March 6 Love Dogwood Lake by Matt Benge

A great place to camp. Have been 10 yaers in a row. Great fishing and a nice park!

May 15 Over 20 Years Camping Here by Kathy J

I have camped at Glendale almost every year for the past 20 years. It is clean, nice shade trees, and large lots. It is designed for outdoors people. It can get really busy on the weekends so get here early! I love it because it is quiet, affordable and perfect for a week or weekend!

April 1 wonderful place to be

I have a question me and a friend was in glendale the other nite and i have never seen as many crawldads in my life can some one tell me why?

Glendale is a Fish and Wildlife area, mostly made up of Hunters, Trappers, Wildlife Watchers and Fishermen. It is not a typical campground. My excellent rating is based on what the area is designated for. Keep this in mind and you will fall in love with the area. Not many places like it.

Beautiful area

July 5 relaxing

had a severe problem with campsite #8 on 7-3-08 after the rain - our campsite was completely flooded and the water was still standing on 7-5-08 when we left - it was from what we could tell the only campsite that had standing water on it. Something really should be done with that site for future campers. Also - my husband almost resist showering when we are there because there is no privacy in the showers for the men. Some men like their privacy as well. Please consider putting shower curtains up for men.
