    Right next to Niobrara

    Berry Bridge Campground is a privately owned campground right next to the Niobrara outside of Valentine Nebraska. It offers tent sites, picnic tables,fire rings, shower house, vault toilets and bunk houses with air. It has a convenient store offering firewood,ice, and snacks. It also has tubes and kayaks to use. This campground is very lively as buses were bring people to launch their tubes or kayaks from under the bridge

    Willow Cove Campground - Merritt Reservoir

    Area closest to Marina

    Willow Cave area is the RV/tent campground closest to the Marina and cabins. Some sites overlook lake and there is some shade. This area is across from the dump, has electric, a fish cleaning station, picnic benches, and fire rings. These spots are nice and spacious.

    Berry Bridge Campground

    Great spot for tubing/kayaking

    We enjoyed our primitive camping spot here, the bath house was hard to use with kids. No sinks available anywhere. Only two shower rooms available in our area of the camp ground (by the tube/kayak entrance) and one we weren’t able to use due to needed maintenance. We were under the impression we could rent tubes from Berry bridge but when we got there realized this isn’t the case. We ended up using Little Outlaw outfitters. Some things to note : ticks are heavy this summer! As soon as we stepped out of our vehicle I had one on me. Also Verizon cell service didn’t work at all (to call the outfitters)

    Overall we really liked it here! The main thing to do is go down the river so for us, one day (2 nights) was plenty.
