  Jackson Hole/Snake River Park KOA

  Quiet campground

  Very quiet campground but tent sites are very close together. Tent sites can also get very muddy if it rains because there is very little grass at the sites.

  Jackson Hole/Snake River Park KOA

  Not motorcycle friendly

  All of the tent sites are not “accessible” by motorcycle, meaning they won’t allow you to try. We were on adventure bikes and were forced to camp in a small group site that I can only describe as a dirt corral. The prices were also ridiculous, however they had free showers and we were tired. Tent sites were $50-$65 and the rustic cabins started at $140. The tent sites are along the river, so there is deep sand and gravel. I would not stay again.

  Greys River Cove RV Park

  Don’t tent camp here

  Don’t tent camp here. The tent area is about 20 yards from an extremely loud bar. People are outside it yelling til after 2am. Awful.

  Targhee National Forest Calamity Campground

  Great Spot

  The camp spots are well maintained and its easy to get to. The road in is very winding but is completely paved now.

  Seems like it’s more established for trailer camping but we did tent camping and it was great. I would camp here again.

  Snake River Cabins & RV Village

  Beautiful tent sites along the river

  I loved the gorgeous river setting, and the fact that the tent sites seemed to be situated in prime spots along the river and creek. Great atmosphere with lots of kids running around. I had a few special requests and staff were extremely accommodating.

  Jackson Hole/Snake River Park KOA

  Horrible

  I would give this place no stars if I could! All of the spaces are crammed so tight. there is no room for anything. You would open your door into another camper! Do not camp at the tent sites if you have a tent bigger than a one person. Also be prepared to have trouble getting in and out if you don’t have a 4-wheel drive vehicle. Extremely dangerous road down to the tent sites. You can’t see cars that are coming your way and it’s barely wide enough for one car. This place is also the most outrageous campground I have ever stayed at. $65 bucks for nothing. Not even a site big enough for my tent and car. Mold all over the bathrooms. And extremely rude management. They have no idea what customer service is and do not care about you or your safety. Spend the money and stay somewhere else or make the drive and stay in one of the parks. This place is awful and noisy.

  Indian Creek

  Amazing spot

  Amazing view, and great fishing access. Many places along the reservoir. Close to the road so traffic can be loud. Free to stay on most of the campsites along the reservoir aside from the boat ramp site. Beach front available but be careful of tides. My tent site was a max stay of 3 to 5 nights.

  Jackson Hole/Snake River Park KOA

  Beautiful Location

  We pulled in for one night of tent camping, saw the tent area and decided to rent a cabin! We felt it was a bit to far from rest of sites and were fairly new to camping in the area so we opted for the safer site. Cabin was nice, nothing fancy but came with a bed, bunk beds, a porch swing & fire ring and was right on the Snake River. Price wasn’t bad considering you’re close to Grand Tetons/Yellowstone.

  East Table Campground

  Last minute find!

  The campground was full but we still thought we'd check to be sure there wasn't a last minute cancellation. The camp host was so kind. She had one more spot available across the road that was a group sight. She gave it to us! Although the site itself was pretty much a gravel parking lot (we were tent camping), there was water available, a fire ring, and VERY clean vault toilets/bathrooms.

  Jackson Hole/Snake River Park KOA

  Pitched a Tent

  Selected a great site w/o advanced registration - right on the Snake River. The staff was super nice, everything seemed adequate and clean. The upper area w/RVs and Cabins looked a little crowded, but the tent sites were tucked away. Really had a nice stay - our neighbors had SUPER whiny babies, but hey man... that's KOA sometimes. The river drowned out any other noises.

  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.

  Maple Grove Hot Springs

  Great camping and great hot springs

  This is one of my favorite places on earth. They have tent sites, van sites and a selection of shelters to choose from. Camping gets you access to the hot springs from check in until 4pm the next day. There’s running water in the bathhouse with a toilet and shower. There’s yoga classes included in the price as well. The bathhouse also has a nice little shop with snacks and gifts. They sell tinfoil dinners too if you want to really relax. Highly recommend! They offer volunteer days as well where you can camp and soak in exchange for volunteer work.

  Wolf Den RV Park

  Small Campground with Big Personality

  We were traveling from the snow in the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone and wanted to find a place close by with warmer temps.   Found this campground on google search.  Has a total of 14 RV sites, all full hook ups with a picnic table,  some tent sites and about a dozen cabins.  RV sites are gravel and very level.  There is a playground and picnic area.  There is a shower house and a laundry.   The office has ice and some supplies.  There is a package store in the front and the town of Alpine is about 10 miles away.   The campground is very well kept and the owner is very helpful.   Great view of the mountains from any site and in all directions.

