    Cozy Cabin in the Cornfields

    This was a wonderful spot to visit during our trip across the country. The pet friendly cabin was a cozy air conditioned break from the August heat. The location is great and feels tucked away every though it isn't far from the highway. The staff were very helpful. I would definitely recommend!

    Trade Winds

    Fun, lively campground but too close together

    3 miles East of Loup City is Trade Winds campground. It is privately owned so you don’t need a state pass. It has 12 cabins and 20 Rv/tent sites with electricity and shared water. The sites are very close together but have shade trees. Each site is back in with picnic bench and fire rings. There is a nice marina for food,bait, supplies. And it has a grill open on weekends. There is a coin operated shower house and laundry mat area. The Marina also has kayak, boat slip, and storage for rent. Everyone there seems to be nice. They even had a huge firework display.

    Favorite KOA

    This campground is set among the corn fields. The staff was super! The pool is cool and tucked away in the back. The store sold single local beers and was open late. They were slinging hot pizza. We stayed in an air conditioned camping cabin. Super close to the pool and bathrooms! 2 of the nicest fenced dog parks of any KOA. I would definitely stay there again if driving through.

    Prairie Oasis Campground & Cabins

    Awesome campground

    Arrival was smooth. Parked outside of office and checked in. Was escorted to site and given a run through. Site has a slight dip but was not a big deal.

    On site 12, it seems like you would need to share a fire pit and picnic table with site 13. Luckily, site 13 wasn’t ever occupied during our stay since there was a parked utility trailer there.

    Pond has three paddle boats and you can fish. Water is murky and seems to only contain bluegill and bullheads. We had a lot of bites but never caught anything. Would be nice if it was stocked with more fish.

    Free firewood nightly was great.

    Shop in the office contains supplies, food, and drinks. This was nice.

    Camp hosts are very friendly and accommodating.

    This is generally going to be a great place for campers looking to stay overnight but not really for extended stays.

    Prairie Oasis Campground & Cabins

    Prairie Oasis-A great place to stop over or spend a little time

    This campground is a really nice campground right off Interstate 80. The owners live on site and take pride in their business and it shows. The campground is well kept, and the bathrooms/shower house has been remodeled and was immaculate. The sites are gravel, level, and good size. They offer tent camping, Electric and water, or full hook-ups. The sites are pull thru which is always nice. There are fire rings and picnic tables scattered throughout the sites.

    We were at a sight closest to the pond, which I loved because I could walk my pups down to the pond and sit at the yard swing and just relax. I thought the interstate would be really noisy but the trees muffle the sound and you really don't hear it. There was even free paddle boats to use for the pond. We also played horseshoes. They also had many other Yard Games to play, a Sand Volleyball Pit, a Sand Box with toys, and a swing set.

    The owners were very sweet and Patty brought us fresh baked cookies-something no other campgrounds has ever done and something I will never forget. They also give you your first bundle of firewood free. They go out of their way to make you feel welcome and we did. We will definitely be coming back here.

    WoW Stay!

    We needed a quick 'pit stop' stay on our way to Colorado. We chose this one because it was one of the few open KOAs during the COViD scare, and we simply needed a basic cabin to rest for one night. We arrived late, and were very impressed with the very organized system for getting our key/campground map, and found the super clean cabin near the 'private' (access code required) bathrooms. We woke in the morning to a gorgeous sunrise coming up over the newly planted corn field. It was SPECTACULAR! We had a chance to walk around and noticed just how immaculate everything was kept. The pool looked perfectly clear and I just can't say enough. Wish we could have stayed longer!

    KEEP DRIVING!!!

    DONT GO HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO GET SCREAMED AT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT FOR SNEEZING!!! No joke!!! Very sweet owners, when taking your money. But when my youngest son ran a fever of 104 shortly after we got there at 8:00 p.m., and we had to take him to the ER, the owners actually came out of their house at midnight and yelled at us for "slamming our car door". I tried to apologize and explain the situation the next morning and there was no empathy what so ever! In stead, we got blamed for "making a huge mess in their public restroom". WE WERENT EVEN THERE LONG ENOUGH TO USE THEIR RESTROOM, NOR WOULD WE HAVE AS WE HAVE OUR OWN IN OUR MOTORHOME!!! Just weary travelers trying to get some rest. Not loud, obnoxious, didn't even sit at the picnic table. Didn't have time before we were run out. FOR SURE, two elderly people who SHOULD NOT be in business running a customer service establishment!!! If you want my advice, KEEP DRIVING!!!

