Best Campgrounds near Glendo, WY

185 Reviews

Glendo State Park in Wyoming provides numerous campgrounds surrounding Glendo Reservoir, with most concentrated along the shoreline offering scenic water views. The park houses developed campgrounds like Two Moon, Colter Bay, Reno Cove, and Bennett Hill, providing tent and RV camping options with varying levels of amenities. Most campgrounds feature basic facilities including picnic tables, fire rings, and vault toilets, while certain areas like Colter Bay and Two Moon offer electric hookups for RVs. Several primitive camping areas with fewer amenities also exist throughout the park for those seeking a more rustic experience.

Permits and reservations are required for most camping areas within Glendo State Park, with availability varying seasonally. Several campgrounds operate with self-check-in systems during off-peak periods. Potable water access varies significantly between campgrounds, with some locations like Custer Cove lacking water until mid-May. Fire restrictions are common, particularly during dry summer months when fire bans may be implemented despite the presence of fire rings at most sites. One visitor noted: "Beautiful sites but no potable water in the entire park until mid May so be sure to fill up before you get here."

Waterfront camping represents the most sought-after feature at Glendo State Park, with many campers prioritizing lake access for boating, fishing, and swimming activities. Custer Cove receives positive reviews for its lake views, while Reno Cove offers larger sites with electric hookups and good lake visibility. Several campgrounds including Soldier Rock Area provide dedicated boat ramps for easy water access. A camper observed that "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." Site spacing varies between campgrounds, with many reviewers appreciating that sites are "spread out so you don't feel like you are on top of each other," though some areas offer minimal shade or protection from wind.

    Arrowhead RV Park

    Not good 

    This was nothing like what I expected from the first and only review. 
 Toilets were in the adjacent coin laundry, only not available from 9pm to 6am. 
   No firepits. 
   Our site smelled of sewer gas from the neighbor. 
No picnic table. 
 They only take cash or check. We changed our minds upon smelling the sewer gas. Fortunately they returned my check immediately no problem.

    Riverside City Park

    Ok, but noisy

    Close to town and the highway. Dump station, water fill, and dumpsters. Really only down side is its very noisy.

    Grayrocks Reservoir Public Access

    Quick Overnight

    Gates 1-5 are very tight if you've got a large rig. Gate 6 and the loops nearest are the best for large RV's.

    Incredible lightening storm and sunset! Mosquitoes were in full force but to be expected.

    Glenrock South Recreation Complex

    Nice and free camping

    Our GPS was able to easily guide us here. Unfortunately it’s raining so we haven’t really explored the area but there is a small playground and it looks like maybe a rodeo set up. Each site has a grill set up which you can see in the picture. There’s also a picnic table and there is water available although there’s not a hook up at each site. There’s also a disc golf course set up. It is right next to the interstate so there is interstate noise but it’s not all that bad. Especially since it’s free. There’s lots of nice shade and some areas of sunshine also. The campground seems to be well kept up. Although we have a small rig After we got here, we saw someone with the large rig with a toad. It is now morning and both of us agreed the traffic was not a bother last night at all. There are people that bring their dogs out here to walk them off lead. And the trash cans were full. We would definitely stay here again.

    Pony Soldier RV Park

    Quiet RV park

    Personnel were very friendly. Parking is on dirt but it’s level and well packed sand. Full hookups at each site. Everything is clean and well manicured. Electric pedestals, water spigots, and sewer hookups are in excellent condition and easy to use. Picnic tables at most sites. I would definitely stay here again.
