All of our spots have 50, 30 and 20 amp electrical pedestals, heated water hydrants and sewer hookups. Wifi and a large dog park are our newest amenities!

Showers, laundry room and restroom facilities available. Tent camping and dry camping welcomed.
We are located in Sterling, CO on Highway 14 just 2 miles west of Walmart. This RV park was designed to be trouble free even in the winter months. The water hydrants are heated from the tip to 4 ft deep in the ground. The electrical pedestals have 50, 30 and 20 amp electrical service and of course, sewer hookups at each site. Each site is 32’ wide so there is plenty of room for big rigs, slide-outs and room to relax.We have 6 back in and 6 pull through spots to choose from. All of our RV spaces are level and clean with a gravel base.
$22 - $50 / night
12 RV spots, 30' x 70' pull through, with full hook ups and shade trees in an open hay field. Each space has a choice of 50AMP, 30 AMP, or 20AMP to plug into so no adapters are needed. Water faucets are shared by 2 sites and T’s are provided for simultaneous use. There are also picnic tables that people just move around so feel free to grab one.
The campground is mowed about every 10 days. Pets welcome and need to be on a leash if outside and cleaned up after.
We now have 1 working restroom and shower! Laundry is next! 🤗

The Cafe no longer takes reservations or payments for the RV Park because they are owned by different individuals now but the new owners of both are very friendly with each other and the Cafe has really good food, essentials, liquor and gasoline, groceries, etc.
You can call the number 970-978-8186 with questions. To register a site, book online and then pay online with a card or you can drop cash/check in the safe by the American flag. You must call 970-978-8186 to see which spaces are available and get the code to use the shower/restroom/laundry
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
Twenty full hookups, easy access from I 76, free WiFi, 50 AMP service, grocery, snacks, gift shop, close to Julesburg Welcome Center.
Traveler
Well maintained grounds, restrooms and showers are clean and easy to access. Unfortunately there are trees but none are mature enough to provide adequate shading. Gas and convenience , shopping, and food located close by. Cabela's Sydney store is across the parking lot with plenty of things to browse for. Easy on and off I-80 access for RVs, vans, and tent campers with a nice playground for the kids and running room for your pets. Easy access horse Corral 🐎 for the equestrian motivated individuals. Overall when the trees mature to provide shade this will be a 10 for passing through and short stay campers. There aren't any sewage hookups but it does have a black and Grey water dump. Electrical rv hookups are in each spot and there's plenty of green grace to go around.

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!
RangerGood Sam campground spacing normal with campgrounds. Full hookups. Wifi. Just off the I 80 so some traffic noise. Would stay here again.
LegendWe 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.

It was interesting to learn about Chimney Rock and definetly about how it was taller but got hit by lightning. This is a small RV campground but perfect to stop when we were tired. And definite bonus is they light up chimney rock at night while everything is pitch dark. There is a small pond you can fish at and so my husband did. It’s catch and release only. While he fished I walked around the pond and saw the biggest bullfrogs ever. I could hear a lot of traffic and some peacocks yelping. Also beware of rattlesnakes they are thick in this area. It’s open all year, has pull thru sites, full hook ups, dump station, picnic tables, and cute gift shop with ice cream parlor.
LegendPioneer Crossing is located between Bridgeport and Scottsbluff. It’s a small 15 pull through campground($38/night) with 1 cabin which is $60/night. The sites are gravel and full hook ups and no trees. We pulled up after dark and Jo the owner told us they were full but he offered his field behind the cabin for a discount. He was very kind to find a place for us. The shop had a small stinkin cute ice cream parlor, pop, snacks and souvenirs. There is a small pond and area for tents($30/night), a dump station and shower/restroom. They also offer monthly stays at $550/month. It was fine for needing to pull off the road to sleep and to hike/view Chimney rock(a historical landmark).

It's a new RV park. It was very well kept up and clean. The downtown Sterling was nice. Jane was very helpful with directions and things to do and see. Jane was wonderful in helping us to stay for 2 nights. You're the bomb, Jane, as my kids would say.
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.
GuideGreat easy campground right off interstate 80 with full hookups and water and electric for $30 to $40 a night.

