"With a wood-burning stove, we stayed nice and toasty. There were plenty of cots to move close to the wood-burning stove for a cozy night sleep."
"Dispersed camping with space for very large groups. Lots of dirt bike/quad trails. Beautiful views. Wish we could have stayed longer."
"They also blocked the road that goes pass the site with their truck so we weren’t able to drive any further to see if there was anywhere else in the area, but upon looking at satellite view of the coordinates"
"As I was driving over Salt River Pass I noticed a small dirt road on the side of the highway."
"Coordinates: 42.78898,-110.68746. Free. Camped here Sept 17, 2024. One of several dispersed campsites along Greys River Road (Forest Road 10138)."
"Our first time boondocking in a camper van and we may be spoiled for life! Had a spot right on the water, with an brewery 100 yards away."
"Lots of space available for dispersed camping . Beautiful views and great location in town but still away from all road noise. ATT and Verizon service good ."
"Easy to get to launch quickly and close proximity to Alpine WY where you can pick up supplies. There are no amenities at the campground."

"If this is Grey’s River Dispersed Camping then this is where we were trying to stay. Some free spots along river, kind of on long bumpy gravel road. Didn’t end up staying."
"However there is better dispersed camping along this road."
GuideIt’s a pretty spot, but we were unfortunately unable to stay here because a couple was already there and they asked us to leave because they wanted the spot to themselves - which we understood.
They also blocked the road that goes pass the site with their truck so we weren’t able to drive any further to see if there was anywhere else in the area, but upon looking at satellite view of the coordinates, the road seems to go on a bit further so if you have the chance to drive through there may be more potential sites.
The road is a bit rough and you definitely need a high clearance vehicle to drive through.
Tons of wildflowers and trees everywhere. A very private spot right off the highway.
We ended up staying at Allred Flat campground just a mile or so up there road. It’s $10 a night - $5 if you have a pass - and in my opinion was even prettier than this site.
LegendCoordinates: 42.78898,-110.68746. Free. Camped here Sept 17, 2024. One of several dispersed campsites along Greys River Road (Forest Road 10138). Large dispersed site, set back from forest road; no concerns with dust coming into the site from passing vehicles. Should comfortably accommodate 3 or 4 rigs. Clean rock fire ring. Mostly level, dirt surface. Easy access from forest road. Open site surrounded by trees. Next to Grey's River; easy access for bank fishing. There is a set of trees that may accommodate hammock camping. Tent camping also possible. Area can get muddy after rain. Solar recharging possible in middle of afternoon. No T-Mobile nor AT&T cell service. Loved this spot.
TravelerOur first time boondocking in a camper van and we may be spoiled for life! Had a spot right on the water, with an brewery 100 yards away. The people were great, the brews were tasty and the sunset was stunning. 10/10
GuideHi Campers!
We stopped in this part of the National Forest on our way to Yellowstone by way of Jackson Hole, WY. The access is off of HWY 191. You turn West onto Cliff Creek Rd/Forest Rd 30530 and follow Cliff Creek to many dispersed coming sites.
This is open range so be aware that there are cattle grazing. Plus, it is of course bear country...so know how to stay safe!
We stayed here one night so that we could get on the road again in the morning. We found a nice secluded site. It was pretty close to the creek (there are closer sites but they were taken already) and you could easily walk there to get into some fly fishing.
Our photos are from driving and getting close to the camping area. When we got there it was pretty close to getting dark (just one photo from the site) and we left really early to get on the road.
We'll stop here again if we're in the area! Can't beat free dispersed camping!
GuideLong road that has about 20 sites or more. Most are near the river. Some are very large and flat. We saw quite a few 5th wheelers parked in the first few miles where the road is flat and suitable for a sedan. Sites are very far apart, and unmarked but easy to find. The farther you drive in, the road gets worse which either filters out folks or forces you to turn around depending on what you are driving. Free. No facilities.
GuideI showed up around 11 pm on a Thursday and found an open spot not too far in. Road, as far as I went, was an easy dirt road. I just set up shop real quick and went to sleep with the sound of the creek running. Woke up to the birds. There were a few spots tucked away it looked like, but the first spot I found (maybe 4-5 spots in?) I took. Not sure what's further back, but I'm sure it's great! There were a few big groups set up, looks like a fun place near Jackson to have as base camp. I didn't have any cell service. No amenities as I could tell, but not too far from civilization, and it's so beautiful.
GuideFound a large spot about a mile up the road, on the left side. The road was pretty good, even for our overloaded car and rented trailer. The spot was large enough to turn around and easily maneuver the trailer. We got there on a Thursday evening at about 8pm. Nobody passed our campsite that whole evening, aside from a deer. The only downside was the crazy amount of mosquitoes. Bring bug spray!
ScoutA little ways out of town, making it quieter. Big open space for RVs and big trailers. Road is a bit rough but just go slow. Do not need 4x4 or high clearance. Some spots are still muddy considering that the snow is still melting off. I parked my crosstrek in a corner near a creek and didn’t see or hear anyone.
TravelerGreat spot on forest service road. Able to park right next to the creek. Lots of spots on the road with fire rings. Free dispersed camping with a great view of the mountains. Hiked to the top of the mountain on the left side coming in. Great views of the valley from the top. Our spot was spot on level, no need to unhook the TT from the truck.
