Our Scout Troop has camped here several times, always a great experience. Great location, multiple options for camping (cabins, tent sites near facilities and primitive camping). Great location, near the river and several fishing ponds nearby. Hiking distance to the National Monument also.
Camped here for a night at a tent site for about $15, absolutely fantastic experience!! Site 3 is beautiful, right on the river and across from Scottsbluff National Monument. Facilities are clean and well-maintained, feels safe and tucked away while still being right by town. Quiet save the freight trains across the river. Highly recommend!
View is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL FOR A WEDDING! Absolutely beautiful! But thats not all, Cabins are lots of room and have everything needed. Big shower too lol. I heard about booking problems but our party didn’t have any issues.
What a little Gem right here in our backyard! Clean, up to date everything. Party rooms with a.c. kitchen with appliances, awesome pool for private use, playground equipment all part of our 4 hour rental ,& I felt like it was at very affordable rate! We will definitely be passing the word on about this place & guarantee we will be using it again!
The area is so beautiful! We rented the pool and pavilion for a company picnic and employees stayed in the cabins. Everyone loved it and wants to do it again next year!. Thanks for such a wonderful experience and Trevor was fantastic to work with!!!
My family of 5 needed a place to stay for several days, and this was a perfect fit for us. There is tons of space to spread out and not feel cramped like a hotel often feels.
We stayed for one night on a Sunday in May and had the place entirely to ourselves. The online reservation process was simple to use. There are trains that run through the night on the other side of the river, but, fortunately, they don’t sound their horn. The code for the bathrooms is provided once you make a reservation. I don’t think you could find a better campsite for a better price.
We rented the cabins. Very clean and spacious. Each includes a kitchenette, queen bed & 2 sets of bunk beds. There’s a shower, sink & toilet - separated by doors so multiple people can get ready at the same time. Each set of 2 adjoining cabins share a common area. There is a pool available for rent as well as a reception area. A campfire area is also included. Only downside, the rooms had a serious ant problem. The entire tiled area had ants everywhere (see photo).