  Riverside Park Campground

  Small basic campground

  This campground was quaint and small. The hosts were amazing and the pit toilets were the cleanest I have ever seen! We were redirected to this campground from Teton canyon due to aggressive bear activity and we were traveling with a soft side pop up trailer.
  The site was further from the Tetons and mountains than we wanted. The sites were outside a reservoir directly on the river. There is an upper area closer to the road with electric and water. But it was basically a big parking lot for rvs. Down below We snagged a great site tucked between huge trees. It had a fire pit, picnic table, level tent site as well as an oversized parking spot that was easy to level the trailer.

  Montpelier Creek KOA

  HIGHLY RECOMMEND !Great host and beautiful campsite!

  We booked a tent site online and pulled in around 8 pm on a Monday night shortly after the covid shutdown. It was raining and the temperature was 37 degrees and due to drop to 29 overnight. The incredibly kind host gave us a cabin for no extra charge since the campsite was almost empty. Character like that is hard to come by anymore! The campsites are beautiful, nestled right beside the creek. The scenery all around is beautiful rolling, green hills. Very quiet and clean. Clean restrooms and just 2 miles from town. The shop at the campsite has basic necessities, snacks, and drinks. There’s a playground for children and a fenced area for dogs. We are tremendously thankful for the host being so generous and will ABSOLUTELY be staying here again in the future! Highly highly highly recommend!

  Paris Springs Campground

  Very nice campground

  I stayed one night in this campground. There are about 10 sites and it was almost full capacity on a Friday. There were 2 available site. I chose the site near the Paris spring Trailhead. The trail to the spring is about 1/4 mile in and is very beautiful. There were hummingbirds everywhere! And dragon flies too! The wild flowers were still pretty vibrant but starting to fade.

  They are replacing the picnic tables so each site has two, a very nice coated metal table and the old cement and wood ones. The have metal fire rings and a area large enough for a camper and a level tent site. The offer two central pit toilets that were tidy and well stocked.

  Nearby, about six miles from the campground, is the Paris Ice Cave. This is very interesting and I recommend visiting!

  Swift Creek Campground

  Ranger Review: Lilytrotters Compression Socks at Swift Creek Campground

  This is a great place just 2 miles from Afton, WY along the beautiful blue Swift Creek! I was visiting Afton for the annual Lincoln Couny Fair. I opted for some peace and quiet and a babbeling brook vs. the crowds/music/noise of the campground located at the fairgrounds. With some trail running too!

  Campground Review: I thought the campground would be busier on such a busy weekend, but there was only one other campsites occupied other than myself. The campground had some damaged roads making some sites non-accessible, but other wise it was maintained and tidy, a bit overgrown, but I don't think it sees heavy use. The vault toilets were tidy and well stocked. Water was available, and I bet it is pristine spring water, however I had packed pleanty and didn't use it. The bonus to this campground: they don't allow ATV's in the campground, which keeps noise and dust down. (Guess that may be a bad point if you're an avid off-roader) Swift Creek flows through the campground and many of the campsites. It offers excellent trout fishing and is spring fed and is the clearest blue color. Up from the campground about 4 miles you can hike into Intermittent Spring. It's very pretty and I recommend visiting! The road up the canyon follows Swift Creek and passes a couple waterfalls and super fishing holes!

  Product Review: FIVE STARS! Lily Trotters Compression Socks https://www.lilytrotters.com/ Occasionally, The Dyrt will offer Rangers gear to reiview. I was offered the opportunity to demo the Lily Trotters Compression Socks. I've had a few opportunities to wear these compression socks before posting this review, and I LOVE them! I've worn them hiking and trail running and the definitely decreased leg fatigue. I think I'm going to find a new love of running! Before using any kind of compression, my calves would burn when I ran, so I used it as an excuse not to. This would happen on long hikes as well. I think these socks are my answer to longer and more challenging hikes and a new love for running! Thank you for broadening my love of adventure! I hope to climb the Grand Teton soon and I will be rocking my Lily Trotters!

  K O A Campgrounds Montpelier

  Loved this KOA!

  We got the last site which was for a RV but was given to us for our tent camping. It had both water and electric hook ups on site, and plenty of space for our tent. I gave this KOA 5 Stars all due to the site #26! We were directly next to a river stream which we were able to take our camp chairs and sit in the water. Like our own private oasis. Our site had a section that was concrete and that’s where my boyfriend had set up our kitchen area. #26 didn’t have anyone right directly next to us just a wooden rail and a river stream. The bathrooms were super clean and the showers were a good size also. Loved how they had a tv in the bathrooms. Shower while listening to the news or a tv show. They had a cute little store that sold a variety of camping items and food and drinks, candy, chips, medicines, toiletries and much more. Even though we didn’t hit the pool there was one and a nice size play area for the kids, and horseshoes for bigger kids. Also it’s about a 25min drive to the beautiful Bear Lake! Gorgeous! I will most definitely stay here again and again and will ask for #26! Thanks KOA for making our trip a great one! See you soon!

