From the junction of I-80 and Nebraska Hwy 10 (Exit 279) go 12 1/4 miles south to the intersection of Nebraska Hwy 10 and U.S. Hwy 6 & 34. Turn East onto U.S. Hwy 6 & 34 for 1,000 feet. Turn north into parking lot. Campground reservations office is in the "Vintage" motel building on the east side of the parking lot. The Harold Warp Pioneer Village museum in on the west side of the parking lot. The campground is located at the north end of the parking areas, directly behind the 2 story motel building.
This is a great little campground that was perfect to stay at while we went to the museum on our way to Colorado. The spots were nice and quiet and everything worked like it should. The campground hosts were incredibly nice and welcoming.
This review is of the campground, not the museum (which we didn't visit).
Although we planned to arrive here on a Sunday and stay two nights, we were ahead of schedule and called to ask if we could extend our reservation by arriving one day early to stay three nights, and were told that it was just fine. When we arrived our campsite was ready.
Our Tiffin Allegro has a dishwasher, which we ran shortly after our arrival. When that load was done, we were surprised to discover a film of calcium on the dishes and on the walls of the dishwasher itself. A second load the next morning made the situation even worse. (A week later, there is still a lot left).
On the upside, after deciding that we should move on to our next planned stay, we called to ask if we could cut the visit short and get a refund for that the third night and they credited us for that night.
Other than water that is apparently hard as a rock, this campground might deserve three stars, but I can't imagine why some of the reviewer awarded it four and five stars. It ain't anything special. Gravel, water, electric, sewer, and packed in like sardines -- $40 a night? Maybe they were rating the museum.
We are so glad that we stopped at this campground and Museum that we had heard about. The campground is nice and roomy with beautiful shade trees. Mary was super friendly and very accommodating. We have a 35" fifth wheel and have plenty of room with ample space between sites. The museum is AMAZING!! You really need a minimum of 2 days to see it all. I wished that we would have booked a week. We will most definitely come back and spend more time.
