wentz family farm

3 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents100 acres · Fort Morgan, CO
This property has been in my family since 1900. It is still a working farm/ranch but we are looking to let a select few others enjoy our property. My grandfather built the lake with a d9 cat bulldozer in the 50's and we are just completing a sediment clean out and refurbishment of the lake. All of the trees were planted by my great grandfather and they afford lots of wildlife cover; wild turkeys, raccoons, skunks, squirrels, etc. The area we selected for camping is in a bowl so you have good privacy. The lake is stocked for fishing and because its private, no license is needed. The fishing hole and swimming hole are separate from the main lake and offer cheaper accommodations. We limit ourselves to 2 campsites to the 100 acres, so there is plenty of privacy. There is some road noise and smell from the local dairy that is about 1/2 mile away if the wind is right. Simple private camp spot - there is a swimming/fishing hole with dock and ladder. There is a year round creek and some small islands that can be explored. Fire pit, portapotty and propane grill are available. Potable water and sewage dump is available at main residence but not at camp site. This is designed to be a family friendly area that's great for younger kids. Area is also a pasture so cows and cow patties could be encountered and wild deer and turkey are around. If you have a larger family than 4 remember hipcamps policy is that younger children do not count towards the limit.

Cottonwood Tree Camp

2 sites · RVs, Tents5 acres · Brush, CO
When the farm house was built in 1909, the cabin was already here. We bought the weed patch with the intention of starting a flower farm. It was a cattle feed lot years ago and the soil should be very fertile. We'll use the composted manure in the Spring. Learn more about this land: Farm land off I-76 and Hwy 6. Set up camp under old cottonwood trees, between the wild plums and spruce trees. 31267 Road U, Brush CO 80723. Prewitt Reservoir and Elliot State Recreational Area nearby. Sunsets and sunrises are spectacular. See the stars at night. Wake up to the rooster's crow. We have alfalfa and corn to the north and grasslands to the south. Outhouse/port-o-potty is available. The train adds to the country feel. Irrigation ditch runs at least two days a week. Our chickens are friendly and used to dogs. Site #1 is better for small vehicles and tent camping. It is more protected. Site #2 is better for large RVs and trailers. Located down the road from nationally recognized Optimist disc golf course in Ft Morgan CO.

Camping near Sterling guide

Overview

While Colorado is well known for the majesty of the Rocky Mountains, there’s a magic to be found in the flatlands, as well, where expansive grasslands stretch into panoramic sunsets. Rocky cliffs and jagged buttes break up the openness. The town of Sterling is located near the tri-state intersection of Colorado, Nebraska, and Wyoming, providing a basecamp for exploring the Pawnee National Grassland and beyond. Nearly 200,000 acres of open prairies paint a picture of the lands that welcomed early frontiers. Camp in the park’s campground or dispersed camping areas. Book a private RV or tent campsite in the surrounding region, where you can stay on rustic ranches with open views or in cozy spots under cottonwoods. Or, look for a cabin or glamping getaway. Water-lovers might enjoy a stay at or a visit to North Sterling State Park, which offers boating and hiking, as well as a public campground.
