If you're looking for something a little different from your average RV camping experience, then our yurts might just be for you! Our yurts are large, round, circular tents which surround a permanent frame and are set on a permanent base. We have three total that are all availble for reservation. Yurts 2 and 3 both have a cement sidewalk access from an ADA accessible parking pad along with a cement pad which has a picnic table and fire pit. Yurt 1 has a wooden porch, and its table and firepit are situated on the gravel behind the structure. Each yurt is equipped with a full-sized bunk bed, one twin bed, and another twin rollaway bed. The park does not provide bedding, so please bring your own to suit the season. You will also find a dining table with seating for six, a skylight with a ceiling fan, two windows which help for summer ventilation, and a combination electrical heater/AC unit. Please be advised that the heater is designed to provide 20-25 degrees of temperature difference.

Our yurts provide an excellent opportunity for you to bring your family to Glendo, at almost any time of year! Situated in the woods on the back side of Two Moon Campground, they are mere steps from the scenic Two Moon trailhead, and are nicely sheltered from wind and the elements. During the summer, a yurt will provide you with a well-venitlated and air-conditioned space to beat the summer heat. During the spring and fall, you will find an insulated shelter which will help take the bite out of chilly days and nights.

To access Sagebrush Campground from I-25, make your way through town to Glendo Park Road, and turn south towards the main fee booth. The first turnoff for the campground will be on the left-hand side of Glendo Park Road, and will also take you to the Whiskey Gulch Boat Ramp. The first sites in Sagebrush Campground which you will encounter this way are sites 20-18.. Sagebrush is a low-lying campground which is spread out over a ¼ mile of the southern lakeshore, and connects with Shelter Point and Whiskey Gulch campgrounds.  Sagebrush has 20 developed sites, which are located in 4 separate areas. The first area consists of sites 1 and 2, which are large pull-through sites, with little to no shade and excellent walking access to the beach. Sites 3 through 9 make up the next area, along with one vault toilet. The sites here are mostly back-ins with partial shade. Site three has an ADA compliant, cement pad, and is also fairly exposed. Site 9 is a group site, which will accommodate up to 3 camping units, and it has moderate tree cover. The next area consists of sites 10 through 17, one water hydrant, and one vault toilet. These sites have established gravel parking pads, and are fairly close together, making this an ideal spot for groups who are looking to camp close to each other. Most of the sites have little to no shade, though sites 15 – 17 are partially shaded. The last area consists of sites 18 through 20. Site 18 is a group site, which will accommodate three camping units. Sites 19 and 20 are individual sites with partial shade and pull-through access. Sites 3 and 20 have an ADA compliant, cement pad.

To access Reno Cove from the I-25 exit, make your way through town to Glendo Park Road, and turn south towards the main fee booth. Just after the Main Fee Booth, turn left onto Lakeshore Drive, and follow Lakeshore Drive for about 3 miles; the campground will be on your right. Reno Cove follows a hillside which slopes towards the lake, and culminates in a long, low water boat ramp at the end. It is largely situated in a stand of small ponderosa pine trees, and is a campground with 22 campsites, spread over three separate areas, each of which has a nearby vault toilet. Sites 1 through 11 are all large sites with well-established camping pads, and electrical hookups. These sites will accommodate large rigs, and for the most part have little to no shade. Sites 9, 10, and 11 are partially shaded. All but one of the other campsites in Reno are undeveloped, with varying degrees of rougher terrain. Sites 2 and 18 have large, cement ADA compliant parking pad, although the access road to 18 is undeveloped. The other sites are better suited to smaller camping rigs and/or tent camping. Reno Cove has one water hydrant, which is located on the western side of the high water boat ramp parking lot. The campground also has two boat ramps: one for high water, and one for low water. This makes Reno one of two boat ramps which are reliably available year round.

SEASONAL NOTE: While access to the area is open year-round, the Sandy Beach Fee Booth is only open seasonally. Normal operating season is Memorial Day through Labor Day.

WATER LEVEL NOTE: Due to significant, seasonal shifts in the reservoir’s water level, sites closer to the water in both Dune and Willow Campgrounds may become inaccessible in April, May and/or June, due to flooding. In July and August, water access moves farther and farther away from the campgrounds as the water level recedes. It is not uncommon to have a ¼ mile of beach between the campgrounds and the water in August.

Amenities:  Electric (at select sites), Drinking Water, Vault Toilets (7), Group Campsites, Day Use Group Shelters, Fee Booth and Canister, ADA accessible camping pads (7)

Sandy Beach is a large, white-sand beach on the eastern side of the reservoir. The beach provides a spectacular view of the reservoir, and Laramie Peak to the west. The wide open sand and gradually sloping shoreline give plentiful opportunities for swimming and water recreation, which makes Sandy Beach one of our park’s most popular summer destinations.  Campsites at Sandy Beach are divided into two campgrounds: Sandy Beach Dune and Sandy Beach Willow. There is a fee booth at the entrance to these campgrounds as well. To access Sandy Beach, follow the standard directions to access the Glendo State Park Main Fee Booth. However, once you are headed south on Glendo Park Road, follow it past the main fee booth and over the dam. After you have crossed the dam, stay on Glendo Park Road for another 8.5 miles, until you see the large sign for Sandy Beach. Turn left, following the signage until you see the Sandy Beach fee booth; go through the booth entrance to access either Dune or Willow Campgrounds.

Dune

ACCESS NOTE: sites 1423 through 1456 are fully on a sand dune. As such, we recommend that only guests with smaller camping units and 4wheel drive attempt to access these sites.

Dune Campground consists of the southern portion of Sandy Beach, and can be accessed by turning left as you enter the campground through the fee booth. The campground itself is situated half underneath the canopy of a large cottonwood grove which lines the lake shore, and half outside of that grove, slightly further from the lake. All sites except 1466 and 1467 are within a reasonably walkable distance of the beach, though there is plentiful day use parking close to the beach, if you prefer to drive from your site. Dune has 67 campsites, which vary in level of development. Sites 1-19, 1457, and 1458 are electrical sites, all with established camping pads and very little shade. Sites 1420, 1459, 1460, 1461 and 1464 through 1467 are group rings. All group rings, EXCEPTING site 1459 are equipped with electrical hookups for three camping units. Sites 1426-1427, 1435 – 1437, and 1440-1451 are TENT ONLY sites. Sites 1421 through 1458 are down on the sand, and largely have at least partial shade. The Dune Shelter is a large group shelter on the south end of the campground, which is available for reservation. There are also three smaller shelters nearby which are available on a first-come-first-served basis. There is access to the mountain bike trails near Dune Shelter.

Willow

CAMPSITES 1522-1570 ARE AVAILABLE FOR CAMPING ONLY ON A FIRST-COME-FIRST-SERVED BASIS. CAMPING IS ALLOWED AT DESIGNATED SITES ONLY.

ACCESS NOTE: sites 1522 through 1570 are situated in deep sand. As such, we recommend that only guests with smaller camping units and 4wheel drive vehicles attempt to access these sites.

Willow campground comprises the northern portion of Sandy Beach, and is accessed by turning right as you enter the campground through the fee booth. The campsites are essentially divided into two areas: sites 1501 – 1521 have established camping pads, and are primarily back-in sites, which nestle up against a cottonwood grove. Sites 1522 through 1570 are all down in the trees and on the sand, with varying amounts of shade. Sites 1523-1527, and 1565-1570 are TENT ONLY. The Willow Shelter is a large group shelter on the north side of the campground, which is available for reservation.
