Camp-A-Way

We had planned to visit with my family in the area. We had planned on visiting the following week, but my mother became worse and we needed to come immediately. My husband called and the manager said to come on and she will find a space. We arrived and were able to see my mom before she died. The manager refunded the extra day and cancelled the week following (that we had originally planned to come). We really liked the campground. It was super close to the interstate, but the noise was like white noise, not loud. They have some sort of an activity pass and during the evening, kids were having fun with a little train, bikes, slip and slide, and other fun things. If you are worried that activity would make noise so you can’t sleep, nope, it was all put away by a reasonable hour. There were pull through for remaining hitched, and back in. There are lots of sites. Highly recommend!

Though this is not our type of camping experience these days, Camp A Way was brimming with adorable family fun from the golf cart pulled “train” to the jump pad, swimming pool, and water balloon game. It was a bustling campground with lots of families, campfires, and pets…a little too busy for us! What we did appreciate about Camp A Way was the easy access and check in process , simple navigation of the park and hook ups, and it being well maintained. Would definitely stay again for a quick overnight:)

Great shade trees, nice sites (a little tight) and lots of grass. Bunnies and squirrels everywhere had our Terrier on high alert the whole time. Super nice staff, well organized family activities and a large field for dog play and disc golf. It didn't feel hectic or intrusive because it was so well managed and the location is so nice. VERY little highway noise and less than 5 minutes to downtown. Great place to stay!!

We got a call about 100 miles out asking us how soon we would arrive. They explained that when this park was built (over 50 years ago!) things were done differently. Seems our site is often used as a shortcut to bring rigs to their sites. What had we gotten ourselves into? Turned out to be one of their best sites (B5) in a gorgeous park. It was wonderfully peaceful (especially since it was a weekend) but anyplace that has a water balloon machine is probably crazy during the summer. There’s lots here for kids to do! I was also told that weekends when the local college has games, alumni love it here. The sewer dump was elevated, requiring an elaborate piece of sewer hose engineering to overcome some basic physics. Internet bandwidth is limited but it was more than adequate for emails, etc. We had a wonderful experience here but I’m sure glad we visited during a calmer time & got one of their best sites!

Overall nice stay! The pool area was nice, lots to do for the kids. Pretty quiet all around. The staff was friendly, aside from the few times I asked for any amount of quarters other than a full roll, it seemed like they were inconvenienced, having to go all the way to the back room to make change. That issue probably can be easily solved by putting a quarter machine in the laundry room. Would definitely stay again!

This park very much presents itself as a family-friendly site, and I leave it to others with children to speak to whether it delivers, but it certainly seems to try.

In our case, we simply needed a convenient base from which to explore Lincoln, and this fit the bill. It also has lots of trees, although it is a bit crowded. They have a pool and a sauna. I can’t speak to cleanliness because I didn’t use public facilities. Some might find it noisy since it is adjacent to the highway. We were fine with it.

We got a beautiful back in. Staff was friendly and adjusted my stay because I booked it for the wrong night!

Nice grassy area by our site to hang in the sages of the trees and walk the dog around.

Kids had a such a blast, it was welcomed fun after a few long travel days. Water slide, bouncing things, water balloon fights, slushees, ice cream, so much fun!
