    Great Campground

    This campground is one of our favorites. It’s got clean restrooms and showers, plenty of water available plus the dump station. Nice lake for fishing or kayaking. Great trails for hiking or mountain biking. Super quiet place and some pretty great sunsets!

    Nice but dirty

    Nice campground but the bathrooms were disgusting. Mud on the floor in the shower.

     Spider webs and dead bugs everywhere. 20 min of cleaning could have made it enjoyable.

    Cute simple short term sites

    They have 18 electric sites $26/night and tent non electric sites for $18/night. 7 day max stays. Reservable.

    Quite location

    $20.00 a night gives you 30amp service. Picnic tables, grass site. There is only one grill in the campgrounds, and that was located on site L. You have to call the number pictured, and police will come and unlock your electrical box. They will also take your money if you wish to pay them directly. They spray for mosquitoes, and they were not a problem while we were there. Many local dog walkers, they leave many, many land minds around. You can have shade in the morning, but for the most part, all sites see sunshine throughout the day. Nice place. I should mention showers are free. Bathrooms are clean and just across the road from where you can camp. Dump station is also just west of the bath house.

    This place sucked

    Me, my husband and grandson went there couple weeks ago. We’re supposed to stay for three days. We brought our three dogs. The host just got pissed off at us and told us we had to leave because one of our dogs kept barking at three in the morning well who in the hell walked by a camper at 3 o’clock in the morning because that’s the only reason why he would bark is because somebody was right there. And I paid for three days and didn’t get my money back. Didn’t get anything which is a bunch of bullshit.

    Great first come first serve campground

    This is a nice small campground that is well taken care of. We stayed at site number 8 which may be one of the more unlevel spots. The passenger side of our 5th wheel was about 7" lower than driver side and rear of fifth wheel was about 3" lower than front before we levelled out. 

    Pros:

    -Well maintained walking trails that are perfect for dogs

    -Most sites have 30 and 50 amp hookups

    -Fire rings and picnic tables at most sites

    -$18 a night for electric hookups

    -Quiet

    Cons:

    -Some sites are very unlevel  

    -No water or dump station

    Very nice city campground/park

    The sites are large with space, electric only,ok bath and shower. A large fenced dog park. Great stop for a night or two. Host very helpful.

    Much better!

    We stayed there late July 2023. This year they added a camp host. When we pulled up, he greeted us and was very friendly! Having a camp host has made the campsite much more safe and appealing. The locals told us it used to be a mess and it's so much better now. The campsite was much better than I expected for Norfolk, NE. We will be staying here again! Can't beat the price.

    Before we pulled up, we had to fill with water because there is no water at the sites themselves. And no sewer dump at the sites. (There is one on your way out). However, we had full 50 amp power. The concrete pads made it nice to park the RV on for easy set up.

    Much to be desired. Lots of potential

    Beautiful lake with nice beaches, however, when we went, the water has a “no contact order” from May- end of September. This was not disclosed when booking. You can still take your boat if you have one. Bathrooms were clean, but old. No showers in main campsite area.

    Trying to reserve spot

    I am driving 8 hours across the state of Nebraska to go spend some time with my daughter who attends Wayne State College and to watch some theater performances she is in. I wanted to ensure that I had a place to park my camper but unfortunately I am unable to reserve a spot. It is first come first serve only. Hope I have luck finding a spot when I arrive in about a month to stay for 5 nights!

    Howells Community Park

    Good overnight spot while traveling.

    Pros

    -Water/Electricity/Dump station

    -Public restroom 

    -Near a gas station and convenience mart

    -Free will donation for firewood

    -Flat camping spots

    -Park nearby

    -Fire Rings

    Cons

    - There are only around 6 spots

    -You share your water connection with your neighbor

    -RV slips are right at the park entrance so there is the risk of traffic non stop if the park is being used for an event

    I came in a couple days before memorial weekend and all of the RV spots were reserved so I only did a short drive around grabbing some photos. It looks like a great spot to swing in overnight if there are any open spots.

