Alpine, Wyoming serves as a gateway to several camping areas in the surrounding national forest land. Dispersed sites like Reservoir Disperse Camping and Snake River Alpine Dispersed Camping provide free options for self-sufficient campers seeking primitive experiences. Established campgrounds such as Wolf Creek Campground and Alpine North Loop offer more amenities including picnic tables, fire rings, and vault toilets. The region includes a mix of tent and RV sites, with campgrounds like Greys River Cove RV Park and Alpine Valley RV Resort providing full hookups for those seeking more comfort, while areas along the Snake River cater to tent campers and boaters.
Access to many camping areas depends on seasonal conditions, particularly in higher elevations where snow may linger into late spring. Most dispersed camping spots remain open year-round but may be inaccessible during winter months or spring runoff periods. The Forest Service typically opens developed campgrounds like Wolf Creek in May, closing them by mid-September. Proximity to Jackson Hole and Grand Teton National Park makes this area popular during summer months, with weekends often filling quickly. Cell service varies throughout the region, with better coverage near the town of Alpine and spotty reception in more remote locations. One camper noted, "This is a great campground in Alpine WY. Level sites, full hook ups available, excellent wifi and cell service."
Campers report high satisfaction with waterfront sites, particularly those along the Snake River where fishing opportunities abound. Many dispersed areas offer views of surrounding mountains and direct river access, though they lack amenities like bathrooms or drinking water. As one review mentioned, "I camped here during a Snake River float trip. Easy to get to launch quickly and close proximity to Alpine WY where you can pick up supplies." Wildlife viewing opportunities include deer, moose, and various bird species. The area around Alpine strikes a balance between accessibility and wilderness experience, with most camping areas being within 30 minutes of town while still offering natural settings. Noise levels remain generally low, though campgrounds near highways may experience traffic sounds, particularly those along the main routes to Jackson.
"One of the best perks was having a brewery within walking distance. There’s also a small market nearby, which was convenient for picking up any last-minute food or camping essentials."
"We pulled in with a 36 ft fifth wheel and walked down behind the brewery to scope the situation. We ended up pulling down into a totally flat and quiet area. Us and one other trailer."
"A little noisy during business hours because there's a highway surrounding site. We're at the lowest part of the highway so there's climbs on both sides."
"Has a great boat ramp on priest lake. Sites are spacious and well taken care of. No pull through spaces but back in large enough for big trailers."
"If you're looking for one of the best RV campgrounds in Wyoming, Alpine Valley RV Resort in Alpine, WY deserves a spot at the top of your list."
"And the setting is gorgeous, surrounded by mountains and adjacent to the Snake River. Highly recommended +++"
"My boyfriend and I wanted to visit the Tetons, but finding camping near the park over 4th of July weekend was impossible."
"Also, this campsite is very close to the highway. Perfect if you are looking to stop for the night on a trip, but pretty noisy. We woke up to a full grown bull moose in our campsite."
from $20 / night

from $20 - $90 / night
Check Availability"Can hear the highway. Campground host made a solid effort to manage the Labor Day deluge."
"A) It’s $15/night and there is so much free camping around here and B) the sites felt very open and not at all private. Quite a bit of road noise as it is right off of the main highway."
from $15 - $25 / night
Check Availability"I chose one closer to the entrance for the tree coverage. It was close to the highway, so there was traffic noise, but it lessened during the night and didn't bother me."
"Vault toilet close to the entrance well stocked with tp."
"We pulled off the road and were a little confused on where the camp sites were but drove around a little and found the best spot! Close to the water and the ground was nice and flat for our tent."
"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."
"Nice area lots of ATV’s around so makes it louder than other spots. River is beautiful."
"We were able to see lots of kayakers on the river and trails to hike."
"The sites have beautiful water views, with lots of atv & dirt bike trails. Campers could clean up their sites better and stop shooting up trees, lead kills trees."
LegendThis is a great little RV park right on the edge of downtown Jackson. Sadly, it is closing as the land has been sold and designated for an affordable housing development. Nothing fancy here, but clean and well-maintained. Super friendly warm welcome. I’d stay again if needing to be near Jackson, but it will no longer be here after this season.
GuideIt's filling up quick, each campsite has an fire rink. The once on the mountain foot a outhouse. Perfect views, can be windy.
GuideAbsolutely beautiful place to camp. Every camp site has a million dollar view.
GuideYou pass a day use area and then there are 5-6 turn outs different in size. Have firepits and a nice little creek runs by. Shade, quite, nice, simple.
GuidePros: beautiful sunset views, private campsites, and for the most part they’re pretty large, fire rings, drive isn’t awful, close to the park Cons: fills up very quickly, lots of people save their spots with a single chair, human fences and wipes at the site
ScoutGreat spot in route. Right off the road yet still quiet. Pit toilets, and picnic tables worked great.
TravelerHave nothing but positive things to say about this campground. We stayed in A 55’ RV SITE . bathhouses are clean, the free breakfast was fantastic. The park is clean and maintained. Price was so affordable. 10/10 will visit again.
GuideEach campsite is off the road and offers remote camping. The ones next to the water get taken up quickly but we found one next to a cliffside and loved it as well. The road can be loud, there’s a lot of 4 wheelers and they speed by like crazy several times a day. You can also hear highway noise. But you are 40 mins from Idaho Falls and the Heise pizza & hot springs nearby is LOVELY- we went twice lol! Fall creek falls nearby is also breathtaking. There was a lot of trash and glass at our site though so be aware. The dirt road getting in is crappy and long btw. But bonus there’s a big trash bin before heading onto it.
