Camp on the prairie, and see bison
I loved it. The prairie isn’t what you think, and it certainly isn't boring; miles, and miles, of pre-Colombian prairie, with grass (of course), tree covered hills, and the Niobrara River can be seen from the overlook that is this campsite.. All can be explored on foot, with day hikes. Wild, and captive, bison are nearby. None of them have access to this campsite, though.
A great host awaits, with hands-on bison tours, firewood, and lots of information on the local wilderness. Make sure you take the bison tour with a real bison rancher.

Beaver Pond
Sand Hills Gem
We LOVED this place, which felt like our own special secret campsite, which I guess it was!
Super-quiet, no highway noise when the wind is right. Sand hills wildlife all around. The pond is healthy and the fish are feisty. Victoria and Carl are excellent and generous hosts, and their bison products are outstanding. Very close to Valentine and a put-in on the Niobrara. A gem!

Camped with my Grandsons. The scenic overlook is beautiful. Boys enjoyed hiking down to rock ledges and doing what boys do. B/c of winds,we asked for a different site and hosts graciously agreed. Spent remainder of stay at the pond. Here the boys enjoyed chopping dead logs and climbing the steep hill behind camp.
Stargazing is amazing here.
Also recommend the bison tour. Learned much about prairie ecology and bisons part. Oh......and also got to feed bison.
Hosts are very helpful and knowledgeable. Would love to spend more time with them in conversation.
Highly recommended.

Great views, privacy, and bison!!!
The land and the views are breathtaking!!! The site was totally private!! The area has a lot to offer with the Niobrara river and surrounding wildlife refuge. About 30-40 min from Valentine National Wildlife refuge also. Vicky and Carl are great hosts and very knowledgeable about the land and the bisons that they raise. Make sure you take the Bison tour!!!!

We have stayed here multiple times. Host is super helpful helping us pick out a site. They have great honey and bison products. A special part of your stay could be a tour through their bison herd.

The views were excellent and the hosts are excellent. Easy to get to two-track trail through a pasture if you have an pickup or SUV. Very primitive spot. No amenities except a fire ring. The hosts helped us fill up the tanks on our RV at their house before going out to the camping site. The bison tour is well worth experiencing. Wonderfully dark skies means you can see a lot of stars.
