I'm handicap so having a site close to the bathroom, that is pretty flat, is wonderful. Nice campground close to town for grandkids sport games. would like to see a gate that closed at night, to cut down the drive thru's, cruising after 9pm and later but not campers. love the showers!

The campground is well kept and offers most features that brings premium $$. My only knock is at $61/night full hook-up (extra fees incl) you would want to think they would offer WiFi.

Host was very nice and checked in a couple times , which I like. The site area was very clean and I love walking dogs around the beautiful property. We went the last weekend of the season and they had a Halloween contest of decorating your RV and that was fun and the Boy Scouts and camper kids came around and did trick or treating. Great place to end the season.

Wish we could have stayed longer but this was a very nice park, clean, concrete pads, easy parking and level. The park had lots of greenscape and trees, a river running through it. The tent area was very nice as well. The camp host came around to check and give us our tag. Very nice person. Didn't seem to be any long term or permanent 'campers'. We enjoyed our stay and if ever in Omaha we will stay again.

This is a beautiful, very well maintained campground. We camped with our grandkids and there was lots of space to play but the site was quiet at night. The camp host was really friendly and helpful. We plan to return.

Clean, quiet and so beautiful! Nice walking trails. Bath and shower house was clean and modern. It is convenient to 680 which can take you all over Omaha pretty quick considering its a large city. About 20 minutes to the zoo which we did twice. We will definitely go back!
