Attractions & Considerations

28 campsites with tables, fire rings, trash pick up, vault toilets.

There is access to rock climbing and a nature trail through the rocks.

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. 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 and Native Americans thought playful spirits piled up the boulders. Some of the tent sites are so secluded, one might feel the "outlaw's spirit." All the tent sites are walk-ins.

Dogs must be leashed in the campground.
