Beautiful! 4x4 required!

This place was great! We slid down the muddy road into our campsite, and almost right over the edge!

The next morning we spent two hours getting our truck back up (barely) in the middle of a thunderstorm adding more mud. It rains all the time out here

If I had a 4x4 I’d be back, but otherwise avoid this one.

Two Nights in Tetons

Arrived late with our 28’ travel trailer, they had our name on the late check in list with instructions our site, 58 was pretty level front to back a little off side to side. Most sites look level except a few look really pitched front to back. Site 83 or 85. Restrooms had water. No showers. Old but clean. We didn’t have any hookups and didn’t fill with water on our way in but managed to dump in 5 gallons of water from the potable water at the restroom to get by. Made a giant breakfast while it rained and I’m sure every bear within 20 miles was drooling. We’re going to go find moose today and get up to the grand view point. Weather is hovering in 30-50 range.

View is amazing!

We stayed in a primitive site about 3 miles past the end of the paved road. There was no bathroom or water, only a fire pit and picnic table. This is free camping between two fee campgrounds. The view is AMAZING! The sunset was beautiful, and the sound of the river at night was nice. we saw a mamma moose with her calf on our drive in.
