This place is a fantastic spot to lay your head! It is exactly as represented in the description. We did have a bit of noise from some very late arrivals that set up nearby, but it was otherwise an absolute joy to stay here. Any food your heart could desire is a short and easy drive away.

I stayed out here for a dove hunt, and it was nice enough. Typical state park setup. Nice big fire ring in the group sites. Bathrooms are functional though definitely a little dated. Kind of odd so close to a trailer park, but it was quiet during my stay.
GuideOur spot was close to the lake. The beaches had good sand and the water was cold. Our pad had a nice fire ring and table, and electrical hookup. The park has a free to use waste dump on the way out.

Huge campground with countless beautiful sites. Even if you arrive after sunset, you will definitely find a very nice spot here. The camp host is super nice and friendly. She invited us to go kayaking on the lake, lent us all the equipment for free, and we had a wonderful time with her.
It could really be the perfect campground... but there are two issues to consider:
Still, 5/5, as everything else here is truly more than perfect.
GuideVery nicely run campground and wonderful host. All sites easy walk to or on Reservoir. Trains seemed to whistle through across highway at least 1x every hour until late at night. 🙄 clean bathrooms. Lots of grass area. Locals with their water toys made for happy campers all around. Stayed one nite 6/14/24
TravelerThis place was an unexpected treasure. There is open parking at the picnic tables so you can face any direction you want. Extremely private and spacious. Very clean and safe place with welcoming hosts. I wanted a place to relax for a few days after some heavy traveling and this fit the bill. I am a Solo Traveler with a small friendly dog and this was a safe place for us. Owners have a friendly dog which came by to visit and gave my dog some company. This is open pasture land for dispersed camping however there is a shower available plus water in a Community Kitchen. I enjoyed the freedom of open parking and found it very easy to level my motorhome. I especially like the professionalism of the owners who emailed me once I booked their facility . Would definitely stay here again because it was so peaceful,relaxing, and safe.
TravelerReally nice spot with free camping, donations accepted. Run as if a paid campground and lots of overflow space where there were RVs. We got the last site (#35) on a busy holiday weekend, so happy about that as it was getting dark soon!
Picnic tables and firepits with grate for cooking provided. Was able to find kindling in the trees around.
Bathrooms were pretty nice.
Would definitely recommend.

You have to drive for several miles on some bumpy roads, but my Ford transit handled it fine. There are a couple spots with fire rings before the main trailhead, and then many options if you keep driving. Really beautiful but verrrry windy. My van rocked me to sleep every night. Overall peaceful and pretty. Also there was an adorably stubborn cow blocking the road on my way out. Really added to the ambiance :-)

This is one of my favorite places. Between the serenity, lack of bears, ease of access to water activities at the local State Park. This has been my favorite find so far!
TravelerIt's a decent camp spot. We went on memorial weekend and we were able to find a spot. His Subaru outback made it and we saw sedans get up there just fine.
Cows do use the area and may wander into your site. Cactus are a thing and it can get really windy. Our tent was staked down and we angled it so the side wasn't collapsing on us. Cooking during the wind was nearly impossible but doable with some engineering.
Neighbors were quiet and the terrain made it so that we didn't see who camped in the next spots nearest us.
It's decent if you want to get away for a day or two, wander around at your leisure, and read.
Pit toilet available at the Buttes trailhead.
Verizon service is spotty but I was still able to use maps.
GuideI had it all to myself, so I parked wherever I wanted. Found a level spot not far from the portable potty. Very quiet. Fantastic hosts.
ScoutI 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.
GuideLots of nice sites with fire pits. There are pit toilets at the trailhead as well. Pretty good Verizon service at most spots. My only complaint is that when I was there it was super windy!
GuideEasy drive to the campground area even towing a trailer. A bit dusty but at the end you can find nice grassy area (after all, it is a National Grasslands). Very windy place (hence the windmills in far distance) but we were lucky to get some breaks in between and set up the trailer to shield us against the wind. Stayed couple of nights and did the hikes to both of the “buttes”. From the second one you can get nice areal views if you climb a bit. It took us 3h in a very easy pace, lots of photo and views stops. It can probably be done in and 1h to 1.30h.
LegendGetting there: Located out in the plains South of Pawnee National Grassland near and a bit NE of Ft. Morgan off I-76
Check in and staff: We made an online reservation, entered and camped. We were on the far Southern side of the campground, which is much larger than it looks. Later we discovered the Visitor Center as we were leaving. The ranger there was very nice and helpful.
Amenities: Water is available, as are dumpsters. Roads are dirt/gravel and can be uneven in places, but not bad at all. Power available as well.
Bathrooms: clean, well kept. On the southern side near our site there is a single toilet, no shower. Those are located in the area near the visitor center, a long walk from where we were. They were reasonably clean, but we did not use them.
Site: Lakeside, on the Southern end of the campground. Cannot recall the number!
Comments: It was quite windy when we were there. On the other hand, no bugs!

