Grand Island KOA Journey

2 mi off I-80 NO traffic noise HOORAY
Most recent stay was 6/17/16 - I'm "late" in posting my review ~ We camp in a Little Rig “Tear Drop” style RV only 15' long w/o toilet or shower ~ plus we like to eat outdoors using the picnic table and set up our dining canopy for sun and weather protection and thus rely on condition of campgrounds facilities and being nearby our site ~ so our critique is focused in that area.

1st impression this is nice – a welcomed site after hours on the road next to cornfield with sites amongst the trees for shade & green grass. But then close up this is a typical KOA with very narrow close together sites packed together like a can of sardines RV park style with gravel pads and roadways. We had a picnic table but strip of grass was very narrow sandwiched between neighbor RV’s. There are many cabins for rent and a nice separate grassy area for tenter’s; all close to the restroom/showers ~ as were we. So placement of that building was ideally situated. Nice swimming pool area plus overall the grounds are clean and well maintained it shows they care.

The building held 6 individual unisex restroom/shower rooms. Down the hall on one side were 3 ea private shower rooms, opposite side were 3 ea private restrooms with a toilet and sink. At one end was an ADA shower/restroom combined. All were modern and clean. Shower rooms had hooks for clothes/towels, wall bench, and rubber floor mat for wet feet. Missing was a shelf for your toiletries stuff. Only NEGATIVE was Lack Of Adequate Ventilation; nonexistent and it got very stuffy in there. Trying to towel off dry was a joke! If you open the door a crack to get air, you’re exposed to next person in hallway waiting in line. [reason for 4 star rating] Restrooms had paper towels so you could clean up your area after and a shelf for toiletries – very thoughtful, but no hooks for towel and clothes. Same ventilation problem.

Note: there is a 2nd restroom/shower facility connected to the office building; the ventilation is so much better.

Showed up late, and regretting it because this is one of the nicest Journey KOAs we stayed at. Nice and quiet, surrounded by cornfields, which seem to absorb the noise from the nearby highway. Amazing night sky - the corn fields and minimal light pollution made the Milky Way really pop, and I actually got a good picture of Jupiter’s moons for the first time ever.
Bathrooms were very clean, and showers are big with lots of places to store stuff. We had a deluxe endcap campsite with extra stuff like pavers, a rocking bench, and a second picnic table, surrounded by a high fence. Wish we were staying more than just overnight.

We stayed this June, pool closed, not super clean, requested a pull through and was given a back in site. Picnic table right next to neighbors sewer dump. No place for kids to play around RV as it was a tight space (very close to neighbors) and all electrical, plumbing and water were inconvenient. They. Explained they were bought out yesterday so this may have something to do with it.. all in all I love KOA’s. Perfect for families!

This is straight off Rt 80 so it is very convenient. Big trees on site. The sites were narrow. Nice workers that escort you to the site. Stayed on a cold windy day but summer camping would be nice there with comfortable fire pit areas and grills.

Kids loved it, pool to jump into, pizza pickup, corn fields for days. Nice place!

We loved this KOA! The set up was great for tents - grassy large sites! Too bad we ended up sleeping in our car most of the night due to a huge storm but otherwise I’d come back in a heartbeat!

This place was/is awesome! Tent site RIGHT next to pool and RIGHT next to showers/bathrooms with AC. This was such a nice surprise after traveling all day in 95 degree weather for myself and the kiddos! Delivered dinner right to site and very friendly staff as well as guests. I would definitely come back here if coming back through Nebraska.
