One of the Snowbird campsites, along the Timber Lake trail. It was very well maintained. A bull moose walked through my campsite, twice! This is the closest campground to Timber Lake (1/4 mile up the trail) and is very convenient for a dayhike up Mount Ida.

Peaceful Prairie Campsites

23 sites · RVs, Tents200 acres · NE

Visit us and discover why Hipcamp named our property the best Hipcamp to Visit in Nebraska in 2024, and the two years before that. Located within 2 miles from Hwy 71, we're easy to find, easy to love, and easy to leave, according to hundreds of guests who have left positive recommendations... Peaceful Prairie Campsites consists of 200+ acres of prairie pasture bordering the south side of Scotts Bluff National Monument. Under the care of husband and wife team Frank Marquez and Lisa Betz-Marquez, the beautiful bluffs feature a rosy hue that glows on the hills at dawn and dusk. Tent sites (including pop up campers, car and camper vans but not RVs or pull-behind trailers) are located directly on the prairie. RV sites (all offering 50 amp electricity) are in a designated area on crushed concrete near our corral. All sites offer immediate foot access to hiking at various levels of challenge, including the south side of our nation's Scotts Bluff National Monument. Our 33-year-old sweetheart horse Tigger, is free roaming the area, and enjoys meeting campers. Tigger can be placed in another area if you would rather she didn't wander by for conversation. Prairie guests have relished the feeling of having the place to themselves to enjoy the majesty of the landscape, the magic of our starry night skies, and the delicious drinking water that comes from an aquifer deep underground. Lisa is the fourth generation of her family to live on Valley View Farm, located directly south of the prairie. Her family has been steward of these lands since 1925. Lisa is a member of a pioneer family. Ancestor, Martin Gering, came to the valley in 1887. As an early investor in the fledgling town, the town of Gering was named for him. If you're a history buff, ask Lisa to tell you more...

Camping near Hawk Springs guide

Overview

Just west of the Wyoming-Nebraska border, Hawk Springs makes the perfect base camp for exploring southeastern Wyoming. Discover camping gems like a private RV site at a local therapeutic ranch, or enjoy the convenience of an on-site trailer rental with full hookups and a picnic table. Nearby, Hawk Springs State Recreation Area offers rustic camping on the shores of the Hawk Springs Reservoir, where 24 primitive campsites surround this popular fishing destination. Boating and swimming are also welcome on the reservoir, and amenities like picnic tables, fire rings, and a playground make the campground a fun family destination. A quick trip over the Colorado border takes campers to Pawnee National Grassland, where three campgrounds offer multiple campsites in wide open spaces. Or take a trip into the trees at Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest, where over 360 trails wind through mountains, valleys, and wooded areas. Numerous primitive and developed campgrounds as well as old guard stations and fire lookouts turned into cabin rentals make it easy to stay inside the park.
