Closed bathrooms 10 to 12
Check out at 11 and they close bathrooms 10 to 12, not smart since u have tent sites and they need a bathroom. Tent spots were nice with grass. No fire pits! Overall fine.

Guernsey State Park Campground houses four furnished yurts available for $40 per night, providing a comfortable glamping alternative with electricity, bunk beds with mattresses, and a fold-out futon couch. These distinctive accommodations also feature wood-burning stoves for heat during cooler months, allowing guests to enjoy the park's beautiful scenery year-round without sacrificing comfort. "The Yurts here are great—clean, with electricity. We had a wonderful time!" shared one visitor who appreciated the blend of outdoor experience with essential amenities. Douglas KOA and Chuck Wagon RV Park also offer glamping accommodations near Glendo, providing additional options for travelers seeking canvas accommodations with more amenities than traditional camping. Each location provides picnic tables and fire rings at designated sites, while maintaining proximity to restroom facilities and scenic reservoir views.
Several hiking trails wind through Guernsey State Park, offering glampers easy access to outdoor recreation directly from their yurt doorsteps. The park's location on the reservoir creates opportunities for boating, swimming, and fishing when water levels are optimal, though one reviewer noted, "If you plan on swimming, highly recommend going to Sandy Beach or any of the cove campgrounds." For history enthusiasts, the park serves as an excellent base camp for exploring nearby historic sites, including the famous Oregon Trail Ruts. According to a camper, "We stayed in the Yurts here for part of my honeymoon. Great views and very peaceful. Close to the Oregon Trail Ruts." During summer evenings, glampers can enjoy spectacular sunset views over the water from several vantage points within the park, particularly from elevated areas like Brimmer's Point, which offers panoramic vistas of the surrounding landscape and water features.

Not being kept up
My husband and I are Wyoming residents who have been coming here for years. We went 3 times this last summer. This place is being treated terribly, not being cleaned and kept up, and the park is profiting off of out of towners who are coming in and taking over our land. The bathrooms in sandy beach are disgusting with the exception of one that appears to be cleaned daily. There were branches and debris everywhere and fire bans were in effect all summer long. Fire pits are there for a reason and have been forever, with our ancestors. The fire bans are completely unnecessary. The water level of the lake had shrunk significantly each time we came back which shows that it was not being refilled at all. And on top of all of this they were charging at least$5 more a night than the previous year. If you’re going to be taking our money and charging us more, then you need to take care of this land and stop allowing out of towners to come and take it over. This is our land and this is not going unnoticed by your residents.

Nice campground
We stayed here for 4 days. We weren’t sure what to expect from such a small town but we’re pleasantly surprised. This KOA Has putt putt golf for $2,activities, a tennis court, basketball and swimming. Also something extra is a s’more shack and coffee cabin. There are ample amount of RV and tent sites. They offer cable and WiFi. We were frustrated with the WiFi as it was very spotty. There are 3 cabins with picnic benches and grill, and a yurt that they use for activities. As there is a fire ban right now there were no fire rings. The shop has RV and other essentials needed if you need. Also has a few groceries and souvenirs. Staff are helpful and kind and we had a nice stay.

Jackalope Capital
Douglas KOA
Home of the Jackalope! Douglas, Wyoming that is. They claim the original “discovery” of the Jackalope and everyone else just followed suit. There is a Jackalope silhouette outside of town on a hill, there are Jackalope lick Nessie’s throughout town and there is a Jackalope Square that has Farmers Market on Saturday’s that has a huge statute of said Jackalope.
The KOA is a larger one and more so like a parking lot then anything else. The staff were awesome! Very friendly and informative. A few things of note, the trash receptacles are placed throughout the campground which is nice. The dog park is a bigger one and there were actually locations for horses.
Not much shade AT ALL, and the wind whip’s through a lot. I was informed though that’s a Wyoming thing anyway. Miniature golf, swimming pool and camp kitchen as expected. The WIFI , I’m sorry to say, sucks and is not private. I’ve noticed in my travels though that NONE of the KOA’s have very good WIFI. I was fortunate and got an end site, near the office/shower (clean w/short shower heads and counters)and I had shade. A few days before I arrived in early September it had already snowed and the temperature had dropped into the 20’s. It was in the 50’s my first day and is a comfortable 75 today with a lite breeze. Douglas has some interesting history and historical sites nearby so it’s worth a visit if your exploring the old west or just driving through. Make sure you keep your gas above 1/2, the highways are a long way between gas stations and the speed limits are usually 70-80 MPH.- NNathan K.

Nice place to stop
We stopped at the RV park on our drive home and stay for a night. Nice white box with hook ups for water and for power and a nice laundry room close by an offer less than 50 bucks. Scenery off of interstate in Wheatland, Wyoming, it’s not all that pretty but it’s a great place to stay on a drive through Wyoming.

Nothing special but clean
This is the better of the 2 rv parks in town. Again its mostly working people doing extended stays. Its sandwiched between a trailer park and a couple of gastations. It is gravel lot in-between city streets. It is a quiet area but has some foot traffic. 3 bars verizon signal. All the standard hookups and big propane tanks uou can rent. Their is also a coin laundry room on site.

