Area had unusually HOT weather during our stay, so we were essentially stuck in our trailer, temps in the 110 +/- degree area, but we still enjoyed the area. Grounds and facilities were taken care of-it would have been nice that the grass was mowed before stay instead of the day we left. Trees were trimmed allowing for safe maneuvering of tall trailers, not always the case. Not much to do in the area, but definitely a nice place to camp for a few days. A combination of primitive, electric only, and electric/water sites. Those sites without water could easily load up their fresh water tanks from several spigots throughout the park. Would definitely return if ever in the area again.

This is a gorgeous, green oasis! I spent a night camping on a X country drive. Setting up camp at twilight and strolling around the well kept grounds was so restorative and peaceful. The morning birdsong was also a delight! Thank you Nebraska!

No shade but it was a good experience. No long line at dump station was a bonus.

The campground was clean, spacious, and quiet. The sites were big and ours had great tree cover for the summer.
We visited the local library to get good internet and the staff were awesome and very friendly.

It was nice, however, scenically not very pretty (i.e. landscaping/mowing). Also, apparently the groundskeepers have never sprayed for bugs throughout the campgrounds, as the bug situation was, what I would consider to be, quite extreme and almost unbearable.

Had a great stay! Beautiful views of the lake and it was nice and quiet even during the 4th of July weekend which was nice when we wanted to get away for a little while from the fireworks. Everyone was respectful to each other and there were some great fishing spots too!
