About Vedauwoo Tent Campground (WY)

Federal campground in Wyoming.

Nestled in the rugged beauty of southeastern Wyoming, Vedauwoo Tent Campground offers an extraordinary escape into nature for RV travelers and tent campers seeking authentic outdoor adventure. Located near Laramie, this public campground sits at the gateway to the stunning Vedauwoo Recreation Area, a landscape defined by dramatic granite rock formations, dense coniferous forests, and sweeping high plains vistas that shift with the time of day and changing seasons.

The camping experience here is immersive and genuine. Campsites are set among towering pines and scattered among natural rock outcroppings, creating individual pockets of privacy while maintaining that genuine connection to the wilderness that many RV enthusiasts crave. The elevation and location make this an ideal retreat during the warmer months, offering relief from summer heat while providing crisp, clear nights perfect for stargazing away from light pollution. The campground's proximity to Laramie, Wyoming's vibrant college town, means you're never far from dining, shopping, and cultural attractions when you want them, yet you can return to genuine solitude at your campsite.

Vedauwoo itself is a mecca for outdoor recreation. Rock climbers from across the country flock to test their skills on the incredible granite formations. Hikers of all abilities find trails that range from leisurely walks with interpretive signage to challenging backcountry routes that reward explorers with panoramic views across the Laramie Range and beyond. Mountain bikers discover technical trails that wind through forests and across open ridges. Anglers can explore nearby water sources for fishing opportunities. Photographers find endless subjects in the interplay of light and shadow across the distinctive rock formations.

The area's history runs deep, with Native American heritage woven into the landscape and numerous historical sites within driving distance. The high plains setting offers a genuine sense of solitude and connection to the American West that draws visitors back year after year. Whether you're seeking active outdoor pursuits, peaceful contemplation, or quality time with family in a stunning natural setting, Vedauwoo Tent Campground provides the perfect base for a memorable Rocky Mountain experience.

Fantastic. Really cool campsites from large RV sites to car camping to walk in. Lots of areas to explore and if you like to scramble around on boulders there may be no better place. The roads are paved and the bathrooms were in great condition.

Spectacular. Mother nature is spell-binding. A very nice campground with grills and fabulous views. The spots are spaced out enough to give you some privacy and let you enjoy nature.

Awesome little campground. Be forewarned, there is a little interstate noise, a bit of wind, and some mice. None of them have affected our stay. Amazing scenery, a close hiking 3 mile trail, and beautiful sunsets. Oh, and plenty of places to climb if that's your thing.

The area is neat. Would of given it 5 stars but for some reason people have no boundaries here. Just about everyday people walk through, or ride the bike through our campsite. 🤪 crazy.

This is an absolutely beautiful campground in Eastern Wyoming! It's primitive camping so there's no electricity or plumbing on site but the views are stunning. Every site has a fire ring & picnic table. The registration is kind of confusing since there is nobody on site to help. It's done on the honor system & campground personnel only come out a couple times a week to clean restrooms & pick up re... This is an absolutely beautiful campground in Eastern Wyoming! It's primitive camping so there's no electricity or plumbing on site but the views are stunning. Every site has a fire ring & picnic table. The registration is kind of confusing since there is nobody on site to help. It's done on the honor system & campground personnel only come out a couple times a week to clean restrooms & pick up registrations. Make sure you bring cash to pay for registration since there is no way to use credit or debit cards. This campground is a great place to do some hiking, rock climbing, & scenic photography though. Like I said before, the views are beautiful!
