6. Teton Corners Private River Preserve on the Teton River west of Rexburg, ID
Be the first to review!Rexburg, Idaho•3 Photos•3 SavesTeton Corners has been a favorite fishing and stayover spot for generations, and we felt we should step up and adopt it since we didn't want to see it developed, ripped apart or closed off. Know that by staying here, you are helping preserve this small piece of natural beauty in Idaho. It may not be the biggest preserve, but you have to start somewhere. Come stay a night!
Learn more about this land:
Come to our riverside getaway at Teton Corners. This 3 acre peninsula into the Teton River provides amazing trout fishing right from your tent door (licenses issued just 1 mile down the road). This gorgeous nature area is minutes from town, with easy access to HWY20 and HWY33. Deer, moose, bald eagles and osprey frequent the area year round, as well as beaver, waterfowl and night owls. RV dumps right down the road, as well as a 27 hole golf course, if that's your thing. Or just relax, dip your feet in the Teton River and listen to the water pass by.
Note: River levels fluctuate over the season. We've tried to take pictures of all water seasons for reference.

8. Thaidaho Victor
Victor, Idaho1 Review•8 Photos•3 SavesThaidaho Victor is one single 'RESERVATION ONLY' car/truck/bicycle/motorcycle glamping spot for non-smokers. No RV's or trailers are allowed, and we have no dump or hookup. This glamping spot is intended for one or two people who are car/truck/moto/bicycle camping.
There is a small dry sleeping cabin with one full size bed (for one or two people), a dorm-sized refrigerator, coffee maker, hair dryer, fan and space heater. Drinking water and towels are provided. There is an outdoor hot-water shower & flush toilet, a fire pit, picnic table, propane grill and parking for one vehicle or two bikes. There is one separate bicycle camping spot, so at times the outdoor shower & toilet will be shared with one or two other people. The site is pretty, private and has unobstructed views of the Big Hole Mountains, yet is located next to the Town of Victor with it's many restaurants, bars and stores.
Teton Valley is just 25 miles from Jackson Hole, Wyoming and Grand Teton National Park, and just 1.5 hours from Yellowstone National Park. Just 12 miles away is Grand Targhee Resort, with their biking, trails and music festivals in the summer.

Kelly Island Campground
Closed for the Season!
We were excited to find this CG on Dyrt and that it wasn’t difficult to find (in spite of a reviewer’s commenting); but when we arrived, the gate was pad-locked. (Sign indicated open hours; but not that it would be closed for the season.)
Fortunately, we went .5 mile further and found a small dry camping site— maybe 4-6 vehicles could be accommodated. Sign there indicated that there was a 5-day limit for camping. A couple of other vehicles came in; but none chose to join us for the night. Camping area is right by the gravel road and there was traffic coming & going late into the evening & early in the morning; but regardless it was a great site w/ privacy from the road.

Warm Slough
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

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.

No Access
This place is in the middle of nowhere with no cell service. I drove all the way out here only to find the gate to someone’s ranch with a no trespassing sign. Super frustrating.

Indian Creek
Easy Access With Many Sites
The farm road that leads into this area was once paved and is now covered in gravel with a few ruts here and there but easily avoidable. Sites all the way down to the river edge many with rock fire rings. We were all by ourselves about halfway down - quiet and beautiful!

South Tourist Park Campground
Open city bear bone camp site next to Snake River
Nice little gem of a bare bones city camp site next to Snake River. No hook ups. There is a dump site, fresh water and toilets. There is a small boat launch. A few back in sites but mostly just pull next to the side sites with picknick table and fire pit. 16 campsites. Some tent campers. No reservations, just first come first serve. No wifi. AT&T was LTE with 2 and sometimes 3 bars. Train tracks nearby with loud train noise twice during the night. Because it is a city open park there are people occasionally driving through. No security but there is a camp host. As of Sept 2024 the price is$18 per night.

Nice spot rough roads
Nice spot but potentially a flood zone. Vault toilets at entrance. Dispersed camp but sites with fire pits. No benches.

Easy access to Jackson
Plenty of spots, semi secluded spots. Sunday morning there was a church service and could hear the music perfectly from a good distance away. The lake is beautiful and peaceful. Jackson was about 45 min drive

Fabulous little park
This park has very clean bathrooms, great showers, and grass so thick you don’t need to wear shoes! Great setting, helpful staff and out in an area of dark skies. Electricity went out at one point our first night here but we have solar panels so we’re ok.

McTucker Ponds Park
Nice spot, lots of spots, most on the pondfront
Nice little area with plenty of random spots. There is an outhouse at the entrance - probably a 10-20 minute walk from any site, but nice to have. There were some dumpsters when I was there for garbage too which was nice.
Water in the ponds looked a bit scummy, too bad - would be nice for a swim otherwise! Good spot to spend a night while passing through.

amazing spot
I brought my dog here and he swam and it was great. beautiful weather and tons of space. There’s some different turn offs of that main road for the beach. 100% come again

Nice spot, not for everyone
Perfect for a Friday night last minute spot! Lots of dirt bikes and generators. Also the bend in the road seems to have a lot of traffic.
Scenic with a nice spot to launch watercraft.

