Pawnee National Grassland provides some unique opportunities for camping and discoveries. A little planning and some phone calls can make a stay in the Pawnee National Grassland more interesting and informative.

Notice on the map that the Pawnee Buttes are about 30 miles (one-way) from Crow Valley Park, but the trip makes a good morning or afternoon activity. There are hiking opportunities, especially near the Pawnee Buttes Area, so be sure to drive over and take a look. There are two museums available. There is a museum at the old schoolhouse in Briggsdale, the hours are flexible, and reservations can be made by calling 1 (303) 656-3812. The other museum is at Grover in the old railroad station displaying artifacts of the area, call 1 (303) 895-2349. A nice campground is provided at Crow Valley Park which is just north of Briggsdale. There are large cottonwood trees at the campsite and interpretive talks during the summer about the grasslands. There is a group camping area at Crow Valley. Fees are paid thru a self service system at $1.50 per person per night. There are two fire rings, water, and toilets, but no tables. There is a baseball field adjoining the camping area available to use; you need to bring the ball and bat.
