Ogallala / I-80 KOA Journey

Welcome to Ogallala/I-80 KOA Journey. We look forward to having you as our guest.

Check-In is at 1 pm Mountain Time (no early check-ins allowed). Make sure you note that we are in Mountain Time Zone. If you are traveling from the EAST, you will change time about 20 miles before you arrive at our location. There are 2 KOAs in Ogallala. We are I-80 KOA, so make sure you follow directions when traveling here to 221 Road East 85 Ogallala, NE.

We are conveniently located just off I-80 in Ogallala. Our property runs right along I-80, which makes it very easy to get on and off the interstate. 2 truck stops are within walking distance for quick and easy fueling. We do not have propane on-site, but a local company (SAPP Brothers on Highway 30) offers propane during normal business hours.  We are just nine miles from Lake McConaughy, which offers fishing, boating, swimming, and lots of sandy beaches. Ogallala has a lot of history and was the end of the Great Western Trail. Ogallala is known as Nebraska's Cowboy Capital. There are many things to do within a 200-mile radius. Come and stay with us - we look forward to having you as our guest!

Ways to Stay for Every Kind of Camper
If you are looking for Tent Sites, we do offer a few sites that come complete with water and electricity and a fire pit, as well as access to our restroom and shower facilities. A kitchen sink is available at Town Square for you to do your dishes (please do not use the restrooms for dishwashing). If you have an RV of any size, we have a spot for you. We offer a few back-in or pull-in sites that have a picnic table, and you can request a fire pit if you would like one. We have brand new KOA Paw Pen Sites, where your pet will have its own on-site fenced K9 area to enjoy and be let loose (please do not leave pets unattended) while you enjoy your own private patio with a bbq and fire pit area. We also have KOA Patio Sites with your own private patio area, which includes a bbq grill and your own fire pit seating area. We also have long pull-through sites with full hooks ups that will allow you to stay connected if you choose. All sites have a picnic table for your use, and you can request a portable fire pit if you would like to use one. Are you traveling with friends or family? Reserve one of our full hook-up pull-through BUDDY sites that will allow your doors to open to each other, and you can gather between each other's sites (fire pits available on request).  These sites do have size restrictions. 

On-Site Amenities
Our amenities are the little extras that ensure your stay is as comfortable and pleasant as it can be. We offer two KampK9s for your four-legged friends to be able to get out and run after being couped up from a long day on the road. We offer gaga ball, corn-hole, horseshoes, and a playground for your use. We do not have a pool, but Lake McConaughy is just 9 miles north of us and they have great places to swim. We also have a Town Square area that has charcoal grills, a built-in fire pit, a kitchen sink, and a seating area for you to gather and make new friends. We have a laundry room that is open 24 hours a day for your use. There is no change machine, but we can give you quarters at the front desk during business hours. The laundry room does have cable tv for your use. We take pride in our clean restroom and shower facilities that are open to ALL guests and are open 24 hours a day for your convenience. Our store is open during business hours for any of your needs - we have food, RV supplies, and gifts. We have firewood and ice for sale and we can deliver them to your site. Do you have mail you need to send? We offer stamps for sale in the office and we can mail letters for you daily; just bring them to the office or drop them in the mailbox next to the night registration. We mail these items daily. We have a friendly staff that is here to serve you and help in any way to make your stay the best one yet. We are close to I-80, which makes it very convenient. There is also a train track about a mile away, so you will hear trains as well.  If you are worried about noise from the interstate and/or trains keeping you awake, please ask for free earplugs at the front desk upon check-in.

Off-Site Amenities
There is lots to do within a 200-mile radius. We are just 9 miles south of the beautiful Lake McConaughy. Here you can boat, fish, swim, and hike around the lake. In town, we have the Petrified Wood Gallery, Boot Hill, and Mansion on the Hill

Food Options
Have you had a long day and don't want to cook? Valentinos Pizza will deliver directly to your site. They have pizza and pasta and great broasted chicken.  We have menus available at the office. When you order, let them know you are staying at I-80 KOA.

This weekend was our first official stay in a KOA and Ogallala did not disappoint! From the staff, to the grounds, the facilities, the other campers and the deliveries, everything and everyone was amazing and welcoming. We are already planning our next trip!

The owners here were amazing! The restrooms and bath house was immaculate! Everything was well taken care of. Would definitely stay here again if passing through. Highly recommend!

Super disappointed with this KOA. We were going to pass through Ogallala on our way back from Colorado. Headed out early enough to arrive around 7 or 8pm but ended up having some really bad luck on the way with both technical issues and a flat tire on our camper. There was no way to get to the campground until way past midnight. We pretty much called them right away (which was only a couple hours after making our reservation) to let them know about the issues we encountered on the way and that we were not going to make it. Since we literally had just booked our site we asked if there was any flexibility to provide us with a refund (partial or full) or even a transfer as we knew we were going to seek out another KOA. Kristy just gave us the "Spiel" about the cancelation policy and was not interested in the least to show any kind of empathy or compassion for our situation. When my husband asked whether there was anything else that could be done or anyone else he could speak to she said that she was the only one with authority to do so. We typically have nothing but wonderful experiences with KOAs and their owners so this is truly unfortunate. We will also be reaching out to KOA Hq and cross posting on social media. I have been working in Customer Service for nearly 20 years and know that kindness, compassion, and collaboration are so important. Especially when you're in the hospitality business. Again, totally understand "policy" but a bit of humanity should still come first.
