I reserved 2 RV spots for the eclipse of 2017. We made sure that the place had showers, as that was a non-negotiable. We booked many months in advance to make sure we could get a spot. In the months leading up to the eclipse, the owners got greedy. Knowing the crowds that the event would draw, they rearranged their campground to accommodate more people. They packed tent sites in wherever they could. We arrived at the campground and found it incredibly congested, and also found that they had LOCKED THE SHOWERS. With the increase in crowd size that they themselves caused due to their greed, their septic system was unable to handle the volume, so they rented portapotties and kept the facilities that we paid for locked up. We tried calling another campground in scottsbluff to see if they had availability but it was after hours, so no one answered. We drove the car there to see, and found vacancies, so we drove the car back to chimney rock so that we could drive both RVs over to camp at scottsbluff, setting up camp in the dark and exhausted, where the sugar plant made the air so rank you vomit, but at least they had showers. I should have demanded a refund for the 2 sites, but we were desperate and all of our energies were put into finding a site with showers.
I almost didn't leave a review, but recently got a phone call from a different chimney rock and I got mad all over again and had to, now 8 years later.

We loved our stay here! Joe arranged things so we could arrive 2 days earlier than expected, which was extremely generous. The views, the store, everything was perfection! We will definitely be back!

Great view of Chimney Rock from our camper! Bring bug spray and yes there is a train and its not bad.. we couldn't have picked a better place. We are getting up incredibly early to hit the road and are sad not to get to get ice cream and check out thre shop.. Chimney Rock was in our road trip list and it amazingly awesome not to even have to leave the camp ground to see it

We stayed here for a few days while exploring the area. Very nice campground. Owners were very friendly. Loved that you can get sandwiches and ice cream there. Wonderful view of Chimney Rock. We would definitely stay here again!

This was such a nice spot! The owners were friendly and kind and generous. The sites are easy access and I think they are all pull-thru with full hook-up. There's a close and beautiful view of historic Chimney Rock with a sunset like a postcard, if the clouds allow. Visitor center is an easily walkable distance.
Good gift shop with food available too. But the ice cream is the BEST, and fresh-rolled homemade cones!!
Also, Veteran owned and operated.
We had a major disaster of my own fault, and Joe was there on the spot to help me out, and got us back in shape and on the road quickly. Thanks a ton, Joe! May God bless you
