Place that needs Updating

    We stayed here for a mountain bike race weekend. Nighttime is great for stargazing and they have pretty stellar sunrises. We enjoyed the archery range and took plenty of walks. The shower facilities need a lot of updating and the RV spots are pretty dated with narrow roads. We were glad it wasn’t a weekend with a full campground and we think it would be pretty hectic during their peak season.

    Perfect for a traveling camper

    We stayed the first week in October. We were the only campers in the campground. We found 30 and 50 amp power pedestals. We stayed beside a pavilion with a water hydrant. The pavilion has several picnic tables and 20 amp outlets. It's in a treed area with a nice playground. The whole area is very flat. Leveling was a breeze. The entrance was a little bit confusing. There is a pay box at the edge of the parking box. The bathrooms were locked, but being self contained, we wouldn't have used them. I'm sure we will be staying here again.

    Noisy and insane bugs

    We are avid campers, we are no strangers to all the things that come with camping including bugs. That said, the amount of mosquitoes here made any amount of time outside unbearable.

    There was a lot of traffic through the campsite, not even people stopping to camp but literally just driving through, music blaring at 11pm.

    And the GPS coordinates were wrong. They are closer to 40.63093° N, 96.57335° W

    Good Place

    Good for families or a solo cowboy. Well maintained, water is a available, and clean bathrooms that smell good. Nice picnic areas. Primitive tent sites and RV sites with electrical hookups. First come, first serve.

    Nice Park

    I'm not a glamper, thus I don't expect much, but Lone Star is a really nice place to take a family.  A cowboy would like it too.  Good facilities, swimming, and a nice lake to fish.

    For The Outdoorsman

    Only two small sites and one appears to hamve sewage. There's a bathroom available. Best suited for an outdoorsman that's hunting or fishing.

    Great location

    Camped here over the Fourth of July weekend and was surprised that it was only about 3/4 of the way full. Quite a bit of day use Traffic with people kayaking and fishing, but remained peaceful and relaxing place.

    Safe and perfect for travelers using 80

    About 3 turns off the highway via dirt road. Very pretty, clean toilets, potable water, has picnic tables and grills. Definitely staying again on my way back east

    Second Year Camping Here

    Camped here previous year, and it was nice to come back to. Bathroom and lots of spots to set up. Also looks like it might be getting an update with the pavilion

    Free camping right off the expressway

    Great little spot right off the expressway.  Seems to be used mostly for RV's but has space for tents.  Tent spaces are not marked but there are fire pits to give you a general idea of where to camp.  Also, looks like they are constructing a picnic/gazebo area.

    Great little out of the way spot

    There are truly electrical hookups just about everywhere and there are no marked sites that I could find. We just pulled off the road to an electrical station and plugged in. Sadly, the 30A plug I plugged into kept tripping the breaker, but I always have a backup 20-30A converter, I just don't get to use my AC (cool night, didn't matter). It would be great if there was some brochure or site map at the location so you didn't feel like your were gonna ruin their well maintained lawn.

    Beautiful spot

    We spent Memorial weekend here in 2022. We had to park in a designated parking spot and walk in to set our tent. The site was shady and came with a picnic table, fire ring and We were right on the shores of the lake. It was a beautiful and very relaxing to hear the waves, although the wind coming across the lake was mighty fierce and destroyed the canopy that we had over the picnic table. And the beating of the tent all night long was a little hard to get some decent sleep. But the area was nice and close to the restrooms and spacious campsites

    Expensive and Dirty Bathrooms

    Nebraska campgrounds are never that stellar in my opinion often right by the freeway, but this one was the worst. The location is beautiful but the restrooms were the worst I’ve ever seen. It costs nearly as much as a site in a national park with the out-of-state permit, and music was played at all hours by people without any recourse. The cherry on top was our vehicle being pelted with rocks when the person next to us started mowing at 7am.

    Great quick overnight spot

    Just a short drive down dirt roads off highway. Easy to find following diirections on Maps app. We were the second campers til another rv showed up during the night. RVs camp in gravel parking lot where toilets are. Unable to review toilets as we didn't use them. Large grassy area with trees and a couple teeter-totters, covered picnic area with electrical outlets, bbq grill and campfire grill. There's a floating dock with picnic table, perfect for enjoying a morning cup of coffee. A great quick overnight spot overall.

    Interesting Night

    Pulled in around midnight. We were under the impression that there was a gravel or dirt road that goes around the water to get to the designated tent spots. I didn’t find out until the next morning there was not and couldn’t explore upon arrival as there was a camper parked where I believed the road began. With no other way around, we parked the car in the lot and set up a tent on the first grassy area we could see. Once I got out of the car, there was constant barking that echoed around the area from around 12:15am throughout the night and next morning. The person with the camper had their dogs chained up outside all night and they would not stop barking. We were tired from driving all day and found a flat spot in the grass and set up as we couldn’t keep our eyes open to keep driving to another spot. The fun doesn’t stop there!

    As if the constant barking wasn’t enough, there were coyotes yipping all night too. It sounded like a lot of them and it sounded like they were getting closer and closer. That mixed in with the ‘mooo-ing’ of cows all night as they were right across the road. The person with the camper also had their loud generator running all night. Nothing like some

    All in all, it was not a good night of rest with all of the noise although it was nice to wake up there near the water. Could obviously do without all the barking and generator sounds but hey- that’s life right?

    Pricey for out of staters

    I understand wanting to keep state parks available for those that live in the state, but charging out of state people double for a daily pass seems a little unfriendly. $12 daily fee + $30 electric site = $42 for a state park. The park itself was very peaceful and had a similar number of reserved and drive up sites. The drive up sites has nice mature shade trees and were spaced for privacy, which we appreciated. The bathrooms were clean and well maintained. They had shower rooms, but bring your quarters if you like being in there for very long. The electrical sites are paved.
