Recreation area with activity Dispersed Camping
Upper Teton View Dispersed camping is a fantastic destination for those who enjoy primitive camping and stunning natural scenery. The campsite is located on the east side of the Teton Range in Wyoming, offering a remote and peaceful camping experience with breathtaking views of the Teton Range. The campground is located in a dispersed camping area, but the lack of amenities is more than made up for by the feeling of being immersed in nature. The Teton Range offers hiking trails, mountain biking routes and fishing opportunities. Visitors can also explore nearby Yellowstone National Park, which is home to a wide range of wildlife, including bison, elk and grizzly bears. Additionally, the campsite is located near several hot springs and natural swimming areas, providing a refreshing and unique way to cool off after a long day of outdoor activities.

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.

I wouldn't camp here for a few days, but this is great for a night's stay. Close to the park, 10 minutes on a good gravel road. Large area with a lot of space.

Designated dispersed camping - spots had bear boxes. Potentially crowded, I had a big space to myself. Beautiful views, quiet - river nearby
Traveler
Fantastic Spot but very busy, I got to the site at 6pm (admittedly) a lil late but all the spots were filled up. Thankfully was able to get in with someone and the spot I think was 10 but amazing spot. Cold morning but so worth it
Traveler
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:)
Traveler
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.
ScoutDispersed 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!
Guide
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.
Guide
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.
ScoutThe 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.
ScoutThe road in was easy to drive in our RV. This is just a gravel pit you park in. Lots of room for lots of vehicles.
Scout
There are extra pull offs by the river before the main area, perfect for car camping!
Scout
We camped just before this road and got a spot that was private off the road. Lots of dispersed camping off the main road in the bridgerton- Teton Forrest.
Guide
We stayed in the first area of the road to the lake, pit toilet and camp host. Room for maybe 6 or 7 rv's and 4 tent van campers. Unfortunately at night if there is room someone will park in the spot.
Scout
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.

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.

Stayed the last weekend of August. The area was amazing, moderate traffic but hardly any issues at night. The campground host Kevin was AWESOME and very attentive to all the sites. We had a nice view, no issues with bugs - just a mouse that was climbing ALL OVER the tent (: We would definitely stay here again. Road to get here is a little rough. Took my Subaru to the top point, definitely need more than a sedan to reach some areas! I believe we camped at #11. (Larger lot with the fire pit in the middle).
ScoutCan’t believe we got to spent 4 nights in this spot! Lots of space with fire rings and an amazing view. Has a bear box if you need it.
ScoutWe got to the campsite around 6:30. Good number were taken, but a couple left. Road was a little muddy in the AM after rain. Very quiet and peaceful.
Guide
A good amount of dispersed areas here. All the areas in the open meadow area closer by the road was occupied. We choose a dead end road and had the area all to ourselves. Had to back up the road about 200 feet because there was no turn around for the size of our rig (36 foot 5th wheel). But it is doable.
GuideA lot of boondocking opportunities in that area. Must of the spots in the open meadow area were full. Therefore, we went with this spot up a dead end road. With the size of r rig 36 foot Solltude I had to back up the road about 200 feet. Road in was a little rough but we managed.
Guide(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.

(October 5th, 2023) Camped in the backyard of a brewery! Got here after dark and it wasn’t totally clear where to find the camp spots, but after some exploring we got to the best site (43.1666131, -111.0380217). Great beer (and bathrooms) were just a quick walk away!
Guide(October 6th, 2023) Not sure how, but we got to spots 5-6 on the most damaged road I’ve ever been on. I wouldn’t even try again unless they’ve fixed it since last year! That being said, it was SO quiet and remote up there, we were actually afraid a bear was going to sneak up on us. Saw some mule deer, a fox, and so many stars at this beautiful site. We couldn’t see the Tetons themselves, but were surrounded by stunning views and forest, with not a single person in sight.

Great spot down by river. Mostly sunny area but found this spot with shade. Rough rd coming in but camper van accessible. Rock fire ring. There are houses across river but this site is private from that . Only bad thing is it’s quite a little drive back here. At 2pm on a Sunday no one around so far.
GuideThis campground was nice. Bathroom is well kept and stocked. This one even had soap. We arrived around 6pm in our Winnebago van and there were still a few available spaces.
GuideThis 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!
