**CAUTION STAFF STEALS FROM CAMPS*** Dropped off my cooler at my campground in a bear box. Came back from hike and my cooler packed with food for week was stolen out of bear box. Asked nearby campers who witnessed staff taking cooler. Contacted security/ staff and was brushed off. Got local police involved and the next day cooler was returned empty. Don’t make the same mistake we did. Always lock your stuff up at this campsite and do not trust the staff/ security. Thank you colter bay staff for ruining our trip.

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.

Very well maintained campground. Stayed here for a few nights in mid-Sept 2024; no fees - end of summer season. Summer time fee is $17. Mix of pull-thru and back-in sites. Some sites are in the open; others are set back into thick forest. Campground accommodates tent campers, hammock campers, van campers, car campers, truck campers. One camper managed get his big travel trailer into a campsite. Large sites, good spacing between them. Clean vault toilets in different parts of the campground. Water was still turned on during our stay. Usually has a host, but not during my stay. Campsites are level on a gravel surface with a newish table, metal fire ring and a tent pad. Area is popular with hikers. Good trails from the campground. No T-Mobile nor AT&T cell service. The forest road accessing the campground is in good shape; access is from the Idaho side of the Tetons. Stayed in site #2 with a campervan; pull-thru site with a tent pad. A lush forest was directly behind this site. Loved camping here. Look forward to returning.

Stayed here on Sept 18, 2024. Paid $10 with senior pass. Pretty campground. Lots of pine trees. Some pull-throughs and some back-ins. Gravel campground road; may be tight in places for big rigs. Sites are dirt surface. Some leveling required. Campground accommodates tents, car camping, vans and RVs. Don't recommend large towables. Hammock camping possible. More than one vault toilet; reasonably clean and stocked. Hand water pumps, but shut off. Trash dumpsters, but locked. Some sites have easy access to the Snake River for fishing. Each site has a table, bear box, metal fire ring, and grill. Highway noise, loud at times. $20 is too high for a national forest campground fee when the water is shut off and the trash dumpsters are locked. Site 9 is large but received some odor from the nearby vault toilet. Campground host was friendly. This campground is probably a destination campground for fly fishing on the Snake River; otherwise, it's just okay for an overnight stay.

$10 ($5 with pass). Visited on Sept 19, 2024. Did not camp here; just passing through after dispersed camping down the road. Included some photos of the campground for those considering this campground in the future. It looks okay; nothing special. Easy access to Greys River for bank fishing. Vault toilet, well water pump and trash service. Sites looked small at first glance; looks unmaintained, but it's going into the winter season when I visited. Sites include a picnic table and metal fire ring.

So there’s a few good spots. there’s a shooting range near by so you’ll hear gun shots but it’s all very safe. I usually camp down here every time I’m in town

Visited in mid-September 2024. $10 ($5 with senior pass). Did not camp here; just checking it out. Included some photos in this revciew. Except for one towable camper, I was surprised that no one else was camping here, especially considering it was hunting season. The campground was set back in the trees off of Greys River Road. Lots of trees here; lots of shade. Nice looking campground. Good size sites; appear to be level. Picnic table and fire ring included. Not much privacy between sites, but separation between sites was good. Two clean vault toilets. Hand well water pump. Trash service. No other amenities. No hook-ups. Campground appears to be well maintained. I would consider camping here in the future.

We’re on a month-long RV trip across CA, NV, WY, MT, WA, OR, & so far, this was our favorite stop by far!! The grounds are superb with on-site restaurant & laundry (free laundry — a first!). The owners are great, very attentive. AND we woke up to see a moose up close & personal! Also very close to Grand Tetons. All around an amazing experience. We loved it so much we’re trying to plan a family trip around staying here again.

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

Great views of Tetons. Leaves in full fall mode. Rode bike 12 miles on paved trails to Jackson. My site is electric only. Other loops allow generators.

Found on Google Maps
Free dispersed camping in allowed areas.
There are a few fire rings and a pit toilet.
There were quite a few campers but was actually quiet.
Beautiful sunset over the Tetons.

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 :-)

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.
GuideOutstanding little USFS campground with convenient trail access for Jedediah Smith Wilderness, Alaska Basin, and Grand Teton National Park. Vault Toilets are recently updated, the water is cold and clear, the creek is beautiful, and in my 3x staying the hosts have always been extremely helpful and friendly. The road back in is long and all gravel, but easy to handle in any vehicle if you keep it a reasonable speed. There is no cell service of any sort except in random, almost impossible to find again spots. Plenty of wildlife in the area- always be bear aware!
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.

Way to expensive site for what you get… but there isnt much around to stay…

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!

This review is for the basic campground at colter bay in grand Tetons. Not the RV park which is very dense parking RV to RV. Not the cabins. Just a plain national park campground. Each site has tent pad, table, and fire ring. Flush toilets and sinks in building within each campground loop. Water spigot near rest room. Depending on site, it may be 500 feet to restrooms (like site C60). Sites are well screened from adjacent sites with dense trees and bushes. Star watching is limited due to trees. Every site was full mid week mid September. Very friendly campers from all across US, Canada, and Europe. It is a bear area black and grizzly. Bear spray recommended on hikes. Great wildlife viewing on local trails, or near Jackson lake dam and various sites around the park. Moose, bears, elk, beavers, raptors,… Easy to spend 3-4 days enjoying the park and viewing wildlife Note this site turns into a big puddle after a solid day of rain. Tent pad raised with gravel and logs was above water. Many sites likely have similar issue. But not all. Very limited T-Mobile if any.

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.

Colter Bay Tent Village sounds like an amazing spot, especially with the incredible views and outdoor activities. It reminds me of how much I enjoy exploring new trails in Beach Buggy when I’m looking for some downtime from racing.
Scout"Colter Bay Tent Village offers a fantastic outdoor experience with beautiful views and comfortable accommodations. It’s a perfect spot for nature lovers who want to disconnect and relax. After a long day of exploring, I unwind by playing Car Parking Multiplayer Mod APK, which provides a fun, immersive driving experience right from my phone, even in the middle of nature! Highly recommended for some downtime."

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.

It's an hour drive to Jackson. Around 1 1/2hrs to GTNP and 2+hrs to YNP. Cabin needs a few minor details to be better. Full length mirror, towel racks, instructions on how things work like washer/dryer combo and propane stove.
