Perfect for last minute and in a pinch

Our other spots where all full so we just started heading to our next destination. Found this and there was plenty of space available. Great view of the Tetons. There will definitely be other people but it worked great for us when we just needed a place to sleep. People came in untill about 10:30 then it was quiet and people started packing up and leaving around 6. Right next to a river as well and the night sky was amazing!

Bug city

There were quite a lot of cars when I first pulled in but a lot left. Seemed like it is used as a parking lot/commuter lot sometimes. There were swarms of bugs since it is on the river but it works for a quick stay

Well cared for, but noisy

This is a loop that is next to the Teton River. If crowded there would maybe be 20 campers, but there are not any designated spots. There are a few fire rings scattered about- the stone kind. There are also two vault toilets. The local art league has had some kids paint the inside to look really cool. Overall I would recommend this site, but it's a Saturday night and there are some local kids here having a party. It's a little noisy. They aren't causing any harm.

Near the river

Dispersed campgrounds near the river. It seems that is managed during the summer season, but there was no one to check anything in May and plenty of places with fire pits. The road to access is okay from the north, but coming from the south is difficult if you use Google Maps (do not follow the instructions or you will find difficult roads). There are toilets available. Suitable for any type of RVs and trailers.

How do I get to Big Eddy Campground near Driggs, Idaho?

Big Eddy Dispersed Camping is accessible via a road that runs alongside the Teton River. If approaching from the north, the access road is in reasonable condition and suitable for most vehicles.

Yes, Big Eddy Dispersed Camping provides direct access to the Teton River. The campground loops alongside the river, offering multiple points to access the water. The river is described as lazy and suitable for swimming, fishing, and floating activities. Be aware that the riverside location means you may encounter swarms of insects, particularly during summer months. There's no potable water available at the campground, so visitors should bring their own drinking water.

What amenities are available at Big Eddy Campground?

Big Eddy Dispersed Camping offers basic amenities. There are two vault toilets on site that are artistically painted inside by local children, adding a unique touch to the facilities.
