Curtis Canyon Campsites 15-16

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Managed by the US Forest Service within Teton National Forest, Curtis Canyon Campsites 15-16 sit at the upper end of a rough, unpaved road that takes roughly an hour to drive from the valley floor. The road is passable in a 2WD vehicle but has caused problems for some drivers, so high clearance helps. Sites 15 and 16 are on the edge of Verizon coverage, and the nearby cul-de-sac overlook, about 100 yards away, tends to get better signal. Expect wind and flies. The overlook also serves as an informal fallback if the designated sites are occupied, which happens, since lower sites sometimes hold tents that appear to have been in place for extended periods. Bring extra patience and a backup plan.

Great dispersed camping

It wasa bit of a challenge to get up there but not bad. Took about 1 hr but the view made it well worth the drive

Amazing view pain to get to

First and foremost it takes over an hour to get up here. The road is bad. I did it in a 2wd van but that doesnt mean everyone could without messing somwthing up so be careful. Second you have no idea if the sites will even be open. Its a massive gamble for a hazy but picturesque view of the grand Teton range. The only saving grace ia there is a big cul-de-sac overlook point up here you could last resort sleep at as I doubt anyone comes up here much to check on things. The lower sites are all reserved with cheap Walmart tents that have been here for who knows how long. Very disappointing and a waste of time if you cant get a spot. Also its windy and a million flies. Spots 15 and 15 are on the edge of verizon signal. The overlook has decent signal and is 100 yards or so from each site so its possible to get signal if you walk around. The lower sites do not have this luxury.
