Always peaceful and enjoyable
Have been able to stay here multiple times. Either in a tent or truck camper. Easy to get to and beautiful views! Most recent time we stayed in a truck camper on the flat top, but have ventured down the hill to other spots before.
Amazing views, super private.
Amazing campsite! Views of the Tetons from the front of the tent. Beautiful crystal clear river running right next to the site. It was frigid but perfect for a plunge before a day or hiking the Tetons. there was firewood left behind from the last group that used the site so we returned the favor. Road was a tad rough getting to our site but we were in a Honda civic and we were just fine. Bring bug spray!
Amazing views, heavy on bug spray!
I stayed here on 07/02/2023; seriously, bring buy spray. There are soooooo many mosquitoes, but overall, it was very peaceful and serene. There are about 6 campsites that I was able to see. Of course, the earlier the better so you can claim your campsite since it first come, first served. The dirt road isn't tooo bad, certainly easier to navigate if you have a high clearance vehicle but manageable for my boyfriends Subaru Legacy. There was a beaver that hung out with us alongside the river bed and we heard a bunch of cows in the morning! I would love to go back again!!

Perfect seclusion
Views for days, this was such a great place I decided to stay for two nights. It got a little chilly at night you could definitely hear the wildlife getting active at night there was lots of howling both nights. You do get to see some People riding horses and there are definitely lots of bugs because you’re close to the river but a simple small fire helps with that a lot or just bring your bug spray.

Secluded & Quiet
Cool stars, no one around, nothing but you and your campsite surrounded by nature. Heard some howling the other night - be a wary of wildlife. But a great place if you’re looking for solitude. Spots are all extremely spaced out.
Bring bug spray
For the views of grand Teton, make your way down the path to the spot by the river . Great spot , very private. The mosquitos were terrible so we opted to sleep in the car for the night , the views were rewarding though. No ATT or Verizon service
Designated Dispersed Camping
Another one of the “Designated Dispersed Camping” areas we’ve been seeing around here, not to be confused with the nearby developed Turpin Meadows campground, which has a fee and regular sites with tables, bear boxes, toilets, etc.
Camping in these designated dispersed areas is only allowed in marked sites. Unlike all the camping areas to the south and the east of Grand Teton NP, this area was quiet and we finally got to relax after unsuccessfully hunting for a spot all day.
Site #1 is basically a large pullout along the road, but despite that it felt very peaceful here. The road is almost completely quiet at night. There was a small camper here when we arrived, but we parked at the other end of the lot and didn’t feel like we were crowding them.
Sites #2 and 3 are further in, lower and closer to the creek. We didn’t go down there because they were occupied, but we enjoyed our beautiful views of the valley and the mountains from up high at site #1. There are about 20 more sites between this spot and Turpin Meadows Campground 7 miles away, according to the posted map, but we didn't go check them out.
There is no water or garbage so pack in and pack out.
Very weak to non-existent cell service here, but the cell booster bumped up the verizon phone to 3 bars of 3G, and at times LTE, and gave the ATT phone and TMobile hotspot a couple of bars as well, though TMobile’s service was roaming.
We woke up to cows breakfasting around our RV!
