Very convenient from I80 with the exception of current construction on main road in. Will say only negative (and not campgrounds fault ) is that the mile of dirt road is full of ruts so go slow! But not a big deal just a fair warning. I would definitely stay here again. Restrooms clean.

The lake is huge, great for boating, fishing, jet skiing, tubing, waterskiing, sailing, kayaking, swimming, or pretty much anything else you want to do in the water those are just the things I like to do there. Johnson lake is a great family getaway. While we were at the lake last weekend the Dawson's fair was in town and we checked that out Saturday night which was very fun. Everyone in the surrounding towns were very friendly too. Johnson lake also has a beach, I haven't gone to the beach but I drove by on the jet ski and boat several times and it usually looked pretty busy. I was so tired at the end of the weekend, I was always doing something while I was there. I feel like if I didn't have a boat or jet ski I would not have had as much fun so that's something to consider when you go to the lake. Even if you don't have either, it's still a rest place for swimming or relaxing!

There is almost no trash, people are super courteous and considerate. The water is still crystal blue and this year was warm. There's tons of places to enter the beach after you get through the park rangers. Can't wait to come back.

To my surprise, we the campsite was really great and we all had a fantastic time (and no one killed each other!) We are big campers, living in Colorado, but this Nebraska campsite was really pleasant in comparison to many we've been to over the years. I credit our campsite location (78/79/80) because it was nice a shaded, not super crowded and had a beautiful view of Lake McConaughy. The sites in the front near the restroom and shower facilities were really crowded and loud, so my experience would have been much different if we were there. The bathrooms were really nice and even the outhouse near our campsite was not terrible(you know... for an outhouse!). There is a great little store at the entrance that sells pretty much anything you can think of (including coffee!!! since the person in our group in charge of the coffee decided to sleep in both mornings!! She's fired!) All in all, we had a great time and will most definitely be back!

The park is kid friendly as it has a decent playground, as well as paddle boats for the lake, and fishing. Other recreation on site includes a baseball field (good for group events like family get-togethers), horse shoe pits, small basketball court (half court), and a small trail to walk/hike (approx. 0.4 mile). The park superintendent, Russell, is always kind and helpful. The bathrooms have running water, hot water, and showers (with hot water - yay!!). We tent camped and, in our opinion, the best spot for tent camping is at the very back end of the loop for tent campers. I recommend staying here versus staying in Halsey at the National Forest. It's much quieter here, and you can't beat the laid back feeling you have at Victoria Springs either. Nearby attractions - Nebraska National Forest, Calamus Reservoir, Fort Hartsuff, surrounding small towns, and more depending on how far you'd want to venture.

We usually…read morestay at the beach houses right across from Martin Bay, but we weren't able to secure any spots there, so we went with the only available area for a group of 10, and Eagle Canyon was it. Based on other reviews and the photos I was able to set my own expectations for the trip. I knew our cabin, the lily pad would be tight. But it was just my husband and two little kids. Our cabin was narrow, but still had a semi-kitchen. Mini fridge, stove up, small bathroom, and a bunk bed + full bed in the bedroom then a futon pull out. My 6'4 husband had to sleep on the futon because he was too tall for the bedroom, but that was fine by me because the bed was actually really comfy. Overall, we spent almost no time in our cabin. Our in-laws had a butterfly cabin which is very similar layout to the lilypad, and my mother and father in laws cabin was the eagle, so it was bigger. They had a full fridge so we stocked a lot of food there and they were a bit more secluded. The cabins we were in are tucked in between mobile campers so we started with a lot of neighbors and then they left over the week and it was just cabins. Now, onto the amenities, they have a general store with a lot of what you might need if you forgot some food items and drinks, including alcohol. They had beach toys and stuff for kids. The staff was SUPER nice and really friendly. The play ground was nice, they have basketballs for the court, and we enjoyed the pool, it was really perfect for toddlers not sure about teenagers. On our favorites was the pony rides on Sunday, our kids really enjoyed that. It was a really unique place to stay for 3 nights and I enjoyed getting all my steps in going back and forth. There is a trail to walk close to the beach. If you don't mind the 30 mins daily drive to the beach its a good place to stay.

We stayed in the Eagle Cabin which was very comfortable and perfect for what our family of 3 needed. The bed was comfortable and towels were very nice for a camping cabin. The only slight complaint/feedback I have was that the kitchen items could have been in better condition but it's a small cabin and understandable that they're kind of bare minimum. I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the entire area and overall respect of the property and other guests. The pool wasn't exactly first class but the kids LOVED it and had a blast. Very friendly service. The location was OK- a bit of a drive (10 Minutes to the nicer beach) but we would totally stay here again and highly recommend. (I also want to add that adjusting your expectations is helpful- I looked at some of these reviews and honestly, You are signing up for a camping area in Nebraska- not the Ritz. We have been to beautiful spots and airb&bs and we're pretty picky so this was exactly what we signed up for- a fun low key family camping adventure)