  Spring Creek Trailhead

  Solitude !

  Great dispersed camping area. Appears to be used by a lot of hunters. There is a nice big picnic table at one site and a few spots with campfire rings and meat poles. There are no other amenities. The Greys River is right near camp as well as Spring Creek. The Spring Creek Falls trailhead has a river crossing at the 2 mile mark, sign states it is 5 miles to the falls. I didn’t venture further than that. I stayed at this campground because I was hiking up Wyoming Peak in the morning. Wyoming Peak was a wonderful hike, highly recommend! This summer has had the most amazing wildflowers!

  Indian Creek

  We loved it!

  My partner and I stayed two nights at this free campsite and loved both nights. We saw most people in RVs but the sites are great for tents too. The wind made tenting a little difficult but doable. It looked like each site had a fire ring and there are two public bathrooms. The lake and backdrop is beautiful and worth the visit. The clay quicksand-like ground close to the lake was fun to play in and explore!

  Wolf Creek Campground

  Close-ish to Grand Teton

  Close to Grand Teton but far enough away that it will likely be unfilled is the best thing about our experience here. When all the sites in Grand Teton National Park are full, hotel rooms in Jackson, WY are $500 a night and you are willing to make a little effort you'll find yourself on Hwy 89 turning into Wolf Creek Campground adjacent to the highway. You'll be squarely in the middle of Grizzly Bear** country, and you'll be reminded of this at the entrance with a lot of signs and a bear safe garbage dumpster with the roof smashed in.

  Just saying. Know your environment. First come, first serve for $16/night.

  Our site was directly next too the highway. There was no shade or trees to block the road. There was a bit of a mound but not enough to block the lights from truckers passing by all night long. The campground was completely overgrown with weeds including the tent pad we didn't even realize was there until the next day it was so overgrown. The ground is rock and hard pack dirt. Bring the good tent stakes.

  Each site had a campfire pit and bear-safe storage box. As we've found to be the case in Wyoming the bathroom was impeccably clean. This may have something to do with the bears.

  The campsite is across the road from the Snake River but it does not (as advertised on the Reserve America site) have a view of the river. It is in the valley along the highway with some towering cliff/mountains on either side. You can cross the street to check out the river and there is an overlook walking distance down the highway. There is a place to sit there, and a CLOSED trail down to the riverside. There is likely another access point to the trail but we didn't see it.

  The best thing about this site was the night sky. When there wasn't a truck passing by it was one of the darkest spots we've camped in awhile. The stars were pristine and since you had mountains blocking out light on both sides they seemed even brighter.

  *Pro-tip: Just down the road is the Yankee Doodle Cafe. It is a unique place. The food is exactly what you'll want from a diner after a bad night's sleep. The portions are big, and regardless of your political views you'll likely get a kick out of the Americana all over the walls. The owner, Gary and his Wife, will regale you with local stories if you're lucky enough to meet them.

  **There was a bear in camp while we were there. Be aware of bears.

  Nice little campground

  Very nice little off-ish grid campground in Wyoming. The camp host is super nice and there is water spaced out around the campground. All in all a nice place for only an hour south of Jackson Hole. Verizon At&t and Tmobile all had reception.

  Allred Flat

  Great spot

  We camped here in a tent passing through on our way north. Only cost us $10. Pretty spot and only a couple other campers in the area that night so we had plenty of privacy. It does appear that it is closed in winter but there is a forest road just south that you could camp on for free I'm sure.

  Hams Fork Campground

  Great fishing!

  Just off a dusty forest service road. The fishing is great, lots of little tributaries to fish. There is a pit toilet available. I'd recommend pitching a tent in the forest vs. camping here, although it was not busy, there are only a few sites at this campground.

  St. Charles Campground

  Only 6 sites, very near Bear Lake

  Disclosure: I did not camp overnight, but spent a fair amount of time here at my friends site. Please see my Ranger review of Cloverleaf Campground (and the Primus Trailbreak Vacuum Bottle), just a few miles up the road from here. (Our group got split up)

  There are only 6 camp sites in this small campground, it is very nice, although it was in need of mowing/trimming. The tent was pitched right next to Saint Charles Creek. It is currently very high (6/2017). I was worried they may get their tent wet!

  The camp is paved, so no dust! They have flush toilets and potable water.

  There are 4 campgrounds along the road to Minnetonka Cave. All access the Highline Trail.

  Very close to Bear Lake and Minnetonka Cave!
