Description
Glendo State Park is one of southern Wyoming's most popular boating parks. It offers visitors water-skiing, fishing and other water- based activities. Fishing is so good that Glendo has several fish records. Day-use and overnight facilities feature improved campsites, comfort stations, tables and grills. A commercial concession at the reservoir provides visitors with complete marina services, motel units and fishing equipment.
Directions:
Glendo State Park is located off Interstate 25, Exit 111. Take State Route 319 and then State Route 270.

Glendo State Park offers overnight camping in the following Camping Areas:
Red Hills and Waters Point: Camping areas have some shade trees and close access to the lake with a rock and gravel shoreline. There is a protected bay for tying boats. Grounds are not very level, and sites are exposed to the wind. Approximately 45 sites.
Reno Cove: Boat launching area has limited camping area and a few shade trees. Close access to lake with a rock and mud shoreline. There is a protected bay for tying boats. Grounds are not level, and sites are exposed to wind. Approximately 30 sites.
Custer Cove, Soldier Rock and Colter Bay: Camping areas have shade trees and close access to lake with a mud and rock shoreline. The bay is protected for tying boats. Some level sites offer fair protection from the wind. Approximately 40 sites.
Whiskey Gulch and Sagebrush: Large camping areas along the south side of a large bay with good access to the shoreline of mud and gravel. There are shade trees and lots of grass. Level sites with good wind protection and some protected areas for tying boats. Approximately 100 sites.
Two Moon: Our largest and best camping area has many pine trees for shade and wind protection. It's located on a bluff overlooking the lake with no access to the shoreline by foot. Most sites are level with paved roads through the area. Approximately 200 sites.
Sandy Beach:This area is large with many trees above the high waterline. There are approximately two miles of sandy beach for swimming, waterskiing, etc. However, all vehicles, including campers, are no longer allowed on the beach. There are a limited number of reservable campsites. New camping areas were recently built away from the shoreline. No protection for tying boats. Room enough here for hundreds, sometimes crowds in the thousands. This campground was completely renovated between 2005-2007.
Elk Horn: The boat launching area has limited camping spaces with some shade trees. Close access to lake with a mud shoreline. The boat ramp is a short season ramp normally unusable in early July due to receding water levels. Approximately 20 sites.

Better than Glendo
83 % of users found this review helpful
Glendo Cluster cove was nice for the camping. We arrived on Sunday 8-7-11 and the Trash was not dumped til tuesday! The Bathrooms were not clean or restocked with toliet paper til Friday even after speaking with the rangers. Over all camping spots were nice but lake is ruff most of the time and facilites are horrible. Other Wyoming parks are better to attend, Guernsey, Bosin, ect.

ALOT of water
86 % of users found this review helpful
The campground was about half flooded when I stayed, since the area had just come out of 10-15 year drought. The spaces near the water were completely submerged. Fishing was only possible from a boat as the large number of mature trees that were normally on dry land were well into the water at the time. Other then that it was a good stay, bathroom was out of TP for a day or so even though my daughter and I were the only ones in the campground at teh time.
