Located south of Highway 370 and west of 96th Street. The Park has two entrances, one off of 96th street and the other a ½ mile farther south and ½ mile west on Schram Rd to Turkey Rd.
No reservations. $16 per night. First come, first serve. Electric only sites (30/50amp). Whiteboard near the entrance indicated which spots were open. We drove around and selected a spot then put payment in the envelope. Cash only so bring exact change!
If you want to stay more time, you simply have to pay for the additional night(s) the same way before Noon the next day. Checkout is 2pm.
Sites are plenty large for any size rig. Cement pads made a little wider with gravel for additional vehicle parking. Nice picnic table.
A water spigot was located just across the street from our site but our hose was a few feet short so we had to park in the road to fill up water (which doesn't allow anybody to pass).
Dump station is convenient near the exit but it's not quite level so we weren't able to completely empty.
Location is quiet and a pretty central spot for visiting Omaha or a bit further drive down to Lincoln.
It's a very clean city park with a lake. Each campsite has electric hookups. There are water spigot around the grounds. There is a dump station by the entrance. A vault toilet is by the playground on top of the hill. We are camped across the road from there. It's $20 a night to camp. If you pay for 6 nights the 7th night is free. 14 day maximum stay. The campground hosts are very friendly.
Rude manager/owner? Drive all the way from SC to see campgrounds in the area, it was a pretty day for Nebraska. Wouldn't even unlock the gate to let me see the sites. He did however brag that he made it work for him with all his other guests. Guess they make him enough money in the summer to be supplied all year long in cheeseburgers, as he lives on-site in his ghetto neck little of the woods. Only part of the campgrounds I got to see. Frozen mud pond, stacked up backyard tools, and stunning landscape. A must visit.
