What campers say
Glen Elder State Park features a large, well‑kept lake and peaceful camping with options from primitive tent sites to self‑service cabins. Visitors praise scenic views, boating, fishing and occasional hosted events; some reports describe staff as accommodating. Practical tradeoffs include limited playgrounds and some swimming restrictions, and multiple guests noted inconsistent cleanliness and unreliable hot water or occasional bathroom closures in certain facilities. Some rentals enforce strict no‑pet rules, and on‑site maps/payment kiosks can be confusing. A vehicle permit is required. Overall, a good spot for solitude and outdoor access if you’re prepared for occasional maintenance or amenity limitations.
