We ended up choosing this spot as I’m assuming we’re “off season” as many other surrounding places were closed to camping this time of year. This place looks like it has a lot of time time campers. The sites are tight, like right on top of each other. The office closed early but they had the information outside.
The bathrooms were clean and warm. The playground was taped off with caution tape.
This was an overnight stay, the traffic is loud but not overwhelming.

We stayed here for a mountain bike race weekend. Nighttime is great for stargazing and they have pretty stellar sunrises. We enjoyed the archery range and took plenty of walks. The shower facilities need a lot of updating and the RV spots are pretty dated with narrow roads. We were glad it wasn’t a weekend with a full campground and we think it would be pretty hectic during their peak season.
GuideGreat 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. Loved a lot of restrooms. Pool was nice. If you are tent camping great sites.
TravelerWe spent Memorial weekend here in 2022. We had to park in a designated parking spot and walk in to set our tent. The site was shady and came with a picnic table, fire ring and We were right on the shores of the lake. It was a beautiful and very relaxing to hear the waves, although the wind coming across the lake was mighty fierce and destroyed the canopy that we had over the picnic table. And the beating of the tent all night long was a little hard to get some decent sleep. But the area was nice and close to the restrooms and spacious campsites
GuideAfter traveling all day it was nice meeting a happy face and great customer service. Sites are long but thin and we were able to stay hooked up for the next day travel. Pool was nice and refreshing.
ScoutWe camp here 3 4 times a year. Love it.
GuideVery clean campground. Many sites are right on the water. Campsites are very close together.
LegendOnce we exited off I 80 per campground(CG) instructions, we traveled following our RV GPS, WAZE, and Google Maps on the back roads to the state recreation area(SRA) and specifically the South Shore CG. We saw the South Shore sign that was somewhat hidden by trees and also a sign for the dump station and potable water. We pulled into the dump station for potable water and to dump what we had from our overnight stay as we were going into back-in site 80 with only electric(50/30/20 AMP). There was a small unmanned check-in gate where we got our Nebraska State Park Pass, but no one was around to stamp our pass so we followed the signage to site 80, which was a fairly easy back-in. We were amazed at the lake view as this site sits up on a hill about 100 yards from the water. Our name was on the post as we had online reservations(there are some first-come-first-serve sites here). We could have put out our satellite, but we got a multitude of OTA channels out of Lincoln, NE. We also got 3 bars on Verizon and 2 bars on T-Mobile. The South Shore CG has a mix of FHUs, 50 AMP, and 30 AMP-only RV sites. Note that when the utilities state Electric Plus, there is no water at the site, just 50 AMP electric plus a 30/20 AMP as well. There are also tent areas within the SRA campgrounds. The sites in general are spaced so you are not right on top of your neighbor. However, the sites that run on both sides of site 80 have no one behind with lots of space down to the lake. This was a very nice CG that we would not hesitate to visit again.
ScoutClean and friendly campground. Very clean bathrooms. Surrounded by cornfields.
TravelerThis KOA Campground was very pleasant, and the pizza with wings tasted great! Staff member brought our food to our campsite. The staff were friendly, helpful, and informative. Definitely recommended! Our campsite was clean. The shower house was clean, and there was plenty of hot water.
GuideAfter a day of driving check in was easy. Loved the pool. It was clean. Showers were clean. You can order a pizza in the office. The two ladies working we’re awesome and even delivered the fresh cooked pizza to our site. Lots of activities for kids. Playground, bikes, basketball, pool. Some sites had trees. Mine did not but we were close to dog run.
TravelerThis campsite has lots almost on top of one another. There is hardly any room to set up your tent. Adjacent campsites are so close together you can hear everyone's conversation.
On a positive note the pool and bathroom amenities were kept up.
LegendWe 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 !!!
GuideThere were a lot of day use areas and tent sites. It was very beautiful and open. We went in the off season so we had a lot of space to ourselves.
ScoutMy first time camping in Nebraska. Ive been to several throughout the US. Loved the spot, I was right next to the lake, great swimming access. Downside drinking water access was difficult.
GuideI’ve been coming to Branched Oak since I was a kid. I love the vibe of the park. It’s usually packed and the beach’s are always full but it’s always a really good time. Second time out with the camper this year. Got my first sunburn of the year also. Had great neighbors and a super fun time! Will definitely be back.
TravelerThis campground is now CLOSED for the 2021 season.
Today is October 16.
GuideArrived after hours for a quick over night stay. Only down side very dark and hard to find entrance. Sites are fairly close to each other but campsite is very nice and kept. Our site had a nice unobstructed view. Nice shower and restroom facilities. Would stay again.
TravelerThe campground was nice, but sites were tiny and close. The pool was nice, as were the showers and bathrooms. Very clean. The ladies in the office were wonderful. The farm traffic was loud in the morning, but we were up to leave anyway. Overall, we would probably stay again.
TravelerThis 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.
RangerMiddle Oak Creek campground has a row of 10-12 electrical spots that are perfect for shore fishing, kayak launch, lakeside views! South Shore campground sits lakeside but at a higher elevation so water access is trickier. Nice playgrounds at both camp areas. Free showers are a great amenity as well. This One of our favorite places to “get away” to for fishing, camping, etc. Be warned: VERY BUSY campground as it is super close to a highly populated city. Plan ahead and reserve a spot or go early in the week otherwise you won’t get a pad!!!
GuideThe sites are tight, our awning is basically touching the next RVs slide . Not much shade
GuideStayed on our way to Colorado from Indiana. Right of the interstate. Well stocked store. Pool full hookups and pull through. What more could you need for a good nights rest.
ScoutFor tent campers South Park is a great little spot. Shelter and power.
Water outlets were locked save 1.
No toilets or Porta Potties.
If RVing, you'll need to go to the town hall to get the septic and water unlocked.
GuideThe camp sites are forked out like the cul-de-sac properties, each facing the road and having a large portion of the lake or greens to themselves on the back. It has plenty of greenery and is very well-maintained. It has a very clean beach area, a boat and kayak landing area and many children parks. There are benches placed at scenic points that offer breathtaking views of the lake in the memorial park. The restroom in the campground was clean albeit flinty. No stores in the park-office (which was anyway closed due to the pandemic), so bring everything (firewood too) along. The nearest gas station is a 10 minute drive towards Raymond.
ScoutThe camp sites are clean and always have electricity that works. has good shade. The bathrooms / showers could use some updating.
TravelerI was surprised how quite the sites were with it being so close to I80. The shower and bath houses are very clean. There is lots to keep kids busy ... our 3 year old spent most of the evening catching toads.
