If rated against all electric only facilities, rating would be a "10". This is an easy in and out of the fairground parking lot and any size rig can easily fit with no obstructions to enter or depart. The area is a large, level gravel parking lot that is immediately on your right as you turn east off Ave N through the Fairground's gate. CAUTION if you are following a GPS with the address -- DO NOT turn off Ave N until you get to the main gate which is directly into the parking lot. The gate is very wide with a bordering white wood fence with houses along west side of the street. There are eight light poles, spaced well apart in the parking lot and electrical hookups are mounted on the poles. Most of the poles had multiple 20, 30, and 50 amp receptacles. There are also two sites with 30 amp power and a water hookup on the grass alongside the fence and trees parallel to Ave N. There is a free dump station. Power was good, and it was very quiet here.There are no assigned spaces; it's just a large, well groomed gravel lot that can easily hold 50 rigs for dry camping if the power sites are taken. You just park wherever you want and then go into the Fair Office and pay or use the drop box next to the office door. Dry camping is free. We camped here in a Motorhome.

No bells and whistles: just an open area next to the power poles. One 50amp and three 30 amps at each of 6 poles in the west parking lot. Easy to get to, and close to everything. The nice town of Kearney is growing. There is a dump station along the white fence. Nice place to stop for a couple of nights while you see the sites. Archway was nice, and the people are very friendly. Great place to let the dogs run, but watch out for the construction workers driving in and out of the lot. The station where you come in, is at the beginning of Ave N. Campground has a fair price and a good price for propane. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

There is a 50 Amp and three 30 Amp hookups each, on a number of poles in a large parking lot spot within the fairgrounds, just inside the entrance on N Street. There is a dump station. There are no water hookups in the camping area. It is a good place to stop for a couple of nights. We would use these facilities again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is abandoned!! We pulled in here late in the day looking for a place for the night. It is obvious it has been closed for quite a while. Weeds were two feet high and dry and dirty. No one in the office. Don't bother stopping here. There are no other RV parks in this town, at least none that we could find and the locals didn't know of any, either. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This rating is based on an overnight stay while traveling across the country, not for a long term vacation stay. We stopped in the Kearney area for one night while traveling to the Grand Tetons. We didn't even know this place existed and had planned on staying in the parking lot of the nearby Cabelas, but it was quite warm out and we wanted electricity for the night to run the AC. It's not much to look at, but the bathrooms were clean. There is a go-cart track nearby, but it didn't keep us awake or seem very busy and this was on a Friday night. This place was great for an over night stay while traveling I-80, with lot's of restaurants and a Wal Mart down the road, you could pick up necessary items for travel. If I had something to do in the area for a few days I would have no problem staying here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

A great place to see the cranes migrate in the spring. Very nice campground, lots of open space. Showers/restrooms dated, hard to rate older facilities as they were as clean as old facilities can be. Did not use shower. $18 for electric only. Be sure to stop by the Fort Kearney State Historical Park, interesting displays. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

$18 electric (plus $5 more for day use fee--g-r-r-r) = $23 for an overnight. Very pleasant park, easy off/on I-80, but far enough away to feel like one is really in a wilderness. Sites varied greatly in terms of maintenance and degree of levelness, but we enjoyed the large amount of space/elbow room. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Off season camping so the restrooms were closed. The campground was lovely. The facilities were very well kept. We were the only people camping here, but there were people using the park to walk, etc. It was a few miles away from the roads, so very peaceful and quiet. I would definitely stay here again. Price with electricity during the summer season would be $17. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Rate reflects a weekly off-season rate. This park is fairly new and does not have trees for shade. The sites are pull through and long enough to park the tow vehicle behind the motorhome with room to spare. Our site is almost perfectly level and does not have the large rocks in it that were mentioned by another reviewer. Utilities work well, and Wi-Fi has been trouble-free during our two-week stay. There is no cable TV, but there are several PBS stations as well as a couple of network stations. We have not checked out the shower/bathroom area, so cannot comment on that. Be aware that this part of the country is flat farm land and the wind can blow really hard at times. This is a great park to use for a home base while exploring the museums and attractions in Kearney and the surrounding areas. We will certainly choose this park again when we are in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Friendly hosts and level sites. The park is located on farmland converted to a campground and is near to a farmhouse. There is a large utility tower of some sort located in the campground. Looks like it is a newer campground with small trees planted and some grass. Whatever shortcomings the campground has is offset by the welcome and attitude of the hosts. Sites are closely spaced, but not uncomfortably so. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here due to good reviews on this site, but evidently we're looking for different things in a campground than some others are. The on-site manager is friendly & helpful, and some of his comments indicated the owners want to please, but the grounds are a bit rough, and a lot of work still needs to be done. All gravel pull-throughs, many quite long. For those concerned about it, some high-voltage power lines run right over part of the campground; a cellphone tower stands right next door. Getting here is a bit tricky: follow the existing roads to the Arch monument and the campground is just a short distance off one of those roads. Not much road noise, as it is not right on the interstate; a plus. No shade; it will be 15-20 years before much comes of the now-tiny trees. There are 2 bathrooms, each of which is a one-person full bath: toilet, sink & shower in one room. Bare bones but clean. For us, this campground has a ways to go, but it makes for a relatively convenient & clean overnighter. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
