"Extraordinary location given that you are in the middle of Nebraska. I didn’t expect to be camping on a beach! Beautiful scenery."
GuideI 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.
GuideOk so first off this was a pretty site BUT... we had a tent. There was some kind of thorny thing all over the ground it mad it very hard for my kids to play or even have a blowup mattress. It literally stuck into everything. If you had a camper it was a great spot. If your camping in a tent would not recommend this site at all. Also you have to pay with your showers with tokens 1 token is 2 mins worth. It was not worth the money to me to stay here.
LegendWe loved this camping area and have been dreaming of returning.
The view was spectacular from the tent site, but there are plenty of full hookup sites available.
Though most lakes in Nebraska are man-made and muddy, this manmade lake is in the sandhills so it is all beach and clear water. The showers are free and there are plenty of hydrants for non-hookup sites.
There is good trout fishing here and excellent bird watching. We saw the Long-billed Curlew, Burrowing Owl, and several other birds checked off our bucket list.
The towns of both Ogallala and Lewellen both had plenty to see.
The camp host was exceptional and helpful beyond what is typically expected.

GuideWe pulled in and asked the man in the golf car for a spot. He informed us “No Tents” He failed to mention we could tent camp in the city park across the creek. Thanks Buddy! In the Pony Express Park across the bridge you can camp in a RV or Tent for free.Just leave it cleaner than you found it.

ScoutEasy on and off from 80. We camped in the RV part with full hookups. We have stayed here twice and it is nice to have hookups while traveling across the Midwest. There are sites that are just electric or tent sites. The bathrooms and showers are clean.
GuidePulled in around 6pm on a monday evening in june. The “Real RV” section was packed, but the electric only sites and tent sites were completely empty. perfect for our class b.
There was a playground and a building which had laundry and maybe showers, but it was closed due to COVID.
LegendTired of driving-take a break here. We stumbled across this campground when returning from Colorado and needing a place to stay over. It is self register at night and the sites are level, on gravel, and clean. There is a picnic table and a fire grill at each site. There are about 30 Rv sites and some tent sites. It will be a few years until the trees grow large enough to give shade.
