    Island Park, Idaho

    High in the Caribou–Targhee National Forest, 90 miles northeast of Idaho Falls, Henrys Lake is a stone’s throw from the Continental Divide and the western boundary of Yellowstone National Park. Situated in a wide, flat basin, and surrounded by 10,000-foot peaks, this shallow alpine lake is as popular with migrating birds as it is with local sport fishers. The small state park at Henrys Lake is a great spot for spending a few days fishing, lounging and wildlife watching, or for exploring some of the area’s other attractions, including Yellowstone, Harriman State Park, Mesa Falls, and various hiking, horseback, and ATV trails.

    Campers visiting Henrys Lake State Park will find more than 80 tent and RV sites situated near the lake’s eastern shore. Sites are equipped with electrical and water hookups, picnic tables, and fire pits with cooking grills. Some sites are ADA accessible. Campground amenities include flush restrooms, showers, picnic areas. A dump station is located onsite. The park also has a few camping cabins for rent. Dogs are permitted in the park, but must remain leashed. Camping is available from mid-May through mid-October. Sites are $20–$31/night; cabins are $50–$55/night; reservations are accepted.

    For fishing on the lake, the park has a boat ramp and fish cleaning station. Yellowstone cutthroat is the most common at Henrys Lake, but there is also a significant number of cutthroat-rainbow (cut-bow) hybrids. Paddlers can launch from the beach area; kayak rentals are available. Wildlife watching from the park’s 3 miles of hiking and biking trails—as well as the lake’s shoreline–can be exceptional. Besides the prolific number of migrating birds, including waterfowl, eagles and hawks, there are frequent sightings of deer, moose, and antelope. The park also hosts seasonal nature programs.

    **CAUTION STAFF STEALS FROM CAMPS*** Dropped off my cooler at my campground in a bear box. Came back from hike and my cooler packed with food for week was stolen out of bear box. Asked nearby campers who witnessed staff taking cooler. Contacted security/ staff and was brushed off. Got local police involved and the next day cooler was returned empty. Don’t make the same mistake we did. Always lock your stuff up at this campsite and do not trust the staff/ security. Thank you colter bay staff for ruining our trip.

    Dispersed camping on road to Cave Falls

    Free. Coordinates: 44.09981,-111.17306. Camped here on Sept 21, 2024. Set back and above busy Forest Road 582 which heads toward Cave Falls; no issues with dust from forest road. Site is also referred to as Lower Creek Road Campground. Large site, should easily accommodate 3 rigs. A few spots are level. Up on a small hill above Rock Creek. Can't see the creek, but you can hear it. Dirt surface. Tent camping possible. Surrounded by tall trees, but open sky above. Site has a bear box and a rock fire ring. There is also an old lean-to near the fire ring. The access track is pot-holed; may be muddy. No hiking trails. No T-Mobile nor AT&T cell service. It's a nice site; nothing special. Good for a quiet overnight stay if visiting Cave Falls.

    Excellent National Forest Campground

    Very well maintained campground. Stayed here for a few nights in mid-Sept 2024; no fees - end of summer season. Summer time fee is $17. Mix of pull-thru and back-in sites. Some sites are in the open; others are set back into thick forest. Campground accommodates tent campers, hammock campers, van campers, car campers, truck campers. One camper managed get his big travel trailer into a campsite. Large sites, good spacing between them. Clean vault toilets in different parts of the campground. Water was still turned on during our stay. Usually has a host, but not during my stay. Campsites are level on a gravel surface with a newish table, metal fire ring and a tent pad. Area is popular with hikers. Good trails from the campground. No T-Mobile nor AT&T cell service. The forest road accessing the campground is in good shape; access is from the Idaho side of the Tetons. Stayed in site #2 with a campervan; pull-thru site with a tent pad. A lush forest was directly behind this site. Loved camping here. Look forward to returning.

    Good location. Great host!

    Great location. Close to the park entrance and West Yellowstone. Pit toilets were in really good shape. And the camp host went way beyond to help us with a situation. The campground however, really needs to provide some place for waste water for those of us who are not camping in an RV. A bear had been sighted, and there were red Active Bear Area signs everywhere, so it was critical to keep a clean site.

    We’re on a month-long RV trip across CA, NV, WY, MT, WA, OR, & so far, this was our favorite stop by far!! The grounds are superb with on-site restaurant & laundry (free laundry — a first!). The owners are great, very attentive. AND we woke up to see a moose up close & personal! Also very close to Grand Tetons. All around an amazing experience. We loved it so much we’re trying to plan a family trip around staying here again.

    Beautiful stop on way to Montana

    FS type campground in N ID just off I-15. Campsites at the top of the campground are best. Loop A (we were in A05) faces a road with lots of dry camp and UTV traffic. Also only 1 vault toilet in that loop, while upper has a 2 stall vault toilet. Nice level sites, mainly shady sites. Bear cans. Walking up road we had access to a number of trails some of which are for UTVs but were not busy while we were there. LOTS of RV groups up the road.

