Crow Valley

Very well maintained and welcoming! Highly recommend but just watch out for snakes on the bird walk.

Campground was very clean and well kept. No trash anywhere. Pit toilets were immaculate.

A wonderful oasis and good home base for family fun on the prairie. While not exactly prairie, the campground and recreation area provide great habitat for birds, a cool place to rest and a wonderful place to camp. The Farm Museum is very interesting, though it could use a little more interpretation as to what each of the implements is. The informal trails provide lots of entertainment, and when the creek is flowing (depends on upstream dam release) the spadefoot toads are everywhere! The campground host was friendly and did an excellent job of maintaining things tidy and clean in the campground and bathrooms.
Don't miss the birding tour - since we had a 3 year old, we just went a little ways and then went out and explored the shortgrass prairie, rather than doing the whole thing. But it's worth it for older kids.

Restrooms were very clean. Everything from a tent to an airstream, Although very large rigs might have a hard time.

Nice group site for tents and campers. Good space for kids to play and a nice picnic area with firepit. Toilets close by. Weather can be hazardous in the spring, so the hail and rain weren't good , but that was only for one night.

Pleasant campground with benefit of warm weather for early spring camping. Buttes Trail as well as Jackson Lake State Park are reasonable half day destinations, albeit over unpaved roads much of the way. No water for this stay. Local gas station has limited hours.

Great plains campground. Both reserved and first come/first served sites - about 10 total plus group camping. Level spots, most accommodate camper plus tent. Picnic table, fire ring and charcoal grill on each spot. Couple double sites. Vault toilets. I read no water in 2021 but is usually a faucet in summer. No electric. Close to Briggsdale - DOES have cell service. Sites not real close together, some have shade, some have lots of sun. Campground host is a very nice feller! Lots of birds (I love the whipperwill song) and bird watching info. You will prolly hear coyotes howling. We found some small bones and a rattlesnake fang!

I thought there would be electrical hookups, so that I could use my CPAP machine. We only stayed the first night because I couldn't sleep since I was unable to plug in my CPAP to help me breathe. I had to forfeit two prepaid addition days.

A++++++++ 10/10 birbs. Seriously, lots of bird watching in the trees, and out in the grassland. Also highly recommend the rusted farm implement museum.

Great sites, decently spread apart, sparkling clean bathrooms, the short trails are great for an evening walk, make sure to leave plenty of time, like 2-3 hours, (and water and gas) if you're planning on doing the scenic drive. Be advised some of the sites don't have shade, and there is some road noise, but earplugs and an awning will take care of that.

Go to for bird and star gazing. Well run campground. Little amenities so bring everything you need.
