The highway traffic dies down to nothing at night but the train still goes by frequently. At the campground there are lots of various birds to watch and rabbits as well. Deer can be seen usually in the early morning or at twilight as well as wild turkeys, pheasants and migrating water fowl. Families can take a short walk to the convenience store for ice cream or something to drink. The store has drinks, essentials, alcohol and a cafe with good food.
If you get a chance to eat at the Tiger's Den Senior Center while you are here, please do! It is on the west side of town in the old 1 story high school. It is a non profit that is run by Garnet.
There is so much to do in this Area and so much history!
-Lewellen has an outdoor public pool that is free to use from 11:00am - 4:00pm
-Lake McConaughy is only 12 miles away and has white sand beaches all around. It can get pretty packed and crazy but its also a lot of fun. We like to stay here to get away from the crowds but still enjoy the lake.
- The town of Lewellen has a lot of history as well and:
- 3 churches; Lutheran, Methodist and Wesleyan.
- The Tiger's Den - great food & price.
- Most Unlikely Place has art food & coffee
-Ash Hollow is where Pioneers would stay the night when on the Oregon Trail and is 2 mikes south of us. They have a museum and activities all summer.
- Windlass Hill where they would lock out the wagon's wheels and slide it down the hill leaving deep ruts in the mud that are still visible today.
- This is also the area where the Mormons split from everyone else deciding not to cross the river.
-Boot Hill is a famous name for cemeteries in the west. Many towns called their cemetery Boot Hill because it is where gunfighters who died with their boots on were buried. Boot hill cemetery is nearby.
-The battle of Blue Water/Battle of Ash Hollow. Sioux tribe members come here annually to commemorate the Battle of Ash Hollow.
-The Sand Hill Crane, Blue Crane Heron and many other birds migrate through this area every spring and if you are a bird watcher you will see many birds here that are not commonly seen elsewhere. Sometimes even a pelican!
-The Garden County Fair is held here in Lewellen; the first weekend of August and everyone shows up for it, you should too!
-Hunting in this area is excellent year round for white tail deer, mule deer, goose, duck, etc, a little north of us you can find antelope and elk.
-Fishing as well. Lake McConaughy is one of Nebraska’s largest lakes and many record setting fish have been caught in the area, the North Platte River is a block away from the RV park as well. There are a lot of Walleye and catfish, with the walleye circuit here starting as early as March.
The neighboring town of Osh Kosh has a coffee shop where the local owners have 100% Kona coffee beans and Kona blends. They grow in Hawaii and roast in NE. Mark Ferrari Coffee just 2 blocks off the highway and Main Street.
Ogallala has several cowboy related things to see and is full of history, including a cowboy museum.
We are close to everything yet far enough out to avoid the crowds.

Nearly everything about Lake McConaughy is big. At 30,000 surface acres, it is Nebraska’s largest reservoir, its dam is among the largest of its type in the world and its fish grow to trophy proportions, accounting for several state records. Even its nickname, “Big Mac,” reflects its size.

Lake Mac’s white-sand beaches and clear waters are a favorite with campers, boaters, windsurfers, swimmers, water skiers, picnickers, scuba divers, hunters, anglers, and others seeking outdoor fun.

Oregon Trail RV Campground
Luke- The Lifesaver!
We can’t say enough great things about Oregon Trail RV Park! While traveling through the area with our dogs, we had planned to stay at Lake McConaughy, but the campgrounds there weren’t as dog-friendly as advertised during the off-season. Thankfully, Luke, the owner of Oregon Trail RV Park, stepped in at the last minute and gave us a place to stay. This park was exactly what we needed—easy to find, impeccably maintained, and truly welcoming to both us and our pets. The RV spaces were clean and spacious, with plenty of room for our dogs to enjoy themselves. Luke’s friendly and accommodating attitude made the experience stress-free, which is priceless when you’re on the road. If you’re in the Lake McConaughy area and looking for a quiet, pet-friendly RV park with excellent service, look no further. Oregon Trail RV Park is a gem, and we’ll definitely be back!

Great fall camping. Big sites well spaced. Our choice of shade or open sites. This time of year it’s first come, first served. We had very few neighbors.

Not what I expected
When we arrived there were oil cans and trash right next to our camp site. Buckets with old oil in them also. Someone did come and pick them up during the night. Shower house was a little sketchy to say the least.

