With reservations available at $10 per night, Shelter Point operates as an elevated campground within Glendo Reservoir State Park, managed by Wyoming Department of Parks and Cultural Resources. The campground sits on a peninsula above the high water line, providing protection from potential flooding while offering direct lake access. Each of the sites includes a picnic table, fire pit, and vault toilet access, with a single water pump serving the area.
The location accommodates RVs up to 160 feet and maintains ADA accessibility across its open terrain. A pavilion positioned at the peninsula's point overlooks Glendo Reservoir, while cell service remains available throughout the campground. Campers can explore additional campgrounds around Glendo Reservoir State Park or visit nearby Sagebrush — Glendo State Park located half a mile west. Book early, as this tends to be the first campground in the park to reach capacity.
Description
Shelter Point is a well-established campground which neighbors the Marina, and has 26 campsites with gravel parking pads. The campground sits on a wide open point which provides stunning views of the reservoir, the dam, and vast night skies. All sites are designed to accommodate large camping units, and are easily accessible by an established gravel road. The campground has very little tree cover, so all sites have little, to no shade. Shelter Point has three, day use group shelters, one of which is available for reservation from May 1 to September 30; the rest are available on a first-come-first-served basis. While the campground itself doesn’t have a boat ramp, the Marina ramp is just next door, and provides easy, close access to the water. On the south side of the campground, there is also a small beach which is nicely sheltered and sandy enough to make it one of the most popular day use beaches on the western side of the reservoir.
