About

USDA Forest Service

Please check website for actual open/close dates. It is weather dependent.

The campground is composed of two loops, winding around the boulders, slabs and cliffs of the Vedauwoo rock formation which comprises 10 square miles of weathered Sherman granite. There are 28 campsites with tables, fire rings, trash pick up and vault toilets. This area is constructed to blend in with the natural beauty of the surroundings. The vegetation is a variety of Limber pine, Engleman spruce, Douglas fir and Aspen. The general area was once used as a hideout for outlaws. Native Americans thought playful spirits piled up the boulders. All the tent sites are walk-ins and some of them are so secluded, one might feel the "outlaw's spirit." There is access to rock climbing and a nature trail through the rocks. It is located in the Pole Mountain area and is managed by the Laramie Ranger District.

Amazing views of surrounding rock formations

Got here after 11pm on a Wednesday night and found only 1 free spot. The place was packed. The sites we saw were fairly spread out. Awesome rock formations all around with trails throughout the area. We were there for only one night, but wish we could have stayed longer to explore.

great boondocking site

Beautiful campsite. Have had a hard time securing a site during peak season. Was able to find many sites available in late September. Enjoyed hiking and biking.
