    The Slide Lake Boating Site is a small, beautiful lake access point, ideal for kayaks, canoes, paddleboards, and other non-motorized watercraft. It is located down the Taylor Ranch Road, a spur off the main Gros Ventre Road that winds down through aspen stands and large boulders from the Gros Ventre Slide. There are several small parking spots amongst the willows, aspens and large boulders, directly adjacent to the lake and a small beach. A small sandy trail leads down to the beach, located near the lake’s outlet and offers great access to the lake’s western shores. There are no facilities located on site, although dispersed and fee campgrounds are located nearby. Parking is limited and tight and does not have ample space for trailer turnaround. No cellular service is available.

      Thaidaho Victor is one single 'RESERVATION ONLY' car/truck/bicycle/motorcycle glamping spot for non-smokers. No RV's or trailers are allowed, and we have no dump or hookup. This glamping spot is intended for one or two people who are car/truck/moto/bicycle camping.

      There is a small dry sleeping cabin with one full size bed (for one or two people), a dorm-sized refrigerator, coffee maker, hair dryer, fan and space heater. Drinking water and towels are provided. There is an outdoor hot-water shower & flush toilet, a fire pit, picnic table, propane grill and parking for one vehicle or two bikes. There is one separate bicycle camping spot, so at times the outdoor shower & toilet will be shared with one or two other people. The site is pretty, private and has unobstructed views of the Big Hole Mountains, yet is located next to the Town of Victor with it's many restaurants, bars and stores.

      Teton Valley is just 25 miles from Jackson Hole, Wyoming and Grand Teton National Park, and just 1.5 hours from Yellowstone National Park. Just 12 miles away is Grand Targhee Resort, with their biking, trails and music festivals in the summer.

      Dispersed camping is the term used for camping anywhere in the National Forest OUTSIDE of a designated campground. Dispersed camping means no services; such as trash removal, and little or no facilities; such as tables and fire pits, are provided. Some popular dispersed camping areas may have toilets.There are extra responsibilities and skills that are necessary for dispersed camping. It is your responsibility to know the camping rules and regulations to make your experience safe, and to keep the natural resources scenic and unspoiled for other campers. Due to over use and high impacts, certain areas in the Jackson Hole Valley have had designated sites numbered for use. This is to help lessen the amount of impact on the resource. See map for designated spaces: https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd629695.pdf

      Excellent National Forest Campground

      Very well maintained campground. Stayed here for a few nights in mid-Sept 2024; no fees - end of summer season. Summer time fee is $17. Mix of pull-thru and back-in sites. Some sites are in the open; others are set back into thick forest. Campground accommodates tent campers, hammock campers, van campers, car campers, truck campers. One camper managed get his big travel trailer into a campsite. Large sites, good spacing between them. Clean vault toilets in different parts of the campground. Water was still turned on during our stay. Usually has a host, but not during my stay. Campsites are level on a gravel surface with a newish table, metal fire ring and a tent pad. Area is popular with hikers. Good trails from the campground. No T-Mobile nor AT&T cell service. The forest road accessing the campground is in good shape; access is from the Idaho side of the Tetons. Stayed in site #2 with a campervan; pull-thru site with a tent pad. A lush forest was directly behind this site. Loved camping here. Look forward to returning.

      East Table Campground

      Access to the Snake River

      Stayed here on Sept 18, 2024. Paid $10 with senior pass. Pretty campground. Lots of pine trees. Some pull-throughs and some back-ins. Gravel campground road; may be tight in places for big rigs. Sites are dirt surface. Some leveling required. Campground accommodates tents, car camping, vans and RVs. Don't recommend large towables. Hammock camping possible. More than one vault toilet; reasonably clean and stocked. Hand water pumps, but shut off. Trash dumpsters, but locked. Some sites have easy access to the Snake River for fishing. Each site has a table, bear box, metal fire ring, and grill. Highway noise, loud at times. $20 is too high for a national forest campground fee when the water is shut off and the trash dumpsters are locked. Site 9 is large but received some odor from the nearby vault toilet. Campground host was friendly. This campground is probably a destination campground for fly fishing on the Snake River; otherwise, it's just okay for an overnight stay.

      Looks okay

      $10 ($5 with pass). Visited on Sept 19, 2024. Did not camp here; just passing through after dispersed camping down the road. Included some photos of the campground for those considering this campground in the future. It looks okay; nothing special. Easy access to Greys River for bank fishing. Vault toilet, well water pump and trash service. Sites looked small at first glance; looks unmaintained, but it's going into the winter season when I visited. Sites include a picnic table and metal fire ring.

      Nice looking wooded primitive campground

      Visited in mid-September 2024. $10 ($5 with senior pass). Did not camp here; just checking it out. Included some photos in this revciew. Except for one towable camper, I was surprised that no one else was camping here, especially considering it was hunting season. The campground was set back in the trees off of Greys River Road. Lots of trees here; lots of shade. Nice looking campground. Good size sites; appear to be level. Picnic table and fire ring included. Not much privacy between sites, but separation between sites was good. Two clean vault toilets. Hand well water pump. Trash service.  No other amenities. No hook-ups. Campground appears to be well maintained. I would consider camping here in the future.

