Half the campground is FCFS other half is reserved. Every site has water/power/sewer   There is shade on almost every site. There is a playground for kids. All outer loop sites face the water. 

Perfect for everyone  even kids

It was really early in the season, mid April, and too cold (snow) for most, so the campground was empty.  The madern bathhouse wasn't open yet, but pit toilets were available.   Showers are by tokens (aka paid ).  Everything was clean.  Sites could have been more level, but they are doable.   Picnic tables at each site.  Prices  are $34 plus  daily pass of $6/$8 resident/nonresident.   Nice playground for the kiddos.  If you are tenting or car camping,  there are miles of dispersed camping right on the beach for only $12 night.   Beautiful white sandy beaches. 

White sandy beaches

Lone Eagle Campground is a mostly full hookup campground on the north shore of Lake McConaughy, Nebraska’s largest reservoir, located at the edge of Nebraska’s Sandhills. The entire shoreline of the lake consists of fine white sand beaches and the water is clean and clear.

We camped here in our 39’ travel trailer in a back-in, full hook up site. The water spigot is equipped with a splitter and is shared by two spots. The water pressure was so low that our water pump came on constantly when we used the water, even though we did not have a neighbor hooked up to our spigot.

Our 50 Amp power was good and the sewer hookup was fine. We had a view of the lake but because of the water being low, it is about 1 or 2 city block distance to the water. There were many sticker burrs in the grassy areas.

The bathhouse was not very clean but it is used by many people just here for day use activities. The showers are pay, 2 tokens for $1.00 and each token lasts 2 minutes. We did not have to use the showers. There is a playground for the kids and a couple large recycle containers, one for plastic and one for cardboard. The trash dumpsters are near the bathhouse.

We had 1 to 2 bars AT&amp;T and they advertise Wifi but you have to pay for it.

This lake is lovely and the campground would be best enjoyed if you have a boat or jet ski.




Campground on beautiful lake with white sandy beaches

It is an SRA campground  but has full hookup. Beautiful view of Lake McConaughey.  Sites in  Lone Eagle are not right on lake.  Sites are large with great areas to have dogs.  Cool breeze coming up
off lake even though it was in the 90's today.  After 2 nights in travel campgrounds ( they were great for that purpose)...this is back to nature.  Love it.
Word of caution though...there are sand burrs in some of the grass.  If you have pups, watch out for those.  They were not too bad.

Beautiful area

Ok so first off this was a pretty site BUT... we had a tent. There was some kind of thorny thing all over the ground it mad it very hard for my kids to play or even have a blowup mattress. It literally stuck into everything. If you had a camper it was a great spot. If your camping in a tent would not recommend this site at all. Also you have to pay with your showers with tokens 1 token is 2 mins worth. It was not worth the money to me to stay here.

Was beautiful 

Awesome location. Take note.  Water is shared and not at every site. Bring several hoses as it’s 40 - 50 feet away
