Grey's River 10138L Dispersed
Wonderful Riverside Dispersed Campsite
Coordinates: 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.

Views & Brews
(October 5th, 2023) Camped in the backyard of a brewery! Got here after dark and it wasn’t totally clear where to find the camp spots, but after some exploring we got to the best site (43.1666131, -111.0380217). Great beer (and bathrooms) were just a quick walk away!

Dispersed camping along Cliff Creek in Bridger-Teton National Forest
very dispersed & off grid
pulled in pretty late at night but found a riverside spot within first 5 mins. the dirt road goes for quite some distance & is all around a gorgeous spot! there are free range cutie cows along the road and I even woke up to a small herd by the tent which absolutely made my morning. no service but fairly close to Jackson which has everything you could need to restock on. some pretty gnarly potholes but overall a really well maintained road.

Cliff falls trail
Camped at the end of the service road. There was an outhouse to use at the trailhead. Woke up to cows at the campsite! A horse trailer rolled up to take some people on a ride. The cliff falls trails is amazingly beautiful with changing landscape around every bend.

Fun Place to Camp
Beautiful place to camp. The water is shallow and surrounded by mountains. You have to wade through mud to get to the water (which is also muddy). You can also still hear the highway traffic, but not bad. We visited in August, so the fires made the area hazy. The up sides: lots of space and privacy. Camp sites are super far apart in comparison to others. Fire pits are available and drift wood is everywhere. Some spots have trees for hammocks. Pet friendly and lots of bird watching.

Dispersed camping beside a creek
We had a great night stay in this area. We parked next to the creek. Quiet. No phone signal. Really nice to hear the water from the creek. The road is not paved but cars can get by. It is about 3 miles off highway 26. Exact coordinate is (43.3293839, -110.7970236)

Fisherman Creek Road
Easy to find, plenty of spots
Long dirt road with lots of trails leading to nice spots. The road and most of the campsites are fit for large RVs. Most spots have shade and fire rings. I came in late July and there were lots of motorcycles and ATVs. It was quiet from 7 PM to 7 AM.

Quiet and convenient
Nice spots along the river. The road in isn't too bad. There were several other campers around but we managed to get a nice spot on the river. Amazing stars at night. Friendly neighbor stopped by with three delicious breakfast burritos in the morning.

Nice spot down by the Snake River
Number of dispersed sites along the waters edge. The spots are spread out nicely.
Leading up to the water is a bit muddy but overall great place. Not much shade.
Stefanie I.GuideReservoir Disperse Camping near Melvin Brewing
Good for a night
Directions are clear but seem sketch when following, but you will know when you arrive. Tight area with several campers adjacent to a resevoir and huge hills of gravel ate the entrance to the brewery.

Great camping an hour from Jenny Lake
We stayed here the night before our weekend trip to Jenny Lake in Grand Teton National Park. We were able to follow the directions easily from The Dyrt app, and road was easy to navigate with a minivan. We found a nice flat area where another car was parked. Site even had a fire pit. Lots of mosquitos, but common for this area. Great find!

Dispersed camping along Cliff Creek in Bridger-Teton National Forest
Good spot
A 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.

Great Spot, Close to Brewery
Easy to find spot by the reservoir and Melvin Brewing. Stayed on the upper part. Swarms of those flying ants when I stayed here. Mosquitos came out once the sun went down. Note the brewery is closed Mon/Tues, sad I missed out as I stayed Tuesday.

Awesome spot
Great spot overlooking the Snake River about 80 yards from great beer and food, live entertainment 2 days.

How to find location
This spot is a bit tricky to find on the map but on Google maps the road is called "SOUTH fall creek road”. Hopefully that is helpful!

Stunning views and lots of space
We just finished a 2 night stay and it was breathtaking. Lots of bears but with 2 campers, 2 dogs, kids, and a gennie kicking on periodically we didn't see any.
We parked right on the creek, biked the road/trail, and loved the solitude.
Teton County rangers popped by as we were leaving but that was about it.
Road is minimum maintenance so it's a tight fit but we got a class A with trailer and a 36ft bumper pull back past the creek crossing. I do not recommend crossing the creek and going right in anything that size unless you are a VERY skilled driver. Up until then, it's just a dirt road so, no biggie.

Easy access to brewery beuatiful views
Close to brewery, as far as I can tell if their is a flat spot and fire ring you can park for 5 days MAX! And the local LE is strict on that. Also be advised the tides change often many people have found themselves under water as told by the wait staff at Melvin.

BEST CAMP SPOT
We have tried many dispersed camping spots now and this is by far the best one we’ve visited. Easy access to lake swimming, free WiFi at the brewery and many spots to choose from. Nice July temperatures. Would definitely come back!

Unbelievable boondocking and brews!
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. The people were great, the brews were tasty and the sunset was stunning. 10/10

Easy camping
We chose this site for easy access outside of Jackson as we were arriving later on a weekend. The road was great (but people were driving pretty fast so kept the dogs close).
The sites were pretty spaced out with many along the creek. Some of the pull outs had multiple areas to camp within. There were some pullouts in the trees along the water that looked cool, but were taken. Lots of bugs!
Witek C.GuideFisherman Creek Road
Peaceful and quiet
Found 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!
Tee C.LegendFall Creek Road - Dispersed
Busy!
There were a ton of sites but they were taken so I had to keep driving further and further as the nice gravel road got rougher and rougher. Eventually found a nice spot, but it was very far away from the creek at that point. Still, pretty. No service.

Fisherman Creek Road
Quiet, hidden meadows
There were many available campsites and it’s not far from the main road at all. I had a bar of service via Verizon. Really had the place to ourselves. On the way out, there was a herd of cows blocking the road and some cowboys driving them. But it wasn’t a long roadblock.
fred F.ScoutGrey's River on Forest Road 10023
safety issue
The road from the Alpine was fine but then got worse when trying to turn left onto Forest Rd 10023. The scenery is beautiful but someone is shooting at the river. Stayed one night on the grass between forest rd 10138/10023 for safety reasons.
