    Holiday RV Park

    Nice facility

    I just needed an overnight stop along my route home. As with most commercial RV parks, the sites are close together. There's a small fenced in dog park. The bathrooms are clean. Centrally located if you plan to visit the many things to see in North Platte. It looked like they were still working on winter damage.

    I-80 Lakeside Campground

    Small lake off Interstate

    We have stayed at this campground twice when we are traveling through. They do have boat rentals, kayaks, playground, small dog park, and a small store with few items. Overall nice- gravel pull through sites - maintained overall pretty good. Smaller sites. I might give it 3.5 stars but having the lake with rentals and a small store on site was nice— so 4 stars. Would recommend.

    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.

    Lake Maloney State Recreation Area

    Awesome campground

    Quiet and not too crowded campground with spots right on the water. We visited on a Monday night so it might pick up on the weekends. The lake is awesome and it is pet friendly. You pay at a Dropbox we believe as there were not clear instructions and no park rangers. Clean and functional bathrooms, lots of grass, trees, and of course a beautiful lake with lots of swimming area!

    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.

    Holiday RV Park

    Great stop over for us!

    Friendly staff!  We stayed in Site 84. Gravel pull through that was level.  Close, but not too close to neighbors.  Lots of grassy areas to walk the dogs with waste stations and bags.  Although we have no kids traveling with us, the playground area was in great shape and had lots to do.  Laundry room is clean as well.  Easy on/off access to highway.  No issues with ou AT&T and T-Mobile service.  Would recommend this campsite.

    Lafayette Park Campground

    I 80 stopover

    Convenient stopover driving through Nebraska. It's on the other side of town in a Park, away from the interstate. Traveling with a Labrador Retriever, the huge park was wonderful. Electric, water and a dump station met all my needs. Bathhouse needs some TLC, and was not clean. WiFi worked well! Cute little town with fastfood or other options to eat.

    Cody City Park Campground

    City park. Close to Highway so it might be a little noisey

    Most cities in Nebraska have these type of site. Grass and sand but has 30 amp electric. Has a dump station along with restrooms and showers. Good place to stay one night. Need to check out the grocery store next to the site.
