Crow Valley

Nice quiet campground. Really nice host. Shaded spots next to a wildlife walk. Tons of birds! Campsites were clean, nice big fire pit and bbq. Lots of room to spread out. Large picnic area if you have a lot of people. Clean bathrooms.

If you are hiking or on a bicycle, then don’t be too concerned that it’s a first come first served campground. Even if all the official pitches are taken, it’s ok to camp anywhere around the picnic area or volleyball court. No facilities other than pit toilets. As of July 2023, no potable water (there is a grocery store nearby). $11.25 per night for a single tent.

Site is $11.25/night. No water or service hookups. There is a picnic table and fire ring at each site. Bathrooms are plenty close to all sites.

Campground is located on a the four way intersection stop sign of hwy 14 and hwy 392, Briggsdale, CO. There is too much road noise to sleep in a tent.

Careful with large RV as some of the tree branches are very low.

We have stopped here on multiple road trips and we just love it. Really neat spot for a great night sleep. The birds and the cows are great!!

The campground is very quiet and clean. There is great bird watching in this area. The Pawnee Buttes Trail is close and a wonderful hike in the cooler months or early morning.

Great camp sites. Spacious and clean. Great little place. We were almost all alone in mid October with a full moon. Unfortunately, the big trucks on the roads near by were very noisy downshifting at the 4 way stop sign just outside the park. All day and into the night.

When you think Colorado you think endless mountains, but a good chunk of CO is prairie and grasslands. We enjoyed exploring this part of the state, complete with pronghorn antelopes, deer, birds, burrowing owls, sunsets, crazy thunderstorms, buttes, and rolling hills. Yes there are some windmills, oil rigs, cattle farms, etc. here, but the beauty of this landscape surpassed all of that development. Crow Valley campground is lushly wooded along a river with some pavilions and ball fields, plus short little hiking trails. We came out here to do the birding tour and enjoyed the camping just as much. It’s amazing how empty the prairie seems until you take a closer look.

Nice place to spead out and enjoy the Grasslands. You can easily have the whole place to yourself esp. if you go during the week.

This is the only campground in Pawnee National Grasslands, though you can also camp almost anywhere along public land (get a free map from the ranger office or online). This is the beginning and end of the Pawnee birding driving tour and less than an hour from the Buttes themselves. The campground is fairly open but shady. It was empty when I went in late spring (peak birding season). There are bathrooms & water, large cooking pavilions, short hiking trails, a stream, a baseball diamond, and a “museum” showing some historic farm equipment (it’s outdoors and there isn’t too much info, still neat though). There are no stores in this area at all so make sure you have what you need before venturing out.
