      Gros Ventre Campground — Grand Teton National Park

      Beautiful view, little privacy

      After spending considerable effort to find and book a nice site, we booked site #68. Absolutely beautiful view of the Tetons. I loved the openness of the site, but my family felt it wasn't very private. Lack of clean fresh water (was not going to use the suspect water hose at the dump site), other than hauling it from spigot at bathroom, was a little annoying. No more appointment times for dumping, which was good. Helpful camp hosts.

      Snake River Dispersed - Rockefeller Memorial Parkway

      Not Dispersed

      Great spot for camping if you get there early and you don’t mind people driving by looking for spots at any hour. This area should not be advertised as dispersed camping, strict site camping with signs everywhere. We had to drive an hour+ up the road, requiring 4x4, to get to National Forest and legally camp. We slept in our car, uncomfortable with how much human traffic there was and the possibility of bears in camp. Make sure to properly store food, there are only site specific bear boxes after camp 1.

      That being said, it was a beautiful drive out in the morning and was a convenient location between Yellowstone and Grand Teton.

      Shadow Mountain - Dispersed Campsite #10

      Unbelievable Views

      Absolutely breathtaking experience camping in site #10a. We got there around 1-2pm and every spot was already filled except for 10a. We accidentally missed it the first time but caught it on our way back down. We went as far as site #17 before we turned around. Plan ahead. Get a spot early and put out some chairs/tables to mark it as yours if you have other plans for the day. It’s a dirt/rocky road uphill the whole way. We wanted to stay for 2 nights but it ended up raining the entire night and was forecasted to rain the entire next day so we moved on to the next location. Beware! If it rains, that dirt/rocky road turns into pure mud. I hydroplaned the whole 15-20ish minutes down. Thank god for downhill braking systems! Would I do it again for that view? You bet.

      Signal Mountain Campground — Grand Teton National Park

      Great lakeside campground

      Being on Jackson lake is awesome - we swam near the boat ramp with amazing views. We also rented a runabout motor boat one day too, so we could get up into Morane Bay and the mountains towered above us.  Clean showers with heat in private rooms - totally worth the 5 bucks (7 minutes turns out to be just enough time, surprisingly). We even did laundry one morning while we walked to the lodge for breakfast. Had a drink in the bar during a thunderstorm, so I feel like we really used all the lodge/campground amenities during our 3 day stay. We could hear elk bugling one night, which was extra special.

      One warning - we choose the generator-free loop, but our spot was right next the generator loop, so it actually didn't matter. The loops are tight and right next to each other. Duh! We weren't at the site that much so it wasn't a huge deal and people respect the quiet hours. 

      One star off for the bathrooms - they're fine but could use some love.

      Gros Ventre Campground — Grand Teton National Park

      Away from the crowds

      This campground is on the edge of the park and feels better spaced out than the other Teton sites. There was plenty of room and even the loop behind us was pretty much empty. Views are not from the sites, but nearby. We could walk to the river and sit on the banks in the sun. We bought firewood and ice from the office, just like the other Teton campgrounds.  One star off for the bathrooms, which could use some love.

      So worth it !!

      This camp was so beautiful. It’s nestled right on the lake and the sunset is just stunning. The bathrooms were so clean and there was even a mural painted on the walls. There are several places to camp along the red rocks pass road if you don’t want to drive all the way down to the lake. The lake sites are so beautiful that if you opt out you’re definitely going to miss out.

      (October 6th, 2023) We got here late and squeezed into either 1A or 1C since everything else was taken, but the site was beautiful. We backed in between the trees for privacy and had a perfect, small area to ourselves, up until a big group of teenagers with multiple cars set up camp right around the corner (not in a designated spot). We knew it was a Friday night, and we could hear even more partying down the road, but we still wished for peace and quiet. In the morning, we walked down the road a bit to watch the sunrise reflecting off the Tetons. Even though our experience wasn’t perfect, it was gorgeous, so close to the park, and most importantly, free! I would definitely try to come earlier to get a more secluded site.

      Friendly and accommodating staff

      They first put us by the road and we requested to change sites and they did so. The sites are not well maintained and small. Our picnic table was old and gives splinters if you’re not careful. The store is nice and bathrooms and showers are clean. Overall, it’s too pricey for conditions but doable for a short stay

      Gorgeous views and clean site

      I’m not sure why this place isn’t 5/5! We booked this site last minute as we have been exploring Yellowstone with no registrations for overnight stays. We called at 6pm (when they close) looking for space and the host said she will stay open for 30 mins till we get there. She was so very sweet and welcoming. Site was very clean, bathrooms were the cleanest we have experienced at camp sites. And the BEST views! Nice to have a designated sink for washing dishes. No bear boxes but kept everything in the car and we were good. Very bumpy road to get to the campground but sometimes it takes a rough road to get off the beaten path :) only thing was that each site has big metal fire pits and ours was totally missing. The sites next to us were vacant so we just stole the one from there.

      Very nice free campsites near Grand Teton NP

      This was a nice peaceful stay. Only about 15 minutes from the park entrance at Grand Teton and maybe about 45 minutes from Yellowstone NP. The place has a fire ring and also a bear food bin for food storage. And even a bathroom at the entrance of the camp site!

      Great spot

      Great spot. Good views if you get a spot close to the the creek. Easy to get to and the road was in good condition. Some cell phone reception. Some flies. Some noise from the road close by but not an issue. Please be respectfull of wild life in the area (there are fish and small frogs in the creek). Please dont disturb them, dont get in the creek

      Be comfortable with your neighbor!

      You definitely need to be comfortable being close to your neighbor as sights aren’t private & close together. Restrooms ok and it was great having a dishwashing station.

      There are no showers here. Fires were allowed & they provided a 5 gallon bucket near a spigot to put out fire.
      Each campsite had a large bear box.

      OK, but very pricey!

      Wow, maybe it’s me, and the fact that we’ve been spending a lot of time at state campgrounds and off grid on BLM land, but $65 to sleep on top of each other, albeit it is beautiful National Park, but here’s the kicker, five dollars for a shower and $12.00 for a bundle of wood?! Wow, back to Forest Service and BLM land…

      Solo Motorcycle Camping

      Great views! Typical campground, limited options. I’d get here before 1 pm if you want a spot. I got lucky with my spot and got here at 2 PM. Seems like most people leave at 9-11 am when theyre done. Great views of the Tetons and close to the National Park if you can snag a spot. It’s free for 5 nights, then you gotta move camp!

      Edit:

      My first night in some car alarm went off at lime 12 am which was annoying.

      Here I am drinking beer tonight and one of my neighbors biked up to me to ask if I saw a bear. Apparently it was going around camp and bothered these two girls who set off their car alarm to try and scare it away. I say this just to say be smart. Be safe out there people!

      Shoshoni Lake is not free dispersed camping

      Shoshoni Lake is not free dispersed camping. These are paid sites which do not accommodate RVs. I spoke to someone from Yellowstone on the phone and they confirmed this.

      Henry Flats Dispersed Spot

      One of my favorites free camping spots

      I highly recommend staying here if you’re around Yellowstone National Park. I’ve been on a 2 month road trip around the West and this has been one of my favorite dispersed camping sites. I planned on just crashing here for a night but ended up staying for a couple days because of how beautiful this spot is. If you go, drive all the way down the gravel road and there is a nice place for people to camp out right at the level of the lake. It’s clean and a good place for families to camp out!