Great place friendly helpful. Gravel lot, some road noise but never heard any at night, facilities were awesome, heated, lots of hot water plenty of stalls, close to TA truck stop to eat or get food etc
ScoutIt is exactly what they advertise it as. A reasonably priced place to camp if your self contained. A safe location and close to town. If that's what you want or just if you want to stop and spend the night, go on

General: Many different options: tent sites (with or without hookups), back-in 50/30 amps FHU (with or without patio), Pull-thru 50/30 amps (options include patio and/or hot tub), camping cabins and deluxe cabins.
Site Quality: All sites are level and have a concrete pad. Although the sites are close together with no privacy between them, there is some separation with a grass strip.
Bath/Shower: Code to enter and clean with soap and paper towels.
Activities: So many options. My favorite was the half-mile fitness trail that circles the lake. Other activities include mini golf, volleyball, basketball, pickleball, horseshoes, shuffleboard, bike rentals, a fishing pier, a pool, and a nicely appointed playground.
Other amenities include a library, laundry, train depot, paddle boats, and a small store.
While this is not our preferred type of camping, it suited our needs for a night en route home, and I loved the gravel fitness trail. It was not high season yet so some things such as the pool and paddle boats were not available, and the campground was not full so it was quieter than it would be on a summer weekend.
GuideThe campsites for tents were pretty close together and there were a lot of people camping, but the primitive spots were perfect and not far from the bathrooms. The trains were loud throughout the night and so were the the coyotes, but not a bad campsite.
Traveler
This place is dump. I've had more pleasant stays in Walmart parking lots with homeless people for neighbors. The people running the place seem to hate their customers and have nothing in the way of Christian kindness. Everyone that I had the displeasure of interacting with had a level of rudeness and pretentiousness inversely proportionate to their IQ.
ScoutThe 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
Traveler
Good cooking grill, good fire pit, not a lot of extra wood laying around. Spacious campground
Scout
RV site not level at all. Picnic table covered in bird poop, tree branches hanging low our TT barely fit under them. Cow smell was terrible and lots of flies. Would not stay there again.
TravelerWe saw some negative reviews, so weren’t sure what to expect, but thought it was great! We were in 25’ van in Site 87 Pelican Campground. Campground faces east and has a great view of the lake. The van created shade in the afternoon, but there’s no shade in the morning. Other camp sites had more trees, but then the view isn’t as good. Trade offs! Vault and flush toilets in each campground, but no soap dispensers to be found, so carry your hand sanitizer! Important detail - showers are coin operated (50 cents for a few minutes). We skipped the shower, but quarters could be important if you’re into cleanliness! Roads in/out are rock/sand, so a little rough in spots, but there were all kinds of campers who seemed to manage just fine - vans, pull trailers and big rigs. We like to relax by the lake, but didn’t check out the beach or any of the water sports, so can only say that it was a great place to stay for a couple of nights just to get away. Road gravel bikes from camp in the morning (OK riding, but not great - maybe better when there hasn’t been as much rain), relaxed and watched the water in the afternoon, and enjoyed the Dark Sky Community vibe at night. Perfect for what we needed!

This campground we we’re setting up in a rain storm. Not fun. We we’re not able to use the pool because of the storm. It was fine all gravel with plenty of work.
ScoutI'm female, the male staff were rude and made me feel uncomfortable. Full hookups are $100/night. Our spot was muddy puddles on both sides with a picnic table 4 feet from our neighbors sewage line. Laundry didn't have a good spin cycle and took forever to dry. Not great.
GuideThe roads coming in are well maintained due to all of the oil rigs that are coming in and out. Spent the night overlooking the Buttes and had a summer storm roll in. Didn't get to hike out to The Buttes because the trail was closed to protect bird nests.