    Close sites, well maintained

    We stayed here in June. The tent sites are very close in proximity- your conversation quickly becomes your neighbors conversation. Tent sites are pull-up which is convenient. There are RVs behind and away from the tent sites (mostly RVs here with about 10 tent sites). We met some great tent neighbors & had nice conversation. One tent neighbor was extremely disruptive (left their dog tied up crying at the site- did not give the dog water the whole time they were there which was 12 hours- It was sad- they were also all around loud and inconsiderate). Other than those neighbors all was good. Laundry on site so bring quarters. Showers are clean enough. Bathrooms are a close walk to tent sites. Not much at the camp store (they were out of a lot of stuff their site says they have & we're not making food either), but they did get an ice delivery when we were there which was helpful. We planned to cook at our site anyway- but it was inconvenient for some families relying on their pizza for dinner. Great sunset views over the cornfield from the tent sites !!!

Guide to St. Paul

Camping cabins near St. Paul, Nebraska provide overnight shelter across several established campgrounds within a 40-mile radius. The region experiences hot summers with temperatures regularly exceeding 90°F in July and August, making air-conditioned cabin options particularly valuable during peak season. Most cabin facilities operate seasonally from early spring through late fall, with limited wintertime availability.

What to do

Paddle boating at pond areas: Prairie Oasis Campground offers free paddle boats for guest use on their small on-site pond. "There is a nice little pond to walk around too," notes Aaron, who appreciated this amenity during his stay at Prairie Oasis Campground & Cabins.

Fishing opportunities: Many cabins provide access to nearby fishing spots, though success varies by location. At Prairie Oasis, one visitor reported: "Water is murky and seems to only contain bluegill and bullheads. We had a lot of bites but never caught anything. Would be nice if it was stocked with more fish."

Evening campfires: Most cabin locations provide fire rings with some offering complimentary firewood. "Free firewood nightly was great," reported Bryan R. during his stay at Prairie Oasis, making evening campfire activities more accessible.

Wildlife observation: Multiple cabin locations offer opportunities to observe local wildlife. "The campground restrooms were closed due to Covid and she had everyone spread to every other site. No tent camping or cabins open at this time. Had a great time frog hunting and boy were they big," shared Shannon G. about her experience at Prairie Oasis.

What campers like

Convenient highway access: Grand Island KOA provides easy access for travelers along Interstate 80. "Easy on/off from I-80. Clean spots and level pads. Registration was very easy. Nice overnighter," reports Pete M., highlighting its convenience for those passing through.

Friendly staff service: Campground hosts receive consistently positive mentions across multiple cabin locations. At Prairie Oasis, one camper noted, "Todd was even out there helping us newbies pack up our rig when it was time to go. Will stay here again, if just for the hospitality!"

Clean facilities: Bathroom cleanliness ranks high among positive comments for cabin campers. "The bathrooms were clean and warm," notes Stephanie B. about her stay at Grand Island KOA, though she had other concerns about the campground.

Pool access: Swimming amenities complement some cabin locations during summer months. "Pool was chilly but nice after a long day of driving," mentions Amy J. about the Grand Island KOA facilities, providing relief during hot Nebraska summers.

Site spacing variations: Cabin proximity to neighbors varies significantly between locations. "The sites are very close together but have shade trees," reports Shannon G. about Trade Winds, while another visitor at Grand Island KOA noted: "Great campground other that you are on top of your neighbors. Thought we might not be able to open our awning, only about 3 to 4 feet between sites."

Noise considerations: Despite proximity to highways, several locations manage road noise effectively. "While it is close to the freeway, the noise never seemed to bother us," reports Aaron about Prairie Oasis, while Peter W. similarly noted about Grand Island KOA: "Although near the highway there was not a lot of road noise."