One of the Nicer KOAs
We received a text the day prior welcoming us and asking us not to arrive before 1:00 PM Mountain Time plus let them know our estimated arrival time. This campground is just across the Mountain time zone as you head West. There were also instructions on where to park. We were met outside as we arrived and check-in was quick. We were escorted to a standard pull-through site 35 with FHUs. The first thing we noticed was how immaculate the campground(CG) was kept. Our site was plenty long enough for our 40’ 5th wheel and our F450. The utilities are in the middle with two sewer choices(nice!). The water pressure was good at around 50 psi. We were told at check-in that the Wifi was good enough to stream so we did not put out our Starlink for this overnighter and the Wifi performed well. We got 4 bars on Verizon. The sites are well-spaced especially for a KOA and their premium sites are really nice. Along with the regular fenced dog areas, they have several K-9 sites with private fenced dog areas. The CG is right off I-80, so you will have highway noise. Have to say this is one of the better laid out and managed KOA Journeys we’ve stayed. We would definitely stay here again.

One of my favorite spots is no longer free
I stopped by after having discovered this free spot last year but they are now charging $15 a day, which is not worth it. I would have rather planned to drive farther into Wyoming to get one of the free spots. I understand why the town started charging a fee but it’s sad nonetheless.

Nice KOA
I like this KOA they have put a lot of effort and money into it. A couple of issues really close to I 80 and as of July 2024 have construction hard to get into the road.

Cedar View Campground - Lake McConaughy
Clean campsite and good location
Well maintained, easy access to restrooms and trash. Really close between campsites, pretty loud and really crowded but as to be expected being a June weekend. Would recommend for the price but might be able to do better in the area.

Clean, convenient, highway noise
Clean campground, level gravel sites. Easy on and off to I80, but road noise as a result all day and night. Verizon cell signal was strong. Clean bathrooms and showers. Laundry available. Playground for kids, dog park for furry friends. Most sites are in open, a handful of sites had limited shade. Campground itself was quiet. Staff was friendly, staff escorts you to your site and directs you in. Garbage dumpster across from bathhouse. Small store in main building.

Lake Ogallala Campground
Rating based on view from camper
East campground Electric Plus Site. Looking for the plus. No RV fill/dump station. Water spigot available. Bath house with pay showers. Daily entry fee (had to purchase on internet), fill/dump station a few miles up the road to the big lake. Just not convenient. Host on site, but sign says off duty, and haven’t seen them. Several piles of dog poop on site and we didn’t bring a dog. Site does have a fire pit, picnic table and a good view of the lake. Not worth what an out of stater had to pay traveling through.

Not much has really changed in the last 20+ years that we have gone
Campground had bathrooms/showers available, but unable to use it because you needed a code to get into it and no code was given to us. WiFi ??? No information/ password was given to us.

Great Journey !
This is a fantastic Journey KOA. The hosts were friendly and helpful. We stayed for an evening and were able to get all of our needs fulfilled. The layout was effective for departure in the morning as well. We even walked to the DQ about a 15 minute walk away.

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.

Sandy Beach - Lake McConaughy SRA
Lake front Success
We camped right on the water. The spot was beautiful. Wake up walk into the lake. At night little frogs like to reveal themselves from the sand. Dog loved it. Kids loved it. It was very hot but the East access to the lake made it better. Canopy needed this time of year for sure. Gets hot in September. Be careful coming down to the beach. If you drive the wrong way you will get stuck taking an rv down and you can pay for a bulldozer to pull it in if you need it.

Level sites, Highway noise
Easy in/easy out. Nice looking sites. Some soft gravel in sites. Water pressure okay. Electric solid. Road noise from I-80 is very very loud and should be expected. If you're a light sleeper, stay away.

Very basic
Very basic, very small but suitable for overnight. Picnic table available for each site. Tricky to figure out how to get to the sites.

Great overnight spot
Full hookups for $45. Clean facilities and well maintained grounds. Sprinklers turn on at 9:30 so don't leave anything out. Dog friendly but wish they had a fenced in area for them to run off leash.

Peaceful free spot right off the interstate
This is a great location off of I80 if you don’t need any amenities. I boondock often so this was a perfect place for me to sleep at. Cell signal was excellent and let me work remotely. It’s quiet and I’m pretty sure I was the only person there at night. There are bathrooms if you need it. Highly recommend if you need a beautiful free spot!

Oregon Trail RV Campground
I love this Great little spot.
Our family camped here this summer. The more I was here the more I liked it. It is Shaded, quite, and although it’s 20 min from Lake McConahay, it also happens to be just across the river from Ash Hollow. Which we learned was the most talked about spot by settlers on the Oregon Trail in their diaries. We spent several days learning about the history, walking part of the Organ trail, and even Learned that the Mormon Trail came through this camp site. All in all I was so glad we stoped here. We came for the Lake but found So Much More. Also both Verizon and AT&T service here was very good.