    Beautiful open space

    This is a beautiful spot. A little difficult to find. The road leading down to the lake looks like it’s someone’s driveway adjacent. I drove by it a few times before actually finding it. Once I got there though definitely worth it. It looks like a gravel parking lot. There were 2 small RVs already there when I got there; and a truck had pulled in sometime overnight when I woke up. The lake is gorgeous. It’s quiet and dark and very peaceful!!

    Beautiful sunset over the Tetons.

    Nice place with cell service close to West Yellowstone

    I enjoyed boondocking here in my tent. I had good cell service with Google FI wireless. Also I was able to get by the road and make it in my Honda Accord. Nice place even had a bear box for food storage.

    Tricky to Find but Worth It

    This place was hard to find - I almost gave up. The GPS directions and coordinates on this app are both wrong. Take Warm Slough Rd off 4000 N. Ignore the no trespassing signs- they refer to the land on either side of the road. You can also search "Warm Slough Campground" in google maps. There is a smaller campground at the end of the road, and a larger one with pit toilets if you hang a right at the brown sign with the various camping rules.

    Lots of options with fire rings and tables. Really nice and peaceful once you find it :-)

    GPS for my spot: 43.8731862, -111.8663080

    Coolest Campsite I’ve ever stayed at

    This free dispersed site was absolutely unreal. We met the most amazing people and go to watch the sunrises, sunsets, thunderstorms and rainbows over the Tetons each and every day. Truly an amazing experience and I hope everyone can make it out here some day. We stayed at site #9 and honestly I think it’s the best site on the entire campground. Everyone was wondering how we snagged it and I said “get there earlier in the morning” haha. Enjoy:)

    Nice view of the Tetons

    Very peaceful, only one other camper near by for the first 5 days, then had the area to myself. Best view spots need decent clearance. Great view of some of the Tetons from the west side, overlooking the small town of Victor.

    Spot #5 was very nice

    Dispersed Camping space #5 was very nice. We decided to pull our 29' travel trailer only partway into the space to find the most level spot. But we still had some 4 acres all to ourselves! The mosquitos were not fooling around though!

    USFS Strong

    Outstanding little USFS campground with convenient trail access for Jedediah Smith Wilderness, Alaska Basin, and Grand Teton National Park. Vault Toilets are recently updated, the water is cold and clear, the creek is beautiful, and in my 3x staying the hosts have always been extremely helpful and friendly. The road back in is long and all gravel, but easy to handle in any vehicle if you keep it a reasonable speed. There is no cell service of any sort except in random, almost impossible to find again spots. Plenty of wildlife in the area- always be bear aware!

    Better Than Anything You Could Pay For

    Absolutely the best the USFS dispersed system has to offer. Unbeatable views, understanding site neighbors, attentive host, and all the peace and quiet you can tolerate. Be forewarned, after you drive all the way back to the dispersed site area, MOST of 40+ sites are up a steep, 4x4 required hillside, many aren’t level enough for tenting, and all are in bear country, but again- WORTH IT. Have been here 3x now and will be back.

    Colter Bay Campground at Colter Bay Village - Grand Teton National Park

    Dense trees friendly campers

    This review is for the basic campground at colter bay in grand Tetons. Not the RV park which is very dense parking RV to RV. Not the cabins. Just a plain national park campground. Each site has tent pad, table, and fire ring. Flush toilets and sinks in building within each campground loop. Water spigot near rest room. Depending on site, it may be 500 feet to restrooms (like site C60). Sites are well screened from adjacent sites with dense trees and bushes. Star watching is limited due to trees. Every site was full mid week mid September. Very friendly campers from all across US, Canada, and Europe. It is a bear area black and grizzly. Bear spray recommended on hikes. Great wildlife viewing on local trails, or near Jackson lake dam and various sites around the park. Moose, bears, elk, beavers, raptors,… Easy to spend 3-4 days enjoying the park and viewing wildlife Note this site turns into a big puddle after a solid day of rain. Tent pad raised with gravel and logs was above water. Many sites likely have similar issue. But not all. Very limited T-Mobile if any.

    Great spot way up in the woods

    Large open meadow at 7270 ft. elevation. Very open with several good level areas for RVs or tents. Wide open skies and a fire ring. Great spot if it’s available.

    Popular and convenient

    This area seems to be very popular. It is very close to the Grand Tetons. There is spotty Verizon signal. Because it is very popular I would suggest larger rigs to arrive earlier in the day in order to get a spot. There seems to be an abundance of camping areas. I stayed here for three nights and was unable to camp at the same location each night. Great views and people around me were polite and quiet.

    Road Not RV Friendly

    The road is very rough. We drove up, but there were a lot of very rough patches. The place was full, so we continued on to find another area.
