    McGreer Camper Park

    Just an overnight stop

    Campsite on a working farm. Sites are gravel and pretty open with electricity. Has hot showers, laundry and a break/common room as well as a cabin. This spot will win NO awards for views but for amenities, easy o/off interstate, cleanliness, and owners/hosts it can’t be beat. Was a great spot to stop rest get some sleep before traveling on.

    Ogallala Tri-Trails KOA

    Perfectly Pleasant

    I stayed at a tent site and it was small and very close to other campers (it’s like a parking lot in size and closeness), but I liked feeling a part of a community. If you want some space though, it may not be for you (with tent camping that’s all they have). Big plus for me since it was so cold and windy, was that the restrooms and office were right next to me. They also offered to leave firewood that I wanted in my site, and in case of rain ended up setting it inside at the registration lobby since I came after office hours. One staff member checked to make sure I found everything okay and I appreciated that. They have a K-9 enclosure for a bit of pupper exercise, a playground, and a pool when it is in season. Not much of a view anywhere but they have cool old pioneer wagons all around so that was neat. No complaints and if it weren’t so windy I would have really enjoyed having a cozy site near possible new friends.

    Eagle Canyon Hideaway

    Average at best

    Campground is in decent shape and does offer amenities. Lots of cabins. We stayed in a Class C RV. Supposed to be very near the lake but the level was so low it was far away and inaccessible by walking. It was the reason we chose to stay here. The staff are friendly. The little store is decent. WiFi is a joke. Cell service is spotty at best. Half the camp sites are taken by locals who pay to keep their camper here all season along with all their toys and junk. Some teenagers showed up to stay in one across from us one night and sat outside blasting music till late. Next night kids running and screaming around the park till after midnight the first night. Then we are sitting outside one afternoon and the lawn mower dude runs right through our site within inches of us spewing dust all in our camper that had the windows open. We would not stay here again.

    Little Thunder Campground

    Sandy beaches, starry skies, summer heat

    We stayed one night at "Big Mac" on July 6th on our way out to Colorado in beach area 12. We were able to pull right up to the shore. There was a heat wave coming through so it was very hot. The bathrooms (In our spot they were just biffy's) are a bit of a walk from the spot we were at. 

    We had 3 setups, a roof top tent, inside the 4runner and a ground tent. All parties slept pretty happily including a 6 year old. We cooked right on the beach and had a campfire. 

    Towards midnight we saw some amazing stars that the pictures I included don't do justice. We would stay here again but I would caution anyone coming here to bring some sun screen and ensure you drink a lot of a water. There are some tent spots among the trees that provide more shade.

    If you're from a state (Like we are from MN) with lots of beaches and Lakes, it's really "just ok". Don't get me wrong, It's cool you can camp right on the beach and it's probably the most exciting place to be in Nebraska, but that's not saying much.

    Ranger Review: Xero Umara Z-Trail Sport Sandal at Little Thunder Campground

    Campground Review: A great place for beach goers and those that want to take advantage of the huuuge Lake McConaughy for boating and fishing, as most campers have something with them for their aquatic adventures. There's boat load ramps. The campgrounds are large too. 4 stars since ground plots for primitive camping didnt offer much cover. Primitive and electrical hook ups available. There's a combination restroom and shower facility and half of their 42 sites are reservable. There's also a basic jungle gym for kids in the center of the grounds. Within the State Rec Area, this is a good site for access to the lake and if you need the electrical hook ups, and probably the best bet for anyone with kids so bathrooms are close by. Of course, you are steps from beach, so if that's your thing you'd be well served here.

    Gear Review: The Xero Umara Z-Trail Sport is designed to be a lightweight performance sandal and I wholeheartedly agree. As a Dyrt Ranger, I get products to test and review in the field, and I've had these on my feet for about 3 weeks now. They're so light you'll forget you're wearing them, and the comfort is hard to ignore. I've done everything in them from hikes in the Rocky Mountains to cruising the urban concrete. Performance: The tread has serious grip. Doing descents on mountain trails in these wont keep your feet from getting dirty, but it will keep them on the ground and not above your head because you slipped. The thin sole allows for you to massage your feet on curved rocks too, so yeah - Bonus. These aren't my first choice running shoes, but barefoot-style runners have totally found their holy grail. I ran along the beach with them in the morning and it was awesome because it felt like I was running on the sand but I knew I was getting better support at the same time.
    Fit: I highly recommend using the size guide online. If you're going to be really active (runners and hikers), your feet will swell slightly so give yourself some room to play with. The straps against my skin were great (probably because they use a process where there's no edge seams rubbing against you), easy to adjust, and there's a flexible loop to put any excess strap through so you're not tripping over yourself. Clever design too because your foot sits in a slight footbed well, rather than on top of a total flat piece of material, so your foot is well 'cushioned'. Verdict: Great sandal for around camp and on the trails. I've hesitated about taking a second pair of shoes for use around campgrounds because of the weight it would add to my pack, but not only are these roll-able so it makes packing easy (or lash them to your pack with a caribiner) but now, my second-pair shoes are so light, why wouldn't I? The grip means foraging for firewood or exploring around camp are no concern. My belongings seem to be just as accident prone as myself, and so far they're up to the task. The value with the Xero Umara Z-trail Sport is totally there. Check out the sandals here. Men's and Women's sizes available. https://xeroshoes.com/shop/ready-to-wear-barefoot-sandals/ztrail-men/

    Little Thunder Campground

    White Sandy Beaches

    The campground is open all year, but the restroom isn't. The sites are not level but definitely doable. Not a lot of shade in the center of the loop. Most of the Lakefront sites do. There is a great playground. Showers are by token. Beautiful white sandy beaches close by. In Lake McConaughy RA you can camp anywhere within the state park for $12, it doesn't have to be an actual site!  So lots of people camped on the beach along the water. Probably very quiet and pleasant and budget friendly.