      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.

      Closed for the Season!

      We were excited to find this CG on Dyrt and that it wasn’t difficult to find (in spite of a reviewer’s commenting); but when we arrived, the gate was pad-locked.  (Sign indicated open hours; but not that it would be closed for the season.)  

      Fortunately, we went .5 mile further and found a small dry camping site— maybe 4-6 vehicles could be accommodated.  Sign there indicated that there was a 5-day limit for camping.  A couple of other vehicles came in; but none chose to join us for the night.  Camping area is right by the gravel road and there was traffic coming & going late into the evening & early in the morning; but regardless it was a great site w/ privacy from the road.

      Found on Google Maps Free dispersed camping in allowed areas.
      There are a few fire rings and a pit toilet.
      There were quite a few campers but was actually quiet.
      Beautiful sunset over the Tetons.

      Coolest Campsite I’ve ever stayed at

      This free dispersed site was absolutely unreal. We met the most amazing people and go to watch the sunrises, sunsets, thunderstorms and rainbows over the Tetons each and every day. Truly an amazing experience and I hope everyone can make it out here some day. We stayed at site #9 and honestly I think it’s the best site on the entire campground. Everyone was wondering how we snagged it and I said “get there earlier in the morning” haha. Enjoy:)

      Very peaceful, only one other camper near by for the first 5 days, then had the area to myself. Best view spots need decent clearance. Great view of some of the Tetons from the west side, overlooking the small town of Victor.

      Easy 1/2 mile walk from parking lot down to rocky beach and private personal or group sites where you’ll feel like you have have Jackson Lake all to yourself. Unrestricted views of Mt Moran and very probable sighting of Bald Eagles, Bear, Elk, Moose, and Deer. Bear Boxes are available along with fire rings. All waste must be packed out.

      USFS Strong

      Outstanding little USFS campground with convenient trail access for Jedediah Smith Wilderness, Alaska Basin, and Grand Teton National Park. Vault Toilets are recently updated, the water is cold and clear, the creek is beautiful, and in my 3x staying the hosts have always been extremely helpful and friendly. The road back in is long and all gravel, but easy to handle in any vehicle if you keep it a reasonable speed. There is no cell service of any sort except in random, almost impossible to find again spots. Plenty of wildlife in the area- always be bear aware!

      Better Than Anything You Could Pay For

      Absolutely the best the USFS dispersed system has to offer. Unbeatable views, understanding site neighbors, attentive host, and all the peace and quiet you can tolerate. Be forewarned, after you drive all the way back to the dispersed site area, MOST of 40+ sites are up a steep, 4x4 required hillside, many aren’t level enough for tenting, and all are in bear country, but again- WORTH IT. Have been here 3x now and will be back.

      Easy Access With Many Sites

      The farm road that leads into this area was once paved and is now covered in gravel with a few ruts here and there but easily avoidable. Sites all the way down to the river edge many with rock fire rings. We were all by ourselves about halfway down - quiet and beautiful!

      Upper Teton View

      Popular and convenient

      This area seems to be very popular. It is very close to the Grand Tetons. There is spotty Verizon signal. Because it is very popular I would suggest larger rigs to arrive earlier in the day in order to get a spot. There seems to be an abundance of camping areas. I stayed here for three nights and was unable to camp at the same location each night. Great views and people around me were polite and quiet.

      Gros Ventre Campground — Grand Teton National Park

      Beautiful view, little privacy

      After spending considerable effort to find and book a nice site, we booked site #68. Absolutely beautiful view of the Tetons. I loved the openness of the site, but my family felt it wasn't very private. Lack of clean fresh water (was not going to use the suspect water hose at the dump site), other than hauling it from spigot at bathroom, was a little annoying. No more appointment times for dumping, which was good. Helpful camp hosts.

      Only a few minutes from Jackson and easy drive up a gravel road. No direct view of Tetons from campground but a 5 minute walk down the road and you get the whole range. Plus if you’re lucky you might spot some paragliders!

      Shadow Mountain - Dispersed Campsite #10

      Unbelievable Views

      Absolutely breathtaking experience camping in site #10a. We got there around 1-2pm and every spot was already filled except for 10a. We accidentally missed it the first time but caught it on our way back down. We went as far as site #17 before we turned around. Plan ahead. Get a spot early and put out some chairs/tables to mark it as yours if you have other plans for the day. It’s a dirt/rocky road uphill the whole way. We wanted to stay for 2 nights but it ended up raining the entire night and was forecasted to rain the entire next day so we moved on to the next location. Beware! If it rains, that dirt/rocky road turns into pure mud. I hydroplaned the whole 15-20ish minutes down. Thank god for downhill braking systems! Would I do it again for that view? You bet.
