Vedauwoo Campground (WY)

I made a reservation and I tried to move it one day earlier, which should have been free to do per my conversation with the agent at recreation.gov. However, then they said that I needed to cancel the reservation and make a new one because they couldn’t just change it by a day. They said that I just needed to call the site manager to get a refund. I called and left a message but they never called me back. Later I tried to switch sites for the same day, but that was also blocked. They again said that I would need to make a new reservation.

Beautiful location, albeit very windy at times. Close to I-80, but minimal road noise. Dry camping only. A combination of first come first serve and reservable sites. Water source could be improved upon. While there is a camp host, at least while we were there, there is little visibility from forest service personnel. As a result people often stay without paying, which is a shame given the beautiful location.

Beautiful area but can be very windy

Beautiful area. Lots to see and do!

Campground well-laid-out for comfort and privacy. So convenient to rock. We were there in late September - no crowds.

This is a nice park the has no facilities or amenities, you should know that. Don't come here for a resort, you will get your feelings hurt. Laramie is about 15 min away and Cheyenne is just a bit further. The campground is clean and well maintained. Just off I80 and all the roads and sites are paved. Pulling a 34 ft fifth wheel we had no problems navigating the facility, just be careful. There are a few sites that will accommodate bigger travel trailers, look at the driveway length in the description.

We enjoyed hiking and wandering through the rocks. Beautiful views. Small campground with many sites on the edge of the road.

Bring your own water. The water from the pump is identified as 'potable' but it has a brown tinge to it.

Very nice small campground, clean facilities, convenient to the Interstate, beautiful land formation surroundings, perfect for a quick night stopover or a couple of days hiking/climbing in the area.

Vedauwoo Campground is hands down one of the best campgrounds we’ve ever stayed at. It feels like a hidden gem tucked away in the most breathtaking setting—towering granite formations, wide-open skies, and peaceful surroundings that make you feel like you’ve stumbled on something truly special.

The campground itself is very clean and well-kept, with plenty of space and a sense of quiet serenity that’s hard to find these days. Our dog had the time of his life exploring the trails and rocks, and it was such a relief to have a spot that felt both pet-friendly and safe.

We loved every minute here. Between the incredible scenery, the fresh mountain air, and the overall peaceful vibe, Vedauwoo is more than just a place to camp—it’s a destination in its own right. If you’re lucky enough to snag a spot, don’t pass it up. We can’t wait to come back!
