Rendezvous takes place at a dispersed camping site in the Medicine Bow National Forest.

Detailed directions and a camp map are shared before the event here. Cell service is limited, so download directions and important information before leaving home.

Rendezvous is held at an undeveloped forest site. Campsites are generally unassigned and do not include electricity, water hookups, picnic tables, or other developed campground amenities.

Camp only in previously used areas and keep vehicles on established or hardened surfaces within 100 feet of the road.

Different camping areas may be designated for quiet, semi-quiet, and late-night activity. Follow posted quiet hours for your area.

If this is your first time camping at Rendezvous, we highly recommend that you arrive during the day.

All campers must follow Rendezvous policies, Forest Service rules, current fire restrictions, and directions from event organizers. Key expectations include:

• Practice consent. Ask before touching another person or their belongings, taking photos or recordings, or sharing content that includes them.

• Protect the forest. Do not litter, damage vegetation, pick flowers, create new roads, or drive off-road or mud-bog. Use the provided dumpsters and leave your campsite cleaner than you found it.

• Stay on established routes. Vehicles must remain within 100 feet of signed and numbered roads and may not cause resource damage. Do not drive farther off-road to unload at a campsite.

• Drive slowly. The maximum speed throughout the Rendezvous area is 10 mph.

• Follow ATV rules. ATVs must have a current Wyoming ORV sticker and may only be operated on designated Forest Service roads.

• No fireworks or firearms. Both are prohibited in the Rendezvous area.

• No illegal drugs. Rendezvous has a zero-tolerance policy. Marijuana is not legal in Wyoming.

• Use alcohol responsibly. Never provide alcohol to anyone under 21, and do not drive or operate equipment while impaired.

• Secure food and scented items to prevent wildlife encounters.

• Control your animals. Pets must be leashed, held, or under strict control, and waste must be cleaned up immediately. Horses must remain secured in the designated camping area.

• Respect quiet hours. During quiet hours, keep voices to a whisper and avoid music, parties, gatherings, barking dogs, generators, and vehicle engines.

Quiet Zone: 11:00 p.m.–7:00 a.m.
Semi-Quiet Zone: Midnight–7:00 a.m.
Party Zone: 1:00 a.m.–7:00 a.m.

Policy violations may result in removal from an activity or from Rendezvous.

Portable toilets are located throughout camp. Only toilet paper may be placed inside them.

Showers are available with a shower wristband, which may be purchased at camp or included with certain ticket packages or volunteer benefits.

Bring your own towel, toiletries, and shower shoes.

There is no drinkable-water source at Rendezvous, so be sure to purchase several jugs/gallons of water. Bottled water will also be for sale.

Free potable water is available at the Lincoln Monument rest stop. You will have to provide your own jug or containers.

Do not empty RV black or gray water into the portable toilets or onto the ground.

The sanitation vendor may be able to pump RV tanks for an additional fee while servicing the site. Availability is not guaranteed, so ask at the registration tent as early as possible.

Nearby dump-station options include:

• Laramie: Wyoming Territorial Prison State Historic Site, 975 Snowy Range Road. The site lists an RV dump station, but campers should confirm current hours, access, and fees before traveling.

• Cheyenne: Cheyenne Information Center on I-25 south of Cheyenne. WYDOT currently lists this location as an RV dump station. Check WYDOT travel information for closures before going.

Please use only an approved dump station or licensed pumping service. Never discharge wastewater anywhere in the forest or Rendezvous camping area.

All pets must be on a leash, in your arms, or under strict control at all times anywhere in the forest area. Pet waste must be cleaned up immediately.

Proof of current rabies vaccination must be provided to staff at time of check-in. Please have proof handy when you go to the registration tent.

Please keep your dog from barking continuously throughout the day, and especially at night.

Except for identified working service animals, dogs are not permitted inside Main Camp.

Start with the Camp Store at the registration tent, where you can purchase many commonly forgotten items, including toiletries, first-aid supplies, over-the-counter medications, clothing basics, ice, shower wristbands, and event merchandise. Selection is limited, so please bring all essential medications and specialized supplies with you.

For a larger supply run, Walmart Supercenters are available in both Laramie and Cheyenne. The Laramie store is located at 4308 E. Grand Avenue, and Cheyenne has locations at 580 Livingston Avenue and 2032 Dell Range Boulevard.

The closest quick stop is the gas station near Exit 323 at the Lincoln Monument, approximately 15 miles from camp. Because hours and availability may change, check before leaving camp. Cell service can be unreliable, so arrive prepared whenever possible.

No, this camping event is in the national forest. So, sites are unimproved, but unlimited space is available for campers. You can find numerous areas with fire rings; people usually set up their camps next to those. The campsite is divided into quiet areas and party zones. So please choose accordingly. We usually have between 400 and 550 campers every year.

Yes. The camp store typically offers Wyoming Equality and Rendezvous merchandise, ice, shower wristbands, event items, toiletries, over-the-counter health products, and commonly forgotten essentials.

Selection and quantities are limited. Bring all essential medications, specialized supplies, and personal necessities with you.

Programming changes from year to year, but usually includes a mix of:

• Community meals and social gatherings

• First-timer meetups

• Outdoor activities

• Wellness and recovery-friendly programming

• Drag, music, comedy, and other entertainment

• Games, workshops, and community services

Check the official schedule and Camp Bulletin Board each day for updates.

The site is rustic and includes uneven natural terrain.

Campers who need placement closer to Main Camp, portable toilets, showers, or other services should contact the Rendezvous team before arriving. Organizers will work with campers to identify available options, but not every part of the site is fully accessible.
