Description
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.
