We made a last minute decision to stay here while traveling out west and wish we had a day to spare to stay another night. The campground is located in a town park and had a large lake with walking trails on one side and the fairgrounds on the the other. Being the 4th of July weekend, we saw beautiful fireworks and the Pony Express Rodeo was going on at the fairgrounds. Even with the commotion, the hosts were very nice. The campground was tightly packed and there was some modest noise and firworks from other campers, but this eneded by 10:00. The restrooms were clean and the showers hot. We hope to return to stay longer next trip. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a beautiful park with lots of trees and beautiful lush green manicured grass. We weren't able to use the power as our progressive industries surge protector (it's very sensitive to protect our onboard electronics) wouldn't let the power into our coach. We run into this now and then at some parks but we stayed and just didn't use the power. There are LOTS of trains running day and night so be prepared if you're a light sleeper. I would have given this park a 10 if it had sewer hookups and the power worked. We used this park as an over night stop. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I'd like to thank the previous viewer for directing me to this park. Not only was I thrilled with the park (lots of big old tree and friendly managers) but the town of Gothenburg is really wonderful -- small town America at it's best. I pulled in to take a break on my third day of I-80 driving and loved it so much I stayed another day. I've deemed Gothenburg the friendliest town in America. The city park is on the back end of town and you can just barely hear the train whistles in the distance, which I loved. And you can't beat the price. The locals show up to play horseshoes and have picnics after church on Sundays. I highly recommend this park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Off I-80 on the north edge of Gothenburg along Highway 47 and 27th Street. Another gem for $16. Fairly large city lake just across the covered footbridge over the canal. I heard they have a world-class golf course too. And a downtown (Mayberry type) with a Pony Express station. Lots of easy hiking and lots for kids to do. Unlevel gravel sites are the only drawback. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very friendly owner, with a well-stocked store. It is nice to also purchase fuel by the office area. There are good areas for walking pets. The negative point is not having cable access. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very outdated looking KOA: below KOA standards I'm sure. The pool was not heated and full of cottonwood leaves. Bugs were bad because the entire campground was surrounded by swamps. The trees were full of screaming frogs, or bugs until sunset. A group of boy scouts came in late, 2 AM and were banging around trying to set up their swiss army cotts, right behind our tent: they slept outside with no tents! We camped here in a Tent.
Convenient campground to the interstate, okay for an overnight. Kids enjoyed the playground and pool although neither were anything special. Restroom/shower were adequate. Go slowly over the bridge at the entrance. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice staff. Park has beautiful trees. Quiet, away from the interstate. Somewhat tight spaces. Needs some TLC. If you like British candy you can buy some at their store!! The downside is the TV reception is nothing!! The flier lists several stations but we could not even get static! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This place is below KOA standard; I feel. The park needs a face lift to be more like other KOAs we stay in. WIFI worked fine. Very similar park to other parks along the Interstate. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A pretty typical Interstate highway campground. Some spaces were pretty close together, but the management did a good job of spreading people out rather than packing everyone into adjacent sites. Road noise and train noise was about average. The noise from the steel bridge on the entry road was very loud at the sites at the front of the park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
It's a KOA. The paved part(asphalt) of the site is just wide enough for the RV. Your walk way is dirt or grass. Spacing of the sites is good. Parts of the road in currently have pot holes. Would stay again but might try the city park. Wi-Fi is weak for our spot; don't know about others. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The campground itself is OK, maybe a tad below average for a KOA. It was probably bad luck, but there were apparently several long term campers in the park, and they were rude and noisy. To have your neighbor start his diesel right next to your open bedroom window, and laugh and joke with his buddies at 5:00 AM will spoil an experience. To be fair, when we complained to the manager on departure, he said he'd take care of it, but that couldn't salvage a lost overnight. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice big shade trees and well maintained with nice landscaping. The pool was nice, but there are not as many activities here as at the bigger KOA campgrounds. This is a good place for an overnight stop. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Good for them, they are holding their prices. Grass a little shabby but with all those trees it can't get much sun. Pool is large and very clean. It works for me. We camped here in a Motorhome.
At first we were concerned with this park. You can only see the office and gas pumps from the road. You enter the park via a steel bridge that is behind the park. As it turns out the sites are nice and clean and very level. The site we were in was level enough that we did not have to un-hook. The rest rooms and showers were very clean. This was an overnight stop. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Not a bad little park. Small sites. Staff friendly. Grounds could use a bit of cleaning or raking. Pool usable but also could be better looked after. Good for stop over. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This was a nice campground but the turns are a little tight for larger rigs. The manager was
very friendly and pointed out various interests around town. The laundry facilities were very clean as were the restrooms & showers. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We found this to be a pleasant campground, quite a few large trees, owner was very friendly and
gave me a shaded spot on my request, we didn't have a reservation. Kids enjoyed the pool and playground, though I would say the playground could have used
some repairs. At night there was some interstate noise from I-80 and train noise also, but we have a hybrid camper so we get more outside noise. This
place was OK for an overnite stop. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
