"Only one had a noisy generator;) our spot was right next to the roaring Palisades Creek, and a short walk to restrooms. Only 15 bucks a night;)"
"Adequately spaced sites, next to a creek. Well maintained, nice hiking trails. $12/night. Allows dogs and has good cell service. Picnic tables and fire pits."
"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."
"The site is close to the highway, but like other reviewers mentioned, all you really hear is the little river running right next to the campsite, which was super peaceful."
"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."
"Steep 3 miles up highway outside Jackson. Pull off on RIGHT small area with a beautiful waterfall fed pond !"
"The creek water sound is nice but the highway noise is loud so be aware, although the noise almost stops completely by 9/10pm. Clean camp area."
$105 / night
"Surrounded by trees perfect for hammocks. Great designated, flat tent pad. Walking distance to the lake. Not too close to the shops but still close enough to walk to."
"We were a minute walk away from the lake and a perfect view of the mountains. They had a great general store with decent prices for being the only store around."
"But Beaver Dick Park is the perfect place to camp if you are looking for a campground that feels safe (close to other campers) while still having your privacy (trees between most campsites)."
"It’s feels secluded but you are also near other sites so it still feels safe! It includes a playground and picnic areas that I’m sure would be great for families! I love this little park!"
"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."
$35 - $45 / night
"A beautiful 8 mile hike up the mountain finished with secluded sites with gorgeous views of the surrounding mountains."
"Death canyon trail head is the starting point for the hike. Permit is required. You can get one at the visitor center."
TravelerThe site is close to the highway, but like other reviewers mentioned, all you really hear is the little river running right next to the campsite, which was super peaceful. The river was very cold, but it felt great for a quick dip after a long day hiking in the Tetons. Since Idaho is currently under a burn ban, we couldn’t use the really nice fire pit, but the site did have a bear box which was great for peace of mind. Overall, a very solid camping spot
RangerEasy 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.
ScoutOur campsite here was perfect! Surrounded by trees perfect for hammocks. Great designated, flat tent pad. Walking distance to the lake. Not too close to the shops but still close enough to walk to.
ScoutCamping here is only for contestants or people stalling horses with them on special event days.. the number to ask is: +1 (307) 733-5289
Traveleron the way to the campground you will travel down dirt roads that are full of scenic views. when you get to the sites it is hard to choose if you want to be right next to the water where you can fish for trout or remain tucked in the woods. both are peaceful and leave society behind.
GuideSteep 3 miles up highway outside Jackson. Pull off on RIGHT small area with a beautiful waterfall fed pond !
Right next to highway, but not a lot of traffic or road noise, could change seasonally.
A local was here when we arrived and said there are a few more pull offs continuing up the highway
ScoutStayed here for 6 days had amazing time. We were a minute walk away from the lake and a perfect view of the mountains. They had a great general store with decent prices for being the only store around. And a really nice buffet restaurant with some really amazing servers. The area is in bear country and we did see a bear. And there were obvious signs that the bares were in the ariea alot. When we saw the dear was near us there was also 3 rangers following it keeping the campers safe.
TravelerThis campground has some absolutely beautiful scenery as you would expect in Grand Teton National Park. It has access to river rock beaches with swimming at Colter bay, restaurants and gift shops (which we did not have time to explore), so much hiking and exploring you can do and yellowstone is in driving distance.
They are first come first serve so arrive early to get your spot as they fill up fast, even on weekdays. We left on a Friday at 6am before they opened for check in (in August) and when we left people were already in line in their cars waiting to get spots.
We were in loop B with a small trailer. Moderately private sites with fire ring, bear proof food safe, picnic table. Bathroom and water in easy walking distance.
GuideGreat access to easy trails as well as a beautiful view at the marina. It is also close to the laundry and shower spot if that is needed. The visitor center is 5 minutes away too. This campsite is very centrally located and it made it easier to go to multiple trail options and did not take too long. Also has a beautiful spot for sunset!
Idaho offers a fantastic experience for horse camping enthusiasts, with a variety of campgrounds that cater to both equestrian needs and outdoor adventures.
