"The campsites were well spaced and tucked into the trees for some privacy and space. The tent pads were level and each site had a bear box. Facilities were clean."
"Absolutely worth the price to be staying smack in the middle of the GTNP. extremely close to south entrance of yellowstone too. Staff is fantastic. On-site grocery and gas station."
$77 / night
"This was the first place I ever camped in Wyoming and I’ve been back three times since! The views are amazing. The drive to the site is kind of rough but it’s definitely worth it."
"This experience was my first to Wyoming and the first glimpse of the beautiful Tetons! I did a climb with Summit for Someone (SFS), to raise money for underprivileged city youth."
"Shadow Mountain dispersed camping is just a few miles across the way from the Moose, Wyoming, entrance to Grand Teton National Park."
"It’s a bit more hidden compared to other sites with a path off the main road."
$117 - $122 / night
"We stayed in the Rv area with full hook-ups and a good sized site which was gravel with a picnic bench and surrounded by shade."
"This site was a very short and beautiful walk to the lake which we loved. Clean bathrooms two sites up the loop with water."
$17 - $34 / night
"A nice quiet campground on the western side of the Tetons, not far from The Spud Drive-In Movie Theater in Victor, Idaho. Our site sat in beautiful old growth forest and away from other campers."
"Get the back loop in the woods, away from the Dusty road."
$105 / night
"Surrounded by trees perfect for hammocks. Great designated, flat tent pad. Walking distance to the lake. Not too close to the shops but still close enough to walk to."
"We were a minute walk away from the lake and a perfect view of the mountains. They had a great general store with decent prices for being the only store around."
$17 / night
"Only knock on this campground is the proximity to the highway, you can hear the traffic. Within walking distance of multiple trails."
"A smaller quiet campground near the Teton Valley. This campground is pretty far from GTNP, but close to the activities on the other side. Avoid site #1, 2, 3 to get away from the highway noise."
"Around 630 it appeared all the sites were full as we saw a lot of vehicles heading back down the road. So I'd suggest getting there fairly early."
"There are 27 sites, some with A and B locations. 4-6 is on the right side of the Y, 7-27 on the left. We drove around looking at all of the spots and Site 27 was unreal."
$57 - $101 / night
"Get there around 11am to grab a site with a view, there’s only a handful. If those are full get a site near the entrance so you’re close to bathhouses, laundry, store, restaurant."
"Our spot was right next to the bathrooms, which was handy. Though we didn’t love the gravel box meant for the tent pad. Some sites had great views, ours was just trees and neighbors."
"We parked at sunset and saw the sky turn all beautiful colors around the tetons, listening to the river babble, while the coyotes howled to each other."
"We still have 5G service but are quite a distance from the quaint, little town. Many good restaurants. Great hiking, kayak on the Teton River!"
RangerSince it is part of the National Park, it was a nice campground. Lots of sites. Just adjacent to the campground is a general store, laundry, and showers, as well as a Visitor Center and restaurant. Near the entrance is a gas station. Wish I had nicer weather (rained all day). Bathrooms within the campground are a bit dated. Potable water available near the bathrooms. Some campsites got flooded with rain water.
RangerDefinitely be ready to hear your neighbors but a great spot to be close to the lake!
ScoutThe camping areas are right next to the gun range. We have guns going off constantly. Some guns are large and make a lot of noise, scares us and our dog.
GuideClean with nice office staff. However, this is a lot with a variety of guests…tricks, workers, short term and long term. 1 bathroom toilet! Let’s call it a reasonable place to shut down for 1 night!
GuideThis is the best view I have ever had camping. It was quite difficult to find a site and the first night (a Tuesday) we had to camp in a forested area with not the best view. But we moved to a different site the next morning and it was gorgeous. It was the best view we had of the Tetons. It was a bit loud at night but the view was worth it. A lot of people weren’t following proper bear country food/cooking edict but we didn’t have any issues with bears in the 4 days we stayed here. Overall amazing site.
ScoutHas several spots at a few locations off the roads. Road is rock (small car safe) but pulling into camp sites use caution potholes are big but easy maneuvered. Would have got five if water.
TravelerWe stopped here on 7/27 at around 9am and found plenty of open spots. I even managed to drive up the mountain effortlessly in my 24 civic sport hatchback(however wouldn’t recommend going up the entire mountain, we walked up the rest of the way to scout more spots and my low clearance car probably won’t have made it, so we stopped at this site 5) . No problems getting up it, if it rained that would be a different story so just check the weather. Our campsite was gorgeous and stayed there for 2 nights. Each night we did wake up to people who crashed at 3am. Unfortunate downside of this place is those people who show up late and see your spot it big enough for another and either wake you up or don’t ask to see if they can stay.
TravelerDefinitely need decent ground clearance for roads. Beautiful group area with 3 sites. No bugs and cool nights.
RangerWe rolled in at 11 pm found a spot when everything else was full. There is Verizon WiFi and a vault toilet. In great views of the Tetons. We didn’t se le the camp area. We pulled in between two R v’s near the bathroom. But it was a spot for the night and we woke up to amazing views.
