Wolf Flats Recreation Area

Driving down to Wolf Flats is beautiful. It is forested with a butte on one side, and the snake river on the other. The campsites are somewhat primitive, but we like that. The location was beautiful and we loved the spot. However, it is a free campsite. This is nice, but I think this tends to bring in rowdy neighbors. Everyone was nice enough, but a group showed up at 9pm blaring music for at least a coiple of hours. I can't say this happens every night, but it did with us. Other than the late night noise, this was an awesome spot.

Awesome Spot, Noisy Neighbors

It's a very dusty and gravely road. But the sites are beautiful. We got one right on the river not far from vault toilets. We are in a spot that is 3 different sites, but could easily be a large group spot. Firepita. Easy access to river. It's moving a little fast early September. But it's refreshing in the heat. There is no garbage pickup, so there is a small amount of litter. Very quiet.

Beautiful! 

I spent the night here on a cross country road trip with just me and the dog. It was free which was awesome. It was deserted which was both great and unnerving for a single newbie camper. We woke up to snow and had a great dawn hike on the hike/bike trails.
The campsites are well-loved/worn and some were under water/mud. Because it was both off-season/midweek, it didn't matter at all, as I could pick almost any site.

Off-season, nice

Stayed here a few times over this summer, and have enjoyed it every time.

Long dusty road to get here, then a bunch of free sites open up on both sides. The river-side sites tend to be a bit smaller from what I could see, but there are a lot of sites and both times I was there it wasn't crazy busy so options seem to be plenty.

Bathrooms available. Decent cell reception on Verizon. Lots of firewood seems to be lying around to gather as well, a nice bonus. The surrounding area has a lot of trails and other outdoor things to get into. Not all that close to town for supply runs, but not so far away as to require a substantial amount of time to get what you need and get back to the campsite.

For the low low price of nothing, this place is a damn good deal.

Large sites, free, near the river, tons of hiking, cool spot!

We followed the directions from a fellow dyrter and it was really easy. Pass the Heise Pools and Campgrounds and drive about a 1/2 mile and make a right at the Kelly Campground Sign. Just follow all the way to the end to find free spots along the Snake. A few vault toilets. We stayed near the cliff where we watched marmots and foxes along the rocks. 

Peaceful & Scenic

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. 

Perfect Peaceful Getaway

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!

Busy but still spots available.

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. 

Great spot with lots of sites

Easy access only a couple miles on bumpy but car safe gravel road. Great verizon cell phone signal in the river gulch area. ( you can see the tower). Not all of the sites are designated. So this means if you are in one of the things that looks like a site but isnt marked, that anyone can roll up and setup right next to you. So try to get a numbered spot. Some sites are on the river but dont have easy river access, there is a steep bank. The road along the sites is very very dusty and locals using the boat access fly down the road in trucks as fast as they can and will leave your stuff covered in dust. Traffic does down at night but starts up early, much more traffic than I would have thought. There is a busy pool style hot spring down the road but its filled with camp ground people. However the pizza place is okay. 

Great river views very dusty road

This was a nice little spot to car camp, located on a rock road. Got there just before sunset and was able to snag a cute little spot along the river. Fair warning, some spots have are easier to get into than others, so just keep that in mind during busy season, depending on your vehicle. There were less bugs than I expected, but temps were dropping and there was rain in the forecast. Some spots have metal fire rings, while others only have a rock ring. It was very peaceful listening to the river while thunder rumbled gently off in the distance. Beautiful area with some nice hikes nearby, but most of the trails were closed during my stay. 

Nice little stopover for a road trip

The area has dispersed camping along the road with no fire rings, these are along the river and very beautiful, however low clearance cars won’t be able to go down to many of the sites due to the dips. There were many other sites that were established for free that low clearance cars and non 4 wheele drive cars can make! There were fire rings and no plumbing bathrooms. I have mint mobile and had full internet access. The campsites were a good distance away from one another but still close enough to hear if they were loud. But it was a good site (first week in May).
