Rudd Park Rangers - Went boating and camping with family, my brother and dad showed up unexpectantly, the park ranger gave us 40 min to move or recieve fine, even though we had two tables and fire rings. Lake was full and ranger would not help locate another spot, we ended up leaving. Heard storiess of rudd rangers but first time I experianced it. Bad weekend. Would not recommend Glendo to anyone.

Camping @ Glendo - My family has been camping at Glendo for over 20 years. In this amount of time there has been a lot of changes, some good alot bad. We usually stay for 2 weeks. There is approximatley around 10-15 of us at any given time we do not stay up late or play loud music we just want to camp together and have a good time. The Park Rangers are rude and harasse the people in camp and change the rule to fit there moods. Last year we had to pick up camp and move our camper back 10 feet to be closer to a fire ring. Having designated spots with fire rings and tables has become a real sore spot. We use to camp at Bennett hill next to the water and never had any problems, we never even saw a Park Ranger, as of last year you are no longer allowed to camp along the water. Please wake up before you lose all Wyoming campers.

Absolutely Beautiful - What a wonderful place. We visited for the first time last week and was amazed with the beauty and how well kept the park was. The rules were clearly given at the check-in booth and they are reasonable and maybe even more casual than other places in the region. We were visited by Rangers but they were pleasant and just checking that our large group was aware of dog leash rules. I understand that they are tougher the closer you get to Sandy Beach but we camped and boated on the other side. This is a perfect spot for a family camping/boating trip. I will definitely be back.

Beautiful paradise - It sounds like from the reviews the only people dissatisfied with the new rules are enormous groups of 15 to 20 or more. It has been my experience those large parties are the ones who play loud music and keep the rest of us awake at night. So maybe the rules are not all bad for everyone else. I do miss being able to camp anywhere though. Not everybody needs or wants a designtated spot with a table and fire ring. Experienced campers know how to dig a fire pit and pack out their own trash and bring their own water. How about stiff fines for garbage and noise violations instead of preventing everybody from camping as nature intended? It would relieve congestion. Nobody wants to get away from it all and then camp in a small city in an industrialized campground.

Glendo - We love it down at Glendo and have no problems abiding by the rules & regulations. Thos that have a problem with them should maybe consider going somewhere else. As for us, we will gladly keep going there.

Rules are Unreal - I have been going to Glendo for over 20 years and the rules are so out of control I will never go back. I will be spending my money in Colorado. I totaly agree with other three people about the rules and it will never be the same!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

most favorite park - My family always go to Medicane Bow National Forest every summer for 4th of July. We always enjoy the buetiful nature of it and every time we go its a new adventure like last year the road broke from the river. Everything thing that we see and experiance is a big part that I love and will never forget. Also I love the town Cenntenial. Its a great fun town for fireworks. Barber lake is a lot of fun. Also our dogs love going there cause there is new things to experiance for them. In conclusion, I love Medicane National Forest and its an honor to be able to go every year.

Will Never Be The Same - I have been going to this lake many times a year for the last 20 years and I am sad to say that I will not be going back. I realize some rules needed to be made because of how crazy Sandy Beach has gotten and how high the water is but this is rediculous. I am fine with designated camping but our group of 20 plus people can no longer camp together or even sit around a camp fire together because of the 10 person rule and trust me the rules are fully enforced by the rangers. This once magical place has changed for the worst and will never be the same. We too are looking for a new lake to take our fun and money to which is sad to say considering how truly wonderfull both the lake and town used to be.

6/16/2011 Glendo State Park

Unreal Rules - Have been going to Glendo anywhere from 8-10 times per year. Spend many dollars at Rosters and other establishments while camping and fishing. Early in May with hardly any visitors we camped in the same spot we have camped many times, just after getting set up a Park Ranger approached and made us move across the cove where a table and fire pit were established. Went back to same spot for memorial day and within 12 hours had 3 visits from park rangers who said we had to move one of our campers because of the 1 camp per spot (the year before we had 8 campers with plenty of room). Glendo is losing revenue due to the restrictions placed on camping. Many great spots have been eliminated with not much thought. While out night fishing had ranger come in and write unattended vehicle.

