"Our first time boondocking in a camper van and we may be spoiled for life! Had a spot right on the water, with an brewery 100 yards away."
"Lots of space available for dispersed camping . Beautiful views and great location in town but still away from all road noise. ATT and Verizon service good ."
$35 / night
"With a wood-burning stove, we stayed nice and toasty. There were plenty of cots to move close to the wood-burning stove for a cozy night sleep."
"Dispersed camping with space for very large groups. Lots of dirt bike/quad trails. Beautiful views. Wish we could have stayed longer."
"Coordinates: 42.78898,-110.68746. Free. Camped here Sept 17, 2024. One of several dispersed campsites along Greys River Road (Forest Road 10138)."
"If this is Grey’s River Dispersed Camping then this is where we were trying to stay. Some free spots along river, kind of on long bumpy gravel road. Didn’t end up staying."
"However there is better dispersed camping along this road."
"We stopped in this part of the National Forest on our way to Yellowstone by way of Jackson Hole, WY. The access is off of HWY 191."
"Most are near the river. Some are very large and flat. We saw quite a few 5th wheelers parked in the first few miles where the road is flat and suitable for a sedan."
"Two dispersed camping sites. No access to the river but there is a nice view of the canyon and you can walk down to the day use area and use the bathroom and river access."
RangerGreat option if the Curtis Canyon campground is full, or if you would prefer something a little more remote. High clearance vehicles recommended - forest road 30440 is in pretty rough shape. Town of Jackson is fairly close.
Same great views you'd expect anywhere near the Tetons; trailhead to Goodwin Lake is close by. Full Teton view is better at the trailhead, but its not far. Dispersed sites are spread out with plenty of space; although no one stayed in the site next to us on this rainy evening in June.
To get there, continue past the Curtis Canyon campground in Bridger-Teton National Forest (behind the Elk refuge) as if you were heading to the trail head. You'll start to see marked sites along the extremely rutted forest road. I would not attempt very muddy conditions.
GuideIt’s a pretty spot, but we were unfortunately unable to stay here because a couple was already there and they asked us to leave because they wanted the spot to themselves - which we understood.
They also blocked the road that goes pass the site with their truck so we weren’t able to drive any further to see if there was anywhere else in the area, but upon looking at satellite view of the coordinates, the road seems to go on a bit further so if you have the chance to drive through there may be more potential sites.
The road is a bit rough and you definitely need a high clearance vehicle to drive through.
Tons of wildflowers and trees everywhere. A very private spot right off the highway.
We ended up staying at Allred Flat campground just a mile or so up there road. It’s $10 a night - $5 if you have a pass - and in my opinion was even prettier than this site.
LegendCoordinates: 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.
ScoutThe suggestion that you need a high clearance vehicle is an understatement. The service road is incredibly rocky with one side a sheer drop. Went down with our campervan and barely made it down and back up in one piece. Looks like a nice spot but the other entrance was blocked so you’d have to get out via the same horrendous route in. Avoid.
Guide4wd, high clearance vehicle needed to get to sites 5 and 6. Quiet and open sky, but site 5 does not have a view of the Tetons.
TravelerOur first time boondocking in a camper van and we may be spoiled for life! Had a spot right on the water, with an brewery 100 yards away. The people were great, the brews were tasty and the sunset was stunning. 10/10
TravelerThere are only 16 spots at this site. Several of them are only accessible if you have a 4WD with high clearance. If have this on my sprinter van and attempted but quickly realized it was not going to work. Maybe a jeep or taco could get up there. The rest of the sites were more accessible but all taken. Luckily someone flagged me down and offered to share their site with me. Super quiet, not far from town. Just get there early, I went at 5 on a Wednesday and all the accessible sites were taken.
GuideHi Campers!
We stopped in this part of the National Forest on our way to Yellowstone by way of Jackson Hole, WY. The access is off of HWY 191. You turn West onto Cliff Creek Rd/Forest Rd 30530 and follow Cliff Creek to many dispersed coming sites.
This is open range so be aware that there are cattle grazing. Plus, it is of course bear country...so know how to stay safe!
We stayed here one night so that we could get on the road again in the morning. We found a nice secluded site. It was pretty close to the creek (there are closer sites but they were taken already) and you could easily walk there to get into some fly fishing.
Our photos are from driving and getting close to the camping area. When we got there it was pretty close to getting dark (just one photo from the site) and we left really early to get on the road.
We'll stop here again if we're in the area! Can't beat free dispersed camping!
GuideLong road that has about 20 sites or more. Most are near the river. Some are very large and flat. We saw quite a few 5th wheelers parked in the first few miles where the road is flat and suitable for a sedan. Sites are very far apart, and unmarked but easy to find. The farther you drive in, the road gets worse which either filters out folks or forces you to turn around depending on what you are driving. Free. No facilities.
