    Riverside Campground - Nice campground. Enjoyed the stay.  Lot size is good, just a tad tight between units, though.

    This campsite truly has it all and then some. The bells, the whistles, the whole train. Of course…read moreit's a campground first and foremost, but the other nearby features really add uniqueness to the experience if you want to branch out. First of all, the camping itself is affordable. Could've been that I visited in the off-season, but it was just $15 for the night to park my van. I could've camped in a tent on the ground, but I have a set-up that allows me to sleep in my van. Either way, the price is the same for them. The bathrooms are equipped with at least one hot shower - I couldn't get the other side to turn hot. Otherwise, they're clean and laid out conveniently for anyone to use and have relative privacy. They have pull through spots great for longer RV rigs, though I assume those come at a higher price because they have hook-ups. A greenway style trail runs right through the campground. I rode a lower-profile tired bike in both directions for a mile or two and never found the end. It seems like a significant trail for the area. There's a sizable river flowing nearby, a pond within the grounds for fishing, a YMCA summer camp with lots of family activities (maybe geared more to locals), and a zoo attached. I heard the sounds of some bizarre birds cawing in the night. There is a steel ring fire pit and cute little picnic table with each site. I backed my van up to the picnic table to help keep my cooking out of the wind and prevent flame-outs on my propane stove. I suppose you could cook over the fire pit too, if you like. The camp host was friendly and offered to stay a few minutes longer to meet me when I arrived. Located just 10 minutes from Scotts Bluff, this is in my opinion the best campground option around.

    Pretty disappointed after reading the good reviews. The bathroom was NOT clean - it had clearly…read morebeen a while since anyone had even wiped down the sinks. They have showers, but I'd have to be really gross to have to venture into them. The sites were habitable, but I wouldn't want go spend more than a night there. Full sun, and right by the railroad (the trains go by quite regularly). In spite of the campground being sparsely booked, the hostess was less than friendly. On the positive, there's a nice playground, a dog park, and a walking path. It's also very convenient if you're visiting Scott's Bluff National monument.

    We camped here just 2 nights as we head north for the summer. BJ's has Very friendly staff and she…read moresuggested that we check out the Stagecoach museum if we had time - I will do a separate review for that one as it was great! Our spot was level, had a picnic table and all utilities worked fine. The internet is exceptionally good - which was surprising! There is a cute little park across the street with a playground if you have kids with you. We did not use the shower house as we are self contained. The campground is about 3 blocks off Main Street, so a little quieter than the small parks We did walk in to town to hit up Fobaires for a burger and fries- so put that on your list too.

    I called and reserved a tent site for hunting trip. Sheila asked how long I thought I would need to…read morestay, I expected the whole week since nobody can be sure of hunting success. On Wednesday I filled my Antelope tag and called Sheila I would be leaving in the morning instead of Saturday. I asked for credit for the 3 days I wouldn't be there, she told me no refunds. I thought this was very unfair, if she had told me this when I booked, I would have only booked day at a time. But be never had something like this happen and have stayed at some very nice hotels too. I think BJ's is a nice campground with mostly overnighters passing through, maybe this is why. I would stay there again, but be careful how you reserve a spot. Only 3 starts because of the billing BS.

    This is a working ranch that allows many of us less adventurous to be a cowboy for a day or…read morebefriend a bison. Without all the running, screaming, trampling, and death required by those that wish to pet or touch bison in other locations. You Tube Bison Attacks Yellowstone to understand this reference. Now, Terry's allows feeding, petting and close up photography of their bison. The resort is a ranch and not the Four Seasons, so let's dial down our expectations and recognize the workings of the ranch. There will be dirt, poop, feathers, hair, urine, and unkempt struck and other things gentle folk may find unsavory. We found the ranch charming. We have experienced many close encounters with wild bison and most were less than rewarding, but exciting. Terry removes this. The train creaks, and groans into the herd. Windows open, and your bison friend pop up for food. You can touch them and enjoy close photos/videos. Kids will love this and animal lovers also. Your trip back the platform will provide some ranch insights and views of horse stables. That was our visit. You may also trail ride on horseback and even participate in dude ranching. We feel the ranch offered all it advertised and we will return with the little ones. Keep up the good work Terry and all the support it.

    What a great time! There are so many animals to see and I love feeding the bison. We're coming back…read morewith the rest of our family.
