Sites 2-11 have electric (first loop as you drive in). Self-pay near the entrance was very easy. We were one of 3 campsites filled at this campground mid-October.
Would definitely stay again!

Have a nice view of the lake but very windy. The road coming in was gravel for 2+ miles. Wish I would have known that they maybe could have put that on the website.

Arrived at the state park gate and checked in with no issues. However, getting to Reno Cove Campground (CG) was a little confusing. The very nice lady at the gate was pretty sure you took the first left past the gate, which was correct. We were glad we had filled our fresh water tank before leaving our last stop (only had a little over an hours drive as we do not travel with a full tank on long drives) as there was no water spigot in the top portion of Reno Cove. We were in RC-11, which is a large, wide back-in with 50/30/20AMP electric. We were told at check in that if we didn’t like our site, we could go look at Two Moon CG. Glad we didn’t because Two Moon CG has several entrances and is large with 87 sites, most of which are primitive. The electric sites are stretched around the playground area. I would not suggest traveling around Two Moon with a large 5th wheel as there are pine trees overhanging and narrow roads that would have scraped the heck out of our 39’ 5th Wheel. You’d be fine with a smaller travel trailer but be sure to check site lengths and reviews on what type of trailers have been in a particular sites. Two Moon does have potable water spigots near each of the entrances. The rest of the CGs are primitive and we did not take the time to explore them all but they do have various sized sites, for example Shelter Point has big-rig friendly sites, but no electric. The challenge for some of the smaller ones are the rough gravel roads in. The Glendo State Park website under 'Campgrounds' gives a pretty good rundown on sites and which ones are electric. There was no shade at any of the Reno Cove sites but really good views of the landscape and reservoir in our site plus sites 7-10. We did not get any OTA channels nor is there WiFi in this CG. We got 4 bars on Verizon. The dumpsters for the Reno Cove area are down by the boat launch. The nearest potable water is straight past the main park entrance a couple of miles away just past the Marina across from the State Park Headquarters at the dump station. There was a fire ban while we were here but the fire pits we saw were pretty full of garbage. We would have better enjoyed the clear dark skies if the trailer across from us wasn’t lit up like a Christmas tree from dusk until literally dawn. That’s not the park’s fault, just more and more rude campers out there these days. You could also hear the trains from Glendo, but the sounds were not overwhelming.

This is expensive for electric only state park camping. The place was empty and quiet. Reno Cove is not near the water. You can see a sliver of it from site 8 and a few others. The water is very low. The sunrise was beautiful right out our door. I spent 30 minutes picking up dog poop and trash from our site and several nearby. There are NO trash bins or dog poop bags/bins anywhere. We had to drive 2-3 miles back to the check in booth for a dumpster. We saw no staff anywhere. AT&T service worked. The area is nice but I have to say we were a little underwhelmed for our first Wyoming state park.

Be prepared to pay the day fee+night fee+electical fee if you select a electric only site. Non-residential fee was $12+18+10. We selected Reno Cove which is one of the campgrounds with the electrical option. Sites are level, nicely spaced apart and big rig friendly. We had our choice of sites to choose from since the campground was empty. We took the only pull-thru with a spectacular view. Woke up one morning and our 5th wheel was surrounded by mule deer! We also saw wild turkeys and brilliant colored blue birds. Be prepared if you come here during April for extreme weather changes. One day 72 and sunny, the next day we had an inch of snow and 27 degrees! We loved our stay here and would definitely be back!

Electric only site with table and fire pit. Had to call a number posted at campground to secure site. Does not honor Nat’l Parks Lifetime SR Pass. Was more expensive because we don’t live here. No wonder I boondock most of the time.

Just had our first camping trip at Glendo a state Park in the Reno Cove Group site. We originally thought Reno Cove was closer to the water but it was a short drive to the boat drop and a little hidden beach. The park itself was beautiful and wasn’t restrictive.

We originally thought Reno Cove was closer to the water but it was a short drive to the boat drop and a little hidden beach. The park itself was beautiful and wasn’t restrictive. We only saw a ranger once during our 4 day stay. Sandy Beach was amazing! Great for families and pets alike. Only downside was that this weekend was unseasonably cooler and super windy! Nothing anyone could do about it but will definitely go back!

We checked in on a Thursday & basically had the campground to ourselves. By Friday evening the place was full. 17 dollars a night for a site with electric and an incredible view made for a nice long weekend. We stayed in Reno Cove which is not protected against the wind, which blew the whole time. We couldn’t put up the awning but we managed to work our way around the camper to keep shielded. We drive around the park & there are many great places to camp. There were no bathrooms or trash bins at Reno Cove campground but there was both at the marina. We will definitely come back and stay in The only pull thru site which has the best views of them all. I think it’s site 8.
