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.

GuideFirst come, First Serve. $25/night. Level pads and easy to back into. Creek running behind the campground. Public Internet is available. There is a train nearby, but the whistle is not too loud. Would stay here again.
GuideClean and comfortable for dry camping. It doesn’t have any restroom but it does have a water outlet. Blue skies and birds all around. It’s a pay at the kiosk and charges higher for out of state visitors.
TravelerWe loved it here, nobody else camping close to our site. Water was low we sat in the trees peaceful lots of geese roads to campsites are bad big pot hole. Nice sunrise and sunsets. We stayed 2 nights would recommend
ScoutIt's our first night in Douglas, Wy. We planned to stay here, but found significant road construction blocking the south part of the road. The park is closed (apparently there's signage somewhere about that). This is Sept 22, 2026.
Otherwise it looks like a great stop.
GuideWe stayed one night at a power plug in as a treat and then moved to the no reservation area for a week or so closer to the water and had a wonderful time. Super soft sandy roads coming into the camp sites so had a few times getting our car stuck, probably not the best in that area for heavy rigs. The walk to the water is surprisingly long lol but lovely. The water was warm and pleasant during August. We had a wonderful time on the weekdays, weekends were a bit loud due to other campers. The Marina restaurant nearby is cute and everyone is really nice. Check out the nearby trail in the dam area. Trash on the way out which is great. Self serve pay.
GuideWas 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 means the site’s facilities are closed for now.
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."
