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

Just passing through on our way to South Dakota and need a place to stay for the week. For $16, you can't beat it.

AMENITIES: Sites were electric only, but there was a dump station and two water spigots for the camp. Site 12 looked like it was close enough to the spigot for a hose to reach. (Dump station was $3 if you were not camping there and just needed to dump or fill). No bathhouses or laundry facilities.

CELL SERVICE/INTERNET: We worked the entire week with no issues. We did have 4 bars of LTE on our Verizon phone and we were able to stream tv no problem using a T-Mobile Peplink router and booster. No campground wifi.

PROS: Close to the city. Check-in was easy with camp hosts. It was big rig friendly. Saw plenty of class As and big 5th wheels. Wide pads that accommodated our 36 ft. 5th wheel with ease. There's a really large off leash dog park just across the way if you have a pup. There's also a really nice running trail around the lake that is across the street.

CONS: It is first come first serve and no reservations. We arrived on a Sunday evening, so didn't have any issues. But I would plan to get there early if arriving on a Friday or Saturday. I think they started allowing people to check in as early as 10am if a site was open. You must pay with cash or check only. If paying with cash, you need to have the exact amount and pay for the entire stay.

I stayed here to visit the zoo with my daughter. Sites were spaced out and it was quiet. Enjoyed the dog park which was a 2 minute drive away. It's tucked away in a residential neighborhood. Google maps was a little misleading. When you turn into the park area, it tells you to turn a different way. Must pay attention to the signs. I'd definitely stay there again.

Was here in early April- very early in the season and only 4 spots open on a Saturday. 75% full even during the week. FCFS so get here early.

Dog park across the campground.
Wetlands- lots of bird watching. Absolutely peaceful. No bugs.

Lovely concrete trail across the street from the campground. If you go left on it, a short distance down is a bridge to a small island, it’s gorgeous!!

at camp, across from the pavilion, toward the woods, look for the parking lot- there is a bridge there that goes across to a grassy trail and fields. Tons of mowed trails!

Website says no trash provided but that’s not true. There is a dumpster and recycling bins in the campground. Doggy poo stations and garbage/recycling bins around the trail. The only place with no trash bins was the picnic areas.

Website says cash or check only- but can pay online now. It’s tricky to find on the website. Stop sign at entrance to park is right outside host site- they will greet you, let you pick a site, and come find you in the golf cart to pay. Friendly and helpful hosts! Even came to check on people in bad weather. Be super careful driving in here- the road in the campground is bubbled up and has huge potholes. Go slow.

Concrete pads. Electric only sites. Dump station. Water spigot at entrance and 2 by pavilion in middle of the park were on in April. No shade… trees are very young but hold potential for future. No showers. Looks like pit toilets (I didn’t go in).

Firewood is $5… but no fire pits?? Not sure how that works.

Verizon had 4 bars that bounced between 4G and 5G. speed test was all over the place. Once at 16.0 down and 23.2 up, another time at 0.86 down and 6.52 up.

ATT was steady at 55.5 down/13.4 up.

Never wanted to leave here.

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.
