    Moose Creek Trailhead Dispersed Area

    Literally perfect

    The site is close to the highway, but like other reviewers mentioned, all you really hear is the little river running right next to the campsite, which was super peaceful. The river was very cold, but it felt great for a quick dip after a long day hiking in the Tetons. Since Idaho is currently under a burn ban, we couldn’t use the really nice fire pit, but the site did have a bear box which was great for peace of mind. Overall, a very solid camping spot

    Fall Creek dispersed

    Rolling Hills Easy Roads

    Easy to get to. Good access to the streams. We parked in front of a trailhead that allows motor bikes, horses and hikers. Fire rings along the sites and level land. Peaceful night sleep.

    Headwaters Campground at Flagg Ranch — John D. Rockefeller, Jr., Memorial Parkway

    Peaceful and close to Snake River

    HeadWaters Rv campground is located in the perfect place right between Yellowstone and The Tetons. Perfect for exploring both Parks. The cell service is pretty spotty, but it’s great to just put down your phone and enjoy your surroundings. It is only 5 minutes walk from the campground to Snake River access. Fires are allowed at this campground. There are Rv, tent, and cabins to stay at. The cabins in the camp area are small but have full sized bunk beds and a desk and dresser. These cabins do not have water or electricity, but there are other cabins with power up the road. The tent and Rv spots are on gravel with lots of shade, a picnic table, and fire ring. Rv sites are Electric and water. There are so many activities to do. Along with the activities they have every day there is horse riding, guided fly fishing, hiking trails for everyone, bus tours, jr. rancher classes and so much more Also on site at the campground is a dish washing area next to the clean bathrooms and showers. There is a propane fill, fresh water fill, restaurant, gift shop, ATM machine, gas station, and bear boxes. I would definitely recommend this campground for any duration of trip.

    Sheffield Campground

    Great Stay

    We luckily found this gem of a campsite after looking in Yellowstone all day, we didn’t get here until later in the afternoon so I was very thankful to finally have somewhere to put up the tent. The camp host was so kind, we stayed in site #11 which is near the creek and by horses the trail riding place occasionally keeps there. My daughter loved petting the horses. Perfect spot between both parks, and we went and played in Snake River which the kids also loved. Gas station not far in case you need last minute things. Definitely recommend!

    Sheffield Campground

    Beautiful and quiet night

    Stayed here to be closer to Yellowstone’s south entrance but avoid the crowds. It’s a beautiful place - pristine single toilet, extremely friendly camp host, horses, nice neighbors and a pretty night sky. We arrived around 1pm on a summer Sunday night and got one of the last two spots in this small campground. About an hour into the heart of the park. Just beware of construction on the road further north (as of July 2023)

    Headwaters Campground at Flagg Ranch — John D. Rockefeller, Jr., Memorial Parkway

    Perfect Location

    Great spot on the outskirts of both Grand Teton and Yellowstone Parks. we stayed in a cabin which was very cozy and clean. A double bunk beds with a mattress, a desk and chairs and dresser. warm showers and bathrooms within walking distance. A hiking trail that follows snake river is not that far from ranch. Pricing at the grocery store and convenience store a bit high, $16 total for s’mores, so shop before. Activities available for youth and adults.

    Big Springs Campground

    The Drive Was Worth It!

    My 1st time camping here was better than I expected. We went up with some friends and had gotten 2 sites next to each other. Our site was a good size area, and was next to walking trails, across from the bathroom, and close to the water spigot. The scenery was beautiful. Surrounding trees, butterflies and one afternoon a deer had came close to our campsite. Our site did not have electric hook ups. It’s a nice campground, clean, and have walking trails that we took and caught beautiful scenery photos. Would return most definitely..No store, no firewood to buy, but close enough to head to town to get supplies.

    Sheffield Campground

    Get here while you still can

    Arrived late morning around 11:30. There were only 3 occupied spots so we had our pick of some great campsites. We had the place to ourselves until people started rolling in around 2. There is fairly nice space between campsites. Each one has a table, fire ring, and table. The sites are pretty large and level. We parked a 24’ sprinter no problem. We talked with the horse riding company just off the entrance and learned the bridge over the creek as you enter the campground is being removed. The banks to the creek would be too steep for vehicles to cross. Hope the bridge/creek get figured out because this is a special little spot.
