This was probably our fifth time camping here and yet again, it didn't disappoint. We camped at the Lakeside Campground which is right next to Owen Marina where there is paddle boat rental for the small lake and a convenience store as well as a fishing bridge. It's a great spot for anyone who has kids since you can watch the kids go to the marina from your campsite. It's best to hit Mahoney on the weekdays, though, as it can be really busy on the weekend. Even on a Monday, the water park was packed! The water park is Top-Notch and only $7 for adults and $5 for kids. Mahoney is a great place to camp!! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I love this place. There is so much for the family to do! Water park, horse rides, hiking, fishing and many nearby attractions are just a few. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
We only spent one night at this park, but there were lots of activities for kids. The spaces were pretty level and if you have slideouts there appeared to be plenty of room. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Loved this place. My wife and two boys spent a week here and found plenty to keep us entertained. The buffet in the lodge is a must and a good break from camp food. Activities inclueded SAC Air Museum tour, drive through safari, water park, horse back riding, giant indoor playgroung with climbing tubes and ball pits, mini golf, outdoor plays, and an activity center. The natural beauty was breath taking. I recommend climbing the overlook tower at sunset to take in a view of the Platte River Valley. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
A wonderful campground. A lot of shade and a lot of room - we camped at the end of the loop road and we had a lot of space to ourselves. Although the park is off of an interstate highway, traffic noise was not a problem. We camped during the week and there were plenty of sites avaiable, however the weekends are busy so plan accordingly. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
This is a state park,(park permit required) and unfortunately, no water/sewer hookups are
available. However, water is readily available at various sites throughout the park. All roads and sites are paved making it nice and clean. Fire rings and picnic tables available at each site. There is much to do in this park, mini-golf, a nightly mellow-drama in the summer months, hiking trails and a very nice bike/pedestrian trail which runs through the park. Horseback riding & paddle boats(seasonal) also available. There is a nice restaurant within the park and very nice playgrounds. There is a nice water park/swimming area during the summer months. It is hard to get a site during the summer months. We had no problems finding a spot the last two times we went in September and October though. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
