Shelter Point Campground
Overview
Overview
Situated near the waters of its namesake reservoir, Shelter Point Campground in Glendo, Wyoming offers travelers a scenic basecamp for exploring the high plains of the Cowboy State. This destination caters directly to road-trippers and outdoor enthusiasts seeking open skies, striking geological formations, and immediate access to one of the region's premier aquatic recreation spots along the North Platte River drainage.
Location & Surroundings
Reaching this part of southeastern Wyoming typically involves traveling via Interstate 25 or US Highway 187, traversing a landscape defined by rolling sagebrush hills, sandstone bluffs, and wide horizons. The local climate features warm, sunny summers and crisp evenings, making it essential for campers to prepare for shifting weather patterns common to the Great Plains and foothills of the Laramie Range.
Amenities & Park Features
Because specific on-site infrastructure details such as exact hookup configurations, site dimensions, and water availability are not universally documented, visitors should contact park management directly prior to arrival. When planning your stay, be sure to inquire about utility connections, pull-through versus back-in site access, generator policies, and any seasonal operating schedules that may apply to campground facilities.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The surrounding area is a haven for outdoor recreation, anchored primarily by Glendo State Park. Visitors frequently spend their days boating, fishing for walleye and yellow perch, or hiking the network of multi-use trails that wind along the shoreline. Additionally, travelers can take a short drive south to explore local history in nearby Douglas or continue toward the dramatic peaks of the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forests.
Who This Park Is Best For
This location suits boating enthusiasts, anglers, and RV travelers looking to disconnect and immerse themselves in Wyoming's rugged landscape. It works well for road-trippers breaking up a journey along the I-25 corridor, as well as families seeking a weekend of water sports, stargazing, and traditional tent and RV camping experiences.
Reviews
Dave Rumsey
Wish there were more trees for shade & shelter but great views of the Reservoir. This is a great State Park.
John Lewis
A little hard to get down to the water. But oh man what a beautiful sight. The views are incredible.
Devin Dotson
Great spots. No electric but we knew that when we booked. Great view of the lake from the spot we had
Ryan Ruta
Large camp sites that are reasonably spaced out, but not much shade! The views of the lake are great. No toilets or drinking water in this area. Pretty much just paying for a site with a picnic table and fire ring.
Jeff Davis
A beautiful campground, this is higher above the reservoir with a beautiful view.
