Grand Island KOA Journey Reviews

We stayed here overnight while traveling across Nebraska. The campground is just south of I-80: soon after the pavement road changes over to gravel, you'll make a left turn and then a right turn to drive up to the office. All of the roads and pads in the campground are gravel, while the sites have grass lawns. Most of the sites are pull-throughs with full-hooks, though there are a few water and electric sites. Some sites have shade trees while others do not. Some of the roads are narrow and meant for one-way travel, but they were clearly marked on the map and maneuvering our large rig was not a problem. We stayed in site 83 in the southern section of the park (beyond the office): the site more than long enough for our 37-foot fifth wheel and 21-foot truck and pretty much level side-to-side, but the overall site was narrow, leaving us pretty close to the neighboring rig. The hookups were located near the center of the site. The campground has many of the typical amenities found at KOAs: a small convenience store and laundry room within the office building, along with bathrooms and showers, a jump pad and playground for the kids, a swimming pool, and a horseshoe pit. There are two other bathhouses located in the center of the campground with individual rooms, and a dump station on the north end of the park along the exit road. One of the two enclosed dog parks (the one with an airlock gate) is located near the dump station, while the other larger dog park with a single gate is located near the southwest corner. There is also a lot of open grass on the west and south sides of the campgrounds for walking dogs. There are no other commercial properties besides the campground at this exit on I-80, but fuel and food options can be found a few minutes west in Grand Island. The campground does serve Hunt Brothers Pizza, which you can have delivered to your rig. I will note that they don't sell propane at this KOA. In terms of cell service, the best speed I saw on my Verizon Jetpack with MIMO antenna was 58 Mbps down and 23 up, and we had no trouble streaming video. The best speed I saw on my AT&T smartphone with 5G was 49 Mbps down and 5 up. There is WiFi at the campground, but I was unable to connect to it for some reason, despite only being two sites away from an obvious WiFi tower. We would stay here again if we were in the area.

These are great places to stop at for weary travelers on long journeys
