McGreer Camper Park - Big Springs, Nebraska

PFR ****
Campground ***

This is a VERY small privately owned campground, just off I-80, but in a very rural area.  It has 4 long pull-thru sites that look like they are used fairly frequently.  The sites are all grass, so the "parking pad" is where the grass is worn down. There are also 5 shorter pull-thru sites that don't look like they have been used at all.  Our site was very level.  The ground is covered with a mixture of grass and weeds, but not thickly covered.

The base rate for the FHU site is $35.  But, they add $3 for Class A motorhomes, $2 for 50amp, $2 if you want to use their bathroom or shower, and $2 early check-in fee.  So, with tax, it would have been over $43.  Definitely would not have been worth the price.  But, they accept Passport America, so the total was $24.50 before tax.

There are some small trees, but none that provide shade, or interfere with satellite reception.

Site #10
$35/night ($24.50 with PA and additional fees.
Length of stay - 1 night
Satellite - All 3 satellites
Water pressure - 30 lbs

Grand Island KOA Journey - Doniphan, Nebraska

PFR ***
Campground ***

The campground is nice, has level sites, and has no pet limit, but the sites are VERY close together!  The gravel parking pad is not much wider than the RV, and the strip of grass between sites is only about 4' wide.  So, not much room for x-pens.

New neighbors came in on both sides, 5th wheels with slides.  Our pedestal was so close to the parking pad of the site next to us that they were not able to open their slide all the way.  They stopped it about 3" from it.  The neighbor on our passenger side was actually a KOA rig, covered with KOA advertising.

Site #79
$42/night with GS discount
Length of stay - 3 nights
Satellite - All 3 with rooftop
