Fiddle Creek

Fiddle Creek Campground is clean and well maintained, which is always great to find.  But its close proximity to Hwy 49 (maybe 75 feet away) makes for more headlights and traffic noise than I'm used to when camping (especially since the majority of traffic is from loud trucks that zoom by at 50-60 mph).  Another negative is the abundance of mosquitoes, which I guess you have to expect when you're near a river but still not pleasant.  Also, the sites are close together with little or no privacy.  We were one of only two campers there but still could easily see and hear the other camp, and those open sight lines made for frequent territorial barking between the dogs in both camps.  Finally (and this is admittedly a nitpick), you can't see the river from the campground, which is too bad because you're camped so close to it.  (You'll have to go to Carlton Campground a few miles down the road if you want a river view.)  I'd reserved Campground 15 (at the very end of line) but after my husband complained about how far away it was from the toilets, we moved to Campground 6 (as I said, pretty empty campground during the week, although the ranger said it's usually full on weekends).  Site 6 was fine, but Site 15 would've been quieter as it's farther away from the road and the river and it has more space around it than others.

This is right off HWY 49. Tent only. You park and walk to you camping which is with other camps right by. It's not too bad and if you get a group you can get your own little slice of the campground to yourself. 

Toilets are pit toilets. So make sure you keep the door shut and lid down to help with the smell sometimes during busy week/ends. They are clean once a week and there are two dumpster that are picked up weekly too. 

No camp host. So people are loud at times. But for the most part people are pretty good. 

Bear boxes have been put in, in the last 4 years or so. During the bad drought the bears were losing for food. But really having had any issues since that year. 

Also no cell service.... which I love. 

The river is cold and refreshing. People pan for gold and some walk up the road to Jackson Hole to float down. About 5 mins up, pass a few houses on your right.
