Visit us and discover why Hipcamp named this property the best Hipcamp to Visit in Nebraska for the past three years. 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 Gering native, Lisa Betz-Marquez, the beautiful bluffs feature a rosy hue that glows on the hills at dawn and dusk. Rustic Tent sites (including pop up truck 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 rustic designated area on crushed concrete near our corral. A funky outdoor camp shower is conveniently onsite for all campers beginning June 10, 2024. 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, and her gal pal Martha, the 17-year-old donkey, are free roaming the area. Both enjoy meeting campers. 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 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.

Three Little Birds (RV, Trailer)

Lisa was very responsive, warm, and welcoming. She met us at the site late in the evening which was great. The sites for electric users were simple yet contained everything we needed for a comfortable stay (water and best smelling porta-potty). Tent sites on the prairie have the best views. We were able to enjoy our morning coffee on the prairie and met Tigger (horse) and Martha (mule)!

Expand Your Horizon 3 (Tent/Car/Van

My partner and I are on a long distance bike packing trip and we were in need of a shower, cold water and a place to land for the night after a hot day. Lisa’s campsite was perfect. The views were amazing. We even got to hangout with Tigger and Martha her horse and donkey. All of our needs were met and we woke up feeling refreshed. Such a lovely stay.

Very peaceful prairie

Lisa was such a wonderful host and the site is beautiful. It’s primitive, but a very clean porta potty and outdoor shower are very close to the site. We loved Tigger the horse & Martha the donkey. They are sweet and charming ladies. Cyrus the dog is a big handsome dog and so lovable, too. We came in after a big rainstorm. The roads and site were just manageable with my Honda Fit, but it’s as small as I would go! Lisa was great about checking the roads before our arrival and getting us the best route, so it was fine. She was also spot on about the roads drying quickly, so they weren’t slick. I’d definitely stay here again! It’s so peaceful and the view is gorgeous.

Very peaceful

The view was one in a million - directly across from Scott’s Bluff National Monument, and a little babbling brook across the road. The site was a little downhill, but a couple of blocks under the back stabilizers worked just fine. Host was warm, friendly, and gracious!
