The eastern Wyoming landscape surrounding Hartville features a range of camping options centered around reservoirs and state parks. Guernsey State Park Campground, located directly in Hartville, serves as a focal point with sites for tents, RVs, and even yurts scattered around a reservoir with distinctive rock formations. Within a 30-mile radius, campers can access Glendo State Park's multiple campgrounds including Two Moon, Colter Bay, and Sandy Beach, each offering varying levels of amenities and water access. Grayrocks Reservoir Public Access Area provides dispersed camping opportunities for those seeking fewer neighbors and more primitive conditions.
Weather patterns in this region can change dramatically, with temperature swings of up to 45 degrees within 24 hours as noted by several campers. "Be careful of the weather change. Within 24 hours the forecast changed from 80° to 35°," reports one Guernsey State Park visitor. Many campgrounds operate seasonally, with Larson Park Campground open from April 1 to October 15, while others like Guernsey State Park remain accessible year-round. Road conditions vary significantly, with some campgrounds requiring navigation through switchbacks and elevation changes that can challenge larger RVs. Fire restrictions are common during summer months, particularly at Grayrocks Reservoir where fires are prohibited entirely. Cell service is spotty throughout the region, with T-Mobile reported at some locations.
Waterfront sites receive mixed reviews across the area's campgrounds. While lakes and reservoirs provide recreational opportunities, campers note that boat noise can be significant during daytime hours at locations like Two Moon. "There is quite a bit of boat noise if you are near the water, but it quiets down at sunset," mentions one reviewer. Shade is limited at many sites, making summer camping challenging without proper preparation. Railroad noise affects several campgrounds, particularly Chuck Wagon RV Park where trains pass frequently. Historical attractions enhance the camping experience, with Oregon Trail ruts, Register Cliff, and Fort Laramie all within driving distance of Larson Park Campground. Facility maintenance varies widely, with some visitors reporting clean bathrooms while others note neglected conditions, particularly at Sandy Beach.
"At the entrance is a good place to fill up fresh water tanks if you are staying at a dispersed site. The dump station is at the entrance as well."

TravelerWas weird camping by a golf course, small cute, clean area. Had electrical and water, no dump station. Nice dog park across the pond/creek/river and access to a trail system that took you to historical sites in the area.
Could not book online need to go into golf house to reserve a site. They will give you a sticker/paper to put on your camper. Glue did not come off when peeled the paper off the camper.
GuideI stopped here on my way from Florida to Shoshone National Forest. It was very convenient and provided water and electric. All the sites were back in but with plenty of space.
TravelerMultiple pull outs and super close to the water, only down side is a lot of cars driving past and can be pretty loud. Other than that wasn’t a lot of people on Labor Day. And bathrooms are only near the boat launch not near camping.
GuideRoad construction in front of the park mean the site’s facilities are closed for now.
RangerWould be 4 stars if there were at least some kind of direction. The first entrance you come to is technically the end of the campground if you consider the higher number sites being the end. The second entrance has a line of dumpsters and starts with the camp host. There are no signs at the forks telling you which numbers are which direction. So we guessed and thankfully were right. Although the gravel road is mostly smooth for a gravel road there is a little washout in some areas and we'd prefer not to drive around the whole place just trying to find our spot. Only saw one sign while riding our scooters through the park that indicated a set number of sites in the teens so make sure to save or screenshot a map. Its not a huge campground but who really wants to drive the whole grounds. Vault toilets dotted throughout but we never used them. There is for sure a water fill station at the first entrance. We were already full but someone was using it to fill when we drove in so it appears to be in good working order. Dumpters at both ends. Newer boat ramp and plenty of parking available for trucks w/ boat trailers either in the paved lot or on the beach. Rangers with invasive species check station in operation. Water level was very low during our visit but still beautiful. Was also clearly stated on the website along with other alerts such as the bloom and fireban. The bloom did not seem to affect the area we were at. The water was clear and clean. Our site #4 very large pull through and its quite sloped. We had to use 3 blocks on the right side to level. Can see the water through the trees. Every evening the deer made a loop around us for dinner grazing. They even came quite close. Very cute. Only other complaint is some of the people would drive by quite fast and kick up a lot of dust. There is only one dump station for the entire park located at the park head quarters after shelter point campground and the marina.
RangerRight of rt25 in Wheatland with beautiful mountain views. Super friendly and helpful owner would definitely stay again. Very clean laundry/bathroom building. Gravel dirt lot with cement pads, full hookups and picnic tables. Very long sites can accommodate big rigs. I reserved by phone a week in advance. No credit cards so bring check or cash $60 at the time of my visit.
