  Sleepy Sunflower RV and Campground

  Neat place to sleepover

  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.

  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!

  Lake Ogallala - Lake McConaughy State Rec Area

  Quiet and peaceful

  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.

  Days Inn and RV Park

  Just OK

  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.

  Paxton Campgrounds

  Campground with small pond

  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.

  Lone Eagle Campground

  Campground on beautiful lake with white sandy beaches

  Lone Eagle Campground is a mostly full hookup campground on the north shore of Lake McConaughy, Nebraska’s largest reservoir, located at the edge of Nebraska’s Sandhills. The entire shoreline of the lake consists of fine white sand beaches and the water is clean and clear.

  We camped here in our 39’ travel trailer in a back-in, full hook up site. The water spigot is equipped with a splitter and is shared by two spots. The water pressure was so low that our water pump came on constantly when we used the water, even though we did not have a neighbor hooked up to our spigot.

  Our 50 Amp power was good and the sewer hookup was fine. We had a view of the lake but because of the water being low, it is about 1 or 2 city block distance to the water. There were many sticker burrs in the grassy areas.

  The bathhouse was not very clean but it is used by many people just here for day use activities. The showers are pay, 2 tokens for $1.00 and each token lasts 2 minutes. We did not have to use the showers. There is a playground for the kids and a couple large recycle containers, one for plastic and one for cardboard. The trash dumpsters are near the bathhouse.

  We had 1 to 2 bars AT&T and they advertise Wifi but you have to pay for it.

  This lake is lovely and the campground would be best enjoyed if you have a boat or jet ski.

  Oregon Trail RV Campground

  Small campground

  We came across this small campground right outside of Lewellen on Hwy 26. It has 12 full hook up sites on grass. There are some mature trees to help with shade. The sites are pull thru and each has a picnic table across a small lane from the site. You register at the store next to the campground. The store has a cafe, supplies,and gas. The campground is clean and great for overnight or if Lake Mcconnahey is full. Sites are $25 a night.

  Ogallala Tri-Trails KOA

  Clean park close to I80 but far enough away.

  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.

  Harvest Park RV

  Fairground rv Park

  The RV park is part of the fairground so activities can be busy. The layout is poorly designed but as long as the aren't busy you can occupy as much area as you want  but if they were busy you would not have room for you slide outs. they do have plans to expand and allow for more room. Rates for FHU is 25 for first day and 15 q day after that.

  Cedar View Campground - Lake McConaughy

  Beautiful Vistas, Sandy Beaches, Starlit Nights, Absolutely Marvelous

  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.

  Admirals Cove

  Dont stay here

  They say full hookups, but there is no sewer. The sites are small and not well divided (basically electric boxes). The staff is disorganized and unhelpful. The cottonwood trees and bugs get in everything and the ground is all mud and dirt.

  Lake Mcconauhgy Cedar Vue Campground

  Sandy Sandy Beaches, great campsites

  This is one of our favorite campsites in the country.  On a tall cliff, lake breeze blowing through the popup window, sandy beach that is as big as the panhandle itself (these are the sandhills of Nebraska). My 'Dyrt' profile picture is of our site at Cedar Vue.

  Ogallala was a raunchy western town and has q boot hill full of cutthroats and cowboys.

  The lake is huge. one of the few man-made lakes that are visible from outer space.  Nice wide open country side all around with much wildlife to see.  If you are a bird watcher, head north to crescent lake and see the burrowing owls, long billied curlew, or a vast amount of other  birds.  The fishing is renowned.

  Warm showers, flush toilets, full hookups (though we prefer the scenery of our primitive site). Nice visitor center at the dam

  McGreer Camper Park

  Nice end to a long day

  Had a full hookup space. She gave a discount for cash. Bathhouse was a little rough. Not much privacy. This is a working farm. Right off I-80.

  Lake Ogallala - Lake McConaughy State Rec Area

  A Big Nope from Us

  The 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.

  Days Inn and RV Park

  Not fancy but appreciated

  Due 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.

  We needed a stop for overnight and this was perfect. The owners were very nice and the place is very clean. We used full hookups and it was perfect for what we needed. It is close to I-80 for easy access.

  Enders Reservoir State Recreation Area

  Tiny campsites, all RV

  The sites are tiny and made for RVs. There is no exclusive tent or primitive camping area. The reservoir is primarily used by jet skis and a few power boats. You can swim, but the water is murky brown.

  No Name Bay - Lake McConaughy

  1 night stand

  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.

  Lone Eagle Campground

  Beautiful area

  It is an SRA campground but has full hookup. Beautiful view of Lake McConaughey. Sites in Lone Eagle are not right on lake. Sites are large with great areas to have dogs. Cool breeze coming up off lake even though it was in the 90's today. After 2 nights in travel campgrounds ( they were great for that purpose)...this is back to nature. Love it. Word of caution though...there are sand burrs in some of the grass. If you have pups, watch out for those. They were not too bad.

  Lake Ogallala Campground

  Shady Retreat from the Lake

  This campsite is beautiful - a nice quiet lake with fishing & kayaking, shady spot with electric hookup, and a pretty nice fire pit. Huge cottonwoods surround us with birds chirping into the evening & the crickets singing at night. No water hookups at the site but there is water available - though not a RV fill/dump station. Paid showers available. A great retreat after a day on Lake Mac, which is right next door. No quiet hours on Saturday night. Worth it for the water access to Lake Ogallala!

  Lake Ogallala - Lake McConaughy State Rec Area

  Beauty

  Such a beautiful place to stay. Ideally, you would want a spot by the water and/or under the shade trees more. For the reservable side, it has electric hook ups and community water spouts you can fill your tanks with. Spots are pretty spaced out. The big lake is easy to get to. Dump stations are at the big lake and should be marked better. There used to be a playground at the campground, but it is gone. Did find one by the dam at the non-electric side of Lake Ogallala.

  Inlet Camping Area

  Good potential but needs serious cleaning.

  We called ahead and were told there was plenty of space and that they did not take reservations so we headed over there. When we got there, there was plenty of rv spots and the camp host told us to go down the far left dirt road to find a private spot by the lake.. there were some open spots but there was a lot of garbage and obvious areas of human feces, toilet paper and paper towels. The fire pits were piled with all kinds of garbage that probably needed gloves and hazmat suit to clean up. We are camping across the country with our 2 dogs and a young toddler and we did not feel it was safe to have out dogs or kid at these spaces due to the amount of garbage and whatever else was piled in there. That being said there were large groups of people camping at some of the other spots along the lake and seemed ok. We are driving a SUV with a cargo carrier on the hitch and found some of the road to be too uneven to drive with the rack on the back without scrapping.

  Pros- they have a variety of very beautiful birds.

  Definitely do not forget your bug spray as the flies bite hard and the ticks are thick.

  Nice tent camping

  This campground is free it has a lake it has a few picnic shelters with grills. There is one bathroom with a flush toilet it’s coed. You can drive just about anywhere on the property and set your tent up. There are no electric hook ups or water hook ups available. But for an overnight stop or two it’s a pretty nice place

  Lake Ogallala Campground

  Nice no hookup campground

  This review is for the West Campground, which is a Basic site with no hookups. There is water in a couple places but not at each site. The sites do have a picnic table, fire ring or grill. There are trash dumpsters, a playground, porta potties and a more modern restroom at the end of the campground. Most sites are fairly level and have trees for shade. Sites 1-17 are right on the lake, although the sites near the power generating have a strong surphur smell from the water.

  This is a great place to stay if you don’t mind no hookups.
