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, trailers and RVs must book the RV sites. We appreciate your cooperation. RV sites 50 amp electricity and a rustic experience on crushed concrete near our corral. You'll have foot access just steps from the prairie. All sites share access to delicious potable water, a clean porta potty, and a funky outdoor camp shower, as well as private foot access to hiking at various levels of challenge to the south side of our nation's Scotts Bluff National Monument. A small group of yearling cattle are at home on the prairie in summer months, and may share you the prairie tent area with campers in the months of May and June. 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.

This campsite offers a serene escape with stunning views and a warm, welcoming host. Visitors appreciate the peaceful setting under the bluffs, with encounters with friendly animals like Tigger the horse and Martha the donkey. The outdoor shower adds a unique touch, although it may not always be operational. Some guests noted the challenging access and the rustic nature of facilities, but the overall experience remains positive and memorable.

Lisa’s land is absolutely stunning! Both sunrise and sunset were remarkable. Lisa was very kind upon my arrival and very helpful with all directions regarding the tent site as well as other accommodations. I would absolutely come back.

Partial Shade with Stunning Views

This was an amazing place to camp with a stunning view. It was very peaceful, and a beautiful place to rejuvinate and write poetry. Lisa was wonderful and easy going.

Prairie Paradise and Birds!

Heart's Delight (RV, Trailer)

Lisa is an amazing host and her property is something very special. She is working to return the once farm land to much needed natural prairie which she was able to tell me all about. The bird life was diverse and abundant. I counted at least 25 species just at the campsite alone. As for the site, there is everything you need. Water from her well, 50amp power, a yard light which you can turn on and off. There is a super cool outdoor shower, and porta-potty. This area is quite dark at night as the bluff block the light from town, so the stars are spectacular. It's quiet and peaceful and was the perfect place for me to stay for a week during a work visit to the area. I'll be back for fun next time! Thank you, Lisa, for sharing your little piece of paradise with me.

Free Bird (RV, Trailer)

We had the best experience here! The campground was beautiful, and Lisa was a wonderful host. She spent some time talking with us about Tigger and Martha, and even let me give them a few treats. We brought our dog, who loved exploring the campground. We only stayed for one night, but we plan to come back and stay a while longer next year!

Cozy Canyon (Accommodates Groups)

Lisa's land was incredibly quiet and peaceful. I didn't hear any other campers due to how far the other campsites are. The night sky gets filled with stars since there isn't too much light pollution. The tree shade was very welcoming, as most of the land is prairie.
