Sitting at over 8,000 feet in Medicine Bow National Forest, Vedawoo Dispersed Sunset Camp puts campers among granite rock formations and aspen groves along the high plains edge of southeastern Wyoming. The elevation keeps temperatures noticeably cooler than the surrounding lowlands, running roughly 10 degrees below Cheyenne in midsummer. Sites are spacious. Each one has room to spread out, with fire rings in place, though no water, restrooms, or other facilities are provided.
Access requires a capable vehicle. One reviewer with four-wheel drive found the road manageable, but the terrain is uneven and sites themselves are not level, which can be a factor for larger rigs. A 33-foot fifth wheel had no workable options on a Friday afternoon when dispersed spots were already claimed, pointing to real capacity limits on summer weekends. Nearby alternatives include Medicine Bow NF Dispersed off FS 700R and Medicine Bow NF Dispersed near The Citadel Crag for campers who arrive to find this area full.
Wildlife sightings here have included deer and chipmunks, and the rock formations draw visitors specifically for the evening light. "Beautiful place to see the sunset," notes Jill M. The camp is free and pets are allowed, but plan to arrive with all water and supplies already on hand. Arriving Thursday or early Friday gives the best chance at securing a site before weekend crowds fill the area.
