    Guernsey State Park Campground

    Panoramic Views with many camping options

    I was looking for a place along I-25 to break up a drive, and I was not disappointed. I was a little apprehensive picking a place 10+ mile East of the highway, since I know most of the great views fo the Tetons are West of the highway, but this place delivered in spades.

    First off, there are plenty of places to camp within the park. Choose from a beachside spot or a beach point (+100s of feet) view. I elected for a small, 3 plot only place called Davis Bay to get some solitude. The Ranger who ran into me during his rounds of the grounds said this place is pretty vacant on weekdays (I camped on a Wed) with places like the above mentioned spots along with Yurts and a place called "the Castle" available for group rentals.

    Overall the park is in really great shape, and I highly recommend a bike ride/hike/drive up to Brimmer's Point, which provides a lot of the views you'll see from the photos.

    My area had no water, and I noticed the same from Beachside spots. Skyline View campgrounds was the one with the potable water.

    While I imagine this place is fantastic for everything from water skiing and fishing to party boating along the river (with various launch points) it is highly dependent on the water level, which appears at the mercy of the township since this is a reservoir lake-related setup so if you're one for water sports, I recommend a call to the park to get a report on water levels.

    Guernsey State Park Campground

    Hot and sunny - but might be nice with a boat

    This was rated highly by others but we didn’t enjoy our stay. The State Park is spread out over a few miles around a lake formed by a dam. The entrance fee collector was not helpful in describing where to camp. Driving through it looks like you pay a fee to get in and then look for campfire rings for a dispersed camping site. Little loops are given different campground names. 

    It was hot and we needed some shade. We found one spot that was down a canyon and away from the water. We were the only ones in the loop so it was private but what a mess. Garbage was all over and I couldn’t even use the men’s vault toilet near us. Water pressure was amazing and garbage cans were easily found at the end of the canyon loop. 

    We did drive around to see the highlights and everything is out in the sun. They say they have miles of hiking trails but we didn’t go far because of the heat. 

    If you have a boat and get a spot by the water this might have been a different experience for us.

    Sandy Beach Dune and Willow — Glendo State Park

    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 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.

    Guernsey State Park Campground

    Beautiful Yurt and boat during the silt run

    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. Shared pit toilet, bring toilet paper. Picnic table with fire ring. Please buy all firewood locally, don't transport wood! Beautiful sunsets. You might be able to hear the artillery of the National Guard practice area when they are active - which is most of the summer. 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. If you like mud, the reservoir is a ton of fun, as the water level is down 25'. 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. There was not another camper at the yurt and we saw no one on the river as boats can't get to it due to the mud.

    Chuck Wagon RV Park

    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.

    Riverside Park Campground

    Close to Scottsbluff

    Open May 1– October 1. Got the second to last site on a Wednesday in July(you can reserve sites after the campground opens on May 1). We chose this campground for its proximity to Scottsbluff. Although there is a tent site area, the campground was filled mostly with large RVs. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming and even though it was not a large campground, the host escorted us to our site. He offered several times to deliver firewood to us if we wanted. Reasonable cost for sites($10 tent camping,$20 water and electric,$25 for full hook-up). Best sites are the ones at the end of the rows as they have a nice patch of lawn. Alcoholic beverages are permitted but must be consumed inside your rig/tent. WiFi is available but not a strong signal; using our own data worked much better. Restrooms were reasonably clean(accessed via a code) and there are showers. This campground is located within a city park and there are other facilities(fitness trail, dog park, and supposedly a zoo). I did a little exploring but rain was imminent so I didn’t wander far, however, the facilities outside the campground looked like they could have used a little TLC. Of course, there is a nearby train!

    Sandy Beach Dune and Willow — Glendo State Park

    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.

    Sandy Beach Dune and Willow — Glendo State Park

    Sandy, Antsy!

    We stayed overnight. When we got to the campsite on the beach we were so excited! Walked out to out our stuff down, and looking at the ground it was OVERRUN with giant ants! It looked like it was an apocalypse film with the critters. We moved our tent far away from the tree they were on and were able to set up shop. The facilities were okay, the lake was beautiful! Definitely recommend not camping straight on the beach unless you don’t mind ants and buggy critters.

The reservoir water levels fluctuate seasonally, which impacts recreational activities and access to certain camping areas.

What to do

Lake recreation: At Guernsey State Park, visitors can enjoy water activities when reservoir levels permit. "Nice for boating and swimming activities. Stayed at Sandy point loop.

What campers like

Privacy levels: Campers appreciate the well-spaced sites at Sandy Beach Dune and Willow, where some areas offer more seclusion than others. "The two sites we had reserved, 1520 and 1521, were spacious, clean, and sat right against the high water line providing great views of the reservoir."

Varied camping loops: Guernsey State Park features multiple camping areas with different atmospheres. "Forested; private sites available. Interesting history/museum. Some short trails. Bring bug spray," advises one visitor who enjoyed the reservoir views.

Off-season tranquility: For those seeking quiet glamping near Lingle, Wyoming, visiting during weekdays or shoulder seasons is recommended. "Guernsey State Park is pretty vacant on weekdays," reported one ranger to a camper exploring the park's diverse camping options.

What you should know

Seasonal water levels: The reservoir at Riverside Park Campground experiences significant fluctuation. "We tent camped here on the last night of a road trip after stopping at the national monument. It was a nice, quiet campground. The tent area was a nice open, grassy area."
