Nearby hiking trails offer excellent opportunities for dog exercise, with many campers reporting great bird watching while exploring with their pets. The Salt River provides water access where dogs can cool off, though owners should be aware the water can be shallow and muddy in certain areas. Wildlife viewing opportunities abound with mule deer, moose, and antelope sometimes visible from campsites, requiring pets to be properly secured. Melvin Brewing's nearby reservoir area offers free dispersed camping where pets can enjoy lakeside access. Most campgrounds in the region maintain standard leash requirements, though enforcement varies by location. During summer months, mosquitoes can be prevalent in marshy areas near water, so pet owners should consider appropriate insect protection. The area's significant temperature drops at night, even in summer, make proper pet bedding essential for comfort.
"This campground does not allow ATV's in the campground but does offer a parking area for your toys just outside the campground entrance. The sites are well spread out throughout the campground."

LegendNice dog park for big and small dogs. At this campground, you are a little close to neighbors but they stagger the trailers so it works. Nice trees for shade. The restrooms were as clean but they were older facilities. No road noise.
ScoutStayed 4 nights, campground is well maintained. Check in went smothly. RV spots are on concrete and level. 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. Campground is about an hour and 15 minutes from The Grand Tetons. Not worth the drive for the amount of money it is to stay at this campground. The patios and grass area at RV sites are plush but if you have dogs you can't put up dog fencing. The dog play area had 1 bench for owners to sit. The gate for the dog park was very loosely secured. No water hose or faucet available to get water for your dog while at dog park. We had neighbors that complained about our dogs playing to loudly. Then, on our last night we were doing some pre packing to leave the campground the next morning. It was 8:40pm and we heard a knock at our door, the dogs were being quiet and we weren't expecting anyone. Went to the door and it was an employee from the campground to tell us that we had our outside lights on. I was confused and asked the man what time it was? He said it's 8:45. Then, to confirm, I asked what time we had to have the lights turned off the outside and he said 10pm was quiet time and all lights should be off. I assured him we had read the rules and we knew we had to have the lights off by 10pm and we also knew when quiet time started, and that we were planning on having the lights off before then. We weren't doing anything wrong so why in the world did he come to our RV to tell us our lights were on as if we were doing something wrong. Felt unwelcomed, our money is as good as anyone else's. Very RUDE!
LegendMeticulously cared for family owned and run campground with log cabins. Many pros to this campground... Nice wide sites, most pull through, clean showers and laundry room. The people who run it are super friendly and helpful. Great liquor store and great food truck attached to the grounds. great hook ups, reception and even better WiFi. Only cons are that it is just off Hwy 89, but you don't hear road noise at night. No dog park and is over an hour to Grand Teton and Jackson Hole. We did find great hiking only a few minutes from the campground. We would definitely recommend this place. The owners are constantly out doing improvements, which impressed us a great deal
TravelerHost is amazing! Campgrounds are good sizes and accommodates Travel trailers and fifth wheels. Does have group camping. No water hookup, no electricity and no showers. There is noises from the vehicles on the road nearby. It is close to the roads. Pet friendly.
ScoutBeautiful 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.
RangerUltimate lake camping; bring your boat for wakeboarding, tubing, or just relaxing. Even human powered vehicles can be enjoyed; especially close to shore. So much to explore! There are so many places to get out and camp, many of these dispersed camping areas include vault toilets at the entrances, although not much else besides a boat ramp. Some of them are better than others, so be sure to check it out before launching your boat. The ground near the reservoir can get very silty and muddy if there has been recent wet weather, you risk getting your vehicle stuck if you back in too far. Even the dirt roads can get that way - but pay attention and you'll be fine. There were several toy haulers and RVs that made it in and made it out without incident; my group managed to get in and out ok too.
In late May, it still gets cold at night yet there are mosquitos in this marshy area. They're not too bad, but if you're sensitive to the bites be prepared. I was fine in long sleeves and pants, they mostly left me alone. Fires are allowed most of the time, unless there is a red flag warning. Its your responsibility to know what isn't allowed, there are typically signs posted at the entrances if there are restrictions. Pets are fine too. I think the camping limit was 14 days, but that may have been at the site we chose. Others may be less.
We stayed at one of very many sites along the reservoir. With 70 miles of shoreline, you're bound to have your own unique experience.
RangerAbsolutely gorgeous campground with amazing hosts especially Ben the cat!!! Super quiet and sites are spacious and far enough away from others you still feel secluded. It is incredibly dark at night, I've never seen so many stars in the sky! No light pollution at all. I really wish I had brought my telescope. Very nice park approved fire rings at each site and firewood available for sale at the host lot. Also large bear resistant food boxes and large picnic table available at each site. Water is available to fill your fresh tank but there is no where to dump grey or black tanks so be mindful of that especially when you have to travel 8 miles down a rough dirt road. Hosts did however reccomend we could empty a couple buckets of grey water in the vault toilet if we had to and even offered to let us use one of their buckets. There are vault toilets available and bear resistant dumpsters. Also no cell service at all but I didn't mind. Beautiful waterfall and hot springs you can walk or drive to. Many beautiful trails to walk as well. This is real camping folks; no hookups, no wifi or cell service ...only fresh water and firewood available. Make sure to bring everything you need as it's nearly an hour from town. Generators allowed until 10pm. $15 a day and I believe it was a 16 day limit. First come first serve, no reservations.
GuideThis nice little Campground is all first come first served. Sits on the banks on the Green River. There is water, pit toilets, fire Rings, lamp post, and water. The only downside to the campground is it is located right along a fairly busy two lane Highway. However after dark the traffic Falls to almost zero.
The campground is located a dozen miles or so north of Pinedale Wyoming which offers full services. It also provides easy access to the amazing Green River Lakes area. Just across the highway a gravel road parallels the Green River offering about a dozen free riverside campsites. The main road to these is rough but well maintained. However the road to several of the sites are quite narrow and rough and should be scouted if you're pulling a trailer or driving a larger RV.
There is amazing Wildlife viewing right from the campground. On my last visit I saw mule deer, moose, and Antelope right from my campsite.
LegendClose 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.
