Highway 33 runs close enough to Mike Harris Campground that campers hear traffic from most sites, though many find themselves too busy exploring nearby trails to notice. This Forest Service campground sits just off the road in Targhee National Forest, providing 27 sites that mix exposed spots suitable for RVs with more sheltered areas tucked among the trees.
The campground underwent recent renovations that left sites with new picnic tables, bear boxes, and fire rings. Sites accommodate RVs up to 40 feet, with level parking areas that work well for larger rigs. Walk-in tent sites offer more privacy deeper in the forest. Dave C. notes "the sites are varied, some quite exposed (for RVs and large campers), and others more nestled into the trees."
Wildlife regularly moves through the area, with moose spotted wandering the campground during evening hours. Bear activity requires all food storage in hard-sided vehicles or the provided bear boxes, as both grizzly and black bears frequent the region. The pit toilets earn consistent praise from campers for exceptional cleanliness. Firewood is available from camp hosts, and free collection is permitted in surrounding forest areas.
Most sites operate on a first-come, first-served basis, though several accept reservations through Recreation.gov. The campground stays open May through September, with peak season bringing families and festival-goers attending events at nearby Targhee ski area. Katherine B. describes "fantastic biking, hiking, and wildlife viewing just a few minutes from town amenities." Access to Driggs takes about ten minutes for supplies or meals.
Payment uses an envelope system at the entrance, so bring exact change in small bills for the $17 nightly fee.
