Ahhh, the heartland. Wide open spaces of undeveloped land in which to spread your wings and find some breathing room. Nebraska National Forests and Grasslands is one of these places, comprised of two forests of ponderosa pine and three grassland areas. Come here to set up your temporary little house on the prairie and be a pioneer camper for a while! Wandering and exploring is unrestricted for non-motorized travel here, meaning freedom is yours for the taking! If you don’t want to just head into the abyss, try visiting the nation's oldest federal tree nursery (awww, baby trees!), or the largest extinct bison boneland in the world at the Hudson-Meng Bison Research Center. Or, head to Soldier Creek Wilderness Area for a little rewilding and backcountry exploration. Keep your eyes peeled for prairie dogs and wildflowers popping their cute little heads up, rock formations dotting the landscape, and magic around every turn. There’s a lot going on in that grass!

Daniel’s property was easy to find. The site was gravel, but it was level. Daniel was very accommodating with an adaptor for our 30 Amp camper, as well as a water hookup. The view from our site, overlooking Douglas, was very nice with a beautiful sunset and sunrise.

Daniel & Nikki were fabulous hosts! They were so welcoming and accommodating. It was a very relaxing stay and we had a beautiful view, overlooking grassy hills and having pronghorn come so close to the property. Next time we will bring the motorcycle with so we can experience some of the other adventures in the area. Looking forward to our next stay here!

Daniel and Nikki were exceptional hosts and I took full advantage of their add-on breakfast burrito, lunch, dinner and River Kayak trip add -ons. Given the care, quality, and portions that Daniel and Nikki put into their add-ons - I don't think there is a better value around. My campsite had an awesome overlook with antelope scampering through the sagebrush and spectacular sunsets. I really appreciate that they are limiting the number of guests making it such a more pleasant experience. And there was direct-from the outside access to a real bathroom and shower! On my 7,500-mile road trip, they earn top marks for value, experience, and gracious hospitality.
