We stayed here overnight while traveling west through Nebraska on I-80. The campground is located just south of the interstate: you turn right onto the gravel road just prior to Blake's Fast Fuel gas station and follow the road indicated by the sign, passing the enclosed dog park on your left.
You'll then come to the bridge leading into the campground. We didn't have any trouble crossing it with our heavy dually truck and our 15K-pound RV, but even though it's metal the look of it and the rattling sound it makes when you drive over it doesn't inspire confidence: a sign on it denoting the weight it can handle would be nice. Right after you cross the bridge, you'll see a sign with a map of the campground: that's the only non-digital campground map available, so I'd suggest taking a picture of it in case you end up needing it. Continue straight and turn left just before you reach the bathhouse building and park. One of the RVs that will be on your left serves as the office: a whiteboard identifies it and provides a phone number if no one is present. We were met at the office and guided to our site, which was the same one we reserved online.
All of the roads and site pads are gravel, and the sites have grass lawns, picnic tables and fire rings with lift-up grill tops. All of the RV sites are pull-through sites; all sites have water and electric (30 or 50 amp), and some have sewer. We stayed in site 25, a FHU site in the row at the front of the campground. The water and electric hookups were located at the back of the site, and the power pole only had a 50amp plug with no breaker switch. The site was long enough to unhook our 21-foot truck from our 37-foot fifth wheel, and was fairly level. Our proximity to the bridge meant we could hear folks leaving and entering the campground in addition to the road noise from I-80.
The bathhouse has shower stalls along with the bathroom stalls, and there's a small laundry room located in the middle of the building. Behind the bathhouse is a dump station, and across the road is a small playground and a grassy area for off-leash dog walking There are firewood boxes located throughout the campground, with signs indicating the firewood is free but encouraging a small donation to help feed local schoolchildren.
In terms of cell service, the best speed I saw on my Verizon Jetpack with MIMO antenna was 65 Mbps down and 11 up, and we had no trouble streaming video. The best speed I saw on my AT&T smartphone with 5G was 52 Mbps down but only 1 up. The campground business card given to us when we checked in did have WiFi connectivity information on it: it implied there would be a charge for the WiFi after the first hour, but I didn't verify that. When I tried to connect to it, I only saw .2 Mbps down and 3 up: I didn't notice any WiFi towers in the campground.

The host meet us at the entrance and escorted us to our site. Fairly clean except for dog poop. Was surprise how quiet the campground was considering how close it was to 80.

Cozy location and easy to find. Stayed for one night. Host was extremely helpful in directing us to our spot. Hot showers and quiet, you can very faintly hear some highway noise but not loud at all. Saw some deer in the morning. I would stay again it was a cute location and saved this spot for next time!

Super cute.
Host was super friendly and met us on site to guide us into our lot. Electric worked great, we didn’t use water. They have laundry to use, HOTTT showers which were just lovely, no pool on site. We will totally stay again. I was very relaxed the entire time.

Pulled in and it’s behind the gas station of the same name. Just a board map to show you the sites, no host unless you call. No pool even though it’s listed. Overall unkempt: broken glass in many empty sites and near our front step, dirty fire pita, construction going on. Needs a good cleaning and lots of landscape tending. Decent for a single night. Pictures show the “upgraded” site we received since we were clearly unhappy about the pool situation.

Easy access from I80, big shade trees, good hook ups, clean bathrooms with hot showers. Good cell reception and within a mile of the nice little town of Gothenburg. What more does an over nighter need? This is a little gem of a park that is only going to get better.
