For Labor Day we headed out to Vedauwoo Campground with no reservations. I thought about whether I should be worried about getting a spot since it was Labor Day weekend and quickly dismissed the idea as ridiculous. We've always gotten a spot somewhere, even on busy holiday weekends.
We arrived at Vedauwoo and found four sites empty. One was at the edge, which is what we like for being able to walk the dogs. But it wasn't level. We first tried 4 boards and that wasn't quite enough so then we tried 6 boards but they slid out. 5 boards also slid out. I hated to think it but I figured we would have to take one of the other 3 sites, 2 of which required no leveling. However, my husband had spotted boondocking sites on our last visit while he was hiking so we set out to find them.
Turns out they are ridiculously easy to find, very close, plentiful, roomy and very level. We passed many empty sites and finally settled on one. The dirt road was a little washboard so we didn't go as far as we probably should have in the hunt.

We spent the first 20 min. picking up trash, bottles, glass etc. on the site. Hopefully anyone who uses this blog to find sites will do the same so we leave the national forest cleaner than we found it.
