"Had to point directional antenna south towards Long Pine. Hope this helps!"

"Shaded section with a nice little beach to walk into the river. River flows quickly but the sounds right next to the site will lull you to sleep. Has table and fire ring."
$5 - $15 / night
"Right along the Niobrara River you can truly emerge yourself in the wonders of Nebraska wildlife."

"Rocky Ford is one of many outfitter and private campground choices in stunning Northwest Nebraska on the Niorbrara River."
"Great for groups, best for when you want to get away from all the people. The second half of the river is the best so it’s a great spot since it is also a take out."
GuideThe campground is located in the city park. All 5 sites have 20, 30 and 50 amps and sewer. Water spigots are found at every other site. Gas, diesel and a small grocery store are nearby. The sites are $20 per night.
GuideSimple campsite with no real designated camping spots, just pull up to a piece of level ground and pay the $10 fee. Water is available at a few places around the campground with the the most convenient water spigot near the bathroom/shower house.
TravelerSeems like many long term stays. Biggest issue was there was no place to put your trash. It’s a bit far from town. Not walking distance but nice and quiet.
GuideFantastic find. Probably over a 100 sites and only a few taken. Great access to Niobrara River. Folks in office are helpful and low key. Pick a spot under trees, in open, and/or by river. Sites have fire pit and table. Nice shower rooms and flush toilets. Covered table area by office.
$12 per person (kids less or free, I can't remember).
A number of sites with electric for $10 more.
Lots of people floating river. Turkeys, racoons, birds, and deer.
Seems even if you pull in late, just sign a waiver by office door, and pick a spot and take care of details in morning. Camp sites go west of office but also meanders east for at least 1/2 mile down by river. Awesome and quiet.
TravelerArrived late in our camper van and woke up to a charming quiet campground. Steady moving creek with clear-ish water and cool bridges going over the creek. Mature trees kept us cool from the sun and allowed us to sleep in a little longer in the morning. If you park by the creek then get ready to pick a lot of stickers of our your dog’s paws because they’re everywhere. There was a 5th wheel and some tent campers nearby but we never heard them. Great area for dog to run and throw the frisbee. Lots of area to take a walk. Trash cans appear to be emptied regularly. We didn’t use the restrooms but they’re there. Valentine is honestly one of the cutest towns we’ve driven through. It’s like what America is supposed to look like in the movies.
TravelerWe had a pull through site right next to the river. Disk golf park, and also with playground equipment. We stayed on April 8, and that is too early in the year for the city to turn on water and open the bathrooms. We are totally fine without that. There is a box to drop $5 in, but there wasn't any paperwork to fill out. I wonder if anyone was even monitoring this in the off-season. We were basically alone. This is FC-FServe and no designated spots or campsite numbers. We would love to stay here again.
ScoutPulled up late in the evening. Easy to find and quiet
GuideLove this campground. Super low key. There are some spots you have to reserve ahead of time, those are listed on website. Otherwise first come first serve. Iron ranger outside the park office if closed. Pit toilets and water pumps with potable water.
LegendI was heading to Merritt Reservoir and saw a sign for camping (Big Alkali WMA) and thought I could review a new site for the Dyrt. It was so nice, I changed my plans and stayed!
The campground is nestled in the Valentine Wildlife Management Area in Cherry County Nebraska. Cherry County is about the size of Connecticut. It is so sparsely populated it is known for its endless sandhils and clear night sky's. The Nebraska Star gazing festival is held in Cherry County annually.
The camp site is south of the 16B about 10 miles west of highway 83 and about 25 miles south of Valentine NE.
The 8 camping sites are well marked. At least one is handicapped accessible, though there is no paved way to the campsite's vault toilet. each has 15 and 30 Amp hookups, BUT NO WATER!
There are about 20 other primitive sites with firepits or grills and picnic tables. I assume unlimited camping if you just wish to throw up a tent. There is no charge for the sites, no entrance fee, no cost for electric, FREE.
The lake is so glassy, peaceful, and of course it is sandy bottom for great swimming. It would be awesome for peaceful Kayaking or Canoeing. Of course, the Niobrara National Scenic River is just half an hour up the road, so this might be a great base camp for all things Kayak.
I assume that fishing is the main attraction. There is a nice boatramp. I see a large pontoon boat pushed up on the shore and I actually saw folks out on water skis when I arrived.
I may try to bike some of the trails in the Valentine WMA. These Sandhills are steep and beautiful.
Did I mention FREE, even with 30amp hookup???
I found the gravel access r road off of 16B to be well maintained if slightly narrow. Two pickups meeting is an inconvenience, but two large rigs might pose a problem.
