Captain Critters Country Campground

03/06/2024

Captain Critters Country Campground is a pet-friendly campground with a deep love for animals of all kinds. Recently the campground manager reported a customer with numerous dogs that were being kept in deplorable, inhumane conditions. Fortunately the Scotts Bluff County Sheriff’s Department issued a warrant and made arrangements to confiscate the dogs. There were 21 dogs transported to the Panhandle Humane Society in Scottsbluff where they were each examined for health concerns, bathed, given food and water, and a warm safe place to sleep. THANK YOU to Deputy Kale Hamilton and the Scotts Bluff County Sheriff’s Department, the Animal Health Center, the Scottsbluff Police Department, the Nebraska Department of Agriculture, and the Panhandle Humane Society for saving and caring for these helpless animals.

A note from the campground owner:

Animals have no choice for their living conditions, and they have no voice. Captain Critters Country Campground would like to encourage you and all people to raise your voice, speak up whenever you see a situation of animal neglect or abuse. Any situation like this will NOT be tolerated here at Captain Critters.

THANK YOU to all my friends, family, and campground guests who have so kindly acknowledged the hard work that's gone in to reopening and improving this campground. 😁 People frequently comment that it looks much better now compared to the previous years when it was closed down. This reopening has allowed more and more campers, tourists, and visitors to come see the beautiful Nebraska panhandle area, experience our rich history, and improve our local economy.

In addition, please allow me to extend both an invitation and a grateful "thank you" to anyone who would like to submit feedback about the campground here on the Captain Critters Country Campground page, or on rvparkreviews.com. Many campers look at campground reviews when choosing where to stay. So please join me in showing campers everywhere what a fine community we have here, and how much we would love to welcome them here. 🐕
