Nice concrete pads and full hookup for RVs with gated entry. A free playground and beach (with admission fee) are also nearby, and the restroom/showers are nice. A lot of space between sites, but no trees at all which makes the sites feel exposed, less cozy, and kind of like camping in a parking lot. Not quite five stars because there are tons of stickers/sandburs in the grass and kids couldn't play much outside. The top of the sewer pipe is high off the ground which makes for a mild inconvenience getting a good seal on the connector when emptying the tanks, but not a deal breaker.

This park is beautiful, and fairly well secured. Gate code access is needed to enter. Our campsite sat right on the water. These spaces are very level all of them have poured concrete a fire pit and a very nice secured picnic table. It is extremely easy to navigate especially with a very large RV (42-ft fifth wheel). The shower house was nice clean although we did not use it as we have a spacious on board bathroom. Since this park is so new there are no mature trees so not a lot of shade. Full hookups will give you plenty of power to run your AC. I would highly recommend this park. It is very well kept, clean, and easy to navigate.

Very quiet and clean campground that requires an access code to get past gate. All the sites are level concrete with good water pressure and stable electric. The sewer connection uses an unthreaded drop. Our spot was spacious and with a great view of the lake. Not too many bugs either!

I loved it here. The views were fabulous. You can see the lake from every campsite. The camp host Jim and his wife Lisa were so welcoming. The rest rooms were clean. The huge playground was great for kids. I will be back. This location was close to all your needs for food, groceries, and services. We visited Omaha and rode miles of bike trails. Thank you for a wonderful week.

On our way out west and found this beautiful little campground outside of Omaha. All cement roads, huge concrete pads, sturdy picnic tables and fire pits. Full 50 amp hookups. Great park with a beach area and lake plus bike trails. $26 a night. I’m editing this post because this campground is now a 10+ today. We were able to ride our bikes from our campsite all the way right into downtown Omaha on beautiful trails and over the Bob Kerrey pedestrian bridge. About a 12 mile round trip. Perfect.
