About this campground
Johnson Lake State Recreation Area in Elwood Nebraska offers partial and primitive (no water, electric, or sewer) hookup RV and tent camping in a wooded setting adjacent to a recreational lake.
What campers say
Johnson Lake State Recreation Area offers a scenic, well‑kept lake setting with boat ramps, a fishing pier, kayak rentals, a sandy beach and walking trails. Many visitors note excellent fishing, roomy shaded campsites, and friendly camp hosts. Site types vary—electric-only spots, gravel pads and some smaller or uneven sites—and reports on shower access differ (some say coin-operated). Mosquitoes and cottonwood debris can be problematic during parts of the season. Non‑resident day‑use fees and occasional low water levels have been reported, so check current conditions and fee rules when you reserve.
