Date of Stay: July 2014

Not much to say about this place. Non-water or sewer sites (water available on site and dump station is close by down the road). Some reservable sites, some first come, first serve.

Stayed over the 4th of July and the place was a zoo for the holiday. Loud with fireworks. But other than the 4th, it was a fairly quiet campsite.

Located with easy access to Lincoln and on a lake with some hiking available.

So unremarkable I seem to have forgotten to take any pics. What can I say, this is Nebraska. :)

We stayed here while travelling from CO to WI. The campground was about 10 minutes from I 80. We could not hear the any highway noise. The campground was very clean and in top shape going into the holiday weekend. View of the lake was nice. The sites were level and paved. Many sites had electric. The park had water fill station and dump station, flush toilet and showers.

Nice shaded campground. Level, asphalt sites. Close to town. We enjoyed the children's museum while passing through.The yellow jackets and mosquitos were pretty bad here. But worst was the bathrooms. They we the most disgusting bathrooms we've seen after almost a year on the road. We chose not to shower our kids because they were so gross. Fine place to stay for a night or two but not a destination for sure.

Beautifully, well kept campground along the north side of Pawnee Lake. The lower two loop of sites are first-come-first-serve. 30 & 50 Amp service with non-electrical sites, also. The upper loop are reserve-able. A quiet area to spend the weekend. Can get noisy during holidays, especially during July 4, with fireworks, etc. I agree with another reviewer that the restrooms need updating. They are getting old and gross and it seems there were plans (at one time) to replace them, but the money seems to be more likely allocated to bigger parks like Mahoney and Platte River where the majority of the big city population congregates. They really should put at least two new shower houses in for the area the campground is spread over. Nebraska park overnight stay prices are getting overly outrageous for a stay. My wife and I prefer to stay at US Army Corps of Engineers parks as the rates are much cheaper. Nebraska parks are now $20 per night and then they hit you with a park permit of Annual resident $31, non-resident $46, with Duplicate of $16 & $23.50 and a Daily permit of $6/day & $8/day respectively, are ridiculous. Fishing and water sports are available at the lake which isn't very far away. The last two years the lake was closed to a Toxic Algae Alert, which means you don't want your dog drinking the water and people should not be playing in the lake or ingesting the water, either. Guess, I wouldn't be eating the fish, as well.

Nice for a quick night passing through but wouldn't stay here otherwise. The bathroom was very run down and I had to psych myself up to use the shower that had mildew growing on the curtains, poor lighting, and bugs everywhere. I never saw a single worker while I was there. And very little of the campground was actually mowed. It was a haven for ticks, which we found 2 on us. The boys would have loved to play football in the fields had they been moved. Basically, it could be a much better place with a little upkeep. Disappointed...

We are staying on a Monday and Tuesday, but is a very quiet and peaceful campground. Great for my not-yet-walking daughter as the campsites are nice and grassy. While there is shade, I wish there was a little more. Additionally, more trees would provide more privacy. You can see all of your neighbors. Luckily, they are all quiet and respectful. With that said, it is 90 degrees but in the shade it feels fine and there is a nice breeze coming off the lake. From our site there is a nice view of the lake and a trail that you can walk down to the water’s edge easily. The bathrooms definitely leave you feeling less than hygienic, but there is running water and and stocked hand soap so I really can’t complain. Love that the rec area has so much to offer: swimming, hiking, a park, fishing supplies that can be borrowed and much more. GPS and signs made it very easy to find and is only 20 mins from Lincoln and a short drive off of interstate 80 but feels worlds away from life on the highway.

We stayed at the Lakeview CG 9-11 July 2018 while attending ZooFest music festival and visiting Lincoln's sites: Sunken Gardens, State Capitol, Great Plains Art Museum, etc.
A beautiful, tree shaded campground with lots of open grassy areas. RV pads are electric only, so we loaded our trailer fresh water tank before leaving our last stop ( a very noisy commercial RVP in Lincoln). There are community spigots available, so it is not a disaster if one were to arrive with a dry FW tank. Our pad (#50) was a left back-in, slightly downhill, with a side pitch that required the use of leveling blocks to correct.
The public showers are interesting. Push a plunger to get water flowing, which stays on for about 10 seconds, and then shuts off. Repeat until done. Plenty of water flow, but no apparent way to adjust temperature. This was okay in July, but might not be much fun in April or May.

Lots of dogs; some not-picked-up dog poop.
Nice for families.
Pretty sunset and moonrise.
No problem with mosquitoes.

Stinky, but clean pit toilets

Pretty quiet, family place.

Nice lake but spaces are very close. During our stay park dept decided to cut the bushes that separated our site from the other down. Everyone had a dog or more. Trash was overflowing after a couple days. The pads are mostly flat and concrete. No water or sewer available. Very family friendly spot.
