It’s officially summer, and you know what that means: it is camping season! While our beautiful mountains are a popular place for pitching a tent (and rightly so), other parts of the grand Centennial State are often overlooked, such as the northeastern prairie. If you are up for something new and exciting this summer, we recommend camping under the endless prairie skies at North Sterling State Park in Colorado:

Located near - you guessed it! - Sterling, North Sterling State Park is billed as being a "gateway to fun and relaxation"... and for a good reason!

Spanning an incredible 5,700 acres of pristine prairie, North Sterling State Park is truly the place to be for relaxing, thanks to its vast grasslands and wildlife sightings, clear skies, and quiet that you will only find along the plains.

In addition to the grasslands and open landscape, North Sterling State Park is also home to the 3,000-acre North Sterling Reservoir, the perfect place for boating, fishing, or playing in the sand.
