Great Camp Sites with Fire Pits

The washboard road coming off the highway is harsh but it smooths out when you get closer to camp. There are at least three camp site I saw that are all secluded by boulders and trees. Each one has established fire sites. Others have chopped trees and branches from the nearby trees, but I'm not sure if that is accepted.

On a Sunday night, a group of younger people were drinking and enjoying a fire. They weren't too loud and packed up and left before it got too late. It looked like it gets pretty popular so I'd get there early if you're planning to go on a weekend.

You'll hear distant gunshots from hunters in case you or others in your party are sensitive to that. There were also plenty of gnats in early October!

Could be better …

Absolutely love this area of the Medicine Bow NF. Road in was manageable. Spacious dispersed sites. Most have fire pits. Lovely weather in June. Not as windy as the pilot hill rd or vedauwoo dispersed sites. Plenty of shade and hiking opportunities. Quiet throughout the week. Lots of vacant RVs. It appears that the locals leave their rigs and the forest service doesn’t enforce the 16 day limit. The same people will also ride their ATVs in your site. T-mobile signal is decent enough to code and to study. Lots of cows roaming around.

Easy spot

Was very easy to find a spot on a busy Saturday. Just pull out onto one of the dirt roads and there are fire pits. Real dispersed camping.

Great access to climbing, very basic camping

We found a set of campsites in the "Upper Blaire" climbing area.

**How to get there from US-30 **

  • *Refer map provided in campground website link

  • Approaching from the south: Take exit 329 for Vedauwoo Rd --> Turn left onto Vedauwoo Glen Rd --> Turn right onto Old US Hwy 30 E --> Drive 2.7 miles --> Turn right onto Blair-Wallis Rd / Forest Rd 705 --> Drive 3 miles --> Sharp right on Forest Rd 707 --> Drive 0.7 miles --> Turn right onto Forest Rd 707A then a few hundred feet turn right again onto Forest Rd 707AF --> drive to the end of the road a few hundred feet more and park.

  • **Approaching from the north: **Take exit 323 for WY-210 toward Happy Jack Rd --> Turn left onto WY-210 E / Happy Jack Rd then shortly thereafter turn left again to stay on WY-210 E --> Drive for 6 miles --> Turn right onto Headquarters Rd / Forest Rd 707 --> In 0.3 miles turn right to stay on 707 --> drive 2.7 mi --> Turn  left onto Forest Rd 707A --> Turn right in a few hundred feet onto Forest Rd 707AF--> drive to the end of the road a few hundred feet more and park.

These sites are primitive and have a nice secluded feeling. You cannot see or hear the highway from here. There was spotty cell service (we have T-mobile). There are no facilities here, but if you would like to access picnic tables or a vault toilet, the Blair Picnic Area is not far away:  https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/mbr/recarea/?recid=22894. Make sure to pack plenty of water, you can fill up at the Abraham Lincoln Memorial rest area.

If you want to do some rock climbing in the area, these sites are very convenient. 

Some words of caution: 

  • there are cows roaming free in this area. You might find them blocking the road or next to your tent when you wake up (!) 
  • a lot of broken glass at the sites near the parking area
  • there are many fell trees in the area, and it was very gusty when we were there, so make sure to check weather in advance to avoid strong winds that might bring trees down

What activities can I do around Blair-Wallis dispersed camping area?

The Upper Blaire area offers excellent climbing opportunities with numerous boulder formations throughout the area. Hiking is popular with plenty of trails accessible directly from the campsites. The surrounding Medicine Bow National Forest provides scenic vistas, wildlife viewing, photography, and nature exploration.

The area is also suitable for mountain biking and stargazing due to minimal light pollution.

Where is Blair-Wallis dispersed camping area located near Laramie, WY?

Upper Blaire Dispersed Camping is located in the Medicine Bow National Forest near Laramie, Wyoming. To access from US-30, take exit 329 for Vedauwoo Road, then turn left onto Vedauwoo Glen Road, and right onto Old US Highway 30. The camping area is situated in the Upper Blaire climbing area, with sites dispersed among boulder formations and trees. It's more secluded and less windy than nearby Pilot Hill Road or Vedauwoo dispersed sites. Each site offers privacy, being naturally separated by rock formations and forest.

Do I need a 4WD vehicle to access Blair-Wallis dispersed camping area?

While 4WD is not strictly necessary to reach Upper Blaire Dispersed Camping, be prepared for washboard conditions on the road from the highway. The road does smooth out closer to the campsites, but high-clearance vehicles will have an easier time navigating the terrain. Standard passenger vehicles can make it during dry conditions, but may struggle after rain or in early spring when the ground is soft. Consider your vehicle's capabilities and the current weather conditions before attempting access.

What are the rules and regulations for dispersed camping near Laramie, WY?

Standard Medicine Bow National Forest dispersed camping rules apply: camp only in established sites (look for existing fire rings), stay for a maximum of 14 days within a 30-day period, and practice Leave No Trace principles. Campfires are permitted in established fire rings when no fire bans are in effect. Pack out all trash and waste. Keep vehicles on designated roads and campsites to minimize impact. Typically, no permits or fees are required for dispersed camping in this area. Always check with the local Forest Service office for current regulations and fire restrictions before your trip.
