Gothenburg Blue Heron Campground

A quaint, quiet, nicely shaded campsite right off the I 80. Steve, the manager was very pleasant and welcoming. I definitely recommend stopping here if you’re traveling through this part of Nebraska.

Overall great experience. Called the campground explaining that we are going to get in very late and there was a key left in the cabin door and the porch light on. Cabins are very simple. Only have one twin size bed and two single beds( bunk bed (. Very quiet campground and very clean. I would only suggest that they would put a trash can next to the cabins. Also rated it four stars because it would be nice to have at least a small microwave and maybe small coffee maker in the cabin. Would definitely stay here again although cabins or maybe a little bit pricey. I felt like they should be at least $10 a night cheaper based on the simplicity of them.

Our stay here was perfect. We booked a camping cabin the day before. There was a note online that they may change your site number, which did end up happening. I called the phone number on the site to clarify 2 vehicles were ok, and the camp host Steve called me back shortly to say yes. He asked if we could stay in Cabin 3 instead of 1, which was fine with us. Cabin 3 was great. Former KOA campground I believe, so standard bed and 2 bunks inside with mini heater and AC. Crank windows to let the breeze come through. Porch swing and plenty of parking space. Large area behind cabin to let our dog explore on leash- just watch out for ticks in the talk grass, we found 1. Sitting area and fire pit outside. No water spicket nearby but short walk to bathrooms. It was quiet and we slept great Bathrooms were clean with toilets and showers and sinks. Could use a deep clean in the showers but nothing too bad. Bonus was the ability for my husband to go for a long run on the gravel road that loops around the camp parallel to the freeway, thanks to Steve's recommendation. Would definitely stay again!

Loved this place! Blue Heron really feels like camping. I pulled in with my RV and was so happy to see it wasn’t the typical RV park setup where you’re packed in like a parking lot. The sites are nicely spaced out, surrounded by trees, and give off that true camping vibe. Peaceful, quiet, and just the right amount of rustic—exactly what I was looking for. Will definitely be back!

My husband and I are on a road trip and have been camping for several days. We found the camp on google and we decided to rent a cabin. We called ahead of time to let the manager, Steve, know we would be arriving late. He turned on the porch light for us and turned on the AC on in the cabin so it was nice and cool when we arrived. Lots of space for our pups to explore. This campground is very dog friendly which is so nice to find nowadays. There is a small dog park right outside of the entrance that we could run them in after being in the car all day. Bathrooms and showers are clean and easily accessible. You need to bring some sort of bedding but we had everything we needed. Beds were comfy and cabin was clean. Steve was very kind and came to check on us in the morning and make sure all was good. It is close to the highway but very quiet. We had a lovely night of watching the stars and fireflies, and listening to the crickets and owls. We even played tether ball that was next to a small playground close to our cabin. It was a lovely break we desperately needed. If we ever return to this part of the country we will be stopping here every time.
