These sites welcome all types of RVs and tent campers. Designated group campsites are available for parties over eight people. Much like the campground, Vedauwoo designated dispersed sites offer easy access to the various trails and other recreation opportunities throughout the Pole Mountain area.
AMENITIES: Each designated dispersed site has 1 picnic table and 1 fire grate.
HIKING NEARBY: There are multiple trailheads located near the Vedauwoo designated campground and designated dispersed campsites. Among these various trails is the Turtle Rock Trailhead, a favorite for visitors. The trail is a short hike, that allows for all levels of hikers. It covers a nice loop that passes multiple rock formations and a few beaver ponds tucked back in the tress. Stop into the Laramie Ranger Station for free trail guides.
