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.