    Clarkson City Park

    Campground with a dump station next to a city park

    Pros

    -Amenities for the kids, (Playground, pool)

    -Public Bathrooms nearby that have showers

    -Dump Station

    -Electricity

    -Water on premises to fill tanks with

    Cons

    -I didn't see much for gas and food in town if you are hoping to swing in for a night and get back on the road tomorrow

    -Dump station could use a bigger trash can but they seem to have done a good job putting other cans around the park

    This is a fairly clean and mostly level campground that is a nice stay if your end destination is Clarkson. If you are looking for a spot to swing in, fill up on fuel and food, and leave the next day then the nearby campground in Howells might suite you a little better.

    Summit Lake State Rec Area

    Quiet and worth booking

    Pros: Quiet, walking trails, lake, bar nearby, clean showers and bathroom, building a new playground as of 10/2022

    Cons: Dump station is on a noticeable uphill slope, so you won't be able to completely empty a tank if your setup is the wrong way. No water hookups at sites. 

    We stayed in October 2022 at site 28. This is my favorite site because it has a convienient water spicket right next to it if you want to fill your freshwater tank without moving your rig. The only drawback is that it is right next to the showers so a little busy. Campground is well kept. Lake is low as of 2022 but looks to be refilling.

    Unexpected surprise!

    Level sites. Will accommodate rigs of all sizes. 50amp electric. Water hook up. Dump station. All for $15 per night. Fairly quiet, some highway noise but not bad. Clean restroom and shower. Would stay here again.

    Peaceful and quiet campground

    Nice campground overall. Sites are first come first serve and they have decent prices but are a bit confusing as they are not marked too clearly. 

    There is a park across the street and a convenience store/gas station right next to grounds.

    Unexpectedly Pleasant

    We didn't actually Camp there and truthfully I'm not so sure I ever even saw the campgrounds. But the lake in the area is beautiful and there's quite a large space to the park with lots of trails and open field areas. I believe you have to pay a fee to the DNR for a day pass or purchase an annual Nebraska park pass/license in order to even go through the park. There's a few places outside of town that advertise horseback riding and I always thought that would be a sweet place to do so. We mainly went to fish!

    Wow Nebraska!

    So we stopped at the gas station across from this gem! Again, if boondocking is your thing, Nebraska is on target. Apparently most of the city parks allow up to 3 days camping at their city parks. It looks like showers are in the bathrooms but we didn’t go in. The last city park did have showers but hadn’t been used or cleaned in a while.

    Oakland City Park

    Wonderful, peaceful, beautiful surroundings

    This is a city park campground, obviously very well kept. There are hundreds of mature trees and flower beds, public pool, disc golf course, sand vb courts, playgrounds, picnic shelters, benches. Adjacent to a golf course. Dump station in park. Great little town with grocery store (lots of Swedish specialties) and Dollar General. Negatives: close to city water treatment plant but not too noticeable. Fairly close to highway, but again, not too much noise. Will definitely stay again, especially for $20/night with water & electric.

    Pretty good campground

    The campground was nice. There were showers and restrooms available for use. Access to the water without walking through rocks is pretty slim but we did find a couple spots that our dogs could get in. There is no dump station available at the park, you have to drive to town to dump your tanks at the courthouse.

    Kid friendly lakeside camp

    We only stayed one night but Willow Creek was a great waypoint. It is somewhat hard to find by signage, so carefully pay attention to GPS. Kids and families biking and walking and it has very nice paved areas. The May birding around this end of lake was fantastic. Bath facilities were a walk away but very clean.

    All By Myself

    I pulled in and found a wide open campground. I picked a site high on the bluff overlooking the reservoir. It had quite the view. It’s a newer area so trees are planted for the future. Sites are spacious with water and both 30 & 50 amp hookup. Clean dump station that also has a fish cleaning station. Playground, boat ramp, picnic area fishing, birdwatching, equestrian camp & trails, something for everyone.

    Weekend stay

    We were attending a tractor show in a near by town and this was a close place to camp. It has full hook ups for the trailer. Very reasonably priced at $15.00 a night. There is a beautiful city park to use. One negative there are Texas Sandburs where you park the trailers.
