Rock formations rise from the grassland along this dispersed camping area, where numbered sites spread along a dirt road that connects two highways through Medicine Bow National Forest. Campers navigate a bumpy but manageable route that requires attention but accommodates most vehicles, though some secondary roads branching off the main path demand higher clearance.
The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis at $20 per night, with permits available at the entrance. Sites feature fire rings and offer varying levels of seclusion, from open spots near the road to more private areas tucked behind rock outcroppings. clinton H. notes the area can be "FULL" on weekend nights, particularly in summer, making early arrival essential for securing a designated spot.
Wildlife encounters add to the camping experience, with reviews mentioning moose, badgers, and cattle that wander through the area. Coyotes provide nighttime soundtrack while visitors should prepare for bear country protocols. The road system allows through-traffic between highways, creating occasional vehicle noise, though campers report finding quiet spots away from the main route.
Vault toilets sit near the entrance, and the campground divides into sections with the first group of sites recommended for larger RVs and the lower area better suited for smaller rigs and tents. Makenzie S. found the area "not too many people" during late May, suggesting shoulder seasons offer more solitude than peak summer weekends.
Several established campgrounds operate nearby, including Vedauwoo and Vedauwoo Campground, for those preferring reservable sites with more amenities. Arrive before dark to navigate the road system safely and scout available sites.
