Beautiful but noisy traffic
The camp host is awesome and keeps the vault toilets and camp super clean. The camp itself is lovely. The traffic noise right on the road is very loud. Great for early risers.
$17 per site still a great deal!
This was our basecamp for Grand Teton National Park. We lucked into a site that someone had cancelled their reservation. I guess reservations are all online these days, but we met the awesome camp host, Don, who helped us get our site (#10) right on the creek! There are 10 sites & a "meadow" with a vault toilet, water pumps, fire ring & grill, bear box & a dumpster. It is right off the road, so you can hear road noise, but not bad. Lots of pine trees make the sites feel private.
Really Great For The Price
We pulled up and luckily got a spot last-minute in “The Meadow” haha. For the price ($12) you really can’t complain about anything. I personally liked being next to the highway to discourage wildlife coming near our campsite. Would recommend!!!