Cons
GuideWe had a travel day and needed to have full hookups. They delivered. Internet was no problem.
Scout
Nice folks. Ok for a nights stay with full hookups. Sites are close together. Also a MH park.
Guide
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.
LegendThis is a very convenient place to stop while road tripping east west across Colorado off of the I-76 Highway. Looks a lot like most of the campsites are for RVs and most of those places are occupied during the summer. There wasn't much available in terms of tent sites, nor does this place really cater to the tent camper. Tent sites I did see were not very level were very small. They did have a picnic table and maybe a barbecue pit but they were pretty unkempt and no fire pits at sites I saw. It is pretty great that they have a pool and hot tub on site, but it has not been maintained and was closed for what looks like a while because I saw a lit of debris build up in the hot tub. Their bathrooms are open and available, and are an upgrade from a porta potty, but they are nothing special. There is a dump station with non-potable water available and also sites that were full electric hookups. Even though I tend to sleep in my roof top camper, I usually can book tent sites with that arrangement. This place was very cheap and allowed me to do so, but next time I need to road trip I'll look for a site with a few more working and available accommodations like a fire pit.
GuideFull hookups for $45. Clean facilities and well maintained grounds. Sprinklers turn on at 9:30 so don't leave anything out. Dog friendly but wish they had a fenced in area for them to run off leash.

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.
TravelerThere is not much to this campground, besides the full hookups except the very warm welcome we received from the host on his 4-wheeler! The view of Chimney Rock was beautiful morning and night. Thanks for being so gracious.
GuideThis is a great stay over place. I believe we counted just 12 spots, full hookups. Spaces are rather close, but with only 12 rigs, it did not feel packed. Host was very kind and helpful. The view of the Chimney Rock was right out our front window. We walked to the rock location and took the trail at the cemetery. It is a bit of a distance (we had 5 miles) but we are hikers and didn’t mind. You could also drive closer, but we did not want to unhook from our rig. The registration office is a building full of goodies! Ice cream, food, and gifts and souvenirs are available. We really enjoyed our overnight stay here and I would happily recommend this to anyone traveling through.
GuideWe needed a place to stop on our way through the Midwest. We landed on the Sidney Cabela’s because it was easy to get to. The bathrooms were clean, and there were plenty of sites available. We paid $18 with our AAA discount. Site was electric so we could plug in our cooler.
Guide
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
Legend
We had some difficulty locating this park and eventually asked a local where it was (Google maps will not direct you to the right place; the “campground” is located on East 11th Street and First Avenue). It is located uphill from the downtown area so don’t confuse it with another city park closer to downtown. Now, to review the campground. Western Nebraska campgrounds are unlike other places we are used to – perhaps it is because of summer heat (and biting flies) but most seem to be geared toward RVs. This one has three "sites", although they are not separated in any way save for the electrical and water hook-ups. Just room for three rigs on a gravel area. No tents for sure. Across the street from these “sites” is a nice lawn area with lots of trees and a covered picnic pavilion, which could make your stay more pleasant, as long as a group isn’t using it. There was a persistent barking dog nearby while I was checking it out. About the only redeeming thing I can think of for this place is the price: free for the first two nights but you would need to pay$10 per night after (I guess to discourage people from living there). Close to Chimney Rock and about 25 miles from Scotts Bluff but otherwise not much in the area.
GuidePulling off I 80 we saw RVs park around a pretty lake in a nice park. We drove over and asked someone in an RV if there was an honor box or if somebody would come collect a fee. He said “no the rule is just leave it cleaner than you found it.”
Be sure to drive your tent stakes deep in the sandy soil as the wind can blow pretty hard in the Nebraska panhandle at times.
TravelerThese spaces are close together but across a narrow street from a beautiful city park. There is a large covered area with several picnic tables and a well maintained grass area for the kids/pets. Both 30 and 50 amp electrical hookups at each site along with water. No sewer. No toilets. No showers. Beautiful area. Within 4 miles of Chimney Rock. We stayed 3 nights.
Scout
We were here in mid April and there was one other RV there. The campground allows views in all directions, that seem to go on for a hundred miles. Located in northeast Colorado, it is a nice “stop-off” for the road-weary traveller. Water, showers, flush toilets and power hook-ups are provided.
TravelerStayed one night, I would not stay again. Grateful we had a place to hook up and rest but this park is extremely neglected and run down.
GuideI arrived late last night to chimney rock completely lit up. Very beautiful. Spots are fairly small but quiet. Frequent train, if that bothers you. Nice easy to hook up and pull through spot.
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.
