    Lake Wanahoo State Recreation Area

    Quiet and relaxed weekend

    It’s been a few years since we stayed at Lake Wanahoo, but we decided to stay there over our anniversary weekend. The place is still great, and this time of year it was very quiet and peaceful.

    I was able to fish at the lake, we used the trails for walking and biking. Being close to town allowed us to have a great anniversary dinner at a steakhouse!

    We are definitely going to be using it more!

    Well Run Campground with Exceptional Service

    We’d passed through this area a few years ago when traveling I-80 and noticed there was a campground(CG) and golf course here in Waco, NE. We added this CG to our list and finally got a chance to stay here. The CG is a little ways off I-80 and easy to get to. Check-in was quick and easy and we were led to pull through site 303 with FHUs. There are separate prices for weekdays and weekends. The utilities were at the center of the long gravel pad. Water pressure was okay at around 40 psi. We got 2 bars on Verizon. The sites here are decently spaced especially for a private CG. The CG was clean and well-maintained. If there were long-term residents, you could not tell. We were here over a weekend, so there were families and a lot of kids using the swimming pool, mini golf, and the large playground area. Each site, along with a picnic table and fire pit has a bench swing. There’s a decent-sized dog park on the south side and larger one on the north side. The CG has its own tornado siren plus an underground tornado shelter. There’s one cabin for rent. They also have a well-kept laundry room with 2 washers and 2 dryers. York has your main amenities such as Walmart. The golf course right next door is a deceptively tough 9-hole course.

    Good facilities and family friendly

    Really nice staff. Bathhouse is nice and clean. There are all sorts of games: Basketball, volleyball, miniature golf, Large Jenga, etc... Nice pool. Only issue: road noise. It's just off the expressway. It's not too bad though.

    River Land Campground

    Hidden Gem!

    Brand new campground moving up quickly. The cabins are 5 star quality and they're still building more. RV sites are spacious, concrete patios w/ picnic tables, new fire rings. Baby trees were just planted to help with some shade, but there are a few mature trees too. Along the Big Platte River & has a pond for fishing only, with sites around the pond. The shower house is brand new and beautiful & very clean inside. Great place to stay in eastern Nebraska! Columbus has activities for kids too. Water park (the Pawnee plunge) & playgrounds (Centennial Park). There's a Walmart & Menards within 10 min. And plenty of food choices too.

    Pleasantly Surprised W/ owners that really care for your stay.

    Stayed here a few years ago and was pleasantly surprised. Many kid activities with even a Saturday movie night the park put on for the kids. You will not find better service anywhere. Also, next to a golf course that you can literally walk to from your site to play if you like this sort of thing. If you run low on wood, just simply call up to the office and they will bring you more. Will be back there very soon.

    Great little place

    New owners as of Jan 2023! Super nice people! Bathrooms are in great condition, nice large area to walk your dog around to potty, very conveniently off I80 but not annoyingly loud from Highway.

    It's a BIG Parking Lot!

    It's been a couple of years, but this place is a gravel lot with w/e hookups. there is a dump station close. There were a couple of run down trailers there, but that's about it. It is a good place for an overnight or even a few nights stay. If I remember right, it was $25 a night. I am looking at going there again so I can visit my son who lives in Omaha.

    KEEP DRIVING!!!

    DONT GO HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO GET SCREAMED AT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT FOR SNEEZING!!! No joke!!! Very sweet owners, when taking your money. But when my youngest son ran a fever of 104 shortly after we got there at 8:00 p.m., and we had to take him to the ER, the owners actually came out of their house at midnight and yelled at us for "slamming our car door". I tried to apologize and explain the situation the next morning and there was no empathy what so ever! In stead, we got blamed for "making a huge mess in their public restroom". WE WERENT EVEN THERE LONG ENOUGH TO USE THEIR RESTROOM, NOR WOULD WE HAVE AS WE HAVE OUR OWN IN OUR MOTORHOME!!! Just weary travelers trying to get some rest. Not loud, obnoxious, didn't even sit at the picnic table. Didn't have time before we were run out. FOR SURE, two elderly people who SHOULD NOT be in business running a customer service establishment!!! If you want my advice, KEEP DRIVING!!!

    Diamond in the rough…

    Older park with new owners. Convenient to hwy 80, Waco Nebraska. That means some hwy noise but it’s Nebraska, it’s flat! No jake brake noise. Besides we now wear ear plugs to bed so not an issue (try it, you’ll like it.) This place has all kinds of activities for kids young and old(er). Arcade, pool ( being repaired at time of review, it’s too cool now to think of swimming), corn hole toss game, miniature golf or just rocking on one of the many swinging chairs. Our site was ample, gravel pad and grass, fire ring, table and swing. Everything worked ( other than pool) even Wi-Fi, it worked well! That’s enough to bring me back. A few more of the new owners upgrades and repairs and this place could be a five star.

    Friendly hosts, clean bathrooms

    I really enjoyed my stay at Prairie Oasis. The hosts were very helpful and friendly. The grounds were beautiful. There is a small pond on the property. Lots of nice places for go for a walk. The sites were large and easy to pull through. I had good service with Verizon and the wifi was solid. Easy access off the highway. Nice little shop with local products. The bathrooms were clean with nice hot showers.

    NO TENT CAMPING

    There is not an option for tent camping, van camping, or anything but RVs. The owner was kind, but explained that he has not allowed tent camping for two years.

    Super friendly owners

    The site is very clean and well kept up. There are things to do, like hang out by the pond, hot shoes, volleyball. The internet looks fast. Most importantly. The owners were very friendly and went beyond the extra mile.

    If it were closer to town I’d give it 5 stars

    The staff were great. Escort you to your site. Lots to do. Swimming pool was fantastic, they had a mini golf course, but it was too hot to play outside. Lots of sites have great trees. Excellent choice for camping. Nearest facilities (beer and chips…ok????) was in York approx 8 miles up the freeway.

    Great hosts and peaceful right off I80

    We pulled in after office hours and the camp host met us at the front entrance and escorted us all the way to our site. Pull through with full hooks ups.

    Prairie Oasis

    What a gem. We arrived to a wonderful welcome. Hosts told us up front they hoped the firefly show would be as wonderful as the night before. It was. Just magical. Lovely spots, shade, swings, ice cream. One of the best places we have ever stayed. Highly recommend.

    Close to interstate but no highway noise

    Close to I-80 but you can’t hear the interstate traffic. Owners are super nice and the dogs had a great time playing in the pond.

    Nice stop right along I-80

    This was our very first stop with our new RV.  The park is very well maintained, and as others mentioned, there were no long-term campers.  While it is close to the freeway, the noise never seemed to bother us.  There is a nice little pond to walk around too.

    Patti and Todd are awesome hosts.  It was near freezing when we stayed, so the free firewood helped keep us warm! Todd was even out there helping us newbies pack up our rig when it was time to go.  Will stay here again, if just for the hospitality!

    Lake Wanahoo State Recreation Area

    One of my favorites

    Great fishing and kayaking lake!  Bike path goes all the way around the lake. Sites are large and spaced out. I prefer the ones along the water but you have to book early to get one. A special permit is required to camp there. That is a bit of a bummer because you used to not need that. The town of Wahoo has a cool butcher shop, so I always plan to pick up steaks, hot dogs or other grillable items for one night's dinner.
