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.

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!

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!

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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