"We stopped here for the night on our way to the Mountains. (Tent Camping!) The manager was very friendly. Reserving was easy, it is place quiet and open. There’s a small play area for kids."
"The downtown Sterling was nice. Jane was very helpful with directions and things to do and see. Jane was wonderful in helping us to stay for 2 nights. You're the bomb, Jane, as my kids would say."

"At the site of Cabella’s headquarters as well as the site of the original Cabella’s store.
The campground does not take reservations. It’s first-come, first-served."
"Coin laundry services. Clean bathroom and showers. Right next to the Cabela’s store, within walking distance to food, coffee, Walmart."
"We used full hookups and it was perfect for what we needed. It is close to I-80 for easy access."
"Within walking distance of a couple of bars and grills and a bowling alley, so make sure to check them out. Cash only and no advance reservations, but plenty of spots were left when we were there."
"2,400 Acre shallow lake with beaches.
Boating: 2,431-acre lake open to wakeless boating. The lake is situated on 3.400 acres of wetlands."
"Basic “at large” camping here with vault toilets and dumpsters provided but NO POTABLE WATER. Suitable sites for tenting, van and RV parking lie along the verge of the reservoir high water line."
"Sites are level with what appears to be full - hookups at all sites. Front desk was very helpful and check in was easy. Showed up with no reservation and was in my spot quickly."

"We needed to stop on the way to the mountains and most places were full but we found a spot in Brush. It had 12 sites with Electric and Water."
"This includes 30 amp electricity, water, wifi and a dump station. The city is using a new automated system and it is located at the entrance to the campground."
LegendWe needed to stop on the way to the mountains and most places were full but we found a spot in Brush. It had 12 sites with Electric and Water. Memorial Park was pet friendly, heated restrooms and showers, picnic shelters, playground, and disc golf. There was also a fishing pond across the street. We were excited to find out the first night was free and after that it was $20. It was a good place to spend the night.
RangerAt the site of Cabella’s headquarters as well as the site of the original Cabella’s store.
The campground does not take reservations. It’s first-come, first-served. You drive in and find a site, then go to a cashier in the store to register.
Approximately $40 for a 50amp FHU site with grass, a table, and a grill. Sites are level with gravel pads. They also have sites with electric only and a tent area. Showers are clean, as well as the laundry room.
Big rig friendly, but arrive around 3pm since the place fills up fast later in the day.
Note: cable is good with about 60 clear channels. AT&T phone signal is poor here.
ScoutVery clean, first-come, first-served grounds for RV/Camper/Tent. Coin laundry services. Clean bathroom and showers. Right next to the Cabela’s store, within walking distance to food, coffee, Walmart. It is, however, right next to a major highway, so it is very loud.
ScoutThis year the park opened a new section which provides this park with many more excellent pull through spaces. It was clean, and of course in April it did not have but a handful of campers the Friday that we stayed there.
Like all Colorado State Parks there is an entrance fee to pay at the gate. AND to camp you must make reservations online. They do not assign camp spaces or take camping payments at the Visitors Center. You must make them online. The cost for the park is listed online and at some spaces you will find 50 and 30 amp electricity available. Fresh water is available throughout the park and a dump site. It is a very comfortable and peaceful area with hiking, fishing, boat rentals and other activities available.
RangerThis is a great location off of I80 if you don’t need any amenities. I boondock often so this was a perfect place for me to sleep at. Cell signal was excellent and let me work remotely. It’s quiet and I’m pretty sure I was the only person there at night. There are bathrooms if you need it. Highly recommend if you need a beautiful free spot!
RangerWe stopped overnight and loved the pull-through sites of the inlet grove sites. Last night we awoke to a chorus of howling coyotes.
I would stick to the sites furthest from the water because the geese were very loud and honk non-stop.
Very tidy campground. No running water in the bathrooms but lots of spigots around the grounds.
I think our site was the best (140) because we didn’t face any other site, were at the end, and it felt private. The other sites weren’t too private.
The dump station was a dream with potable water at the end of the islands and totally separate from the sewage area.
GuideFull hookups for $45. Clean facilities and well maintained grounds. Sprinklers turn on at 9:30 so don't leave anything out. Dog friendly but wish they had a fenced in area for them to run off leash.
TravelerWe were coming from Nebraska and heading West in a Ford F-150 pick up truck pulling a 22 foot travel trailer. We stopped in Sterling, CO to fill up gas. If you are taking road 14, just know that it is at least 60 miles before the next gas station, so plan accordingly. We left Sterling heading west on highway 14, until we got to county road 129 where the pavement ends and we headed north into the grasslands. We simply followed the Google maps directions to get all the way to the Pawnee Buttes Trailhead parking lot from there! It was pretty easy, honestly! The roads are all gravel, so just take your time. They were pretty well maintained, due to the industry traffic that goes through there. We came across a couple of eighteen wheelers. The gravel was pretty compacted and seemed pretty safe. There are several areas to pull off, and if you are pulling a trailer, or you have a big rig, there is a loop parking lot at the Pawnee Buttes Trailhead that you can turn around in if you need to. The picture of me and the dog is standing on County Road 110 just before you get to the parking lot for the trail head. Our camping spot was one of many flat areas off of road 110 that you can pull off on, as long as it is 300 feet or less from the edge of the road. Our spot was before you get to the trail head, but if you pass the parking lot and keep going up the hill on Pawnee Buttes Trailhead Road, there are tons more spots to camp up on the ridge about a quarter mile or so. There are a lot of cows, but they are shy, curious animals. We had our pit bull with us, and we didn’t feel threatened. Just make sure that if you go through any gates while wandering the grasslands, you shut them behind you. There are no garbage facilities, so please LEAVE NO TRACE! There are some vault toilets in the parking lot.
GuideCity of Brush Campground was a perfect spot for us. We spent one night at a cost of $25.00 per night. This includes 30 amp electricity, water, wifi and a dump station. The city is using a new automated system and it is located at the entrance to the campground. There's a city park, pool and a very cool little museum adjacent to the campground. We had a very quiet nights sleep even though the campground was quite busy.
