Gothenburg Blue Heron Campground

We had a great experience at this park. We were getting in very late and we were able to call ahead, verify availability, and let them know we were coming late. Steve was extremely helpful and gave us all the information that we needed to kno, to get right to our spot, late at night, in the dark. We called him when we got there and he came right over, took our payment and made sure we were good to go. We left early in the morning so I didn't really get to look around, but from what I saw that night in the rain it looked like a nice place. It was quiet and I would definitely not have any hesitation to stay there again. Since it was dark I didn't take any pics.

Stayed one night during a trip from the East Coast to Denver, CO. Website wasn't working at the time, so i called the phone number. Spoke with Steve, the manager, who gave me a reservation for a tent site with water and electricity for a very fair price. Was looking to stay at the nearby state park, which required purchasing a car-entrance pass, and paying an online booking fee, on top of the tent site fee. Blue Heron was a much better deal and Steve was so kind and helpful. Upon arrival, he greeted us, gave us our pick of tent sites and showed us around. The campground is small but tidy and quiet. There was minimal road and train noise during the night from nearby I-80. Bathrooms were clean with plenty of paper products and soap. The town of Gothenburg is super cute. We ate at a locally owned restaurant for dinner, which Steve recommended. Nothing fancy, which was perfect for our purposes, but good food and friendly service. We walked from downtown to the little park/arboretum where the Pony Express Station was. Cute playground and informative signs about the history of the town. Steve greeted us as we were packing in the morning and made sure we had a good night, which we did. Will stay here again when next we make the trip either way. Great little campground at a fair price with friendly staff. Thanks Blue Heron!

Stayed twice now and it has nice grounds and easy pull through full hook up spots. Definitely the highlight of the stay though is Steve the camp host. So polite and accommodating. Comes out to check and see how you like your site and even if you need any help hooking up or anything and that all hook ups are working well for you. A genuinely kind man. Definitely will be staying again.

We stayed one night on a cross country trip. Easy convenience off i80, but also lots of vegetation to block out noise. Steve the manager was very kind, helpful, and accommodating. Cabins were nice, sleep 4, only one electrical outlet. Cheap tent site prices and good grass for tents. Bathrooms do have some bugs and webs, but not so bad to skip a shower. Kids loved catching fireflies. Oh and don't be fooled by the map pictures, there's no pool anymore.

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.
