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 third generation steward, Lisa Betz-Marquez, the beautiful bluffs feature a stunning backdrop to a those seeking a private and peaceful experience, birding, wildlife-spotting, or an adventure-seeking hike. Rustic Tent sites (allowing cars, vans, rooftop tents, truck campers, and motorcycles, but not RVs or pull-behind trailers) are located directly on the prairie. The prairie is a fragile environment. To preserve its beauty and health, please ensure that if you are in a pull-behind trailer or an RV, you book an RV site. We appreciate your cooperation. RV sites (all offering 50 amp electricity) in a rustic designated area on crushed concrete near our corral, are literally within steps of the prairie. Delicious underground water and a repurposed water tank converted to a funky outdoor camp shower is conveniently on site for all campers. 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 34-year-old sweetheart horse Tigger, and her donkey pal Martha, are free ranging the area. Both enjoy meeting campers, however, they can be placed in another area if you would rather they didn't wander by for conversation. A small group of yearling cattle are also at home on the prairie in summer months. 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 soulful communion with the land. 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...

Expand Your Horizon 2 (No Trailers)

We loved camping at Lisa's place! Tigger and Martha were the sweetest horse and donkey pair. I got lost getting to her place (which was my bad) but Lisa patiently waited to greet us and show us our camp spot. A picnic table would have been helpful especially since there was a fire ban. I believe there was another camp spot that had a table. The hot shower was not working during our stay because it had broken the morning prior, but that did not bother us and Lisa made sure that we had the option to take a cold shower is needed. On the night we were there, we saw the aurora borealis, making this stay incredible!

Private and peaceful

Simple, wonderful, and peaceful with a great view. We only stayed one night and really wish we could’ve stayed a second night Lisa is a great hostess and was quick to answer questions and very accommodating. I would recommend it to anybody.!

Heart's Delight (RV, Trailer)

Lisa is a very kind person and her property is absolutely beautiful! The camp sites are spaced out so you have some elbow room. It is a great place to stay!

Partial Shade with Stunning Views

We got the perfect camp site in the small canyon with a fire place, table and good space, even a little shade in the afternoon. The views of the bluffs are fantastic.

Free Bird (RV, Trailer)

There are goat heads everywhere. Advertised outside shower was not operational. Trailer site slope makes leveling difficult.
