A small convenience store is located on-site, and includes items such as snacks, drinks, fishing supplies, camping items, ice, and a limited supply of grocery items.

Only I-80 Lakeside watercraft is allowed on the lake.
The well-stocked lake houses a multitude of fish. Species include Crappie, Bass, Walleye, Perch, Catfish, and others. No permit is needed. Fishing is catch and release only.

Passed through for an overnight in late November. This was one of the only RV parks open. We were the only one in the park outside of the long term tenants. Some of the dump ports were in weird locations and the park is locked in the early 70s, but it was clean, open, and reasonably priced.
GuideQuiet RV spot with a diner right near for good breakfast. Seems like many tenants were long term. Nice people that run the campground. Stayed only one night as we were passing through.

Sleepy Sunflower RV Park is a neat place to stop over. Although it is right next to the interstate which is noisy, it has a cute western feel. It has a little area they call the town square wtt a wagon and carriage. It has tables with umbrellas, an area to BBQ, fire pit and outdoor kitchen. There is a office/market, free WiFi, playground, and a small pet run. The 28 RV sites are on rock, with full hook-ups, picnic table and some have fire pits. The 8 tent areas have grass with sand area for the tent to sit on, there are also 2 Tee-pees to rent. The bathrooms are extremely clean, as is the campground in whole. We did not have a reservation and showed up after hours hoping we could get in. It was nice that there was a place to check in and pay after hours. The office and campground was decorated nicely and owners (DuPeire family)live on site. There is a book and puzzle exchange, recycle bins and access codes for security.

Just a one night stopover, actual campsites are gravel/dirt, gravel roads. Not bad for a one nighter, looks like lots of long-term residents. Had a spot on the private lake which was great for my Labrador Retriever. Caught a few small bass as well.
Bathrooms were rough and ***hot*** as hell. Giving it 3 stars. Average, wouldn't stay long term but worked well for the night.
Guide
Been here two different weekends now as we wait for our more long term spot to open up. Has been very quiet even when packed full. Camp hosts are super friendly and helpful.
Traveler
This spot right off I-80 could be a great spot IF the owners even cared enough to mow good & weed eat. Full hook-ups for $25 +tax is a deal these days, that’s why we stayed. It appears that they’ve brought in dilapidated trailers, & most likely try to rent them out.

When you pull off at Paxton Nebraska, there is a campground with 12 full hook ups next to the gas station(the Lodge). There is a car wash and hotel there too. The Rv sites are pull thru so easy to park. Each site is spacious with a BBQ grill but no fire rings or picnic tables. You register at the hotel and sites are $22/ night and include cable. If you are tired and need a place to pull over this area serves its purpose.
Ranger
Very friendly staff and very clean park. It's clear the owners are working hard to make you feel welcome.
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. But we were just an overnight stop and it's easy on/off I80.
It is close to everything including a Walmart. The Wifi went down during our stay but Verizon is a full 4 bars so not big deal for us.
I would stay again if traveling through.
ScoutVery well maintained RV park. They take pride in keeping it clean. Would stay again

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.
RangerVery nice RV Park. Called when about an hour out to see if they had room for us and they said yes and penciled us in.
Scout
Really pretty park on the North Platte River, right out side of town. Spacious sites, large enough for our 40' motorhome with some trees for shade. No hook-ups but there is a rest room which we didn't use. May get busy on the weekends but we were there on a Monday and just a few sites were being used. Quite the deal for $5/night.
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.

Off of I-80 at Exit 211 is Blue Heron Campground. The new owners took possession in 2021 and it is no longer a KOA. There are 40 RV/Trailer sites that vary from pull thru to back in. Of those sites 17 are Full Hookups and the rest are water/electric. Full runs &45/ night, W/E run $39-42. The campground has laundry, playground,restrooms(which are very clean) and there’s cute lamps scattered throughout. The areas are nice and kept up. There are also 3 cabins with swings, air, benches and fire pit which run $55 a night. This is a good place to stop and can hardly hear the interstate traffic. There are also really nice areas for tents that have picnic tables and fire pits with benches and there are water spigots scattered
Traveler
I camped at this park two nights in September. The campground is very pretty and has some great hiking trails, but the campsites are so close to each other, I felt like I was in a Big RV Park, not a State Park.
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.
ScoutThe park is a quick hop off I80! Quiet, scenic and spacious! Camp Hosts are SUPER HELPFUL & kind! The shower/bathhouse is older but well kept. $25 for RV parking and showers are free! I would stay here again & I would recommend this park for families/hikers/nature lovers.

