Best Cabin Camping near Bayard, NE

Chimney Rock Pioneer Crossing near Bayard, Nebraska offers a single cabin rental option for travelers seeking accommodations with views of the historic landmark. The cabin, priced at $60 per night, provides a comfortable alternative to RV camping in this small, established campground.

According to Shannon G., "Pioneer Crossing is located between Bridgeport and Scottsbluff. It's a small 15 pull through campground with 1 cabin which is $60/night." The property includes shower and restroom facilities that cabin guests can access during their stay.

Westfield, located just across the Wyoming border, represents another cabin camping option in the region. This private campground features one cabin among its 13 hookup sites. The cabin provides basic accommodations for travelers along US Highway 26. Both properties allow pets in their cabin rentals, making them suitable for travelers with four-legged companions. Reservations are recommended, particularly during peak travel seasons, as the limited cabin inventory can fill quickly. The Chimney Rock Pioneer Crossing cabin offers excellent views of the illuminated landmark at night, with one visitor noting, "We had a wonderful stay here. My husband had never seen Chimney Rock, and I had never seen Chimney Rock lit up at night. All I have to say is Wow!"

Cabin guests should plan to bring personal items including bedding, towels, and toiletries as these furnished cabins typically provide only basic amenities. The Chimney Rock location includes an on-site shop with snacks, souvenirs, and an ice cream parlor that can supplement basic provisions. Nearby Bridgeport offers grocery shopping options and a gas station with diesel fuel. Weather considerations include preparing for mosquitoes during warmer months and potential rattlesnake encounters in the surrounding area. Chimney Rock Pioneer Crossing remains open year-round, allowing for cabin stays during all seasons, though advance planning is essential given the limited availability of cabin accommodations in this rural region.

"While he fished I walked around the pond and saw the biggest bullfrogs ever. I could hear a lot of traffic and some peacocks yelping. Also beware of rattlesnakes they are thick in this area."

Small, private Rv spot
Westfield is a small private Rv campground. It has 13 full hook up sites which are right by US Hwy 26. There are no picnic benches, no fire rings, and no Shade. There is 1 cabin on site.

Nice view of Chimney Rock
Pioneer Crossing is located between Bridgeport and Scottsbluff. It’s a small 15 pull through campground($38/night) with 1 cabin which is $60/night. The sites are gravel and full hook ups and no trees. We pulled up after dark and Jo the owner told us they were full but he offered his field behind the cabin for a discount. He was very kind to find a place for us. The shop had a small stinkin cute ice cream parlor, pop, snacks and souvenirs. There is a small pond and area for tents($30/night), a dump station and shower/restroom. They also offer monthly stays at $550/month. It was fine for needing to pull off the road to sleep and to hike/view Chimney rock(a historical landmark).

Great view of Chimney Rock
It was interesting to learn about Chimney Rock and definetly about how it was taller but got hit by lightning. This is a small RV campground but perfect to stop when we were tired. And definite bonus is they light up chimney rock at night while everything is pitch dark. There is a small pond you can fish at and so my husband did. It’s catch and release only. While he fished I walked around the pond and saw the biggest bullfrogs ever. I could hear a lot of traffic and some peacocks yelping. Also beware of rattlesnakes they are thick in this area. It’s open all year, has pull thru sites, full hook ups, dump station, picnic tables, and cute gift shop with ice cream parlor.

Perfect stop over
This is a great stay over place. I believe we counted just 12 spots, full hookups. Spaces are rather close, but with only 12 rigs, it did not feel packed. Host was very kind and helpful. The view of the Chimney Rock was right out our front window. We walked to the rock location and took the trail at the cemetery. It is a bit of a distance (we had 5 miles) but we are hikers and didn’t mind. You could also drive closer, but we did not want to unhook from our rig. The registration office is a building full of goodies! Ice cream, food, and gifts and souvenirs are available. We really enjoyed our overnight stay here and I would happily recommend this to anyone traveling through.

Wow!
We had a wonderful stay here. My husband had never seen Chimney Rock, and I had never seen Chimney Rock lit up at night. All I have to say is Wow! Mosquitoes are hungry here! Be prepared for that. The owner and his wife are so nice, ice cream is great! Quick drive to see Chimney Rock closer and a few trails to hike if you like. Visitors Center is 2 min away. We got groceries in Bridgeport. Nice town with a big gas station with diesel and def. We would stay here again. 41 foot Fifth Wheel. Plenty of room for our rig, pull thru which my husband likes.

Cool view-not much else
We did not stay here. Arrived at 6:30 and the shop with ice cream and food items was closed. Several hook ups and sites for full size rigs. There is not much else in the area other than the view of chimney rock which was pretty cool. I saw taped to the door two receipts for campground stays. The price was $46 for one and $38 for the other. There is not anything on the campground other than the shop so it is unlikely someone would stay for more than a day. We did not stay here so I can not confirm those prices but it seems quite steep for not a whole lot if it is the price.

Beautiful and quiet
I arrived late last night to chimney rock completely lit up. Very beautiful. Spots are fairly small but quiet. Frequent train, if that bothers you. Nice easy to hook up and pull through spot.

Great view
There is not much to this campground, besides the full hookups except the very warm welcome we received from the host on his 4-wheeler! The view of Chimney Rock was beautiful morning and night. Thanks for being so gracious.
