Blue Heron Campground outside Gothenburg provides upscale glamping accommodations with easy interstate access. Canvas cabins and safari-style glamping options include comfortable bedding, private outdoor spaces, and electrical outlets. Full hookups, on-site showers, and clean facilities enhance the glamping experience in a peaceful setting. "What a neat little place right off 80. Well shaded. Everything is dirt but it's really nice here," notes a recent visitor. The grounds feature mature trees providing natural shade throughout the property, while the nearby nature preserve creates opportunities for wildlife viewing and photography.

Several miles west, I-80 Lakeside Campground offers waterfront glamping experiences on a private lake where guests can enjoy catch-and-release fishing, swimming, and boat rentals. Premium canvas accommodations and glamping pods are situated between the playground and off-leash dog area, making it ideal for families. The campground provides fire rings at each site, picnic tables, and access to clean shower facilities. A guest remarked, "We were nestled between the lake, the playground and the dog off-leash area. Our girls were able to go back and forth independently, as we could see them from our campsite." The small on-site store stocks camping essentials and firewood, while recreational options include kayak rentals, paddleboats, rowboats, horseshoes, and volleyball.

    I-80 Lakeside Campground

    Great little retreat

    Very nice park just off I-80. There's a nice little lake that you can swim and fish (catch and release only), or rent a kayak or little boat. Full hookups available, with many pull through spots as well. Each spot has a fire pit and picnic table. In the middle of the grounds is a children's playground and 2 small fenced dog runs. Nice bathroom and shower facilities, and a nice store for many of your needs. And if you need more, there's 2 truck stops (travel plazas) across the interstate. Maybe the only drawback would be interstate noise. I highly recommend.

    Nice stay

    A nice campground located on a beautiful lake. Several first come first serve sites that were wooded. A welcome find on a Saturday night without reservation. Nice bathrooms and showers, fire pit and picnic table. Conveniently located not far off I 80. Dump station and clean water are just before getting into the park on the left side. A well managed and maintained park.

    I-80 Lakeside Campground

    Lakeside campground off I-80

    Nestled off I-80 in Nebraska off the 179 exit to North Platte you will find a decent campground. This campground has 89 Rv sites along with multiple tent sites which have little yellow fish signs to mark them. The Rv sites are gravel, level, have picnic benches and a fire ring. There is a small fishing/swimming lake that is catch and release only. Some fish you might catch are Crappie, Bass, Catfish, Walleye and others. They have a neat incentive where if you catch a tagged fish you win a boat rental. The boat rentals available are kayaks,paddle oats, and rowboats for rent at reasonable prices at the office. There is also a small 2 unenclosed dog walk, a playground, and a walking trail. Also available are horse shoes and volleyball. The restrooms are fairly clean. The showers in the women’s are being redone and are looking nice. There is a laundry facility on site. The office/store has camping essentials and firewood for purchase. The owners took possession and reopened in May of 2016. This campground is in short walking distance from the platte River-across the street. All and all it is a convenient and decent place to stop along I-80 as you are traveling.

    Elwood Resort and Campground

    Quiet and Convenient

    This friendly campground sits on The reservoir, and is about a 5 minute drive to Johnson Lake. We payed for a full access site, and had no leveling issues at all. Most sites have fire pits, and tables. We see other campers with pets, so we assume they are allowed. They sell bait for local fishing that is a 2 minute walk on a well mowed trail away. Our kids enjoyed the quiet and loved being turned loose to enjoy the surroundings.

    Beautiful sites next to lake

    One of my favorite campgrounds by far. There were plenty of sites during my stay in October, and the site I stayed at was right next to the lake. In the morning, the trees were beautifully lined along the campsites. At night, it’s a little windy there but tolerable with the RTT I was staying in. Campground is clean with electric hookups, tables, and fire pits.

    Very Happy

    What a neat little place right off 80. Clean bathrooms. Laundry. A dried up creak right alongside the campground. Perfect for walking your dog. Well shaded. Everything is dirt but not it’s really nice here. I rolled in pretty late and the person working here drove me to my site and held the flashlight to help me set up. Very nice man. Definitely coming back

    I-80 Lakeside Campground

    Good only for overnight stopover

    The interstate noise is loud even though staff assigned us not directly facing I 80. Staff friendly. As people started to show up, staff kept a space between us. Showers and bathroom clean. Only negative is interstate noise
