About
The Steward J. Adams Education Site is a reservation-only group camping facility located at the end of the Crow Valley Campground road on Pawnee National Grassland. Named for an educator who valued the grassland environment, the site accommodates gatherings of up to 100 people and is ideal for educational groups, scouts, or large camping parties seeking a tents-only experience on the Colorado prairie. The site features a three-sided covered cooking shelter equipped with electrical outlets and three picnic tables. Vault toilets are available on-site, but campers must bring their own drinking water as potable water is not available. Parking accommodates up to 20 cars, trucks, or vans, or two 40-foot buses. RVs are prohibited. Set at 4,800 feet elevation amid the shortgrass prairie, the site offers excellent opportunities for stargazing, birdwatching, and wildlife observation. The Crow Valley Recreation Area also includes nature trails, a farm implement museum, and recreational facilities.
Directions
From Ault, travel 22 miles east on Highway 14, turn north on Weld County Road 77, travel 1/4 mile to campground entrance on the west side of the road. The Steward J. Adams Education Site is at the end of the campground road.
