It was so clean and it appeared to be brand new. It had really great seating options, I loved every moment! The tube that came with wasn't big, but we had a lot of fun cruising down the lake, and putting around beaches. It had a loud radio and we enjoyed our 6 hours on the lake. Enjoy, because it goes so fast.

I grew up in Nebraska and really haven't been back much since I left over 20 years ago, so when my…read moreextended family suggested camping in Nebraska, I was less than thrilled. To my surprise, we the campsite was really great and we all had a fantastic time (and no one killed each other!) We are big campers, living in Colorado, but this Nebraska campsite was really pleasant in comparison to many we've been to over the years. I credit our campsite location (78/79/80) because it was nice a shaded, not super crowded and had a beautiful view of Lake McConaughy. The sites in the front near the restroom and shower facilities were really crowded and loud, so my experience would have been much different if we were there. The bathrooms were really nice and even the outhouse near our campsite was not terrible(you know... for an outhouse!). There is a great little store at the entrance that sells pretty much anything you can think of (including coffee!!! since the person in our group in charge of the coffee decided to sleep in both mornings!! She's fired!) All in all, we had a great time and will most definitely be back!

Thank God I visited on a Monday, but there were still some folks tubing. I didn't see any other kayakers, however, and again, felt like I had this river all to myself. It's a wonderful feeling. This time, I tried a 3-hr trip, which I still finished in just under two hours, but was almost 10 miles. It is such a joy to kayak on a river that isn't that deep, but deep enough that the waves carry you along, and you feel like they are picking you up and passing you on to other waves to guide you home. So, like before, Little Outlaw should be your ONLY destination to canoe, kayak, or tube the Niobrara.

We love that they can pull their campers right to the beach and create your own camp. There are different packages so you can get all you need. This year we added another camper to accommodate another family. It was great to have 3 different campers to relax in during some chilly days. We also ordered fire wood and corn hole boards a picnic table and chairs. I highly recommend all of these. We also rented the boat with the slide and was unable to use it due to high wind. These guys KNOW what they're talking about when it comes to weather, I can assure you they don't cancel boats out of any other reason than safety. We ended up with a pontoon the next day (no slide sadly) and Jason said very sternly wind was coming by 4:45pm and he wasn't off by the minute, the wind picked up so fast it could have become a dangerous situation with the little kids in the water and we raced back off the water. I really appreciate their concern and they are super helpful even if we have to call and wake them up :) Really do enjoy our time here every year because they make it so much fun.

So we went to a different boat rental place and they have heard that they cancel on people a lot. So if you want a better boat rental choose Ski Patrol! We rented from them without an issue and were able to enjoy our vacation with friends. Kind of disappointing to be lied to maybe you shouldn't have that boat out to rent if your not going to rent it!

This made everyone's day MUCH more fun. They were right there when we got to the finish spot and helped pull the canoes out. Thank you for a fun and safe day! Also, I noticed another review that was frustrated about an extra fee for leaving the canoes 100 yards away from the landing. That's a football field! And if it was down river getting them back would not be trivial - they'd have to carry them in the river or through the brush. They give a very detailed map about where the landings are and there are signs visible from the river.

On the second day, road conditions delayed us from our agreed upon start time. To top it off, we forgot the keys to the vehicle we left at our ending point. Doug was wonderfully patient and helped us through our problems. Grahams is definitely our "go-to" outfitter in the future! As a previous critique expressed frustration after landing their boats or floats 100 yards past their designated area, I would remind all area visitors that outfitters are private entities that may or may not have agreements with their neighbors for them (or you) to come on their property. Please study maps and understand where you are allowed be "off" the river. Lining up where you will come off the river and permission from other property owners if you want to walk on their ground before your trip ensures you are not trespassing. Happy travels!

It's not far at all off I-80, which makes it super convenient, but once you're there it feels like a whole escape. The views are absolutely beautiful -- wide open skies, calming water, and just that tranquil energy that makes you slow down and breathe a little deeper. If you're up for a tiny adventure, there's a slight climb down where you can access the caves and get closer to the water. It's such a cool experience and definitely worth it if you don't mind a little exploring. Whether you're looking for a quiet moment, a scenic drive stop, or a mini adventure, Lake Mac delivers. I'll definitely be back.

We usually…read morestay at the beach houses right across from Martin Bay, but we weren't able to secure any spots there, so we went with the only available area for a group of 10, and Eagle Canyon was it. Based on other reviews and the photos I was able to set my own expectations for the trip. I knew our cabin, the lily pad would be tight. But it was just my husband and two little kids. Our cabin was narrow, but still had a semi-kitchen. Mini fridge, stove up, small bathroom, and a bunk bed + full bed in the bedroom then a futon pull out. My 6'4 husband had to sleep on the futon because he was too tall for the bedroom, but that was fine by me because the bed was actually really comfy. Overall, we spent almost no time in our cabin. Our in-laws had a butterfly cabin which is very similar layout to the lilypad, and my mother and father in laws cabin was the eagle, so it was bigger. They had a full fridge so we stocked a lot of food there and they were a bit more secluded. The cabins we were in are tucked in between mobile campers so we started with a lot of neighbors and then they left over the week and it was just cabins. Now, onto the amenities, they have a general store with a lot of what you might need if you forgot some food items and drinks, including alcohol. They had beach toys and stuff for kids. The staff was SUPER nice and really friendly. The play ground was nice, they have basketballs for the court, and we enjoyed the pool, it was really perfect for toddlers not sure about teenagers. On our favorites was the pony rides on Sunday, our kids really enjoyed that. It was a really unique place to stay for 3 nights and I enjoyed getting all my steps in going back and forth. There is a trail to walk close to the beach. If you don't mind the 30 mins daily drive to the beach its a good place to stay.

We stayed in the Eagle Cabin which was very comfortable and perfect for what our family of 3 needed. The bed was comfortable and towels were very nice for a camping cabin. The only slight complaint/feedback I have was that the kitchen items could have been in better condition but it's a small cabin and understandable that they're kind of bare minimum. I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the entire area and overall respect of the property and other guests. The pool wasn't exactly first class but the kids LOVED it and had a blast. Very friendly service. The location was OK- a bit of a drive (10 Minutes to the nicer beach) but we would totally stay here again and highly recommend. (I also want to add that adjusting your expectations is helpful- I looked at some of these reviews and honestly, You are signing up for a camping area in Nebraska- not the Ritz. We have been to beautiful spots and airb&bs and we're pretty picky so this was exactly what we signed up for- a fun low key family camping adventure)
