Clean Campgrounds

Went last July and the campsites were clean and well maintained. Firewood & other amenities are provided as well on the other side of the lake, super convenient! Only complaint was there were so many bugs at night in the morning.

Wind and Sandburs

There are bathrooms with plumbing and vault toilets. All of the leantos are set up so there is no view of the lake. My dog kept getting sanburs in her paws because they were everywhere. This is a one night place. $36 to camp

I was pummled by the wind when it was fron the north and south. The water is not individual hook up it is shared with the campsites around you.

At 8a the ranger was banging in my door to explain the water situatuon since I had hooked directly up to it. There were no other campers at the site but she felt it critical that I unhook my hose. The ranger from the previous day and campsite host never seemed to care.

Beautiful and Open

Very nice RV site with nice pull through spots! We booked a couple weeks ago and still ended up with a wonderful location! All of the sites we noticed had a lot of room so you didn’t feel like you were on top of each other. Great place for short hike with young kids. Lastly, amazing sunsets!

Excellent and Blissfully Quite

We 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.

Inlet Grove Campground, North Sterling State Park

North Sterling State Park is completely open and the reservoir is full and the fish are jumping. Inlet Grove campground has lots of water spigots throughout the campground (every four or five sites) and a dump station with water at the entrance. Camp host has firewood and is available every day. If you also boat, check with PJ’s Marina to rent a covered slip in their little marina for $15 a night. They have live bait and Jim is super friendly and knowledgeable about the reservoir. Best sites waterfront IMHO are 117, 119, and 121 and 123. If you fish, you can do it right from your campsite in a few of these (I’m dreaming of a lake-to-Blackstone in 15 minutes kind of dinner...). This campground is well laid out so you don’t feel like you are right on top of your neighbors. Sites are decently level and the dirt doesn’t get muddy in the rain, must have a lot of sand Innit? Pictures from the camper door in site 119. Water spigot within long hose reach at the campsite across from us.

Secluded camping area

For an overnight stay this suited its purpose just fine.  Clean restrooms and sites. Treeless campsites with a shelter for sun and wind protection. But in October, the weather was accommodating.   Would definitely go here again for an overnighted on my way to the Rockies from the east on 80.

Very windy with little cover

Good access to the lake right by but very very windy on the plains. Had a shade cover but not much else. I was glad we were only passing through.

Nice and Quiet

stayed overnight on a Tuesday while traveling to MN. sites are great! They have sheltered picnic tables and nice fire pit. Electric only, but water available to fill your holding tank and a dump station. Not many others were camped here, and most seemed to be just staying the night. Lots of birds in this area for anyone who loves bird watching. And, I captured a pic of 2 bucks making their way through the tall grass as I was heading out! I'll stay here again!!

Great find in the middle of nowhere

This campground has a lot of great spots with a view of the lake. However if you have a boat and camper get a pull thru spot. Btw a ranger found a bull snake. That was huge. Non poisonous. But surprise. Ha ha

Sterling State Park - Northeastern Colorado

We were here in mid April and there was one other RV there. The campground allows views in all directions, that seem to go on for a hundred miles. Located in northeast Colorado, it is a nice “stop-off” for the road-weary traveller. Water, showers, flush toilets and power hook-ups are provided.
