"Not far from Victor or Jackson."
"Great place to rest for a night and close to Jackson. The camp site is easily accessible by cars and vans. We were the only people camping when we arrived late at night."
"Only one had a noisy generator;) our spot was right next to the roaring Palisades Creek, and a short walk to restrooms. Only 15 bucks a night;)"
"Adequately spaced sites, next to a creek. Well maintained, nice hiking trails. $12/night. Allows dogs and has good cell service. Picnic tables and fire pits."
"Steep 3 miles up highway outside Jackson. Pull off on RIGHT small area with a beautiful waterfall fed pond !"
"The creek water sound is nice but the highway noise is loud so be aware, although the noise almost stops completely by 9/10pm. Clean camp area."
$105 / night
"The outside area is very nice with a table, fire ring and bear box. Parking for the tent was directly next to the cabin and outdoor pad."
"Surrounded by trees perfect for hammocks. Great designated, flat tent pad. Walking distance to the lake. Not too close to the shops but still close enough to walk to."
"If you go further it goes straight down into the woods toward a lake and it's very dark and no light, no stars, and truly scary bear country."

"Great spot on the outskirts of both Grand Teton and Yellowstone Parks. we stayed in a cabin which was very cozy and clean."
$13 / night
"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."
"Stayed here to be closer to Yellowstone’s south entrance but avoid the crowds."
RangerNever too packed. There’s about 6 spaces that I’ve counted to camp. Trailhead draws a lot of visitors during the day. No toilets, dumping, hookups or water. Just the stars and roaring creek. Beautiful back there. Once you pass Moose Creek Ranch, it’s a straight shot back on that bumpy road. Not far from Victor or Jackson.
GuideTurpin Meadow Campground was a happy stumble-upon for us. We went to the Tetons and had no idea how crazy busy it would be, so were forced out of the park to find a place to stay.
Truthfully, this campground wasn't much, and was kind of difficult to get to (at least the way we went in). It fulfilled all that we wanted it to do though. A place to park our car and utility trailer for the night and wake up early to go into the park. There was water and vault toilets on site, so that was nice.
This is actually right next to (or apart of?) an equestrian park with lots of horses and horse corrals all around. It was truthfully a little spooky hearing the horses start to whinny in the middle of the night, but we got over that.
GuideStayed in mid-June when Yellowstone and Teton were brimming with tourists. We had booked a back-up RV spot near the south entrance to Teton, but after looking at it just filled our water there and left (it was basically an open field with 50 of your not best friends in RV's blasting music). Took a chance on Pacific Creek. All of the dispersed camping was taken, but the campground itself, which is at the end of the road, was about empty. For $10 we got a spacious site, table and fire ring. Water was available as were pit toilets. Looks like a great equestrian campground and we saw a few parties with horses. Make sure you make use of the bear boxes, as we saw plenty of bear prints and other sign within 200 yards of our site. Lovely trails leave right from here. The camp host is a Swiss ex-musician and all around nice guy.
ScoutA little ways off the highway comes a dispersed camping area near Turpin Meadows. There are nearby and accessible vault toilets and horse areas but for the most part, these camping spots are few and far between. There are several shaded spots without a view but that keep you free from the heat of summer and a couple more exposed spots that are very warm during the day but reward you with some incredible views. Easy access to both Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park as well as some great hiking in the area. Would definitely return!
GuideAfter almost 10 back to back individual nights at campgrounds, it was nice to be able to have two back to back nights in a tent cabin. The cabins are great with two wood walls, two canvas tent walls and roof, four drop down bunks and a nice potbelly stove. The outside area is very nice with a table, fire ring and bear box. Parking for the tent was directly next to the cabin and outdoor pad.
The only drawback is that the tent cabins are quite close to each other. The family in the tent next to mine was very nice, but also quite loud. The area luckily was quiet after 10pm.
The campground village itself was very nice, with all sorts of shopping and food options. Since I arrived at the campground around 4pm I quickly unloaded my gear into the cabin. Instead of cooking I grabbed a bite to eat and a six pack of local beer, and headed over to a spot on Jackson Lake to have a sunset dinner. The campground location is perfect to get out and explore.
The cabin bunks are comfortable, if not a bit loud when sleeping and moving around. I woke myself several times with chains making noise. After the third time, I grabbed a bottle of bike chain lubricant and did some work to make them quiet. it worked and the rest of the night was quite peaceful.
Mornings are definitely busy in the village. I was up around 7am and rode my bike to the General Store to grab a coffee. I took a little ride down to the lake and drank my coffee in a quiet spot that was perfect for meditation. I then rode back to my site and grabbed my toiletries and rode back to the Launderette/Shower. They had a little line to get a shower stall, but it moved quickly. The cost was $5 and it was well worth it for the ability to take a nice long uninterrupted shower.
I spent the day exploring Jackson and over into the Teton Valley and Driggs/Victor. I returned later in the afternoon and grabbed a bite from John Colter's Ranch House . The second night was much more quiet and peaceful with the stars shining bright.
My only qualms about the site were about how close you are to other cabins and the noise. I would still love to stay here again.
GuideStayed here one night while bikepacking on the Tour Divide route. Multiple sites were open and the camp hosts were very friendly. They ensured I knew about the potential for bears and answered a few questions about the area. Each site had a bear box. There was a small herd of horses roaming with bells to deter the bears. I was able to get food at the nearby lodge. Very quiet, away from the traffic of the national park. Great nights sleep and beautiful morning.
LegendHeadWaters 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.
GuideWe 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!
RangerMid week during mid September and everything was pretty full, so we made the trek out of Tetons and up to this site. The sign at the road says trailhead, but if you keep making your way up, you’ll get to the sites. Bear boxes, rock fire ring, nice pit toilet, a frame to hang food, and horse camping too. Appears to be 4 established sites and a possible dispersed site near the horse area. It was very quiet and peaceful. There’s a map at the front showing all the trails that Box Creek connects to. Also, we saw dumpsters on the road in/out, not far from the turnoff.
