low key camping

friends and i left yellowstone at dark and just needed a place to sleep a decent distance from the park so we knew we’d have a place to sleep. arrived late and just found a spot and went to bed. cool spot, nothing crazy but great for a quick night’s stop.

Last minute camp site!

We decided to camp on the way back up from Jackson and found this little gem! There were plenty of RVs camping in open areas right by the entrance but if you follow the dirt road, there’s more secluded spots within the trees. The road was a bit rocky, but our sedan made it through with some careful maneuvering.
