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. Two 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.

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.
