  Lake Maloney State Recreation Area

  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.

  Lovely

  Peaceful spot by a lake all to ourselves. After dark highway traffic subsided and we were able to sleep soundly. There is some t mobile reception.

  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.

  Lafayette Park Campground

  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.

  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.

  Buffalo Bill Campground

  Nice small campground next Buffalo Bill Ranch Historic Site. 50/30 amp available. Water is confusing. Water at site 6 and 20. Also water available at tent site at end of campground. Water spigot is located at the back of both sites and tent site so confused how everyone else can get water. Just plan ahead. Only one other camper was here so we parked in site 6. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️. Verizon was 5G.

  Sutherland State Rec Area

  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

  Johnson Lake State Recreation Area

  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.

  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

  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.

  Very clean and Quiet little Park

  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.

  1 night stay

  Very peaceful location and almost all “primitive” camping spots are right along the water. Did see about 5 trailers there as well and saw two spots with electricity.

  The “primitive” spots were well maintained and a lot of them had fire pits and tables as well as left over firewood. They were all well shaded as well.

  There are two outhouse style bathrooms, a swing set, merry-go-round and monkey bars.

  Great place for young kiddos.

  Signs posted stated free camping for up to 14 days.

  We stayed at the last spot at the end of the road and didn’t have a single neighbor so it was nice and secluded.

  There is an integrity stand where you can buy bundles of wood for $5.
