$10 - $40 / night
"You can see the Tetons in the distance, and camp right along the waters edge. That said, there are a lot of mosquitoes so keep that bug spray close!"
"We were nervous driving from Westgate Yellowstone to this campground not knowing if any sites would be available as this is a first come first served campground."
"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

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.
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.
ScoutAtherton Creek Campground is a beautiful campground located in the Bridger-Teton National Forest in Wyoming. It is situated near the shores of the scenic Palisades Reservoir and offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains. The campground has a variety of amenities, including picnic tables, fire rings, and vault toilets. It is also a popular spot for fishing, hiking, and boating .
GuideYou can see the Tetons in the distance, and camp right along the waters edge. That said, there are a lot of mosquitoes so keep that bug spray close! We were there in August and the weather was fantastic! This is a primitive campground but you have easy access to water and can even fish right from your camp if you get a good spot. There is a water pump. We didn't see much wildlife here which was really surprising, but this is bear country so keep careful. You can kayak, canoe, or boat on the lake too!
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!
GuideWe were nervous driving from Westgate Yellowstone to this campground not knowing if any sites would be available as this is a first come first served campground. Got here on Thursday morning and there were 4 sites available. This is a great campsite for tents and camper vans, However we have a 31’ travel trailer with one slide-out. It fit in site 6 with no problems. There are no hook ups at this campground, you do have access to fresh water and non-plumbed toilets. They do allow generators between 8 and 10, however  we did not run ours very much because people come here to get away from the noise. Each site is $15 a night and comes with a table/bench and fire pit. They use the envelope system so make sure you put your tag on your campsite post to secure your location. The Creek allows swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, and fishing. As expected the water is not clear and can get a little choppy when the wind picks up. All-and-all this was the first time in our trip that we truly felt disconnected and could relax. It’s worth the extra drive! Take some time and drive further into the valley it is gorgeous. Also the camp-host is very helpful and friendly. P.S. If you need to dump your tanks the Virginia RV park in Jackson let’s you dump your tanks for $15.
