About:

Glendo State Park offers a great opportunity for wildlife viewing. Mule deer, whitetail deer, antelope, coyotes, turkeys and many bird species are seen regularly at the park.  If you are interested in bird watching we recommend visiting the Wetlands Area.  Many of our trails are great for seeing birds and other wildlife. 

More information:

• Park Headquarters has four backpacks with quality binoculars, books and pamphlets that can be checked out to view wildlife. Please call in advance to make sure someone is available at Park Headquarters to check one out to you. There is no additional fee for this, however donations are welcome.

Bennett Hill is a wide open campground with 44 campsites, and can be most easily accessed from I-25 by turning north on Highway 319 in the town of Glendo, and then turning right onto Lakeshore Drive. Bennett Hill is about a mile down Lakeshore Drive, and will be on the left. The campground is spacious and has plenty of area for you and your family to enjoy the sun and some extraordinary night skies. Most campsites are exposed, with little to no shade, and are situated in a prairie of native grasses. The only exceptions are sites 11 through 20, which are up against a line of cottonwoods. All sites, except for 11 through 20 have large, established, gravel pads for RVs. Sites 11 through 20 are potentially impacted by high water, though trees prevent them from having direct water access. All other sites are a good distance from the water, though many have a decent view of Airport Bay. Sites 3,4, and 6, along with sites 26 through 29 are group sites, which will accommodate up to three camping units. The boat ramp is available seasonally, with the courtesy dock becoming usable in early Spring, and coming out of the water in late July to early August. The day use shelter is reservable from May 1 through September 30.

About:

INCLEMENT WEATHER ACCESS NOTE: The access road to reach Broken Arrow after the Indian Point Ramp is a dirt road, with several sandy areas. Heavy precipitation can quickly make the road impassible, or at least difficult terrain, and as a result, we recommend camping at Broken Arrow only with smaller camping units and 4wheel drive vehicles.

WATER LEVEL NOTE: Due to significant fluctuation in the reservoir’s water level, many campsites may become inaccessible due to flooding in April, May, and June.

Reservations:  Reservations are required in this campground from May 15th through September 15th. 

Amenities: Vault Toilet

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
