Walnut Creek Campground

We have family in the Omaha area and we're looking for a site with 50 amp service that wasn't too far away. This is a great location on a hill overlooking Walnut Creek Lake. The sites are well spaced and there are some trees, but they're a little small to provide much shade, yet. There's all sorts of birds that come to the lakes, so it's fun to sit on the hill with binoculars and watch the wildlife. The road is asphalt and the driveways are paved. We have great Verizon service here, easy satellite dish pointing and enough power to keep our house cool. There is some jet noise from Offut AFB and the honking geese in the morning getting scared off by dogs.

Just on the edge of the Omaha metro, this campground has the best of both worlds. A nice little lake with trails and trees, and suburbia surrounding it with retail and restaurants just around the corner.

There is a camp host, and they don’t take reservations.

Water fill and a dump station is available, but there are no bathrooms or trash cans. It is pack in, pack out.

There is some highway noise, but not too bad.

A dank park - in the best way you can define the word 'dank'.

Spacious spots surrounded by lush grass. A picnic table and grill at each concrete paved, level site.

Consistently quiet, save a few hours a week when you can hear distant youth baseball games or a movie in the nearby amphitheater.

Water and either 30A or 50A hookups (same price) at each site. First come, first served, but if you call on the day you want to arrive the camp host will hold a spot for you.

A 3.1 mile walking/running trail around the pond across the street and offshoot trails that will take you to downtown Papillion. A dog park behind the RV park.

No restrooms or showers in the RV park, but there is a trash and recycling receptacle for camp patron use.

You can stay 2 weeks in a 50A, then need to move to a 30A site for a week before being able to move back to a 50A.

Verizon was zippy - AT&T tower seemed overloaded.

Just a really nice park.

Big well-spaced, levelled concrete sites with electricity. Only downside is that there are no showers (but very clean pit toilets).They don’t take reservations and it’s a pretty popular place. There were 4 spots left on a Sunday night. As someone said in another review, you can fill and a dump, but there are no trash cans. It is pack in, pack out. There is a great hike/bike trail (paved 3.1 mile loop) around Walnut Creek Lake. There is a leash-free dog exercise area (3+ acre) fenced on three sides with water on the 4th for your dog to play in. The rest of the park is on-leash only.

A nice park for an Omaha visit, the lake and trails aren't too bad either.

Access to the park is good. Signage is good. Interior access roads are paved and in good condition. Check in was easy. Find an unoccupied site and make yourself at home. The camp host will come to your site, check you in and take your money, We chose site 13 as it was a pull through. Sites are a concrete slab with a patio. The utility pedestal was to the extreme rear so you may need an extension cord and a long water hose. Amenities are power, water, table and a raised grill. The park is quiet and reasonably well groomed. There is no shopping or food service within walking distance. A shopping center is a few miles down the road. There is no cable TV or Wifi but there were a number of O T A stations. We paid $16.00 per night and feel we received good value for our dollar. We would return if in the area.

Spent 14 days which is the max stay. Not able to reserve so the park maybe full. 30 Amp with a concrete pad. Water is available but no water hookup. They have a dump station that is also used by the general public.

We stayed here to visit our son who is stationed at Offutt AFB. Very quiet campground. Clean and spacious sites. 50 amp electric, dump station near entrance, water available in 2 locations within the campground. The location is perfect, it's off the beaten path so no highway noise yet close to anything you need or want. I believe there is a 14 or 16 day limit; first come, first serve; check out is 2pm and if you want to extend your stay withing the limit then just register by noon if extending. They accept cash or check, if you pay with cash, have the exact amount. When we first arrived, we over paid because we knew we would be extending but not sure how long and thought the over payment could go toward our extension. That would be a hard no, so needless to say the camp host ended up with a few dollars in change. From then on we made sure we had exact amount for our stay.

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.

This is a truly beautiful park! No water or sewer hookups at the sites, but they are all huge level cement pads. 2wk max stay & it is first come first serve, so call ahead. For $16 it is a great place to stay for a few days
