Description

The Forest Service uses the term "Dispersed Camping" to mean that visitors to the Forest are camping outside of a developed campground facility. This means that visitors are simply finding a place in the forest where they can drive to in order to camp for free where no development other than a road exists.

Can’t believe it’s free

Free camping with views like this is hard to beat. I have Verizon and service was great. Very busy though

Beautiful Climb

Great spot with amazing views! The road is rough (sandy, potholes, etc) but manageable. There are quite a few turnouts with marked spots. Got here at 3PM and this whole spot with 3 spaces was empty but all the spots prior (about 10) were full. Absolutely gorgeous view of the Tetons. Spots weren’t super flat, and the flies are no joke.

Beautiful view of the Tetons

We tried shadow mountain but as the reviews said it was busy. We went up the forest service road and snagged a spot as someone was pulling out.

VERY buggy, but the view is still gorgeous

This is a great campsite within minutes of Grand Teton National Park, and not too far from Yellowstone! But man the flies are horrible, you’d think there was a whole pile of dead meat everywhere you walk. We could sit in our tent and hear at least 20 flies all buzzing around.

Beautiful view and secluded

We found this spot after a day in the Tetons hiking and it was perfect! Has 3 sites in the loop and though they’re not very private, our neighbors were friendly :). View was beautiful of the Tetons throughout the night and morning. Minimal bugs, some annoying flies.
