Glendo State Park
RV Guide

Douglas, WY is the place to be if you are looking to climb the Laramie Peak, walk a section of the Oregon or Mormon Trail, or spot herds of bighorn sheep, elk, mule deer, and pronghorn. Bring your big rigs to the Douglas KOA where they will comfortably fit in full hookup sites of up to 86 feet in length with 50-amp service. Cable TV and free internet let you stay connected during your travels, while the heated outdoor pool, mini-golf, ping pong, basketball, and tennis courts will keep you entertained. An office and well-stocked store, dog park, horse stalls, and propane can be found on-site.

The Cadillac of Glendo State Park RV campgrounds has 200 reservable, pet-friendly level, shaded, and wind-sheltered electric hookup RV sites near the North Platte River Dam. Each campsite has its own picnic table, campfire ring with a grill for cooking, and a nice large cleared space for sitting around the fire. The sites are arrayed along a bluff among pine trees with plenty of shade and privacy. Two Moon offers easy access to the park headquarters and also most of the major hiking trails. Additionally, there are paved roads that link the campsites.

This unique RV campsite features over 170 reservable sites and a day use area for waterskiing and other activities. There are lots of trees not far above the waterline, and a two-mile long sandy beach. Most of the designated campsites have electrical hookups. Who would have thought that RVers could find a beach camping spot in the middle of Wyoming? Sandy Beach is not as remote as some of the others, but you will have lots of privacy here and they are pet friendly. In addition, each site has its own fire ring, picnic table, and enough space to spread out and relax around the campfire.

This campground features approximately 20 pet-friendly electrical hookup sites, only 10 of which are reservable. These lovely campsites with tables, campfire grills, and large parking pads are nestled alongside a small bay with a boat ramp. Reno Cove is quite picturesque but also quite rugged. There is a little shade, but not much, and most of the sites are unlevel. There is an RV dump station nearby where you can dump gray water and several potable water hydrants around the area.

Along the southwestern edge of the reservoir, the Sagebrush Campground boasts 20 spacious and private campsites that can and should be reserved months in advance. All of these sites are located on the water’s edge and have two restrooms as well as several potable water spigots nearby. There is also a large covered pavilion for picnics or BBQing, if you have a crowd larger than you want to have at your campsite. Pets are welcome as long as they are properly restrained and attended at all times during your visit.

One of the nicer and more scenic campsites at Glendo State Park, the 30 reservable sites at Whiskey Gulch are pet-friendly, overlook both the vastness of Glendo Reservoir and the compactness of Whiskey Gulch, and these sites are very popular. You cannot forget the Rocky Mountains, which tower overhead just to the west of the park. There are no hookups, but this campground is within walking distance of park headquarters, many are on the shoreline of the lake, and pretty much all the sites are shaded and level.

If you want to get away from it all in your RV, you cannot do much better than Elk Horn. It is on the opposite end of the lake from the more-developed park areas. So, there is practically no foot traffic. In July, there is no boat traffic either. As lake water recedes, the boat launch becomes a mud launch. Elk Horn has 20 no-hookup RV campsites which are somewhat shady, rather small, and they are all first-come, first-served. You can bring your dog, but they must be properly restrained and attended at all times.

The 40 RV sites in these three camps are first-come, first-served, mostly level, mostly shaded, and mostly protected from the wind. Colter Bay, Custer Cove, and Soldier Rock are also pretty close to the Glendo State Park headquarters. However, the Glendo Reservoir shoreline is a bit muddy and rocky here. Furthermore, there are no electrical or other hookups in any of these camps. All three of these allow pets, but they have to be properly restrained and attended during your visit.

These two pet-friendly primitive campsites have 45 RV parking spots. Both campgrounds offer lake access, a beach, a fire ring, table, and a small boat-tying bay. These spots have no hookups and many of them are not level. These are first-come, first-served so if you want one of these you have to get here early. These campgrounds are also open, unshaded, and windy. All Glendo State Park RV campsites here share a large, two-lane dump station which is conveniently located at park headquarters. During the summer, drinking water is available at this station as well.
