Church Grove Recreation Area

Tucked away in the far western reaches of Nebraska's Enders Reservoir State Recreation Area, Church Grove Campground offers an unparalleled sense of seclusion and tranquility. This primitive campground excels in providing an off-the-grid experience, surrounded by the expansive refuge areas that highlight the natural beauty and wildlife of this region. With its remote location, basic amenities, and peaceful atmosphere, this campground is ideal for those seeking solitude and a deeper connection to nature.

Church Grove is defined by its rugged charm, featuring primitive campsites equipped with fire rings and picnic tables, and a single vault toilet serving the area. While it lacks electricity and running water, this only enhances its appeal to seasoned campers who favor simplicity and natural immersion. The campground’s distance from the reservoir dam and other major amenities makes it essential to plan ahead for activities like fishing and boating, which are located closer to the dam area.

Located near the small town of Enders and about 11 miles from the community of Imperial, the campground is easily accessible via well-maintained highways, yet it feels worlds away from the noise of everyday life. The surrounding wildlife refuge ensures privacy, offering opportunities for bird watching, hiking along trails, and experiencing Nebraska's sparse but striking landscapes. Church Grove is an excellent base for adventurers seeking a quiet weekend escape or an extended stay focused on nature and wilderness.
