GuideDrove by scouting things out but the tv park was barricaded and didn’t appear to have been occupied for some time…. Motel was open though.
GuideI didn’t stay here but did scout it out. Small park by the NishnaBotna river. I did see a camper there with his dog but website specifically says no pets.
GuideFirst and foremost- I called the camp host and he actually answered and was super nice (called the number from the camps website) It had many open spots for a Friday evening. The spots for tent/van was $15. The bathroom/showers were super clean. The established trees all over was fantastic. The directions on this app take you to the first entrance which is not where the camping is, but follow the huge arrow and you’ll find it no problem. I walked around the cute little town on Main Street and loved it though everything was closed at 1900.
ScoutI stayed one night on my way to Colorado. For only $10 dollars this campground has a lot to provided including free showers. First come first serve. Highly recommend.
ScoutThere are six paved spots first come first serve with electric and water and a dump station close by. There's also a nice hot shower and clean restroom. In addition there's a golf course and beautiful swimming pool on the expansive property. It's well worth a night or two here. I paid $20 bucks for the night. They also have a weekly rate of $140.
ScoutWhat a great rural campground The owner was fantastic to deal with. Very quiet and peaceful, a true little gem.
LegendOur confirmation email included precise directions from I-29, with an interstate sign confirming the turn for Lake Manawa State Park, and provided the gate code for access. We proceeded to back-in site 28 with full hookups; the back-in was easy, and the site was level, with utilities located toward the rear and a slight uphill grade to the sewer connection. The campground (CG) features well-spaced, spacious sites with no trees nearby great for satellite access. We had a bit of a water view through the trees, and connectivity was decent with 2 bars on Verizon and 3 on T-Mobile; water pressure was around 40 psi. We arrived on a Thursday for a four-night stay, and the CG filled up over the weekend. About 150 yards from our site was the popular Dreamland playground, which draws families with young kids to that side of the CG next time, we'd choose a site farther from the playground for more quiet.
GuideEssentially a parking lot with electric and water hookups, but only 9 minutes from downtown Omaha. Check-in at security window at Horseshoe. $40 weekday rate and $50 weekend rate. There’s a building that has bathrooms, showers and laundry.
TravelerDidn’t have any issue finding a spot around 8pm in early May, and it was made way with a spot to register and deposit money on your own. Bathrooms were okay. Very pretty view of the water and the stars were bright!
