Well maintained beautiful campground. Wish we had a site that got our vehicle off the road, but will take that knowledge for the next time we choose a site.

This is a great place to get away from the crowds with great hiking and for those who are rock climbers there look to be some great places to use your skills. At 77 I am best suited to staying on the trails.

Great campsite! We also had cell service (T-mobile and Verizon) which was awesome! Campsite was clean and easy to set up our pop up camper.

Absolutely beautiful views. Campsite had everything we needed and was close to multiple trails. The weather was not ideal for most of the trip but we still had a great time because of the location

Campsite was well maintained. We were in site 10, had a tree for a bit of shade. The Turtle Mtn. loop is easily reached.
We also rode our bikes a few miles out toward Happy Jack Road. Camping areas were fairly busy but the traffic seemed to mostly be at the climbing areas so wasn't an issue further along our route.

Beautiful and peaceful campground with lots of great little hikes nearby. The pump water was very bad though, had visible chunks of what looked like metal floating in it and tasted very metallic. Would bring own water next time. Loved our visit though!

Wonderful campground, very nicely kept. It is close to I-80 but the noise didn't both us. We loved the trails and just exploring the rock formations!

Love this place, Vedauwoo is always a stopping point for us on our way West. Whether that's for a night or a week it never disappoints. The rock formations are out of this world and the trails around them are pretty nice as well.

We chose this campground because it said there would be potable water. There was none.
