Camping near Sedgwick

Welcome to the lands where the antelope play. Colorado’s Eastern Plains offer quite a contrast to the western part of the state, which rollicks with high peaks. The vast grasslands offer a quiet beauty, found in watching the wildlife, colorful sunsets, and sparkling stars above. This tranquility can be enjoyed in the town of Sedgwick, located near the border of Colorado and Nebraska. To take in the scenery and learn about pioneer history, head to the Pawnee National Grassland, which has almost 200,000 acres of rolling prairies. Or, check out the South Platte River Trail Scenic and Historic Byway, which connects historic sites such as Fort Sedgwick and a Pony Express station. Sedgwick camping spots can be found amid the cottonwoods and grasslands. For public campgrounds, check out nearby Jumbo Reservoir State Wildlife Area, which offers tent and RV campsites along the shores of a 1,500-acre lake. Venture further west to find North Sterling State Park.
