Nice, mature state campground. Plenty of tall Cottonwood trees, lakes, and paved spaces. Plan to fill water tank before setting up. This place is very crowded with locals during the weekends. The state reservation website stated we couldn't make reservations for the newer sites so we arrived with no reservation, and only a few spaces available. I think this would be a great campground "off season". Access is controlled into park and security patrol at nite. OBTW, additional state tax (park permit) is required beyond daily camping fee. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The Fremont lakes is a ok campground. Its fairly typical of Nebraska State Parks campgrounds. The showers and bathrooms are ok and usually a little dirty as they get a ton of use. Pretty typical of a public shower/bathroom that gets a lot of abuse. The showers cost either $1 or .50 (cant remember what I paid) but you do get quite a bit of shower time for that. You have a little coin operated device in the showers. So bring quarters if you want to shower in th CG. What I liked: its a nice campground and nice and level for riding bikes and going for walks. Camp sites are fairly roomy. Some are close but there are plenty of good sites. It's a good weekend campground. What I dont like: Not a lot to do. Hardly any playground equipment. The sites are very sandy so there is very little grass and the sand follows you everywhere. A lot of burs that my dog kept getting into. The term 'lakes' should be used loosely. These are not lakes, they are ponds. The boating lake is a long narrow pond with an island in the middle and you boat around in circles. Its kind of comical actually. The worst part is the noise. A train track runs along the park. You get train noise constantly. There is also a large elevator not to far away and when its blowers are running, its produces a lot of noise. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
There are 2 campground areas, one along Highway 30 and the other aprox 1/8 mile south over the railroad tracks. I would suggest taking the time to go to the south campground. The south campground offers lakeside camping, quiet shady pads, boating and beach swimming. There are dump stations and places through out the park to fill your water tank at the south campground. A state park permit is required. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