TravelerNo thrills, but convenient campground. Hookups all in great condition. Small lot but easy to maneuver. Quiet part of town with easy access to the highway.
GuideHere's a place to drop anchor when it's been a long day of driving. For $25 bucks (July 2026) you get a level site, electrical power and water. And, you get access to a black tank dump as you leave. The surrounding park grounds are wonderful to stroll in the cool of the evening to get rid of that "been sitting & driving all day" blues. Torrington the town offers services & food. When it's time to stop, this place offers the solice needed.
GuideNice KOA, but as usual, you’re very close to your neighbor. It’s hot, so we had to have electrical hookups. There are many sites, but they parked us RIGHT NEXT to another camper, with many empty ones to choose from.
Eastern Wyoming's Hartville region sits at approximately 4,600 feet elevation with a semi-arid climate characterized by significant temperature swings throughout the year. Camping opportunities extend beyond Hartville proper into Glendo State Park, where multiple campgrounds offer varying degrees of access to the 12,000-acre Glendo Reservoir. Winter camping requires preparation for temperatures that frequently drop below freezing.
Boating and water activities: Grayrocks Reservoir Public Access provides direct water access with multiple boat launches. "Free public access camping. Many spots right on the water. Great boat launches. Arrive Thursday or Friday AM to get a decent spot," notes camper Chris M.
Fishing opportunities: Multiple access points for anglers at various campgrounds around Glendo Reservoir. At Two Moon — Glendo State Park, one camper observed the area was "Perfect for fishing" with "large area for the kids to play and water all around us."
Historical exploration: Within 30 minutes of Larson Park Campground, visitors can explore several historical landmarks. "A must see is the Oregon Trail ruts located just a short distance away. Be sure to visit Register Cliff just a few miles away and Fort Laramie is 30 minutes down the highway," according to one visitor.
Waterfront camping: Many campers appreciate sites directly on the water. At Sandy Beach Dune and Willow, a reviewer noted their sites "were spacious, clean, and sat right against the high water line providing great views of the reservoir."
Stargazing opportunities: The region offers excellent night sky viewing when conditions permit. At Reno Cove, campers mentioned they "would have better enjoyed the clear dark skies if the trailer across from us wasn't lit up like a Christmas tree."
Hiking trails: Several campgrounds connect to trail systems. At Two Moon campground, visitors reported they "spent the weekend kayaking, swimming and floating on tubes and also took some time to enjoy several of the hiking trails in the park."
Seasonal water availability: Not all campgrounds have year-round water access. A camper at Custer Cove — Glendo State Park warned: "Beautiful sites but no potable water in the entire park until mid May so be sure to fill up before you get here."
Fire restrictions: Fire bans are common throughout summer months. At Grayrocks Reservoir, fires are prohibited entirely, with one visitor noting: "Be advised as of Jun 2025 no fires are permitted. Bring propane gas cookers, or cook in your camper/RV."
Insects and wildlife: Prepare for seasonal bugs, especially in waterfront areas. A camper at Grayrocks Reservoir reported: "Minimal bugs at my specific site but the more trees, the more bugs you have." Another at Sandy Beach mentioned: "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!"
Noise considerations: Railroad noise affects campgrounds near tracks. At Chuck Wagon RV Park, a reviewer warned of "Commercial Trains goes all night and day with loud horn."
Consider yurt accommodations: Guernsey State Park Campground offers four yurts for families wanting more shelter. "Guernsey has 4 yurts you can rent for $40/night. Clean, all have electricity. Bunk beds with mattresses and fold out futon couch. Wood fire stove if you need heat," reports a camper.
Best swimming areas: Sandy Beach offers a two-mile shoreline for water access. "Sandy Beach campground, being true to its name, provides a great two mile long beach to relax and play on," notes one visitor.
Playground access: Some campgrounds include play structures for children. Regarding Two Moon campground, a reviewer mentioned it has "a lot of options for camping spots" with a playground area near the electric sites.
Electric hookup locations: At Reno Cove, RVers should note the electrical layout. "We were in RC-11, which is a large, wide back-in with 50/30/20AMP electric," reports one RVer, adding "The electric sites are stretched around the playground area."
Water fill stations: Plan water fills before arriving. A Reno Cove visitor advised: "The nearest potable water is straight past the main park entrance a couple of miles away just past the Marina across from the State Park Headquarters at the dump station."
Site selection for larger rigs: Not all campgrounds accommodate big rigs. A reviewer at Colter Bay warned: "I would not suggest traveling around Two Moon with a large 5th wheel as there are pine trees overhanging and narrow roads that would have scraped the heck out of our 39' 5th Wheel. You'd be fine with a smaller travel trailer."
