I-80 Lakeside Campground

About

I-80 Lakeside Campground, formerly known as Lakeside Camping, reopened under new owners in May 2016. Seated on a clean private lake, our campground features 106 sites, many with full water, sewer, and electric (30 or 50 amp), as well as a community shower house, laundry facilities, and dump station. Several sites are pull-through and can accommodate any size RV. We also have areas set aside for primitive and tent camping. A small convenience store is located on-site, and includes items such as snacks, drinks, fishing supplies, camping items, ice, and a limited supply of grocery items. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer WiFi or cable.

In addition to being an overnight campground, I-80 Lakeside is also available for day use. A Day Use Pass allows access to the south and east beaches of the property during office hours. Activities available with a Day Use Pass include fishing (catch and release only), swimming, sand volleyball, a walking trail, picnic areas, and use of campfire pits. We also have non-motorized watercraft for rent from our store, including kayaks, paddle boats, a canoe, and rowboats. These can be rented by the 1/2 hour, hourly, or daily (during office hours). Only I-80 Lakeside watercraft is allowed on the lake.

The well-stocked lake houses a multitude of fish. Species include Crappie, Bass, Walleye, Perch, Catfish, and others. Fishing is catch and release only.

We look forward to seeing you at I-80 Lakeside Campground!

Very Nice Hosts, A Bit Scruffy

Just a one night stopover, actual campsites are gravel/dirt, gravel roads. Not bad for a one nighter, looks like lots of long-term residents. Had a spot on the private lake which was great for my Labrador Retriever. Caught a few small bass as well.

Bathrooms were rough and ***hot*** as hell. Giving it 3 stars. Average, wouldn't stay long term but worked well for the night.

Nice for overnight!

Arrived 7pm without a reservation. Clear list of available sites, amenities and prices. Grassy gravel pad, long enough to stay hooked up and wide enough to have slides out without feeling like you’re in your neighbor’s site . Full hookups worked fine. Restrooms older but clean. Soap dispensers and towels were empty. The campground layout was meandering so it didn’t feel like a parking lot. Some sites right next to the river, some away. Where we were the freeway noise was not so bad. Would stay here again.

Ok stop, on a lakeside

Pretty close to I80 but a So next to a lake and the Platte. Sites are gravel, pretty level. Washrooms are adequate, clean but a little worn. No WiFi or cable but some broadcast TV.

Convenient stop for one night.

We stopped here for one night on our tent camping trip across the U.S. The tent sites were well spaced, and the bathroom was much closer than it appeared on the map on their website. Very friendly staff. The bathrooms and showers were clean, and the water pressure for the shower was outstanding. There’s a lot of road noise since it’s right by I-80, but for one night it was no big deal.

Good for overnight stay

Electricity failed at site P which was a nice site further away from highway but hosts called electrician to get it back on. They got a long extension cord so we could get our slide and levelers back in an moved us to site 52 which was fine. Bathrooms and showers good.

Good only for overnight stopover

The interstate noise is loud even though staff assigned us not directly facing I 80. Staff friendly. As people started to show up, staff kept a space between us. Showers and bathroom clean. Only negative is interstate noise

Great Stopover for I-80 Travelers

We just stopped for the night to get some rest on our road trip. Without a reservation, we were able to show up and get a spot with ALL our wants 50A—water—pull through site. The lady who helped me on the phone and during check in was super kind and helpful. Campgrounds were pretty clean, though a little tight. There was a store here, kayak rentals, a small lake, and playground. This was such a convenient stop and at a great price.

We’re in a 30’ bumper pull and there were bigger rigs in this campground as well.

Convenient, right off I-80

We stayed here during the off-season, all of the facilities were closed.  The sites are level and easy to pull into.  There is a nice little lake/pond where we saw a lot of birds.  One thing to watch out for, are the little burrs that stick to your shoes.  You'll hear your shoes clicking on the floor of the RV if you don't pick them out.

It was fine

Really easy to find right off I-80. We stopped for one night only. There’s a playground which our kids loved. Road noise is kind of loud if you’re outside. We travel with a white noise machine so it didn’t bother us at night.

Nice and quiet

I got there after a long trip in the car. I parked and camped on the side of the lake with primitive campsites and enjoyed the lake. The owners were super friendly. I did have to get in the car and drive to the bathroom...

Mom w/toddler

Awesome stop! Loved the trees, lake, and hospitality. Big site didn’t have to unhook which is nice for mom traveling with toddler. Safe environment and great fellow campers. Be prepared with food and don’t forget fishing/swimming gear!

Great little retreat

Very nice park just off I-80. There's a nice little lake that you can swim and fish (catch and release only), or rent a kayak or little boat. Full hookups available, with many pull through spots as well. Each spot has a fire pit and picnic table. In the middle of the grounds is a children's playground and 2 small fenced dog runs. Nice bathroom and shower facilities, and a nice store for many of your needs. And if you need more, there's 2 truck stops (travel plazas) across the interstate. Maybe the only drawback would be interstate noise. I highly recommend.

Awesome amenities

We were nestled between the lake, the playground and the dog off-leash area. Our girls were able to go back and forth independently, as we could see them from our campsite. We’ll definitely be back!

Lakeside campground off I-80

Nestled off I-80 in Nebraska off the 179 exit to North Platte you will find a decent campground. This campground has 89 Rv sites along with multiple tent sites which have little yellow fish signs to mark them. The Rv sites are gravel, level, have picnic benches and a fire ring. There is a small fishing/swimming lake that is catch and release only. Some fish you might catch are Crappie, Bass, Catfish, Walleye and others. They have a neat incentive where if you catch a tagged fish you win a boat rental. The boat rentals available are kayaks,paddle oats, and rowboats for rent at reasonable prices at the office. There is also a small 2 unenclosed dog walk, a playground, and a walking trail. Also available are horse shoes and volleyball. The restrooms are fairly clean. The showers in the women’s are being redone and are looking nice. There is a laundry facility on site. The office/store has camping essentials and firewood for purchase. The owners took possession and reopened in May of 2016. This campground is in short walking distance from the platte River-across the street. All and all it is a convenient and decent place to stop along I-80 as you are traveling.

Small lake off Interstate

We have stayed at this campground twice when we are traveling through. They do have boat rentals, kayaks, playground, small dog park, and a small store with few items. Overall nice- gravel pull through sites - maintained overall pretty good. Smaller sites. I might give it 3.5 stars but having the lake with rentals and a small store on site was nice— so 4 stars. Would recommend.
