To access Reno Cove from the I-25 exit, make your way through town to Glendo Park Road, and turn south towards the main fee booth. Just after the Main Fee Booth, turn left onto Lakeshore Drive, and follow Lakeshore Drive for about 3 miles; the campground will be on your right. Reno Cove follows a hillside which slopes towards the lake, and culminates in a long, low water boat ramp at the end. It is largely situated in a stand of small ponderosa pine trees, and is a campground with 22 campsites, spread over three separate areas, each of which has a nearby vault toilet. Sites 1 through 11 are all large sites with well-established camping pads, and electrical hookups. These sites will accommodate large rigs, and for the most part have little to no shade. Sites 9, 10, and 11 are partially shaded. All but one of the other campsites in Reno are undeveloped, with varying degrees of rougher terrain. Sites 2 and 18 have large, cement ADA compliant parking pad, although the access road to 18 is undeveloped. The other sites are better suited to smaller camping rigs and/or tent camping. Reno Cove has one water hydrant, which is located on the western side of the high water boat ramp parking lot. The campground also has two boat ramps: one for high water, and one for low water. This makes Reno one of two boat ramps which are reliably available year round.

Our family made the trip up from Colorado Springs for an extended weekend.  What an awesome state park that is far enough away for peace and quiet but close enough to get there in a day.  Great fishing and fun on the lake.  We stayed in a small cabin which made the weekend really nice!

Cabin

Sits on top of a hill with mostly cedars on the perimeter.  We only stayed one night, and it was a quiet one.  Had a big group of wild turkey wander through the next morning!  The campground was clean.

Reno Cove

Arrived at the state park gate and checked in with no issues. However, getting to Reno Cove Campground (CG) was a little confusing. The very nice lady at the gate was pretty sure you took the first left past the gate, which was correct. We were glad we had filled our fresh water tank before leaving our last stop (only had a little over an hours drive as we do not travel with a full tank on long drives) as there was no water spigot in the top portion of Reno Cove. We were in RC-11, which is a large, wide back-in with 50/30/20AMP electric. We were told at check in that if we didn’t like our site, we could go look at Two Moon CG. Glad we didn’t because Two Moon CG has several entrances and is large with 87 sites, most of which are primitive. The electric sites are stretched around the playground area. 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 but be sure to check site lengths and reviews on what type of trailers have been in a particular sites. Two Moon does have potable water spigots near each of the entrances. The rest of the CGs are primitive and we did not take the time to explore them all but they do have various sized sites, for example Shelter Point has big-rig friendly sites, but no electric. The challenge for some of the smaller ones are the rough gravel roads in. The Glendo State Park website under 'Campgrounds' gives a pretty good rundown on sites and which ones are electric. There was no shade at any of the Reno Cove sites but really good views of the landscape and reservoir in our site plus sites 7-10. We did not get any OTA channels nor is there WiFi in this CG. We got 4 bars on Verizon. The dumpsters for the Reno Cove area are down by the boat launch. 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. There was a fire ban while we were here but the fire pits we saw were pretty full of garbage. We would have better enjoyed the clear dark skies if the trailer across from us wasn’t lit up like a Christmas tree from dusk until literally dawn. That’s not the park’s fault, just more and more rude campers out there these days. You could also hear the trains from Glendo, but the sounds were not overwhelming.

Large State Park

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.
