Wonderful place to stay if you can snag a spot and are visiting the Tetons. There are a range of sites from small for tents to bigger for RVs. Location is not exact, but if you go down Shadow Mtn road you will see the signs. Great view of the mountains! 

Great spot

Mostly paved road and about 1-2 miles on first road that r good. Spacious sites with fire pits. There is a bathroom. First come first serve but was fairly easy to find a spot 

Amazing views of the Tetons 

We just happened to get lucky on a Saturday morning to find this spot open. Absolutely beautiful! 

Spot #5

10/10 will come back! Very clean with some of the best views around! I camped in my car and could see the Tetons from my window. The hosts visited twice to see if I needed anything.  Also had great cell service. 

Fantastic Views

Bit of a drive off the main roads but worth it so far. Snow was not too bad except for in the actual sites themselves, as to be expected. Very low-key. 

Very secluded

We felt super safe, the host from USFS came by and told us about bears in the area the night before but that we shouldn't worry. There are several loops for tent/van only and vault toilets and bear boxes. Great views of the Tetons and we even saw a moose in the horizon in the morning! We came around 5pm and secured a spot.

Has campground host and toilets

The Grand Tetons really popped off. This dispersed site had an incredible view of them! The road wasn't too rough, minivan friendly. There are fire rings at each spot I saw, and a bear storage food lockbox not too far. The snow was light and beautiful. Didn't see much wildlife, except for a beautiful little fox towards sunset. Would recommend this place for Grand Teton admirers. 

  

I chose a spot farther towards the end of the road and didn't see/hear any of the other campers that were a few spaces away. Nice and secluded but open enough to feel safe and peaceful.

Open, secluded, and breathtaking view!

I was lucky enough to snap an empty spot for my 30th birthday, with a beautiful view of the Tetons! Ron, the “camp ambassador” was so funny and a great host, my dog loved playing with his dog Meeka too. He kept the pit toilets SUPER well maintained and smelling great. Only problem is it gets really busy so spots are hard to come by!

Stunning Teton View

This campsite is incredible! Toilets were clean and always stocked on toilet paper. The view of the mountains was amazing! We arrived on a Thursday night around 5pm and got the last spot. The road is bumpy, but it was doable in our car. 

Perfect Find 

This was an absolute gem of a find! Designated spots with fire rings, pit toilets, and bear boxes. Ron, the campsite ambassador was awesome! He came by every day to check on all his campers. The spot is hopping—so come early. The views are amazing!

Amazing Spot!

I strongly recommend this site, but can be packed in the summer. 
I stayed here Dec 20th-21st. Because of season, there was a foot of snow at least. We had to dig out snow at the beginning because a snow plow pushed about 2 feet high. 
Then it was a mile back to the area, make sure you have really good tires and 4WD or chains. 
We then used our 4-runner to compact the snow at the site and dug the rest out with snow shovels. 
It was about 4°F/20°C that night. 
But nobody was there and the view was beautiful.


Beautiful view and calm

Our campsite is looking straight on at the Tetons. It is 52 degrees at 3:30. 

Shadow Mountain Dispersed Camping

It may be seasonal but I arrived about 2.4 miles from the coordinates nd the road was blocked with a not camping sign.
I did take advantage of the gorgeous view before leaving.

Road Closed 

You have a pretty stellar view of the Tetons from this site. It’s plenty big so unless it’s peak season you should be able to get a spot. They even have a bathroom! 

Views 

Honestly first dispersed campsite I’ve been too and it wasn’t bad. In google maps the road you turn in is shadow mountain rd. that was the most difficult part getting here as I had no service but once you get to the campsite I was able to text and call. The road is sketchy for a moment then it levels out. (I made it with my Nissan Sentra). Campsite is busy. A lot of people driving up but it was mostly quiet. bear warnings everywhere but I didn’t see any. Bathrooms were a plus! Nothing fancy just a hole in the ground. Over all a nice little spot with a good view of the mountains. 

It was a nice spot

Let’s start off by saying that the ride to get to these spots is very bumpy. Originally we entered from the north end, I do not recommend that way due to the rough road. After settling in and going to explore the park, entering from the south by Mormon row was wayyyyy better.

Very simple camping. They have fire rings, and shared food lockers. Only 7 spots in this loop. 2 of them isolated and the rest are close together. 

No amenities, pack out. Very happy to see there’s no trash laying around! 

Some 3G service with T-Mobile. Starlink was perfect out here. 

Great view

Well kept dispersed camping spot. Only 8 spots in the circle so you have to get here early. They have two clean vault toilets as well. The afternoon rain does create mud throughout your campsite and the bottom of your tent will be wet and muddy. The wind also picks up the dry dirt and makes the inside of your tent quite sandy even with the rain fly on. 

Also accessible by sedan or low clearance vehicle; however, you can’t go up the mountain to the other shadow mountain spots with a sedan 

Has several spots at a few locations off the roads. Road is rock (small car safe) but pulling into camp sites use caution potholes are big but easy maneuvered. Would have got five if water. 

Good place

Access was super easy, any vehicle can make it to this campground. We intended to camp further up Shadow Mountain but the road was closed, this camp was conveniently right there so we parked and stayed overnight. Woke up to a layer of snow! we stayed here 12/16 and saw 12 moose on our drive back to town.
