    BLM Skull Canyon Road Dispersed

    Dispersed Camping in a Canyon

    Coordinartes: 44.16547,-112.90392. Beautiful views. Large dirt and gravel site, right along side to Skull Canyon Road, about a mile from ID Hwy 28. Canyon walls on each side. Rough narrow rocky track to the site from the highway; recommend high clearance. High humps on this track. Small rock fire ring. Grass and sagebrush all around site. Some leveling may be required. Tent camping possible. Very peaceful; can hardly hear road noise from highway. The only vehicle that drove by was a national forest truck. No cell service. There are several boondocking sites, some with vault toilets nearby, along Hwy 28 in the Birch Creek Recreation Area.

    Wood Road Dispersed Site

    Great spot off the beaten path

    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.

    low key camping

    friends and i left yellowstone at dark and just needed a place to sleep a decent distance from the park so we knew we’d have a place to sleep. arrived late and just found a spot and went to bed. cool spot, nothing crazy but great for a quick night’s stop.

    Great spot with lots of sites

    Great spot just 45 minutes out of Idaho Falls. Lots of sites, many are right by the river.

    There are a few bathrooms along the road but may be a bit of a hike from some sites.

    River is refreshing and nice to watch. Only complaint is the garbage left behind. We easily filled a garbage bag full of others trash when we first arrived. Remember to pack your garbage out to keep places like these pristine.

    Last minute camp site!

    We decided to camp on the way back up from Jackson and found this little gem! There were plenty of RVs camping in open areas right by the entrance but if you follow the dirt road, there’s more secluded spots within the trees. The road was a bit rocky, but our sedan made it through with some careful maneuvering.

    Nice, specially water sites

    Nice place for a free disperse. There is a 10$ disperse just up the street. 

    A few sites are by the water some not.

    We were there after memorial weekend and the was a bit of trash.

    Horrible place to camp

    Busy but still spots available.

    Drove in midday on the the Saturday of Memrial day weekend. It was very busy with lots of campers but there were still camp sites available near the vaulted toilet. Lovely camp site and surroundings. We will be back!

    A river meadow paradise close to West Entrance of Yellowstone

    Easy access able, numerous gravel spots in the forest or under open sky. Good fly fishing spot. Surrounded by mountains. We found a spacious and clean camping spot with a rock firepits.

    Lava Hiking Trailhead

    Great location for the night

    Nice location away from the highway to spend the night. Dirt road that is a little rough but accessible by low clearance car. Several pull outs to car camp.

    Perfect Peaceful Getaway

    I loved this place so much that I stayed 6 nights! I was only planning 2. I had the perfect spot right by the river. There were 2 campsites on either side of me but I never heard them. It was very quiet.

    There is a hotsprings about 5 miles away which was nice to get to on about day 3 of my stay.

    I'm a women traveling and camping by myself and felt very safe here.

    Cell reception was pretty good. I have T-Mobile.

    Peaceful & Scenic

    We followed the directions from a fellow dyrter and it was really easy. Pass the Heise Pools and Campgrounds and drive about a 1/2 mile and make a right at the Kelly Campground Sign. Just follow all the way to the end to find free spots along the Snake. A few vault toilets. We stayed near the cliff where we watched marmots and foxes along the rocks.

    Wolf Flats Recreation Area

    Large sites, free, near the river, tons of hiking, cool spot!

    Stayed here a few times over this summer, and have enjoyed it every time.

    Long dusty road to get here, then a bunch of free sites open up on both sides. The river-side sites tend to be a bit smaller from what I could see, but there are a lot of sites and both times I was there it wasn't crazy busy so options seem to be plenty.

    Bathrooms available. Decent cell reception on Verizon. Lots of firewood seems to be lying around to gather as well, a nice bonus. The surrounding area has a lot of trails and other outdoor things to get into. Not all that close to town for supply runs, but not so far away as to require a substantial amount of time to get what you need and get back to the campsite.

    For the low low price of nothing, this place is a damn good deal.

    Off-season, nice

    I spent the night here on a cross country road trip with just me and the dog. It was free which was awesome. It was deserted which was both great and unnerving for a single newbie camper. We woke up to snow and had a great dawn hike on the hike/bike trails. The campsites are well-loved/worn and some were under water/mud. Because it was both off-season/midweek, it didn't matter at all, as I could pick almost any site.

    Wolf Flats Recreation Area

    Beautiful!

    It's a very dusty and gravely road. But the sites are beautiful. We got one right on the river not far from vault toilets. We are in a spot that is 3 different sites, but could easily be a large group spot. Firepita. Easy access to river. It's moving a little fast early September. But it's refreshing in the heat. There is no garbage pickup, so there is a small amount of litter. Very quiet.

    Awesome Spot, Noisy Neighbors

    Driving down to Wolf Flats is beautiful. It is forested with a butte on one side, and the snake river on the other. The campsites are somewhat primitive, but we like that. The location was beautiful and we loved the spot. However, it is a free campsite. This is nice, but I think this tends to bring in rowdy neighbors. Everyone was nice enough, but a group showed up at 9pm blaring music for at least a coiple of hours. I can't say this happens every night, but it did with us. Other than the late night noise, this was an awesome spot.
