I stayed at Lake Cunningham Campground in Omaha over the summer months in 2024. I had been sent to Omaha for work and was there for the entire summer. During this time, I stayed on both sides of the park, both East & West, and cannot say enough good things about the park. First off - the management/Office staff is very helpful, courteous, polite - and goes out of their way to accommodate you. Second - I travel all over the country for my job and stay in my RV when doing so. This campground is as good as any high dollar park that I have stayed in, if not better. Super safe, secure, and quiet. Everyone is friendly and the park is always super clean. I had a choice on several occasions to stay at another park that was closer to the area I was working in but chose this one instead. Third - Plenty to do at the campground. Obviously, you have the lake with boating and fishing, and a nice trail around the lake. There is also hiking, a frisbee golf course, and plenty of open areas to walk and enjoy the scenery. The C store on the East side during the summer months is nice as well. And the park also has a dump station with fresh water as well for those camping on the dry West side. While the park is located on the edge of the city - you feel like you are miles from it as it is quiet and secluded. Access to the park, as well as in and out is very easy even for the biggest of rigs. Lots of trees, more so on the West side, but even so satellite reception was not an issue. Finally - What makes the park the best around is the Campground Host that they have who actually lives on site on each side. Jim is on the West side and Ed is on the East. Both hosts are phenomenal! They interact with you daily, even if it's only a Hello, or a small conversation. They are always driving around in their gold carts making sure you are good, and they even let you know where they are staying in case you need anything. It was an absolute pleasure getting to know both of these guys, and they alone would make me want to come back again. 5 stars for the park - and 10 stars for the hosts Ed and Jim!

This was our first time to camp at Lake Cunningham. It was a very enjoyable experience, and we definitely will be coming back next year. The park was very well-maintained and clean. Having the picnic tables on a concrete pad was great.

This has become one of our favorite camping spots. We love the East side but this past weekend we were on the West side and it was great also! The campgrounds are so clean and we love having the electric, water and sewer hookups right there! Also, your bathrooms/showers are very clean and that is important!!! Our camp host this past weekend was very nice and personal. Fun activities on Sat!

Campground Response

Hi Jenny. Yes, taxes and fees are never fun! I can explain the breakdown for you. There is a total of 16% paid in City, State and County taxes. It breaks down as 5.5% Sales Tax, 1% State Lodging Tax, 4% County Lodging Tax and 5.9 % City Occupancy Tax. Every month we pay those taxes into the City and State. The reservation fee also includes a $3.00 fee for using Roverpass as the booking site and a credit processing fee. I am sorry that we have to include those taxes and fees onto our reservation price. We try our best to maintain and operate the campground and park at the highest level we can to make the experience here the best possible. Thank you so much for your feedback and for staying with us at Lake C!
