Toppings Lake in Bridger-Teton National Forest

This site is about 2.5 miles off Highway 89. Very private. Lots of wood can be gathered in surrounding area. At dusk elk were bugling near campsite!! Biggest negative is that the site is not near the vault toilet at the base of the campground, so you’ll need to dig a hole or drive to the bottom.

Although it can be pretty busy and hard to find a private campsite, the views are worth it! You can stay in the main area at the bottom if there’s room, or keep driving up the NF road to the other designated spots. There are no toilets and some of the areas are not very private so you may have to walk up the road a bit to do your business. I stayed here on my way to Yellowstone from Tetons.

This made a great base to explore the park. The lower designated sites were crowded (often with more than one camper by site). I drove up a little further up and enjoyed lots of solitude. Some of the sites are walk-up: you park here the yellow sign is and hike a couple of minutes to the actual designates site (if you have a tent). IMHO these were the best: best views, solituded and even signal! Downside: you can't see the tent from the sign so I got back from hikes and the spot to park the car was filled. As someone else said: the vault toilet is at the entrance. There isn't one as far as I drove up. The road varies in quality: some parts are very smooth, some parts are very rocky (so parts looked very muddy after rain!). There were some bugs/mosquitos but not too crazy.