Terrible terrible customer service
Very small dirty park located 15 ft away from rail road . Commercial Trains goes all night and day with loud horn. High voltage tower is right next to park .Dog poops are everywhere . Site 11&12 are between 2 residential ( broken fence, very threshed scene). $35 per night but for Passport America discount she raised to $44.50 plus 12.25% tax charged . We were questioned about this tricky pricing , she has absolutely rude, nasty, attitude and said I can give you money back just leave . They Don’t know how to talk to guest nor doesn’t care guest relationship. Highly not recommend this place for surroundings, terrible customer service , not honest business ethic.

Needed a Good Nights Rest
The campground is fairly easy to find as long as you look for the KOA signs. There are a few turns off the highway but the signs lead you here.
Arrived at 6pm and the office was closed. They had a very clear self check-in process. Bathrooms and laundry facility requires a passcode and are clean and convenient.
Limited privacy but everyone was friendly and kept to themselves.

Dusty Where did the water go??
Sandy Beach Willow campground one of the only two sites with power but no water. It was okay after we cleaned it up. Water was so far away we didn't bother. It could have been much better. Noise, overcrowded, and trash. Come on; people pick up after yourselves.
Guide to Glendo
Glendo State Park sits at approximately 4,500 feet elevation along the North Platte River in eastern Wyoming. The reservoir covers 12,000 acres when full, though water levels fluctuate seasonally based on irrigation needs. Campgrounds in the Glendo area experience significant temperature variations throughout the year, with summer highs reaching 90°F and winter temperatures often dropping below freezing.
What to do
Boating during silt run: Mid-July offers a unique experience at Guernsey State Park Campground when water released from Glendo Reservoir flushes silt downstream. "The best time we had here was during the silt run, which is in mid-July each year. Water being released from Glendo Reservoir will flow through Guernsey Reservoir flushing silt from Guernsey Reservoir into the canals of downstream irrigators," explains Sarah N.
Kayaking in low water: When water levels drop at Sandy Beach Dune and Willow, muddy conditions create a challenging but rewarding paddling experience. "Transporting kayaks through the mud proves challenging - don't fall down or lose a shoe. The reward is a fantastic, easy float of the North Platte river from the reservoir all the way to the edge of town," notes a visitor.
Hiking local trails: Multiple trails under 2 miles wind through the park. "Nice for boating and swimming activities. Stayed at Sandy point loop. Sites were nicely spread out for a major CG. Most near water had trees. Ones in middle not much shade," reports lee's freelance M.
What campers like
Beach access: The sandy shoreline extends for two miles along certain sections of the reservoir. "Sandy Beach campground, being true to its name, provides a great two mile long beach to relax and play on," reports Holly R.
Off-season tranquility: Visiting outside peak summer months provides more solitude at Douglas KOA. "There weren't as many campers this year and staff thought maybe because the high gas prices and that Yellowstone flooded might be the cause. The staff was really friendly," shares Shannon G.
Historical attractions: The area serves as a base for exploring pioneer history sites. "Douglas, Wyoming has some interesting history and historical sites nearby so it's worth a visit if your exploring the old west or just driving through. Make sure you keep your gas above 1/2, the highways are a long way between gas stations," advises Shelly S.
What you should know
Limited shade availability: Many campsites lack tree cover. "Not much shade AT ALL, and the wind whip's through a lot. I was informed though that's a Wyoming thing anyway," notes a visitor to Douglas KOA.
Seasonal bathroom closures: Facility availability varies throughout the year at Mountain View Park. "Clean bathrooms, coin showers and laundry right across the street. We didn't need the hook ups, just pulled in and out early next morning," reports a traveler named C.
Variable water levels: Reservoir levels change dramatically throughout the season. "The water level of the lake had shrunk significantly each time we came back which shows that it was not being refilled at all," notes Lady B. about Sandy Beach.
Tips for camping with families
Insects on beaches: Prepare for ant activity near shoreline campsites. "When we got to the campsite on the beach we were so excited! Walked out to put our stuff down, and looking at the ground it was OVERRUN with giant ants! Definitely recommend not camping straight on the beach unless you don't mind ants and buggy critters," warns CarrieIsWhere? P.
Yurt camping alternatives: For families seeking yurt camping near Glendo, Wyoming, Chuck Wagon RV Park offers canvas accommodations as an alternative to state park yurts. "It is a small park with 16 Full hook up sites. Each site has a picnic table but no fire ring (which we are finding normal for this area)," notes Shannon G.
Activity options: Multiple recreation choices keep children entertained. "Fun place to go. Cool hiking trails, fun biking trails, good place to explore history, swim and boat. Campsites are spread out so you can find what you need," shares James K.
Tips from RVers
Noise considerations: Train activity affects some campgrounds in the area. "Spots are just off the highway but it was quiet, pull through parking lot with no trees," reports C. about Mountain View Park.
Space constraints: Some sites have limited room for larger rigs and tow vehicles. "Although it was affordable for our 25 foot 5er, we barely fit in our assigned spot length wise. We parked the truck beside the camper which took up most of the outdoor space," explains Mary about Douglas KOA.
Utilities and amenities: Water quality varies between locations. "The water tastes a bit funny even after our filter system. We stayed twice, coming and going so not a horrible place but also not a destination campground," notes an RVer at Douglas KOA.