    Ogallala Tri-Trails KOA

    Nice clean campground in town

    The first thing to note is that there are two KOAs in Ogallala: one is right on the highway next to a truck stop, and then this one is about a mile off the highway, behind the truck stops. I did drive by the other one, which wasn't as nice.

    The park manager was a really sweet guy and very helpful. The park is clean, as are the restrooms and showers. There is a dog park on-site, but the park is large enough that it made for a good stroll with my pup. I would stay here again.

    Ogallala Tri-Trails KOA

    Great stopover overnight stop

    This was a great overnight stopover. Very nicely maintained campground. The bathrooms were very clean, nicely designed with a modern look. Tiny off leash K9 park for dogs. Snug campground surrounded by corn fields. The hum of the highway can be heard but isn’t bad at all. We would definitely stay here again. Hosts were very kind. We didn’t love that we were placed super close to others, nor did we live that the one tent campers were right next to us facing our sitting area when there were so many open spaces with better privacy with same site-types, and we arrived late enough in the day that choice offerings to others would not have mattered…but, KOA does charge an upcharge for site selection so perhaps the snug assignments are by design? First KOA experience. Overall we were pleased.


Guide to Lewellen

Cabin accommodations near Lewellen, Nebraska provide practical options in a region where summer temperatures often exceed 90°F and winter lows frequently drop below freezing. The cabins are primarily concentrated within a 30-mile radius of Lewellen, situated near Lake McConaughy, Nebraska's largest reservoir with 76 miles of shoreline. Most cabin rentals in this area serve as convenient bases for accessing lake activities while providing protection from the region's unpredictable weather patterns.

What to do

Beach activities at Lake McConaughy: Little Thunder Campground offers cabin accommodations with direct access to Lake McConaughy's sandy beaches. "Beautiful white sandy beaches close by. In Lake McConaughy RA you can camp anywhere within the state park for $12, it doesn't have to be an actual site! So lots of people camped on the beach along the water," notes Nancy C.

Stargazing opportunities: The minimal light pollution around cabins near Lewellen creates excellent stargazing conditions. "Towards midnight we saw some amazing stars that the pictures I included don't do justice," reports Connor M. about his stay at Little Thunder Campground.

Local farm experiences: Some cabin rentals in the region are situated on working farms. "Camper Park is just off the interstate and was a great place to stay for a night when I was on a road trip. The owner is wonderful. She even gave me some eggs for my breakfast and cucumbers as a snack for the road," shares LaDonna T. about McGreer Camper Park.

What campers like

Convenient interstate access: Cabins at McGreer Camper Park provide easy highway access for travelers. "We stopped for an overnight while traveling to Wyoming. The host was quite nice, and the price was about half of what we could've paid at the KOA nearby," explains Robin B.

Clean facilities: Cabin guests appreciate well-maintained bathroom facilities. "Very nicely maintained campground. The bathrooms were very clean, nicely designed with a modern look," notes Amy E. about her stay at Ogallala Tri-Trails KOA.

Quiet surroundings: Despite proximity to highways, many cabin locations offer peaceful environments. "Great little place for an overnight stop. Super friendly staff and good amenities. Not far from I-80 but just enough that it is very peaceful and quiet," Kelly B. states about Ogallala Tri-Trails KOA.

What you should know

Variable cabin amenities: Cabin offerings range from basic to more equipped options. "Campsite on a working farm. Sites are gravel and pretty open with electricity. Has hot showers, laundry and a break/common room as well as a cabin," David P. explains about his experience at McGreer Camper Park.

Seasonal operation: Not all cabin rentals operate year-round. "The campground is open all year, but the restroom isn't. The sites are not level but definitely doable," Nancy C. mentions about Lone Eagle Canyon Campground.

Insect considerations: Some cabin areas experience significant insect activity. "Though we didn't see many cows, the flies definitely know they are there! Oh my! We jokingly said 'they're raising flies!!!' And they were BITING flies," warns Robin B. about staying at cabin accommodations in farm settings.

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Several cabin locations offer play areas for children. "Our kids were entertained by the pool, jumping pad, etc. Quiet at night. Bathrooms were clean," reports Busy C. about the family-friendly amenities at Ogallala Tri-Trails KOA.

Keycode security: Parents appreciate secure facilities at some cabin locations. "The bathroom and shower facilities were so wonderful - very clean and nice to use! We also appreciated them only being accessible by keycode," notes Kara P. about Eagle Canyon Hideaway.

Indoor lounges: Some cabin accommodations provide indoor common spaces. "Great facilities. Use of indoor lounge area, with basic cooking facilities," Robert T. mentions, which can be particularly valuable with children during inclement weather.

Tips from RVers

Site spacing considerations: Campers note varied spacing between cabins and RV sites. "Typical of an rv park, the sites are close together. As is typical, your entry to your camper is on the hookup side of your neighbor. Not that appealing," Doug W. shares about the layout at Admirals Cove.

Limited shade options: Many cabin areas lack significant tree cover. "Downside is the lack of shade. The friendly camp kitty greeted us when we arrived," mentions Cathy F. about her stay, suggesting visitors prepare for sun exposure with appropriate gear.

Utility verification: Always confirm which utilities are actually available. "They say full hookups, but there is no sewer. The sites are small and not well divided (basically electric boxes)," warns Joshua E., highlighting the importance of verifying amenities before booking.
