Lafayette Park Campground

Extremely nice park. Long trail to the lake. Shaded lots. Had to use online online reservations. Base price was 30 but closer to 35 with the fees. Water and electric hook ups. Very nice dump station. only negative bathroom could use a little updating.

Grassy with mature trees and shade. At the electrical pedestal, it gets confusing bc some pads are gravel & some grass. Enjoyed walking around the park & swimming the dog in the fishing pond. Facilities older but clean and well maintained.

Looking for a stop off the I-80, this was a great location. No one else here except one other camper. Large cottonwood trees provide shade. Clean bathrooms and showers, dump station on the way out.

Great little RV park in a park-like setting. Gravel roads with relatively level gravel sites. Shared services. Lots of big trees. Long pull-through site to leave the truck and TT attached. Cross the little covered bridge into Lake Helen Rec Area for a good walkabout. Visit downtown Gothenburg to see the Pony Express station. We liked it and would stay here again.

The sites are very confusing. We had to move to a different site because we could not understand how/where to park or hook up to water and electricity. There was nobody around at all; just a phone number which we called and texted and got no response back. The bathrooms, while clean, were old and a bit worn. It’s not a great campground but it’s acceptable for overnight

The best thing about this campground is that it’s shady and a ways off of the interstate. Otherwise it’s old and tired, with small sites and odd shared hookups between spaces. (Eg. - our water hookup was on a pole right next to our door and the picnic table. The bathrooms were old but clean. There was a cute covered bridge on a trail to the main park which was the best thing about it. There were only a few other campers there, but I cannot imagine what it would be like if it was full. We were there during a boil water order for the entire town, and we appreciated that they emailed us about it so we knew to bring our own water and not use the campground’s.

Clean sites with just a few quiet RVers. Clean bathrooms. Easy dump site. Worth the few miles to drive off 1-80. Beautiful big trees throughout the RV park and along the paved, 1-mile loop trail. Online reservations. Verizon = 2 bars.

Little ways off I 80, but worth the trip. Very well maintained , nice bathrooms and showers. A lot of space between sites, both pull thrus and back ins.

Great campsite, good facilities, plenty of space and shade. Not too noisy. Reasonable price. Definitely recommend

Convenient stopover driving through Nebraska. It's on the other side of town in a Park, away from the interstate. Traveling with a Labrador Retriever, the huge park was wonderful. Electric, water and a dump station met all my needs. Bathhouse needs some TLC, and was not clean. WiFi worked well! Cute little town with fastfood or other options to eat.

This park is water and electric only. Has a dump station at the entrance. All sites are on grass or gravel and very close together. The park is well kept with plenty of mature shade trees. Nice view of lake along the outskirts of park. We did not use facilities while there.

We stopped here, off I80, on our way east from California. It was convenient. We were the only campers, as it is off season. I used The online reservation system, but chose to stay in an alternate site, because ours wasn’t level. Our other site was listed as a pull-thru, but it’s good no one else was there, because it wasn’t long enough for our 45’ rig and our tow vehicle. So I’d caution other big rigs that they might have to unhook their tow vehicle at this park, depending on how full it is.

Quaint little city park with RV and tent camping. To occupy a tent site you MUST pitch a tent ( so no Van camping at those). Place is quiet and clean and nice peeps

Lafayette City Campground is a nice place with huge cottonwoods and larger spaces. Water, electric for $25 a night. Dump station.

We’re not golfers but apparently there is a world class golf course here.

Close by lake Helen which is a fishing lake. We were hoping to take a dunk but no luck, “No Swimming”

Very nice couple run the place and she volunteers at the Sod House Museum which was fun.

Very hot and humid in July! Not used to that as we live in the mountains of northern NM.

We only spent one night, but wish we had time to stay longer! This is a lovely campground under the shade of huge old cottonwood trees on the edge of town. Downtown Gothenburg is an easy, very enjoyable bike ride away. The staff are extremely friendly and accommodating, showing us the easiest way to get to downtown and recommending a local restaurant. Tons of space for dog walking and nice playgrounds too!

Very friendly host. Made sure my site was what I needed. Gave me recommendations for businesses
In town. Park was peaceful and clean…

The park is a quick hop off I80! Quiet, scenic and spacious! Camp Hosts are SUPER HELPFUL & kind! The shower/bathhouse is older but well kept. $25 for RV parking and showers are free! I would stay here again & I would recommend this park for families/hikers/nature lovers.

This large city park on the edge of town has a variety of great sites. Easy for large RVs that I saw to pull through. The park itself is nice enough and has a river running through it. The showers are old but clean. There are lots of things to do in town and out. ASn old pony express depot has been restored and is a visitor's center.
