Glendo State Park

Went here to watch the eclipse and stayed for four nights. The water level is quite low, but there is still plenty of water for sport and boating. Some of the campsites are more private than others so plan ahead and reserve a good space. There were cottonwoods shading the border of the lake which helped keep the heat down. Water and outhouses are easily accessible and plentiful, but the RV dump does get backed up if a lot of people are trying to leave.

Found this place on the google totality eclipse map and made my way here for the day. Amazing locale and well-maintained facilities. I was on the east side of the reservoir. Not too crowded - nice, remote camping spots. It's a little off the beaten path, but well worth the trek (both there and back - apologies again to the rancher and family whose driveway I accidentally drove through on my way home. Google maps may think there are roads in and out of the park that aren't in fact there - and "Private Road" actually means private…) I think I would've given this place a 5-star rating even if there hadn't been an eclipse! 1201.6

I don't know how these guys managed to make it through August 21st, 2017, but they did it! Thousands of people (including my group) travelled North for the eclipse. The park is very beautiful, with the lake being a prime spot for boating!
