    I-80 Lakeside Campground, formerly known as Lakeside Camping, reopened under new owners in May 2016. Seated on a clean private lake, our campground features 126 sites, many with full water, sewer, and electric (30 or 50 amp), as well as a community shower house, laundry facilities, and dump station. Several sites are pull-through and can accommodate any size RV. We also have areas set aside for primitive and tent camping. A small convenience store is located on-site, and includes items such as snacks, drinks, fishing supplies, camping items, ice, and a limited supply of grocery items. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer WiFi or cable.

    In addition to being an overnight campground, I-80 Lakeside is also available for day use. A $5 per person Day Use Pass allows access to the south and east beaches of the property during office hours. Activities available with a Day Use Pass include fishing (catch and release only), swimming, sand volleyball, a walking trail, picnic areas, and use of campfire pits. We also have non-motorized watercraft for rent from our store, including kayaks, paddle boats, a canoe, and rowboats. These can be rented by the 1/2 hour, hourly, or daily (during office hours). Only I-80 Lakeside watercraft is allowed on the lake.

    The well-stocked lake houses a multitude of fish. Species include Crappie, Bass, Walleye, Perch, Catfish, and others. No permit is needed. Fishing is catch and release only.

    We look forward to seeing you at I-80 Lakeside Campground!

    Nice lakeside sites but local party spot

    Pulled in around 6pm to nice quiet lakeside park/campground w/just 3 others, but since dark at least 4 non-campers have trolled the grounds and then raced down the campground roads. Also within earshot of event facility and can hear bad rock band. Probably leaving (11pm).

    Great Park-like CG

    Great little RV park in a park-like setting. Gravel roads with relatively level gravel sites. Shared services. Lots of big trees. Long pull-through site to leave the truck and TT attached. Cross the little covered bridge into Lake Helen Rec Area for a good walkabout. Visit downtown Gothenburg to see the Pony Express station. We liked it and would stay here again.

    Great Little Spot

    At first I wasn’t sure because it’s right off the road but we gave it a try and love it. There aren’t many cars that pass and we had a couple of friendly people stop by with helpful tips- like look out for rattlers this time a year. It was a perfect spot for our two- day stay.

    Confusing

    The sites are very confusing. We had to move to a different site because we could not understand how/where to park or hook up to water and electricity. There was nobody around at all; just a phone number which we called and texted and got no response back. The bathrooms, while clean, were old and a bit worn. It’s not a great campground but it’s acceptable for overnight

    Convenient, free spot! With Verizon reception .

    Arrived pretty late into the night, but it was easy to find and no one else was there. Camped by the pond in my tent. One could bring a small to medium length trailer in here with ease.

    Ok for an overnight off I-80

    The best thing about this campground is that it’s shady and a ways off of the interstate. Otherwise it’s old and tired, with small sites and odd shared hookups between spaces. (Eg. - our water hookup was Ammon a pole right next to our door and the picnic table. The bathrooms were old but clean. There was a cute covered bridge on a trail to the main park which was the best thing about it. There were only a few other campers there, but I cannot imagine what it would be like if it was full. We were there during a boil water order for the entire town, and we appreciated that they emailed us about it so we knew to bring our own water and not use the campground’s.

    Convenient and free

    There are about 10 spots around the pond. We took one of the3  pull through right next to I-80. Plenty of space, level, shade and if you just look at the lake: quit a nice view. The noise from I-80 ist always there (about 200') but it's constant and was ok for us (rather than trains every 30 minutes). There's a lot of trash but that's to be expected in a area like this. We cleand up some and it was ok for a night

    Cute camp with highway white noise

    Cute little park off the highway. 2 sites are available. I wouldn't haul a trailer into the park, but it's perfect for a small rv or tent camping. Allot of highway noise, but it's good white noise to fall asleep after you get used to it.

    Cuzn Eddyz Campground

    Easy and No Frills

    I have come to realize that my wife and I do not need much from the campground itself for an overnight stay, but….

    Cuzn Eddyz is perfect for an overnight stay. There is a gas station sitting right next to the campground so fuel and snacks are no problem.

    FHU, what else do you need?

    I do not use many, but the bathhouse was very clean and comfortable. I did not look for the laundry.

    Maybe WiFi? We ended up using our phone hotspot and had plenty of cell phone reception.

    **thanks for the reply, it was probably a lack of patience. I tried to connect my tv but it did not seem to want to. Probably my fault. You have a nice campground.

    The Wind Turbin Crews use this campground. No big deal, makes perfect sense. There were folks outside and we briefly spoke to a few. Very friendly.

    If i travel through the area again I will stay on this property if it works.

    Great place to stay

    The staff are super helpful and friendly. Unfortunately, the site we were in had no shade, but that is no reflection on the campgrounds. The sites are a little close to one another and there are travelers coming and going all hours, but overall, it was a nice park.

    Free but so many bugs!

    There were a ton of mosquitoes when we visited, so much so that we couldn’t sleep in our truck and had to set up a tent. Several cars drove by on the road, some as late as 2:30 in the morning. Also, the cows nearby were super loud. Not the best sleep but hey, it’s a free site. No amenities at all.

    Nice for a stop over

    You access the westside by entering the south camping site and following the road to you left all the way back. There are tables and rings at some sites but not all. There is a vault toilet at the end of the ring. All sites are next to the lake.

    Nice stop over spot

    I entered the south side camping which is much like other sites with close camping, there is electric and a vault toilet. If a person follows the small road at the end of the south side camping it takes you to the west side camping which is random spots along the road to camp next to the water. Some have tables and fire rings other do not. There is a vault toilet at the end of the loop.

    $30 for electric sites $7 daily vehicle fee for NE license $14 daily vehicle fee for non- NE $15 tent sites

    Lovely Area to Camp

    I stayed at the Main camp ground with a great lake view on site 76. Sites 77-86 are pull through and the rest are back in for RV. There are also tent sites near the water. There are bathrooms, showers and electric (50/30amp), there are no water hook-ups. The dump station is currently closed (April 2024) due to construction. The camp grounds are close together but they have planted bushes between them to create privacy. I cant speak on the bathroom or showers as the are closed since it is off season.

    Small RV Park Clean Sites in a grassy park with big trees and a paved trail

    Clean sites with just a few quiet RVers. Clean bathrooms. Easy dump site. Worth the few miles to drive off 1-80. Beautiful big trees throughout the RV park and along the paved, 1-mile loop trail. Online reservations. Verizon = 2 bars.

    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.

    Easy to get to, right off the highway

    Beautiful little pond for fishing if you have a kayak. The bank is surrounded by cattails with a nice ramp and only two wheelchair accessible peers to fish from.

    The highway is about a half mile away and the noise does not stop. That being said, if I’m ever back this way, I would stay here without a second thought.

    The RV spots are easy to back into and are all concreted. Very clean park! Bathrooms are OK, 2 flush toilets and a sink. Electric and water hookups, and sewer dump available as you leave the park. Not too shabby for $25. Train tracks are close by however.
