Camping near Bridger-Teton National Forest

1,363 Reviews

The mountains and forests of Bridger Teton National Forest create a backdrop for many different camping areas. Granite Creek Campground sits near natural hot springs where campers can soak after a day outdoors. Curtis Canyon Campground has bigger sites with bear boxes and grills for safer food handling. Bears and other wildlife move through the forest regularly, so proper food storage is necessary at all sites. Some camping spots sit in thick woods while others open to meadows, giving you choices between shade and sun. Hikers and anglers find plenty to do, with trails that climb to high viewpoints of the mountain ranges. Bug spray is a must during summer when mosquitoes can be thick in many areas. Some roads in the forest get rough, and you might need a higher-clearance vehicle to reach places like Curtis Canyon, especially after rain.
