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:
-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.
-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.
$10 - $65 / night
Guide
A nice little spot when you need one the fellow who owns it is very friendly and keeps some great charm around the place. Super clean bathrooms and showers.
TravelerWe 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.
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.
Legend
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.
TravelerOur 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.
ScoutVery basic, very small but suitable for overnight. Picnic table available for each site. Tricky to figure out how to get to the sites.
ScoutCampground was very well maintained, no trash, mowed down, everything worked.. the owner was a really nice guy and cared how the stay was going. I would stay here again for sure.
ScoutLots of rabbits nice n quiet everything worked like it should the resteraunt next door had good food great stay.
ScoutWhen 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.
ScoutWe 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!
ScoutCampground 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.

Camper Park is just off the interstate and was a great place to stay for a night when I was on a road trip. The lounge area, laundry room and bathroom are kept clean. The owner is wonderful. She even gave me some eggs for my breakfast and cucumbers as a snack for the road.
GuideAs one of the other reviews says - not the most picturesque location, being right by the interstate, but the owner was super nice and helpful. Great facilities. Use of indoor lounge area, with basic cooking facilities. Discount for cash. Highly recommended.
ScoutWe stopped here for an overnight stay on our way to Colorado. Owners were very friendly and the bathrooms were very clean. Downside is the lack of shade. The friendly camp kitty greeted us when we arrived.
TravelerWe stayed at McGreer Campground for a quick overnight. It was surprisingly quiet even though it was right off the highway. My daughter and I took the dog for a walk at 10 pm when we got there. Pleasant. Nita was super nice and responsive. She even waited on the phone while we picked a site, upon her recommendations.
GuideSo this isn’t much more than a place to sleep, but it works while passing through a lot of nothingness on the interstate. On a working farm, with incredibly friendly owners. Easy to pay with Venmo and others, good service on phones and a safe place with other travelers. Some road noise from the interstate but it wasn’t too bad
GuideHad 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.
GuideFriendly owner talked to on the phone. Prices were almost double what is advertised on their website. It’s just a parking lot essentially off the highway exit.
TravelerThis is a perfect place to stop midway between the Missouri River and the Rocky Mountains. Extremely friendly staff. Not about the amenities, just terrific service in a perfect stop over spot
GuideCampsite on a working farm. Sites are gravel and pretty open with electricity. Has hot showers, laundry and a break/common room as well as a cabin. This spot will win NO awards for views but for amenities, easy o/off interstate, cleanliness, and owners/hosts it can’t be beat. Was a great spot to stop rest get some sleep before traveling on.