ScoutGorgeous campsite!! Tons of options and solid views of the lower part of the Teton range. The Grand is hidden. Stayed on the west corridor and could walk to a field for sunset views
Dispersed camping near Alpine, Wyoming offers self-sufficient campers access to several areas along the Snake River and Palisades Reservoir. Most dispersed sites require campers to pack in their own water, food, and supplies while packing out all trash. The elevation ranges from approximately 5,600 feet near town to over 7,000 feet in the surrounding forest lands, with summer temperatures typically reaching 75-85°F during the day and dropping to 45-55°F at night. Water levels at reservoir sites fluctuate seasonally, affecting shoreline camping conditions.
Fish in the Snake River: The confluence of the Snake River and Greys River creates prime fishing opportunities near Greys River Cove RV Park. Bring waders for bank fishing or launch kayaks and small boats for better access. "River fishing was good here. Not too far from Hoback Market which has just about everything you need or may have forgotten for your trip," noted one camper at East Table Campground.
Kayak at Palisades Reservoir: Launch directly from your campsite at many dispersed locations. "We could kayak right off from our spot. It was right after 4th of July weekend so we were having a hard time finding spots in other areas. But very grateful we came across this one!" shares a camper at Reservoir Disperse Camping.
Visit breweries: Alpine's local breweries provide post-outdoor refreshment options. "This is a great wide open site with excellent views and an added bonus of a brewery in walking distance," reports one camper about dispersed camping near Melvin Brewing. Another notes, "Had a spot right on the water, with an brewery 100 yards away. The people were great, the brews were tasty."
Waterfront access: Many campsites provide direct water access, especially at Reservoir Disperse Camping near Melvin Brewing. "We easily found a spot right next to the water! It was quiet and peaceful. Right next to a dog friendly brewery that made for a good meal and lovely to watch the sunset!" according to one review. Another adds, "There are tons of places to go—some a little sketchy if you have a larger rig."
Privacy between sites: The dispersed camping areas offer better spacing than developed campgrounds. "We came here just after the 4th of July holiday and it was so much more empty than the week before," notes a camper at Indian Creek. Another camper at Snake River Alpine Dispersed Camping reports, "Camp sites are super far apart in comparison to others. Fire pits are available and drift wood is everywhere."
Mountain views: The surrounding mountain backdrop creates scenic vistas from most sites. "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!" shares a camper at Indian Creek. At Snake River Alpine Dispersed Camping, visitors appreciate the "beautiful place to camp. The water is shallow and surrounded by mountains."
Water level fluctuations: Reservoir and river sites can experience significant changes in water levels. "Main issue—can't really tell how far the reservoir tide will come up. We set our chairs up by a fire pit before dinner and came back to them in a few inches of water," warns a camper at Reservoir Disperse Camping. Another cautions, "Also be advised the tides change often many people have found themselves under water as told by the wait staff at Melvin."
Road conditions: Access to many dispersed sites requires navigating unpaved roads. At Snake River Alpine Dispersed Camping, "Absolutely no signage on where to pull off the road. But, we found it. A little rutted coming off the highway. Area is very flat and easy to navigate." Another camper notes that "Directions are clear but seem sketch when following, but you will know when you arrive."
Limited amenities: Most dispersed sites lack facilities. "This spot is strange its 2 minutes off the highway but its right out front of a brewery restaurant and seems to be on a disc golf course. A single beat up wooden picnic table is out here with a few stone fire rings," explains a camper at Reservoir Disperse Camping near Melvin Brewing.
Check site elevation: Lower elevation sites near town remain accessible longer into fall. The Alpine North Loop Campground provides a good option for families. "The campground offers potable water and restrooms. We stayed on site 11 and the backdrop was beautiful Pallisades Reservoir. The site itself was big enough for a 40' fifth wheel," notes a camper.
Plan for bugs: Mosquitoes can be problematic at sites near water. "The only negative about the park was the bugs. Not just mosquitos, but also other annoying bugs," reports a visitor at Alpine North Loop Campground. Bug spray is essential during summer months.
Select sites with amenities: For families needing bathrooms, avoid purely dispersed areas. Wolf Creek Campground offers basic amenities. "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," shares a camper. Another adds, "CLEANEST vault toilets I've ever seen, water spikets within walk of site."
Water pressure considerations: For RVers staying at developed campgrounds, water systems may have high pressure. At Alpine Valley RV Resort, campers are advised to use regulators: "So glad we already had a water regulator. We were told as we were checking in that we definitely needed one due to pressure being 90psi."
Clearance requirements: Some access roads need higher clearance vehicles. "The roads in can be a little tricky without a raised truck and 4 wheel drive when towing a large 5th wheel," notes a visitor at Indian Creek. Another camper at Reservoir Disperse Camping shares, "The road from the brewery is about 100 yards and dirt. Its very bumpy but go slow with some clearance and its 2wd fine."
Site selection for large rigs: For larger RVs, some of the best places to camp near Alpine, Wyoming are the designated RV parks. "Level sites, full hook ups available, excellent wifi and cell service. There is a nice new bathhouse and laundry room," reports a camper at Greys River Cove RV Park. East Table Campground recommends caution with large units: "Too small for 5th wheels and big motorhomes - more appropriate for tents and Sprinter-sized motorhomes."
