Nice shady campsite with water (#56) with great water view. Campsite was clean and level. Plenty of empty spaces available. Good stay. We will return if in the area again.

The bird trails next to the family campground were worth the visit, in and of themselves. The Dawn Chorus was like something out of a nature documentary. The species variation and activity level were top notch. The Pawnee National Grasslands auto tour was a short ride away, and the neighboring roads also offered plenty more birding opportunities. The camp host was very friendly and helpful.

We like how much space is between each site. It feels very private. We plan to go back to do some bird watching.

I’ve stayed here every summer for a while now, I enjoy the birdwatching and quieter location. This year the Campground host was very nice, stopping by my spot to say hi and talk for a while. Bathrooms are some of the cleanest I’ve encountered in a campground. See you next year!
