  Lower Rock Creek FR305 Dispersed

  Dispersed camping on road to Cave Falls

  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.

  Phillips Bench Trailhead

  Great spot

  This has I think 12 spots. It’s a little rough in the beginning but not bad after that seen Subarus up there. Some wiled life it is grizzly country but one of my favorite spots by Wilson wy.

  Pine Creek Rd Dispersed

  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.

  Easy access

  There are extra pull offs by the river before the main area, perfect for car camping!

  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.

  Darby Canyon Dispersed

  Darby

  I have not personally spent the night camping here, but I do work for the Forest Service and wanted to give more information about the Darby Canyon dispersed camping sites. I also had a friend stay here for three nights last September and they had a good time. There are about 10~ sites (I will check and edit when I can) all along the canyon road, some are just right off road and others require a short drive down beaten paths to find the sites. All of these sites (except 2 or so very close to the road) are past the cattle guard. Depending on the time of year, many of these sites may not be accessible. Snow typically stays in the canyon until mid-June and starts collecting in October. The area may also be buggy at the height of the summer (July 2024 had been atrocious). There is limited cell service down most of the road and it completely disappears the closer to the Wind Cave trailhead you get. This area has a 14 day stay limit, meaning that once 14 days (13 nights) have been reached you must move at least 5 miles away to continue camping on forest service land and cannot return to this canyon to camp for 30 days. This is in a bear food storage enforced area and any bear attractants (food, pet food, soaps, sunscreen, etc.) are required to be stored properly in a locked hard sided vehicle or other bear resistant containers. Fires are allowed but must be put out dead (cold to the touch) before leaving a campsite. This canyon is regularly patrolled by Forest Service staff and ranger law enforcement officers, especially on the weekends, to keep up with the food storage and fires out dead orders. Hope this helps weary travelers that are deterred by low-rated reviews.

  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.

  Henry's Fork Rivercamp

  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.

  Teton Canyon Road Dispersed Camping

  Great views if you can deal with the 10 gazillion mosquitoes And bears

  Beautiful view from this one spot. This was about 3 Mi in. 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. I don't know how people can camp in tents in this type of area. Also, prepare for very cold nights. Last night, July 2nd, was damp and about 36° and it was an uncomfortable sleep!

  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.

  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!

  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.

  Pine Creek Pass Dispersed Camping

  Killer views

  I've stayed here three times and almost always because I'm cutting a day short and I know this place is nice. Threaded with dirt roads and my little private ptions for a camp. I always head to the top of the hill. Views of the three Tetons, Palisades, and Baldy plus sunsets and sunrises. There are two fir rings I know if, by but I haven't explored everywhere.

  Can here off road use sometimes in the distance, and the highway mildly during the day, but I never noticed it at night. can be windy as the top is exposed, but it's always died down at night for me.

  Stayed in late July, early October, and late June. The June stay I ran into a shepherd that walks his flock of 2000+ sheep on his way seasonally to the Palisades. Harmless, friendly guy, we mostly kept to ourselves besides the introduction. Seeing the sheep was actually cool, and they came and went without incident.

  I'll stay probably everytime I come through this way.

  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.

  Great place to stay for a night (BE CAUTIOUS OF BEARS)

  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.

  Be cautious of bears as we arrived and found large bear droppings.

  Great views!

  When you pull off into the gravel lot take the road in the left corner up to the top. There are a few pull outs along the way or a lot of space at the top. There are a few premade fire pits. There are a few other campers here but we’re spaced out enough. It’s quiet besides a few dirt bikes coming through.

  Easy to get to. Good access to the streams. We parked in front of a trailhead that allows motor bikes, horses and hikers. Fire rings along the sites and level land. Peaceful night sleep.

  Moose Creek Trailhead Dispersed Area

  For Hiking & Stargazing

  Never 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.
