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.
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.
