We are so glad you are considering spending time in the great outdoors of central Nebraska with us.
At Blue Heron, you will find many comforting amenities accompanied by gorgeous scenery and plenty to do. Please let us know if there is anything you need regarding your stay!
The summer of 2021, we were able to snatch on to this little piece of Heaven right here in Central Nebraska. With the quaint town of Gothenburg nearby, the scenery, and the mission to embrace the outdoors, we couldn't pass up making this place a part of our family. We promise to keep the grounds up to par, and the amenities consistent, because we value our campers and their safety and security.

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 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.
Guide
We love that lots of small towns in this area offer camping at ball fields, etc. There are bathrooms and showers! The hot water in ladies does work, just adjust NOT to hottest setting. Only ones camping. Trains were close and often, but you somehow get used to it.
Traveler
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.
TravelerThe 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
ScoutArrived 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.
Scout
Just spent the night, but it was a great stop. Free laundry, plenty of room and great service.
RangerThe 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.
GuideThere 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
TravelerCute 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.
Scout
It is more of a fishing area for the locals than anything but it is open and you can camp. There are no marked sites. A local told me when they come here they just park in the grass anywhere and pay the fee. There is a vault toilet and "modern restrooms" (thr vault toilet is cleaner) but no showers as The Dyrt describes. There is a water sticker at the brick building on your left as you enter. You'll get a little interstate noise and distant train horns, but nothing that earplugs cannot fix. Nice place to pull off and sleep for the nights without utilities.
RangerElectric hookup only and is located on the Northside called Kansas Point Campground -Take road to the right before main entrance around to North side of Lake. Primitive camping located at main camp area.

Bathrooms and play for the kids. There are lots of picnic tables. Well maintained. Donation Box

My dog and I were the only ones there on a quiet Monday night.
GuideI 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.
Guide
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.
Traveler
It's a small park with a pond that you can fish at. We were the only campers in for the day and honestly probably wouldn't be great for tents. There are 3 pull outs that you can put in an RV or camper but not much else to this place.
Guide
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.
Legend
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.
Scout
Stayed there for 3 days and staff was very courteous. I had a pull through spot that had plenty of shade. The store had your basic needs. I would definitely return again. Filling your propane thanks on your way out is so convenient.
Scout
The grounds host was very helpful getting me to my spot. The restrooms and showers were emaculate.
TravelerClean 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.
TravelerLittle ways off I 80, but worth the trip. Very well maintained , nice bathrooms and showers. A lot of space between sites, both pull thrus and back ins.
ScoutWhat 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
Guide
There’s about 11 or 12 campsites here there’s a dump station, water available and electric it’s free they suggest a donation It is real sheltered with all the big trees 
ScoutBeautiful 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.
Scout
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.
