Waters’ Point is a moderately sized campground, which can most easily be accessed from I-25 by heading north on Highway 319 out of the town of Glendo, and then turning right onto Lakeshore Drive; the campground is approximately 3 miles down Lakeshore Drive, on the left-hand side. Waters’ Point provides access to two small beaches, one red sand beach, and one white sand beach. While both beaches are rockier than Sandy Beach, they are still excellent spots for swimming, or just for spending a day on the lakeshore enjoying the sun. The campground has 10 campsites, four of which (sites 1 and 3-5) have partial shade, and the other six of which have no shade. Waters’ Point is a perfect choice if you are looking for a slightly more rugged camping location.
$8 / night

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.

Like James reported, there are two very close sites with a third for handicapped. Quiet little town. My neighbor and I enjoyed a conversation.
Guide
The park was a great place to stay. Our spot was clean and level with electric. It was a convenient bike ride to the water. A vault was at the entrance of our particular site that was clean, well stocked and had a night light inside and out. The dump station is near the park HQ, as is potable water to fill your camper. There is no water at any of the sites.
Guide
Very nice campground. Sites are well spaces, green and well maintained. Great view of Scottsbluff. Highly recommend
Ranger
Spent two nights here. Some of the camp spots had electric, but the ones that were in where the trees were were all dry camping. Lots of great hiking trails though. High above the lake so no lake access here but boat ramp was maybe a mile down the road. Paid $94 for two nights which was for out of state visitor included electric and car permit. Had a fun looking playground for the kiddos.

No need to print receipt as the email says but if you don’t print it, call ahead. Also if you plan to use the lake, call ahead. It is drained once per year, usually in July. It’s only empty for about a week to ten days. We stayed at Sandy Point. Close to the lake, provided there is one. Also close to the train tracks. I like trains so it wasn’t an issue. Also they are going slow and are pretty quiet for freight trains. This is a great place to base to see numerous historical sites.

Able to pick own site. All pull through sites. Sites are close together. Electrical box and water connection appears to be relatively new. No frills.
TravelerIt was a weekend trip with a few of our friends. 6 Adults and 5 children. Three Rvs ranging from 16 ft to 35 ft. We got the group camping sites at Fish Canyon Campground 200A+B and 203A+B. We had planned on spending most of our time at the water but didn’t do much research. This was not the campground for that. Highly recommend going to Sandy Beach or any of the cove campgrounds if you plan on swimming. Watch out for high winds.
Traveler
There are only a few places to stay in this town and I was relieved on how safe and clean this facility was. Very nice pull through sights and the bathrooms were extremely clean. Dog park right across the street and big rig friendly. This is a smaller place but very easy to maneuver around no matter what size. Loved the grass at each site. Well taken care of and they paid attention to details making it perfect to stay. Definitely a great place for family or Solo Traveler.

We booked for a couple of days to visit Scott’s Bluff Monument, Chimney Rock, and Fort Laramie. Sites are gravel but pretty level. Full hookup site had 30 and 50 amp hookups along with water and sewer. For $25 a night it’s a good value.
RangerChose to stay two nights here to allow us to visit Agate Fossil Beds National Monument and Fort Robinson.
Sites are basically two parking stalls on a concrete pad. The only way to fit two RVs at a time would be if they were both vans, and that would be tight.
We were the only people staying, so we could put out our slides and camp in comfort.
Have 30 and 50 amp hookups, along with water.
Parked is very nicely kept and amazingly quiet at night. There are two bathrooms right next to the camp site.
Stay is donation based with deposit right next to camp sites.

