Soldier Rock Campground

Perched along the rocky shores of Glendo Reservoir, Soldier Rock Campground offers a rugged, primitive camping experience with easy access to water, scenic coves, and natural beauty. This campground, divided into three sections along Lakeshore Drive within Glendo State Park, defies expectations with its secluded coves, partially shaded sites, and excellent opportunities for families to enjoy lakeside gatherings. The terrain is rugged and undeveloped, making it an ideal choice for smaller camping setups or tents, and those with four-wheel drive vehicles will find navigating the narrow access roads much easier.

Typical amenities include picnic tables, fire pits, and a single vault toilet, but the sites do not have gravel pads, and hookups are unavailable, emphasizing its appeal for those seeking an off-grid, closer-to-nature experience. Boating and fishing enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to Glendo Reservoir, renowned for its excellent walleye fishing. Nearby, the park's 45 miles of trails provide ample options for hiking and biking, while the sheltered coves and lake access make for delightful days by the water. Located a short drive from the small town of Glendo, this campground is an excellent base for weekend getaways or extended stays focused on relaxation and outdoor recreation.
