To access Sagebrush Campground from I-25, make your way through town to Glendo Park Road, and turn south towards the main fee booth. The first turnoff for the campground will be on the left-hand side of Glendo Park Road, and will also take you to the Whiskey Gulch Boat Ramp. The first sites in Sagebrush Campground which you will encounter this way are sites 20-18..
Sagebrush is a low-lying campground which is spread out over a ¼ mile of the southern lakeshore, and connects with Shelter Point and Whiskey Gulch campgrounds.
Sagebrush has 20 developed sites, which are located in 4 separate areas. The first area consists of sites 1 and 2, which are large pull-through sites, with little to no shade and excellent walking access to the beach. Sites 3 through 9 make up the next area, along with one vault toilet. The sites here are mostly back-ins with partial shade. Site three has an ADA compliant, cement pad, and is also fairly exposed. Site 9 is a group site, which will accommodate up to 3 camping units, and it has moderate tree cover.
The next area consists of sites 10 through 17, one water hydrant, and one vault toilet. These sites have established gravel parking pads, and are fairly close together, making this an ideal spot for groups who are looking to camp close to each other. Most of the sites have little to no shade, though sites 15 – 17 are partially shaded. The last area consists of sites 18 through 20. Site 18 is a group site, which will accommodate three camping units. Sites 19 and 20 are individual sites with partial shade and pull-through access. Sites 3 and 20 have an ADA compliant, cement pad.
Reservations Required May 1 through September 30 Outside of the season, all campsites revert to first come, first served (walk-in).
Sagebrush campground has very nice camp spots close to the water. Most have large cottonwood trees with shade throughout the day. All spots have a picnic table and campfire ring, though Platte county is usually first to put a fire ban in effect so make sure you check before lighting a fire!
our site, SB-07, was sandwiched between 08 and 06. tight, with the picnic table and fire ring super close to our neighbor's boundary. there was one place to hang our hammock using a tree trunk and one of the wooden posts. shade was good.
for $40 it was for out of state campers like us, there are definitely better sites at glendo state park like water point. also the vault toilet didn't have locks on it?
check-in was 2 or 3 and the check-out was 11. not reasonable in my eyes, we could've used that extra time in the morning and early afternoon.
nothing was overtly bad, but my expectations weren't met and i've definitely seen better.
