Camping in Nebraska: Grand Island KOA Campgrounds
Our stay at Grand Island KOA Journey in Doniphan, Nebraska had two things we appreciated after a day on the road: a level, shady RV site and thin-crust pepperoni pizza timed to arrive after setup. It was quiet at night during our visit, too. Here is what we found, plus the details to check before booking your own stop.
They offer on-site food service with pizza delivery from Hunt Brothers Pizza. You’ll see it right when you walk into the office for check in.
We actually ordered their thin crust pepperoni pizza when we checked in. We were able to schedule it for delivery. So we had it scheduled for it to be delivered about the time we would be finished setting up. They also offer wings, cheesy breadsticks and a breakfast pizza that can be delivered in the mornings. In the gift shop they sell drinks, ice cream bars, coffee and souvenirs.
The Grand Island KOA Campgrounds not only offers tent camping sites but also RV parking spaces as well (50 Max amp, 85′ Max Length). They offer full hookups and some sites come with free cable tv and free wifi. Our site was pretty level so set up was a lot easier and faster. We love this site because it was nice and shady which helped keep our camper cool.
Cabins
They also have Studio Lodges and a 2 room Camping Kottage with bathrooms, showers and kitchenettes and their rustic cabins have small fridges and all have air conditioning! So if you’re traveling and enjoy the peace and quiet that camping offers but you don’t have a camper. Then this is for you!
The Grand Island KOA Journey campground has a wide variety of amenities for all your needs. They have shower and laundry facilities at the time of our visit. The bathrooms were well maintained and clean. They also offer a pool, but we didn’t get a photo since people were in it enjoy the nice cool water. All these features make it an ideal destination whether you are looking to enjoy the great outdoors or just need someplace to stay overnight while traveling through Nebraska.
Something for the kids
The Grand Island KOA didn’t forget about the kids. They have a nice playground that your kids can play on while you are setting up your campground! There is a “BIG KIDS” swing under the tree so you can watch the little ones in comfort. They also offer a game room with air hockey and foosball as well as a horseshoe, volleyball pit and basketball court. You can also rent pedal bikes from the main office.
Dog Friendly
Grand Island KOA is also dog friendly! They have a dog park where your four legged family member can stretch their legs after a long day of driving. Please remember to keep your pets on leashes at all times when at the campground. This is for your safety , the safety of your pet and other campers.
In the spring, enjoy thousands of migrating Sandhill Cranes and make our friendly KOA your home away from home while visiting the Nebraska State Fair in August.
So whether you are just looking to get away for a few days or just need a place to stay on way to your destination. Grand Island KOA Journey has you covered!
Is KOA Rewards worth it for this trip?
Before you book, compare the eligible member rate with the cost of joining. Our KOA Rewards guide explains the current fee, daily discount, points, and a simple break-even example. A one-night stop and a longer KOA road trip can lead to different decisions; use your own eligible spending rather than assuming membership always pays for itself.
