Our Take

What makes Vedauwoo Campground (WY) special

Tucked into the rugged foothills between Laramie and Cheyenne, Vedauwoo Campground is one of Wyoming's most visually striking places to pitch a tent or park an RV. The landscape here is unlike anything else on the high plains -- massive, weather-sculpted granite formations rise from the earth like ancient monuments, creating a playground for rock climbers, photographers, and anyone who appreciates the raw artistry of geology. With 49 campsites spread across the main campground and a dedicated tent area, Vedauwoo offers a range of options for different camping styles. Sites are nestled among ponderosa pine and aspen groves, providing welcome shade and a sense of seclusion even when the campground is busy. The surrounding Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest opens up miles of hiking and mountain biking trails, and the area is known for its world-class crack climbing routes that draw enthusiasts from around the globe. Summer days are warm and bright at this 8,000-foot elevation, while evenings cool off quickly under some of the darkest night skies in the region. Whether you are bouldering among the formations, fishing nearby streams, or simply watching the light shift across the granite towers at sunset, Vedauwoo delivers a camping experience that feels wonderfully otherworldly.
