- We camped for 10 days at Glendo June 10 -20 2021. On the weekend the camp grounds were full mainly with Colorado campers very few Wyoming campers, in our campground we were the only Wyoming people there. During the week we drove around many different campgrounds and checked sites to possibly camp at in the future, we also checked on your site to see if they were reserved. Almost all of the sites showed reserved for days and nobody camping in them, we they did become occupied it was with Colorado and Nebraska campers which is not right at all. If they dont show up what do they lose $4.00 big deal. Your reservation system needs a serve overhaul that allows us Wyoming campers at least a month to book reservations before any out of staters are allowed to reserve spots for days on end and then dont show up until the weekend.
They also dont pay that much more for yearly or camping permits then we as Wyomingnites do. Better yet raise camping fees and do away with reservations altogether and make every site first come first serve. This is Wyomings lake and Wyoming campers should be able to enjoy it all season.
our first big mountain - we live in the east (Kentucky) and big horn was our first mountain we had experienced and scared us . yes we have been to the smokies and w.va. but never in our life such a massive no railing on the side experienceas that mountain . LOL it was awesome and I want to visit again .
Put this on your bucket list! - We did fall hikes and were BLOWN AWAY!! Yes, some trails were so easy there were more people there than I care for but, the views were worth it all!! I could be most happy living the rest of my days in those mountains!
Total Solar Eclipse in awesome park - What a treat to enjoy a total solar eclipse in a place like this. Beautiful flowers, very enjoyable hot springs in the bathhouse, interesting hikes. And the dinosaur museum close by is definitively worth a visit.
- Love the fact that we can take our dogs hiking. Have no problems keeping them on a leash but hiking is the perfect exercise for them and they are family same as kids
best managed park in wy - Just stayed at buffalo bill-had another camper break into car...WOW, what a tight ship that is run here! Camp host greets all campers, and keeps a visual presence in the park-if you desire safety this is your camp. Also, they require you to fill out slip to camp so they have an idea of who is in the park...Buffalo Bill park does a checkmark, with no verification AT ALL of who you are....I WILL BE BACK HERE WHENEVER I CAMP IN WY
Great year round get-away - Always glad to have park ranger stop by for chat. Glendo is close place to get away for few hrs or few days. Kids have great memories of fun Summer camping times & rules were observed! We think it unfair that one vehicle will set up 2 or 3 tents in adjacent campsites to save for friends who come later days for weekend. Rules are there for a reason.
one of the nations best - I have gone to Medicine Bow national Forest pretty much every year since I was six ( 45 now) . I LOVE IT. I go camping in Nash fork Campground, fish in mirror lake and lake marie. I dont go on many trails as I am in a wheelchair and hiking mountain trails is difficult for me. The one thing I dont like which seems to be opposite of most people posting are all the ORVs and ATVs that are being allowed in the park. It is usually very calm and quiet which is why I go there, but when I hear all the racket from the ORVs and ATVs it makes me feel as if I never left the city.Overall I LOVE this place and would recommend it to anyone.
About time - I went to Glendo last year and had nothing but trouble with the people that were out of control . I personally am grateful for the decision to Control this.
Sandy beach camping... - We had a great time at Glendo....love Sandy Beach...we had a problem with rangers kicking us out of what their website said was first come sites...they claimed the signs had been stolen all on one side of the road....? We were almost kicked out for demanding an explanation....we did move and had a great time...except for the long walk to water from our new
site!
