vedawoo campground

Reservable sites at Vedawoo Campground run $25 per night, and weekends fill quickly, especially heading into midsummer. Weekday arrivals in early June have had better luck securing a spot. The campground sits just off Interstate 80 between Cheyenne and Laramie, and campers in sites on the higher loops, particularly those closest to the highway, report noticeable road noise overnight. Pets are allowed, cell service is available, and campfires are permitted at sites that each include a fire pit, grill, and picnic table.

The terrain here shapes the experience directly. Massive granite outcroppings define the landscape, and as Tom E. notes, "because of all of the rocks and views each of the sites is somewhat unique." Rock climbing draws a consistent crowd, and several trails leave from the area, including a two-plus-mile loop around Turtle Rock that multiple reviewers single out. A moose and calf were spotted near the water on the east end. Hand pumps provide water in each loop, so there is no need to haul large reserves, though no hookups are available.

Vault toilets are kept clean and sites are paved. Wind can be a factor, particularly on exposed upper sites. Big rigs may find the loops tight. Campers staging trips through this corridor can find campgrounds near Buford for additional options in the area. Those wanting a different setup nearby might consider the Vedauwoo Tent Campground in Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest, roughly a third of a mile away.

Cool rock formations

We enjoyed hiking and bouldering. A few spots for trailers but mostly tent sites. A few reservable sites but mostly first come first serve. We didn’t have any trouble finding a great site for our truck camper.

More Than a Stop Off I-80

Because of all of the rocks and views each of the sites is somewhat unique. Great rock climbing. Multiple trails. Hike around turtle rock is really good. Mother moose and calf this am near the water on east end. There is water, hand pumps in each loop. Restrooms are kept clean. Have stopped here multiple times over the years. Kind of tight for big rigs.

Very nice for a camper van or tent

I arrived on a Thursday and was able to get a campsite early June but it looks like weekends are booked up and later in the summer probably will be too. Very nice campground somewhat primitive but fire pits grills and picnic tables at all sites. Lots of very nice hikes the turtle Rock in particular was a very nice two plus mile hike around huge rockout cropping popular Cliff climbing. Reminds me very much of the Black hills in South Dakota

Wonderful

Beautiful campground! Destination worthy. Lots of trails and rock formations. Pristine vault toilets. Paved sites. No hookups. Come to site with full water tanks and empty gray & black tanks. Located just of Interstate 80 between Cheyenne and Laramie.

Beautiful rocky area.

We had a nice time while there. The only downside was the wind on the first day and night. Our site was #10 and it was on the higher side of the campground, so not great for a windy day. The views are beautiful and there is hiking and rock climbing available. Another point to consider is the noise from highway 80 during the night, though some.aitea.on the other loops probably would not have the same issue.
