This was the best site I've ever camped at and can't recommend it enough! You're all to yourself but still nearby other sites. The town, as well as Scottsbluff NM and Chimney Rock, are close by. Lisa was an excellent host, wish we could've talked longer! Make sure you're well prepared for the weather...the wind swept through the canyon just right and snapped our tent. Will definitely look for this place again the next time I come out!

This land is gorgeous and we felt so lucky to camp there. We decided to camp last minute on our cross country road trip back home to Idaho and it happened to be my birthday. The sunset was incredible and the prairie was gorgeous. Be prepared for the wind!

Wow, it was raining HARD when we were driving towards the Peaceful Prairie location and the road condition concerned Lisa. She contacted us right away about getting into our spot and settled. Through the hip camp site/app and LIsa's guidance, we found our spot just fine and had a nice evening in the drizzle. Woke up to some beautiful fog and singing birds. The road does get a little greasy with that kind of rain, but we did fine.

This was a great quiet little campground. We had some issues with the camper the first night but it was nothing major and the host was so accommodating and helpful. We would recommend this place and the rental of the camper on site to friends.

The campsite is exactly what we expected. We had beautiful views of the national landmarks. And the stars at night were spectacular. There really isn’t much shade at all. So if you go during summer months bring a canopy of some sort. We didn’t use the shower. We weren’t too sure about the safety of bugs there. But over all

Nice and quiet place on a nature landscape with a lot of space to the next guest on Peaceful Campground. A lot of Yucca in the morning sun is worth to take pictures.