It's decent but it's a concrete pad, you have to call city hall to get a code to unlock the water spigot and they close at 4pm. The area is clean but seems to be too expensive compared to other communities within 100 miles. Cross
the border and many Nebraska small towns offer cheaper or free stays. The atmosphere just isn't right but i came in late and needed a place to stay. For $25 next time i will look elsewhere. Maybe I'm cheap, but i expect more convenience for the price and fewer rules. No fires, no fire rings, your grille is ok, that's about all
Guide
We arrived after 5pm so the office was closed, but we found the camp spot easily with the information from the booking email, and our site had our names on it which was great. Walking around the beach by the lake was so nice and we found a fun tire swing. There were only a few other people there and we had a great campfire. The bathrooms weren’t great but overall a good spot!
Scout
Staff is extremely friendly. I took a shower immediately upon arrival and it was not a good experience. There were 3 stalls for women with no shower curtains covering each stall. Only 1 stall actually worked (barely). It took up to 7 minutes for the water to get warm and the pressure was a trinkle at best. I could not wash my hair because I would never get the soap out. Parking pad is dirt and weeds. Limited picnic tables. No fire pits. No propane. The train is across the road and loud horns. The last train we heard was 10p and it rain approximately every 40 minutes. Cash only to pay for site-$45 for 30 amp. The sunset was beautiful.
Scout
A great place for a night or two on your road trip. Gravel parking area with water and electric hoop up. $17 for electric and $34 for water and electric. The plug-in is at the front of the site, so our cord did not reach if we backed the camper (33ft) and truck all the way in. The shower house is nothing fancy but was clean (aside from all of the mosquitoes). Staff were very friendly.
ScoutThere were wrecked cars at the edge of the water, both sides of the “lake” are not much bigger than a pond.
We left and drove on!
GuideThis is an awesome city park. Water and electric on concrete pads. Good spacing between sites. Clean and open. Nice to walk about the whole area. Concrete bean bag toss games and about 5 horseshoe pitches. Bring your own toys. Basketball court and kids playground as part of the whole park. Dump station is easy to get to. Would definitely be back. This is a first come first serve park. But we had no problems getting a nice site.
Guide
We stayed here one night on our way home from a long trip. Potable water is avail close to the latrines if needed. When we got to our site, BH-15, but we were confused b/c there was no pull through, carve out or any other markings other than a sign that said BH-15. Many other campers just put their rigs wherever they wanted. Our site had ankle deep weeds throughout. 4 dumpsters were actually overflowing with garbage and smelled awful. The latrines were in as bad of a shape as the dumpsters, flies and filth everywhere. We've stayed at many WY state parks and this was the worst. Will not be back. I'd rather Walmart 'camp'.
Ranger
This spot was quite. There no hook ups … while we where there, the area had a lot of rain that kinda cause a bit more wet than the normal. Great MTB and hiking trail. They even offer archery, 3d targets and archery range. This is at the ranger headquarters. The reservoir is massive so boat or your fun floating gadgets-you will have fun.
GuidePros:
Level sites
Easy place to get in and out of
Water, electricity, sewer, (I also noticed cable hookups but did not inquire about them)
Fairly priced
Conveniently located
Wifi
When we checked in we were given a list of places to eat, get fuel, walk the dogs
Cons:
None that I can think of at the moment.
We used this place as an overnight stop on our way back home, it was everything you could ask for in an overnight stop. I have zero complaints and think it was the best overnight campground we had stayed at on the entire trip.
GuideWe stayed at BJ’s Campground for just one night while passing through the area. We were in our class C while slowly making our way across the country. We had no problems getting a spot here. Sites are gravel for the RV, very level, and very well maintained. All sites are pull through. Hookups are in very good condition. Each site had a grassy area with a covered picnic table. Staff was very friendly and helpful. There was a park across the street with a playground.
The access to the campground was easy. Use caution when exiting the park. Google Maps took us down a block to exit the park. This was convenient for our campsite, but ended up with a couple of deep dips at crossroads. The streets coming into the park did not have dips.
We had 2 bar LTE with Verizon. Our hotspot was usable and performed very well. The campground wifi was average at best.
We enjoyed our brief stay at this campground. We will stay again when traveling this way.
GuideVery large sites, spaced well away from neighbors. Grounds are meticulously kept. Would have stayed here longer, but it was 100 degrees in the shade!
Traveler
Spots are just off the highway but it was quiet, pull through parking lot with no trees. 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. It worked great for us!
Scout
This cute city park used to offer free electrical for up to 3 nights. We used to stop on our way through, get gas, grocery shop, go to a cheap movie at their goofy little theater, and eat at Guadalajara. Not anymore. The lady who owns the RV park in town complained and got the town to remove access to the electrical hookups. I hope the town realizes I’m not paying to stay in her crappy RV park. I’m just not going to stop and bring business there at all now. Contact the town council and let them know if you feel the same. Maybe they’ll realize it wasn’t the best choice to kowtow to her.
