Wonderful WONDERFUL hosts.. they took the extra time with you as a guest and really expressed how much they wanted to ensure a great stay.. just great people and we so appreciate them! I called about 3 hours out and had the friendliest response from Patty. This will be your best stop along this route and you will enjoy the peace and tranquility along with the best hospitality! Great pride is clearly taken in the grounds, the pull-through sites upkeep and showers/restrooms... everything! Todd (I think) led us to our site and answered all questions, also filled us in with some other info that was both interesting and useful.. clearly just loves people and creating the best experience possible for them. It was affordable with Good Sam Discount and definitely would stay here every time we pass through again!

We thought we were being diligent, just not diligent enough, and we were so glad we spent one more day where we were before coming to the Double Nickel. That was the first kindness. The park is very clean, well laid out, and has great amenities. There is a security gate, pool, video games, and my favorite, large wooden swing at each camp site. Nice people and well maintained park.

It was so peaceful and serene that I can overlook the seriously pot-holed roads of which I took a tumble from when walking around a loop. Bicyclers beware! Because of the shading of the trees, and the shadows you might not see the big pot-holes until it is too late. There are not that many water sites that are easy to get down to the water from, but there is a nice boat launch of which had a sandy bottom to enter the lake with your kayak, canoe or paddle board. Also, there was a truck that came around daily selling firewood that I appreciated. The bathrooms and showers were clean.

The Lake Eaton Campground has been my favorite place to pitch a tent and build a campfire so far. The view of the mountains in the background, the silvery hue of the water on sunny days, the fresh air, and the wisps of fog rising from the lake on early mornings gives this place a special touch that's hard to find elsewhere. The campground itself is well maintained and cared for by caretakers, Zack and JJ, Cory and the rest of the staff. Speaking with them has been one of our absolute pleasures. They're both very welcoming, and with good suggestions about fishing, and trails in the area. If you happen to come here on a slow week or day, definitely take the opportunity to introduce yourself and say hello. Thanks to these folks, our first camping experience for the year has been wonderful. We will definitely come again!

It's quite a large body of water (the 9th largest in Nebraska!), so there's a lot of space to boat and fish when it is the season. The last time we were there, we saw a duck migration and got some cool photos from that, so there's definitely some cool naturey things to see. Aside from that, there's not too much to do here, but it's a nice place to relax and get some light exercise (or do some boating, swimming, or camping when it's nicer out!)

3.5 stars, rounded up. This is our second stay at a KOA, and the first thing I noticed is, unlike…read morethe Newton location, this one is gated. The Newton location was a Journey and this is a Holiday, so it supposedly has more amenities. I chose this over the Omaha/Gretna because the water feature was bigger and it looked prettier. We actually passed that one on the way here and it was super busy! This one, on a Monday, was very empty. The gal working the office was super friendly. I did not have a reservation (one is needed if you arrive after-hours because you'll need a code to get into the gate; they'll leave a map for you in a box near the door). We wanted something away from other campers because we have a loud husky. She put us near a tree-line in the back of the park. It was nice because it started getting shady around 6 pm. The amenities aren't as good here as the last KOA: Kamp K9 is not shaded; fire rings are dotted in between sites instead of one for each slot, there's no visible trash cans (looks picturesque though). There's no trails like in Newton either. There are paddle-boats and a jump pad in the lake here which is super cool. Also, the lake is in the center of the park unlike ponds at other locations so we can see it from our site. Overall, I am very grateful to have access to showers, electricity and a place for my dogs to explore. I also appreciated how far apart the sites were spaced: the neighbor we had in the spot directly to our left was as close as the people two spots away in Newton. Pros: - close to the 80 but far enough away to not hear the noise - large spaces compared to Newton - super friendly - Cruise America discount! - laundry and showers - lake and camp site views - pool and hot tub - 6 people allowed per site (we did just water and electricity, 25ft RV) - huge play ground Cons: - dog park not shaded - showers are single stall but don't say "occupied" when in use - paddle boat rentals are too pricey
