Conestoga State Recreation Area

Very relaxing and quiet place. Sites with electric hook ups available, dump station on location. Will definitely stay here again when in the area.

Pros:

• closest to downtown Lincoln amenities
• electric hook-ups with a few different terrain options for a site
• lake view approx 100 yds
• no one else camping during winter here (except one van for a night)

Cons:

• lots of locals drive through - including the campground drive if they choose
• state park with a fishing and small fowl hunting area - therefore gunshots a little too close for comfort - or not at all if you are not comfortable with
• the neighbor across the road (75yds or so from campground), has a dog outside at night that barks constantly - though there are coyotes heard within the same amount of distance…also sounds to be comfortable with in order to camp here

Two weeks stay and ready to move along where there is a trail system to hike without hunting concerns, local traffic, barking dog - coyotes However have enjoyed the campground / space to ourselves after our months of busy campgrounds on the Colorado front range

I like this site because I can get there within 20 minutes from my house in Lincoln. Paved roads and parking lot. Easy to use boat ramp. If you enjoy dock fishing this is the lake for you. They have several individual docks to fish off of. The catfish will come right up to them at night.