We 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.
ScoutDue to a communication mixup we had no reservation as we were traveling through on a Friday night. We saw this on the Dyrt map and pulled in. It’s a combo gas station, convenience store, hotel, and campground. It has full hookups with several gravel pull-through sites. It is not fancy but sites are level and price is right at 22.50 and the owner was nice. There are a few grills beside a little fishing lake, no picnic tables, and a fair amount of highway noise. We ran our fan all night though and didn’t hear anything.
TravelerGreat place to bring kids! We have driven through North Platte several times and had always wanted to camp here. We finally got the chance. There are several camping sites for $5 no hookups there is a sewage dump station. There are several animals in cages around including peacocks, lamas, donkeys, Buffalo, dear and elk. It’s fun to walk around and look at the animals. There are also several day use areas, and a couple of play grounds. Also in the Cody park area is a small amusement park perfect for kids 2ish-8ish. Our 4 kids in that age range all loved it. The rides were affordable and fun for the youngins.
GuideArrived 7pm without a reservation. Clear list of available sites, amenities and prices. Grassy gravel pad, long enough to stay hooked up and wide enough to have slides out without feeling like you’re in your neighbor’s site . Full hookups worked fine. Restrooms older but clean. Soap dispensers and towels were empty. The campground layout was meandering so it didn’t feel like a parking lot. Some sites right next to the river, some away. Where we were the freeway noise was not so bad. Would stay here again.
LegendNestled off I-80 in Nebraska off the 179 exit to North Platte you will find a decent campground. This campground has 89 Rv sites along with multiple tent sites which have little yellow fish signs to mark them. The Rv sites are gravel, level, have picnic benches and a fire ring. There is a small fishing/swimming lake that is catch and release only. Some fish you might catch are Crappie, Bass, Catfish, Walleye and others. They have a neat incentive where if you catch a tagged fish you win a boat rental. The boat rentals available are kayaks,paddle oats, and rowboats for rent at reasonable prices at the office. There is also a small 2 unenclosed dog walk, a playground, and a walking trail. Also available are horse shoes and volleyball. The restrooms are fairly clean. The showers in the women’s are being redone and are looking nice. There is a laundry facility on site. The office/store has camping essentials and firewood for purchase. The owners took possession and reopened in May of 2016. This campground is in short walking distance from the platte River-across the street. All and all it is a convenient and decent place to stop along I-80 as you are traveling.

We stayed at the Little Thunder campground for 1 night while passing through Nebraska. Wow! The views were wonderful. We had to pay $8 for an entry fee into the park. Camping fees were paid at the campground using an envelope and a drop box. They offered full hookup sites 1-8 for $37/night and sites 9-42 are $32/night w/ electricity. We chose site 25 It has a nice sandy trail that leads you right to the beach.🏖 We arrived at 4:00pm on a Friday evening in September and there were plenty of sites to choose from. We seen a few campers & tents ⛺ boondocking on the beach, we wanted to go out there but after boondocking in Colorado for 5 days we wanted to enjoy the electricity hookup for the night. The cons to this site is there were tiny cockle burrs on the ground EVERYWHERE! Our poor dogs were injured immediately after arriving before we realized these cockle burrs were on the ground by then we had tracked them inside the camper, vehicle on our shoes..My family got them stuck in their hands and feet ouch! I wasn't a happy camper while getting those burrs out of the dogs paws and out of the camper and clothes. There are no signs stating dogs weren't allowed on the beach so we carried them down there where they were safe to walk around. I am not sure if these burrs are all over the campground because I did not leave our site other than the path to beach which didn't have these burrs. The wind had picked up out of nowhere and the clouds rolled in then sand was blowing hard everywhere so we retreated to our camper for the night. Be prepared there is alot of white sand here.
GuideGreat campground! Very reasonably priced, shaded, level sites, great wifi, and a nice pool! What more could you ask for? I would recommend this to anyone!
GuideVery nice park just off I-80. There's a nice little lake that you can swim and fish (catch and release only), or rent a kayak or little boat. Full hookups available, with many pull through spots as well. Each spot has a fire pit and picnic table. In the middle of the grounds is a children's playground and 2 small fenced dog runs. Nice bathroom and shower facilities, and a nice store for many of your needs. And if you need more, there's 2 truck stops (travel plazas) across the interstate. Maybe the only drawback would be interstate noise. I highly recommend.
ScoutThe views are pretty but the lack of full hookup sites and dump stations aren't worth it, in our opinion. When we booked our reservation, we utilized the options for 50amp site for a 40' camper and water. What we got was a 50amp site with "community" water available for us to fill up jugs and whatever else held water that we had to walk several sites down to get from a communal water faucet. Had we known this, we could have filled out fresh water tank completely to prepare. It isn't like we never dry dock but a more clear booking site would have helped us prepare. The trash dumpsters are in the worst possible spot for longer rigs pulling out from Lake Ogallala's SRA sites, including #36. And, finally...the fact the dumpstations are no where near most of the camp sites, nor are they clearly marked for convenient finding ensures we will not using this location again.
