While traveling on the road toward Greta, we called and the office rep. said, "you better go ahead and make a reservation just to be safe, it is $50.00, and if you don't arrive, we will not remove it from your Visa". "We are having a rally". Considering that we weren't familiar with the area, and they were the only CG in Trailer Life, we said "ok". We got there, and close by there was another campground that would have been $28.00. I guess they snag them over the phone whenever possible. I guess they need to pay for all those cabins and swing sets, but paying over $50.00 for a KOA campground in an area with no attractions is, in our opinion, a rip off. It was an average park by a cow pasture. We would not stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
First time in a KOA. Signed up for KOA and got the 10% discount and a free 2007 KOA directory upon check in. Very friendly staff and owners. Got a nice thank you email after we departed. Nice roomy and mostly level sites but pretty much dirt roads and sites. Reliable utilities (30 amps for us). Pizza made on site and delivered to your RV! Close to freeway but relatively quiet...except for the pounding bass line of rap at 1:00 am for about an hour (two rows and three sites away). Funny, those RVers were gone by 6:00 am. Ha! Someone must have made their displeasure very obvious. We will stay there again when we pass through Omaha and will stay at other KOA parks. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Rate is water-electric only, KOA discount. Lots of trees make satellite access iffy, so negotiate site if that's important. Free wifi worked great. Our MH is 32' - bigger rigs were being carefully maneuvered into and out of sites with help from park staff. Escort to site is nice. Some sites not very level. On-site pizza shop with to-site delivery is great - and the pizza was very good, too. Very friendly, very helpful staff. We'd stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The people who run it were very friendly and quite informative. I didn't care for our site, as it was to close to the road. The price for breakfast was quite steep but overall the park was nice. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Relatively small, but very busy KOA just off I-80. Gravel access roads and pads. Our deluxe pullthrough site was long and wide, but particularly pricey ($62 after KOA Value Kard discount)as premium rates were in effect during the College Baseball World Series being held in Omaha. Unlike most KOAs, cable TV was not available. Free Wi-Fi was available. We only stayed one night as we were headed home from a 5-week trip, so we didn't investigate the amenities. Office staff and workamper were friendly and helpful. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Sites were very close to each other. Had to back out of my site because of cars and trucks to close to make a turn out of the site. Very clean park. Staff didn't know how to fill a propane tank but we finely got it done. Provide pizza delivery to your site, I thought that was a good service. Would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
It looks like the other reviewers are really bashing this campground. We liked it a lot better than some other places just off the interstate. Very nice staff. The sites are a little tight, but this is a great spot for a one night stay. There were some huge motorhomes there when we stayed there, and they were towing trailers too, so there is plenty of room for big rigs. I would say that if you really have to stay here on a certain date, you would be well advised to make a reservation as it does seem to fill up, even after Labor Day. Some noise from I-80. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I like this park in the sense that it has a lot of amenities for the kids--FREE mini golf, a nice pool and hot tub, shuffle board and a great old fashioned playground. It is your typical KOA in that you are packed in like sardines, so if you don't mind that, you will like the campground. Would be a great place for a family reunion. We had problems with our sewer drain on our site, but other than that our stay was quite enjoyable. The owners and workers strive for hospitality except I did feel that when our sewer wasn't working more adequate compensation should have been made other than just a $3 a night refund--charging us for water and electric only--we had reserved full hook ups. It was quite inconvenient to be hooked up to the sewer and then not have it work properly, and have yucky black water draining all over our campsite at the end of our stay! Perhaps a more adequate compensation for our TIME and INCONVENIENCE might have been a free night--we stayed for 3 nights total, so offering one of the nights free might have been a better compensation than the $9 refund they gave us. Despite all the hassle, we will probably return because we enjoyed the campground, and the people are pretty nice, and probably would have given it a higher rating were it not for the inadequate compensation on the sewer drain. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stayed here at this KOA campground in Gretna for 1 night. We are from Omaha, so the location is very convenient. We found the staff to be really helpful, friendly, and more than willing to help us out with sites. The KOA has plenty of shade, a nice pool, and some things to do. We were hoping for a fishing pond like most KOA's have, but this one doesn't have that. We camped here in a tent, and for the small space we needed, it was perfect. Some pull-through sites were not very big however. We also find that KOA's in general are very over-priced for what they offer - 22 a night for a tent - little steep. Overall we had a good experience, location was good for us, but for the price, we would look for somewhere else to go with more options of things to do. If the price was more around $15 dollars, would be a good place to hang out, and sit all day. If you have children, great place to let them swim, ride a bike, maybe play some mini golf, but again, that is about all. Overall, we might go again if we can't find anything around here that is at a better price. We camped here in a Tent.

I was very disappointed with the staff here. They obviously rather be doing something else rather than running a campground. We made reservations over the phone on the way across I-80 and found the woman on the phone to be stressed out and very rude. We figured she must have been busy but when we arrived we saw that was just her normal personality. They offered no answers to our questions about the area, the weather, or anything including small talk just to be friendly. I will never camp there again. The toilets were constantly backed up with no-one eager to fix them. The slow WiFi was on for a few hours and then it was off for the rest of the evening after they locked up. For the kids they had an adequate game room and pool. Shaded spots were plentiful. However their service was at such a low quality I may even write KOA to let them know about the problem. Avoid at all costs. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
We camped 3 months this year from Canada to Arizona and back and this was the worst campground we stayed at. This campground should not have a KOA designation. If you have an RV longer than 20 feet this is not the place for you. It is not "rig" friendly never mind "big rig" friendly. Try and find a place to park your truck or toad. What a joke. Any one rating this as good must be a friend of the owners. Sites are not level and if it rains the sites turn to mud. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Wanted to stay in Kamping Kabin but was more pricier than other KOA campgrounds, so tent
camped with water/electricity. Very shady and lawn area for tent campers. Gravel sites for RV'ers. Although, a mile or two from I-80, noise from freeway was quite loud. Nice, clean restrooms/showers. Friendly owners/managers. We camped here in a Tent.

Nice campground for the family--especially with young children. Had a nice playground,
free mini-golf, swimming pool and hot tub. Other things like peddle-cars and game room also available for extra charge. The only negative in my opinion was the sites seemed a bit tight for my liking. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

A better then average KOA, friendly new owner's trying hard to improve, but the sites need a lot of leveling. We camped here in a camper.