Rules are ruining the experience - Me and a large group of friends have been going to Glendo State Park and camping together for every Memorial day weekend for the past 12 years. Virtually all of the group members are originally Wyoming residents...however, some have relocated to Colorado for better paying jobs. This year was the very first year that we were informed by the State Park Rangers that we could not longer camp together as we have in the past. They have a bunch of new rules now. 1) You can no longer camp anywhere around the lake...it now have to be a designated spot with firepit and table. 2) You can only have 10 people around any campfile. I know....really?? 3) You can only have 2 tents at an designated camp spot. 4) Only 2 vehicles are allowed per campspot. All these new rules have really turned us off to Glendo. Not only is the State Park going to lose the revenue from my large group but as is the small, local business in the town of Glendo. If the goal of these new regulations were to drive folks to other locations....great job Glendo State Park...you have succeeded. We are already researching a new lake for us next year.

Memories are made here! - This will be our 14th year. The kids love it, Sandy Beach is an excellent place to camp and the water is excellent. Newcomers beware of the sudden winds that do come up. Make sure your tent is well staked. Short of that, enjoy and start your own family memories.

7/15/2009 Medicine Bow National Forest by Larry Mullison

Medicine bow, Mirror lake picnic/sugarlo - why does the forest service spend two summers making needed repairs and upgrades to Mirror lake picnic area/ sugarloaf picnic and camping area and then on July 4, 2009 the road to these two area are still drifted shut and a car or truck cannot drive in. They are access to many hiking areas, beautiful areas for a picnic or camping. Many people use them . This is a bit late this year but it is the same each year. No one, not the state road department or the forest service or a private contractor grades the drifts out of thse roads. I think it is extreemly poor management and judgement on whom ever manages these parks.

2/25/2009 Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area by Burton Ernie

Fishing, Boating, Camping, Wildlife - Flaming Gorge has it all. From the senic headwaters of the Green River that Powell discovered through the beautiful Firehole area,the camera gets used a lot. Fishing is great for large pan sized rainbow trout. Lakers go over 50 pounds from your boat which is handy on the 95 mile long gorge. Camping is everywhere. Lots of deer, elk,and wild horses if you take the time to slow down and look for them. The drive around the gorge and stop for the dam tour should take all day if you do it correctly which is the way I did and recommend to others. The stay in Rock Springs was rewarding. There is much there to do as well.

My Best Memories - I have a cabin here that has been in my family for three generations. I have traveled so many trails here, rode dirt bikes, ATVs and GoKarts in places that we probably shouldnt have and created some of the best memories here. I trust that you will love it here as much as I do...it is a place that you surely dont want to miss. Not to mention, Saratoga is only 40 minutes away! :)

My Work on Glendo Dam - In 1949 while working in the field for BOR out of Mills Wyoming on their 110KV transmission lines,I was called back into the office and sat there for about three weeks acting as a computer using hand calculators to do part of the cost benefit study to get the approval for the Dam.We started about 50 years back and estimated the amount of water that would be retained and discharged for flood control, irrigation use and minimal discharge to retain life in the stream and evaporation losses. First without electric generation and then with electric generation. I left to go back East to work for Bureau of Standards afterwards.Glad to see that they built it.

Our family lake - My parents have gone to this lake since they were kids. Riding in our boat at glendo, and sleeping on the sandy beaches is one of my earliest memorys. This is by far the best lake i have ever been to. great boating, beautiful waters, and nice camping. I do wish they still had camping on sandy beaches though.

5/3/2008 Glendo State Park by Brian and Toto Smith

A very good sailing lake. - This a great lake for sailing, we have been sailing here for well over 20 years, It is everything from zero wind to three reefs in the main and a small jib. We anchor in small coves overnight. It is a pity the water goes down so fast after July 4th. Sandy beach is great for playing on, our grandkids love it. Camping there is good.
