Via: I-80 West Bound (i.e. from Lincoln) Head west and take exit 126 at Ogallala Via: I-76 East Bound (i.e. from Denver) Head east and take I-76 to the I-76/I-80 interchange wher I-76 turns into I-80 and follow I-80 18 miles east to exit 126 at Ogallala, THEN: go north through Ogallala (approx. 2 miles, following signs), and go east at the "Y" in the road, follow Hwy-61 east 8 miles to the Lake McConaughy Visitor Center (the road will curve to the north, but simply keep following it).
Camping right on beautiful sandy beaches for pretty cheap. Tractor services for pulling out your vehicle / trailer if you happen to get stuck, or just want them to place your 5th wheel for you.
Great place to spend time with family and friends. Just wish some people weren't such slobs leaving trash everywhere. Other than that it is a beautiful park.
This is a poor camping experience. The only access to the lake are unmarked and overgrown paths. No lake view at all. The grounds are covered with sand spurs and cockle burrs; pets will be hurt. The bathrooms are atrocious. And Nebraska cannot make up its mind whether to use quarters or tokens for a shower.