Close to town
Location great close to town for shopping and stay the night if you’re heading to the Tetons. Does not have any access to snake river. The showers were hot. Has a cute little snack and gift shop. We got a spot in the shade.

Followed the reviews before us and traveled up the road on the left from the bottom gravel lot. Made our way up to an awesome point at the top of the hill. Take a couple lefts and you’ll find it!

Free camping outside Teton Range
Just as others said - be very careful following GPS for this site.
I took 5000w instead of 6000w and was in for the ride of my life. The roads were a mangled mess and I thought we were going to get stuck or badly damage our Rav4.
Once you get here - it’s very nice. Lots of places to park. Not busy but you likely won’t be alone.

Snake River RV Park & Campground
Slightly Below Average and Very Dusty
This place is about half full-time residents in the back and the rest short term overnighters. Everything is gravel and dirt. This place is very dusty and it's easy to see no gravel has been laid down for years. It rained the first night I was there, and the roads ( and my site) were a muddy mess. I had the windows open the next day and within an hour, my counters were covered with a fine layer of dust from the Yahoo's driving by at 30 miles an hour. The full-time portion of the park is very trashy. You can tell no maintenance has been done on this place for years. But the prices are reasonable. I only stayed two nights, and it was okay for a stopover.

Beaver Dick Park Campground
Nice campsite mostly used as a day use family area
Decent quiet camp sites while we were visiting. Many day use folks visiting for fishing, kids playground or luncheon cookouts. Many of the hiking trails are currently flooded due to high water

Beaver Dick Park Campground
Great sites, disk golf! But trash?
Disk golf! Excellent short course. Water access from a ramp about 400' from camping. One large group site. Some trails (most were underwater during our visit). Small kids playground. Only negative was all camp trash was overflowing in each can even though park was only 20% filled... maybe trash collections missed a week

The Park At Swan Valley
Peacful spot with a great vibe
**Note: my stay was in 2022, new to this app and wanted to give some love to places I've been and deserve it**
Stayed here at the end of a long road trip through Montana, Yellowstone, Jackson, and Idaho. After a long day of seeing sights in GTNP and Jackson, it was great to find a nice, quite, camp spot that was reserved and had basic amenities rather than trying to find dispersed camping somewhere.
It was early season and still a bit chilly at night, and while I was totally comfortable in my roof top tent, the owner was kind and concerned, and invited me to hang out and/or even sleep in the on-site trailer home if I got too cold. Such a kind offer.
Dolly L.TravelerBig Eddy/Rainey Campground
Outstanding place
We followed the directions on a review as Google was taking us the wrong way, so be aware of this. We parked at sunset and saw the sky turn all beautiful colors around the tetons, listening to the river babble, while the coyotes howled to each other. There were other people there but most were very respectful. Some kids rolled in about midnight, made a lot of ruckus and partied till dawn, bit once we knew what was going on, it didn't bother us. Reminiscant of our youth. 😉 Very close to town and some awesome mountain biking at Horseshoe Canyon. We loved it and plan on returning.
We did return, there were only 3 other campers here. Never heard any of them. Adding more pictures of the sunrise.

Very Lovely site for Tetons
Lots of sites, plenty of walk-ins, 2024 hosts are AWESOME ♥️ Moose in the campground
A pretty, shady place to stay. I think the hosts really put it over the edge for me, they brought my husband and I home-made chocolate chip cookies, thanks guys ♥️
Pros Close to Tetons Decently affordable (I think $17?) Large campground for decent privacy Plenty of free firewood to collect Maybe the cleanest pit toilets ever Nice bear boxes Moose wander through in the evenings Little town 10 mins away Wonderful 2024 hosts
Cons Pretty buggy :( Very steep and difficult drive through the Teton pass (be careful<3) Not the most private sites if full
Not a bad place to stay to explore the Teton mountains :)

Jefferson County Lake
Decent park w/ great lake
Easy online reservations, level concrete pads with electricity and water. Clean pit toilets. Great, clear lake. For our preferences, it had too much interstate road noise and too many people. To be fair, though, we stayed over on a beautiful Saturday, and the park seems to be popular with the locals.

Big Eddy Dispersed Camping
Near the river
Dispersed campgrounds near the river. It seems that is managed during the summer season, but there was no one to check anything in May and plenty of places with fire pits. The road to access is okay from the north, but coming from the south is difficult if you use Google Maps (do not follow the instructions or you will find difficult roads). There are toilets available. Suitable for any type of RVs and trailers.

Maybe its just closed because its end of winter..

Good for the price($0)
As many free sites are it hasn’t been maintained or respected by those who use it. There’s trash all over and broken glass in the pit toilet. But there’s some picnic tables and fire pits and plenty of space.

Indian Creek
Beautiful place to camp
We stayed for 7 days. We stayed in the parking lot area as the campground was blocked by the snow mountains.
There was no verizon signal at all where we stayed, but starlink worked well.
Plenty of snowmobiles coming everyday along with locals walking their dogs
