Big Eddy/Rainey Campground

We had a bit of a time locating this dispersed site. For the most part, it is quiet, no trees or shade. Supreme floating opportunities as well as drift boats. It is a launch site as well as a take out. Looks like great flyfishing if you can find a spot.

The Big Eddy campgrounds are spacious and well kept. Mostly quiet with a bit of fishing traffic but everyone is respectful. I would definitely camp here again. We still have 5G service but are quite a distance from the quaint, little town. Many good restaurants. Great hiking, kayak on the Teton River!

So many people here. Looks like a hippy swingers paradise

Just as others said - be very careful following GPS for this site.

I took 5000w instead of 6000w and was in for the ride of my life. The roads were a mangled mess and I thought we were going to get stuck or badly damage our Rav4.

Once you get here - it’s very nice. Lots of places to park. Not busy but you likely won’t be alone.

We followed the directions on a review as Google was taking us the wrong way, so be aware of this. We parked at sunset and saw the sky turn all beautiful colors around the tetons, listening to the river babble, while the coyotes howled to each other. There were other people there but most were very respectful. Some kids rolled in about midnight, made a lot of ruckus and partied till dawn, bit once we knew what was going on, it didn't bother us. Reminiscant of our youth. 😉 Very close to town and some awesome mountain biking at Horseshoe Canyon. We loved it and plan on returning.

We did return, there were only 3 other campers here. Never heard any of them. Adding more pictures of the sunrise.

Nice distant view of the west side of the park and mountain range. Space for many vehicles, and there will probably be a handful at least. Not too crowded but Not too private. Teton River lazily passes by with opportunities for kayaking, SUP boarding, or fishing.

To get here (don’t follow google maps): pass the Bates Bridge to your right (if you’re coming from town), turn right on 6000 W, then right again on 2000 N. The road is gravel and flatter than the alternative. Nice drop in on the river for tubes and fishing. Flat grassy yard with tables and fire pits. 2 Vault toilets on site.

Beautiful spot with gorgeous views of the backside of the Teton range. Easy access to put on or take off the Teton River but just a wide open area so little to no privacy for camping and lots of other days vehicles so come later I think after day vehicles have left. For one night was decent quick spot.

It is close to Driggs Idaho and roads are easily accessible for any size rig. Boondocking area is relatively level. There are two bathrooms that were kept very clean. No water nor trash receptacles. There is a boat put/take out that stays busy thru the day. We were here for six nights, quiet at night and other than the boat activity during the day, camping area is quiet during the day. There is room for 15-20 rigs of any size.

I come here often - but mostly as a paddler! This is a very popular put in and take out for river trips, so expect traffic during the day - or even at night; full moon floats happen too! Very likely to see moose, sand hill cranes, ducks, geese, owls and other wildlife. Fishing isnt bad, but some of those big ones are pretty smart. I’ve seen hundreds of them in the river when it’s clear. Expect local scouts camping in the summer and lots of activity - but its a nice little campground or tailgate area after a paddle.
