Broken Arrow is the campground situated the farthest to the north on the eastern side of the reservoir. 20 campsites are established around and throughout a large, flat meadow which sits behind a stand of cottonwoods along the lakeshore. A short walk through the cottonwoods will bring you to the water’s edge during high water, though that walk becomes significantly longer as the water level drops into September. Sites 13 and 14 are partially shaded, and all of the other sites in the campground are fairly wide open with little, to no shade. This campground is a popular space for groups hoping to camp together, as it is fairly remote, but with sites that are close enough together to allow groups to camp within walkable distances from each other.
Camping in Wyoming State Parks now open to ALL visitors. From October 1st, 2020 to April 30th, 2021, all campsites at Glendo State Park will be available only on a first-come, first-served basis. Social distancing guidelines are in place.
This park is absolutely beautiful. We will definitely be back after our 3 night stay at Sandy Beach Dune. Our spot was right on the water but since the water level is lower this year the beach activities were further away. Be aware spots near the shore lines have a ton of ants. They do not bite you but are on everything and everywhere. The beach was absolutely clean and the views were incredible.
Always a beautiful experience! Had fun hiking. Even with the water levels down, still enough water to kayak
So much better than just going to Horsetooth where it's constantly crowded and there's never reservations. Very beautiful lake with amazing, clean camping. I'll definitely be back.
We we’re staying not far the park and decided to visit for a short drive around the park. So glad we did. Very beautiful. Really nice camping areas.
Glendo is a beautiful place to stay with lots of different options for camping. We have been going there for 30 plus years. You can stay at Sandy Beach so you are close to the lake or way up on the cliffs at Two Moons so you can take full advantage of the magnificent sunsets. There are many different areas to camp all around the lake. There is also lots of boat ramps to put in at. This changes as the they let water out, but they keep you informed which ones are closed. The lake is large so driving your watercraft around is not much of an issue with people everywhere, although it does get crowded on the weekends and especially the holidays.
There are pit bathrooms located conveniently around the campsites as well as big dumpsters as you are leaving so you can keep your area clean easily. There are fire pits with grills so you can cook, but it seems to me that there has been a constant fire ban for at least the last 5 or 6 years.
My biggest two gripes is that before Sept. 30th you have to have a reservation to stay. Even if the entire campground is empty. No reservation, no stay. We wanted to stay an extra day this last week and even tho the nice lady at the check-in booth said no one would be in the spot we were at for a couple weeks we would either have to call or go on line and make a reservation for the extra night. You used to be able to pull in, find a spot and go back to tell them where you were and pay for your spot. There were a few spots that were reservation only. That was so much nicer and easier.
Also, there are lots of places to plug in if you have a camper or motorhome, but no quiet place if you are just a tent camper. We had 3 campers around us, one left their generator going all day until 10pm which is the quiet time cut off. The others had them off and on throughout the evening. It would be nice to have an area where no generators were allowed so you could actually enjoy the peace and quiet of true camping.
