State Park

Amenities: Electricity (at select sites), Drinking Water, Day Use Group Shelter, Seasonal Boat Ramp and Courtesy Dock, Vault Toilets (3), Fee Canister, ADA accessible camping pads (3)

Bennett Hill is a wide open campground with 44 campsites, and can be most easily accessed from I-25 by turning north on Highway 319 in the town of Glendo, and then turning right onto Lakeshore Drive. Bennett Hill is about a mile down Lakeshore Drive, and will be on the left. The campground is spacious and has plenty of area for you and your family to enjoy the sun and some extraordinary night skies. Most campsites are exposed, with little to no shade, and are situated in a prairie of native grasses. The only exceptions are sites 11 through 20, which are up against a line of cottonwoods. All sites, except for 11 through 20 have large, established, gravel pads for RVs. Sites 11 through 20 are potentially impacted by high water, though trees prevent them from having direct water access. All other sites are a good distance from the water, though many have a decent view of Airport Bay. Sites 3,4, and 6, along with sites 26 through 29 are group sites, which will accommodate up to three camping units. The boat ramp is available seasonally, with the courtesy dock becoming usable in early Spring, and coming out of the water in late July to early August. The day use shelter is reservable from May 1 through September 30.

Reservation Info

The park is open year-round for day use and camping. Day use permits are required from 6AM to 10PM, and camping permits are required from 10PM to 6AM. Fee booths are open Mon-Sun, from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Otherwise, fees can be paid by cash or check, at canisters stationed at each park entrance, which are available 24/7.

Recommended for boating only

We stayed here one night on our way home from a long trip. Potable water is avail close to the latrines if needed. When we got to our site, BH-15, but we were confused b/c there was no pull through, carve out or any other markings other than a sign that said BH-15. Many other campers just put their rigs wherever they wanted. Our site had ankle deep weeds throughout. 4 dumpsters were actually overflowing with garbage and smelled awful. The latrines were in as bad of a shape as the dumpsters, flies and filth everywhere. We've stayed at many WY state parks and this was the worst. Will not be back. I'd rather Walmart 'camp'.

Convent and near boat ramp

Bennett Hill Campground has 3 electric hook ups and 40 non electric sites. The campground has a water spigot, a fish cleaning station, 2 vault toilets, a few shelters with grills and a boat ramp. Each site has picnic bench and a fire ring even thou there is a fire ban at the moment. Sites are spread out so you don’t feel like you are on top of each other. One unique thing is they have loaner life jackets to use for boating or swimming or water activities.

Not a Good Experience

By far the worst run state park we have visited in our 70k miles of RVing. The greeter at the front gate gave us no directions & no map. We wasted an hour looking for the elusive Bennett Hill campground. Finally got a park ranger in the phone and he directed us back to town. Once we finally found our spot, we found it soiled with someone’s dog poop. Really? The one dump station for the whole park is across from the ranger station which means back tracking several miles. The spot we were in, BH02, is listed as electric only, but in fact has water as well. Just another example of how poorly run this park is. It’s very windy, dirty, lacks privacy and we definitely are checking it off as a one time visit place. Disappointing as we love to camp near water which is what drew us in.
