The Best Camping Near Scottsbluff, Nebraska

Captain Critter Country campground is located right off of highway 26 between Mitchell and Scottsbluff Nebraska. There is a set of train tracks on the other side of highway,and the trains blow there horns when they come through. Scared the crud out of me because they were so loud. 
When you pull into the campground it is obvious real quickly that it is in need of some TLC. There are spray painted tires around saplings throughout the campground. Along with spray painted numbers on the electrical boxes and in need of some clean up.   There are bright yellow buckets over the water spigots. 
One of the reasons we stopped was because it advertised a fruit orchard and veggie garden that we could pick from to eat. So I set off walking to find these. The fruit orchard is non existent. On brochure given said it was coming. And the veggie garden was very overgrown with weeds couldn’t tell if anything was planted in most of it.  I passed by a once swimming pool that is beyond repair.
With that being said the owner is super nice and the campground has 36 full hook up sites with more being made. We paid $35 for the night.   The  lanes are cutely named -Bunny Blvd,Critter Court, Deer Drive, Fox Fairway, and Gopher Gateway to name a few. The dog park is a nice size and has water bowls for the pups and deflated balls to play with. 
There is a small backyard swing set for kids and areas with trees that provide shade. The bathroom and showers are closed due to Covid.  A lot of the campers look like full timers, and I did not see any tent areas. 

Right off Hwy 26

Super nice and helpful lady who runs the place. Heard the train only once. Little tight but the pull through was fine. Was able to leave the truck and trailer hooked up. We had no problems with anything. 

Everything worked great

Nice place to camp they have Wi-Fi a garden you can get your vegetables from and it's right off the freeway
