Everyone who grew up in Wyoming grew up camping. It’s practically impossible to live in the Cowboy State without taking a tent vacation at least once a year! If you’re looking to change up your usual routine, why not try camping at the Vedauwoo?
There are so many places to pitch a tent in Wyoming, but none is quite as magical as the Vedauwoo.
This collection of rock formations is unique to Wyoming, and it's completely natural. The rocks here are millions of years old, and it's a legendary destination in the rock climbing community.
Prior to European colonization, this area was home to Arapaho people who called it the Land of the Earthborn Spirit. Walking around, you'll feel like you're in a truly sacred space.
Be sure to check the weather before planning your camping trip - it can get snowy, windy, and brutally cold. There aren't many trees for shelter and the entire plateau is fairly exposed to the elements.
