Best Glamping near Grover, CO

Site is $11.25/night. No water or service hookups. There is a picnic table and fire ring at each site. Bathrooms are plenty close to all sites.

Campground is located on a the four way intersection stop sign of hwy 14 and hwy 392, Briggsdale, CO. There is too much road noise to sleep in a tent.

Careful with large RV as some of the tree branches are very low.

The campground is very quiet and clean. There is great bird watching in this area. The Pawnee Buttes Trail is close and a wonderful hike in the cooler months or early morning.

I have had some good experiences here and some not so good. I’ll start with the bad first. There are insufficient trashcan and dumpsters here so often that the beaches are trashed. Also, there have been times I’ve camped here and the water smelled like cattle manure. My only assumption is the local agriculture dumps into the water that feeds the lake. After driving 40 miles from the nearest city - a smelly lake was not what we had in mind. The good: this is basically what you want it to be. Inexpensive campsites where people are friendly and the amenities are fine. When the water is clean and you can swim on a sunny day it’s a great time.

The camp site we had was close to the lake. We left a day early because of tornado warnings. Other than that we had a great time

A lot of sites are available for tents and RVs. Some with hook-ups and some without. We camped once with hook-ups and a pull thru (new trailer owners) in Oct and it was extremely windy and TONS of flies. Dead carp all over the shores :( The second time was in the spring (May) and we camped closer to the lake with no hook-ups. Great spot with easy access to fishing. Not as windy...no bugs really. Camp host was nice. Kind of noisy with so many people in close proximity. Not our favorite camping spot but a great place to check out your RV for a first run of the year.

We went during off season and the campground was very isolated until the weekends so we had lots of room to explore and play without having others around

We stayed in Pelican camp grounds (#86). Easy pull-through, clean spot, large metal picnic table with large fire pit and grate. Each camp spot in Pelican has an entrance to lake although a rocky step before water. There is a small beach at the end to put your kayaks, rafts, boards in. You have to walk through that camping spot but that’s the pros/cons of that last space. You are allowed to enter water anywhere.

Dogs are allowed anywhere as long as on leash, including beaches.

Never went to the main beach. The marina was stocked with a variety of things but not a lot of quantity. Plenty of wood and ice. Friendly staff. Fires allowed!

Biggest complaint- SOOOO MANY GNATS!!!! I mean more than we have ever seen anywhere. The gnats issue almost made this a 3-star review.

Will never ever camp here again! Our camp trip cost us an additional$400 because our site#42 fried our surge protector. We had to run and buy a new one as soon as we realized we had no power and the surge protector would not work or even supply any power due to the fact This site is not grounded! BEWARE! Do not camp in site 42! I bet the entire park is not grounded! Thanks for nothing State Park!

Loved the spot we had, (105) but after driving around it’s the only spot we would want. It had great shade, and was very flat. The spot was nice because it had power too.

Now the bad - upon arrival (on 7/20/2020) we realized we forgot coffee, and marshmallows. Well no worries there is a little store, and it’s open until 6pm 👍... well that’s if the lazy girl wants to stay open I walked up at exactly 5:44 and the doors were locked, I knocked as I knew she was in There but she ghosted me. 😡 oh well. I saw her leave at 5:58pm.

Now let’s y’all about the bugs around 9pm we heard a buzzing. I thought it was coming from a mother sight. Then we realized we were completely engulfed in a variety of flying insects. We couldn’t keep them out of our tent. It was awful!

We have been going to this campground since as long as I can remember. I would always jump for the electrical sites but any sie will do. The non-electrical sites have much less natural shade so you will need canopies. We love taking our boat out and we recently got an ATV and enjoyed time on the OHV track. There is so much to do here including a lot of things for the kids to be involved with nature. We love camping but also having access to running water and showers and toilets for convenience.

Perfect for family camping, swimming, boating. Massive Tstorm came through one night and it was a stunning experience. Book early to get near the lake, it’s worth it. Easy to get to but feels away. Decent camp store, nice fire rings and grates. Bring your bug off and your shade shelter!

Was surprised when my spot was right next to the next one, in basically a small parking lot. I though state parks would be more parklike. The lake was muddy and lots of bugs. Some sites and experiences may be better than others.

Clean, nearly level, with amazing views of the lake. Great beach, water throughout the campground. Yep there were midges.. but they aren’t interested in people and they don’t bite. Leave a light at the other side of the site from where you are sitting and they will all go there. Super easy to get to on a smooth gravel road for just the last bit, the rest is paved. Sandpiper is very well spaced and wasn’t at all crowded like the other campgrounds there were. We’re going back in two days! Site #128 is closest to the water... #124 has fresh water right in the pull through!... and #122 has a wonderful huge tree shading the pull through site. We stayed in (and the photos are from) #126.

We stayed for 2 nights, changing plans from mountain camping to avoid wildfire effects. The lake (even with low water level) was great to play and swim in, especially with small kids. We stayed in Pelican Bay in a site by the water. Yes you will likely experience bugs, but nothing that deterrent doesn’t take care of. (When you have camped in the Midwest or Southeast US, these pests are nothing!). Well-tended sites and facilities. I recommend sites that have a bit of shade, which many of the ones we saw in Pelican Bay had. Nice pull-through sites that were spacious. Check it out for a close to Denver non-mountain, water alternative!

You can reserve spots online for camping, but you still need a day pass to enter. Ends up at roughly $45 but it's quiet, well maintained and easy to navigate. A great stayover or extended stay.

Have been here several times. The lake is very different depending on when you travel. The last trip when the water was down provided tons of sand for a beach like adventure. Sites are all very different:. Well spaced, fairly clean, and varying degrees of shade. It is frequently windy and dusty in the campground. Be sure to plan for some water activities to enjoy the trip. And be on the lookout for snakes.

We stayed at site 147 in the Foxhill loop. It was nice little basic site. Our site didn’t have hookups, but I think others do. Our site was near the vault toilets, which was convenient. They were very basic, but clean.

Short walk to the lake where people were fishing and boating. The kids had fun at the little beach. There aren’t many trees so it feels open and there isn’t much privacy, but our site was far enough away from others that we weren’t bothered. This isn’t the place for a secluded experience.

Easy access, clean, and fairly quiet.
