We decided to stay here because it was so hot and we needed AC. The site was very nice and wide and fairly level. There was no staff here when we arrived and we picked up our papers off the board. The showers were being repaired so the sign said to go to the ones near the park. Had no idea where the park was so asked a man an we had to hike down to some Pot-O Let showers. Too much cost for no bath house. WiFi was good.

We were able to book a site the same day, which just so happened to be the 4th of July! The staff were friendly and helpful. The sites were spacious. I read some of the other reviews and I don't think they understood much of the layout of the facility (with the "My heart sank" comments). Yes, there is a storage area next door. Those are the campers that are parked close together. Our site was large enough for our motorhome and our Jeep parked NEXT TO IT... I have no clue why anyone would complain about slides. Folks in these reviews are expecting way too much now-a-days. This is a wonderful spot in Glenrock, WY. You should not have caviar expectations for $45/night folks! We would definitely stay here again!

We did not enjoy our stay at this campground. There is a lot of RV storage and what looks like permanent residents. The camper beside us looked like it was from the 1970 and looked more like an old mobile home.
There were spots down the hill, closer to the river in the grass, with I think only water, that would have been more appealing. The owner was very nice, I spoke to him a few times. The price was right for what we needed the space for, just a sleeping spot. If I was going to spend any time at the campground sitting outside, I would not stay here again.

Excellent spot for vans and small campers. When I pulled in, my heart sank. In the front the class A’s and fifth wheels are packed in on gravel so close together that they can’t even put their sliders out. I’ve been driving too long and needed a place to stay so went inside for more details. Since I am fully self-contained in a 1998 Roadtrek van, she suggested I take one of the tent spots in the back by the river for $15 a night. I am parked about 30 yards from the river and there is nobody around me. The big rigs are crammed in upfront like sardines and I am here with my dog with one of the most beautiful views I’ve had while camping. If you are fully self-contained and don’t need hook ups, I would Suggest taking one of the large tent sites in the back which easily fit a van or a small camper.
With no hook ups, you are still welcome to top off your tanks from any of numerous water stations. They also have showers, Porta potty’s, and an enclosed dog park which Cosmo absolutely loved.
If you are in a class a or a fifth wheel this looks like a horrible place to camp, but if you are self contained in something smaller, you just can’t beat this.

Our neighbors bedroom window was literally less than a foot from ours - we barely had room to put our slide out.
We would have left immediately except we arrived during a tornado warning and had no place we could go
Needless to say, we won’t be back...ever

To be able to take a sleepy river front campground and turn it into a thriving community of 2500 is just down right AMAZING. Jean and Rod did just that for the weekend of the eclipse. We helped out at the registration table and we had so many people stop by to say how well managed the entire event was and that they truly had an awe inspiring weekend.
We chose to get in before the crowds and spent the 1st week exploring the nearby area ... Douglas has some fantastic museums, especially the Pioneer Museum and the WWII POW museum. We also took a private photography tour with Ron Hayes and saw some of the hidden paths through the Black Hills and up on Casper Mountain. So much wildlife!
As for the campground itself, it tended to be a bit dusty, but, hey you are in the high plains! Also, though they have Wifi, most of the time, because there were so many people in the campground, they had to restrict it's usage. They also do not have cable but you can camp right along the Platte River so who needs it! They also have float trips available on the river.
This was the perfect place to view the eclipse and we will definitely be back!

We stayed just a few days before the eclipse. Watching the planning and dedication in preparation for the eclipse was a testament to how well the park is managed.
The sites are gravel/rock and good size for large rigs. There is a dog park plus a large field that leads to the Platte River. While the park location is great, the nearby businesses caused some noise and had a lot of security lights at night. Not ideal for star gazing.
We took the kayak ride down the river, which was a nice trip. The staff was very nice and ready to help if we needed anything.

We worked the kitchen for the weekend of the solar eclipse and although we were exhausted by the end it was a great experience. Rod and Jean run a great campground, were gracious hosts and helped out wherever and whenever they could. It was BUSY!
The campground was easy to access and seemed to be well layed out. As workers for the event weekend we stayed in the front parking lot area which was fine because we were close to the kitchen but far enough away from the eclipse revelers.
There was a bit of a problem with the WiFi but only because 700+ people were trying to use it. We had a great signal with our Verizon plan.
We will definitely stay again if we are in the area again.

The sites are fairly level with full hookups available. It wasn't very busy while we were there and seemed to be primarily long term occupants. The sites were big and had a picnic table. There is a river that flows right behind the campsite, but we didn't go in it since it was flowing pretty quickly. We had cell service and they have wifi, but it was pretty slow so we didn't use it. Pet friendly with a small dog park to let them roam off leash. The town of glenrock is very small, but we had a nice breakfast at the Rock Bottom steakhouse. We recommend it for a stop over since there aren't a lot of sights close by besides Casper which is about 20 minutes away.
