Best Campgrounds near Victor, ID

1,665 Reviews

Victor, Idaho serves as a gateway to diverse camping experiences on the western side of the Teton Mountains. Campers find options ranging from developed campgrounds with full amenities to primitive dispersed sites with mountain views. The Teton Valley Resort in Victor offers full hookups, cabins, and glamping accommodations from May through mid-October, while nearby Trail Creek Campground provides a more rustic experience with basic amenities. Pine Creek Road dispersed camping areas offer free primitive camping with spectacular views of the Tetons. Targhee National Forest lands surrounding Victor contain numerous camping options within a short drive of town.

Most campgrounds in the Victor area operate seasonally from May through September or early October due to mountain weather conditions. Rough roads leading to dispersed sites often require higher clearance vehicles, particularly in spring when snowmelt creates muddy conditions. As one camper noted, "Best view spots need decent clearance. Great view of some of the Tetons from the west side, overlooking the small town of Victor." Bear safety precautions are necessary throughout the region, with many established campgrounds providing bear boxes. Cell service varies significantly, with better coverage near town and limited to no service in more remote forest locations. Reservations are strongly recommended for developed campgrounds during summer months.

The western approach to the Tetons through Victor provides a quieter alternative to the busier Jackson Hole area. Campers frequently mention the peaceful settings and mountain views as highlights. According to one visitor, "Victor is a charming small town with several breweries and a locally sourced grocery market." Highway noise affects some campgrounds closer to main roads, while forest sites offer more seclusion. Fishing opportunities abound, with several campgrounds located near creeks and ponds. Many campers use Victor as a convenient base for exploring both Grand Teton National Park (across Teton Pass) and Yellowstone National Park (about 2 hours north), appreciating the less crowded atmosphere compared to staying within the national parks.

    antelope springs campsites

    Great spot

    This spot has a great view of the Tetons, spots are somewhat close, but on a nice loop. Continued spots from the earlier 1-8 that had a bathroom. No bathroom here. Can get muddy but easy to drive in. Fire rings at each spot, can only camp at designated spots.

    Toppings Lake Dispersed Camping

    Tranquil

    Bumpy road but as bad as the right turn off. The left is more manageable but be aware of mud.

    Toppings Lake in Bridger-Teton National Forest

    Peaceful

    Very little traffic through this area. Seen 5 vehicles total with two others at the first right turn off. Very bumpy steep entrance not suitable for sedans or lower vehicles. I’m a Chevy express and made it up easily but watched a sprinter van reverse out.

    Shadow Mountain Dispersed Camping

    Nice campground, rough road in

    We stayed here for a few nights in Oct and it rained for half the time we camped. The road in was bumpy when we got here but got worse as the rain came down. Most of the campsites that we could get to with our camper are right next to each other, but there are actually 20 something campsites. Most are in the mountain. Overall, the views are awesome and the location is good for sightseeing. It was about 20 minutes off the main highway and paved up until the camping entrance road.

    Grassy Lake Reservoir Dispersed Camping

    Grassy Lake Reservoir Dispersed Campsite

    This spot was STUNNING! We were in a Mercedes sprinter van and easily pulled into the spot. There was a fire ring overlooking the reservoir and sunset was beautiful. The roads to the site were gravel and easily drivable for most rigs. It took about 40 minutes (driving slower). Probably wouldn’t take a large camper because you do have to go down a steep hill with tree coverage to get there. There’s also Flagg ranch campground close by with gas and convenience store. Short drive to both the Tetons and Yellowstone!

    Ashton-Flagg Ranch Road

    Minimal Camp Sites, Not Recommended

    Camping is only allowed in areas marked with signs which will tell you the camp number and the number of sites in said camp. We only traveled as far as “Camp 5” which is a single site location. Each camp has a different number of sites, ranging from 1-4 sites per camp. There’s also a good distance between camps as well.

    Since we only went so far as camp 5, there might be a chance other camps ahead are more abundant with sites.

    Each camp has a bathroom and bear proof dumpsters. Gravel roads are pretty well maintained, minor pot holes and some rippling. Camps have beautiful views and the night sky glows.

    Personally, I don’t recommend this dispersed camping spot. It’s really hard to find a site thats open. We were lucky enough some kind folks allowed us to camp in their site. Although I don’t recommend asking folks to stay in their site either.

    If you’re desperate to find a camp, theres a good chance you wont find one here.

    Upper Teton View Dispersed

    Incredible views

    We stayed in a lot that had 2 marked spots but on Labor Day weekend that turned to 4. There was plenty of space for everyone and we shared the bear boxes. We could see the peak of the grand Teton through the trees from our spot. Quick drive into Moose to enter the park.

    Just after the steep, curved part of the road in, there is a lot with many spots where you have the best view of the Tetons. This was full when we arrived on Friday afternoon of Labor Day weekend so we found our spot further up the road (21A), and this lot was completely empty when we arrived. We had an awesome weekend staying here!!!

    Colter Bay Campground at Colter Bay Village - Grand Teton National Park

    Dump station

    We came to use the dump station after boondocking in the area. It is $10 to dump. When you arrive in colter bay turn right at the four way stop and then take an immediate left into the Rv Park. The office is on your left where you pay and you can also pay to fill propane. Make the loop through the park to turn around and turn left out of the RV park to go to the campground where the dump is. There is also potable water on the main road of the campground.

    Spread Creek Dispersed Campground

    Perfect for everyone!

    Spread Creek sounds like the perfect place for a quiet, back-to-nature escape—those creek sounds at night must be so calming! I always find that after a long day outdoors, simple and wholesome food hits the spot. It actually reminds me of when I stop by Sweetgreen after a hike—their fresh salads and bowls feel just as refreshing as time spent in nature. Both give that“clean and recharged” vibe. Definitely adding this campground to my list for the next Wyoming trip!
