Best Dispersed Camping near Bridger-Teton National Forest
Cliff Creek Road in Bridger-Teton National Forest offers numerous dispersed camping sites along a creek-side forest service road about 30 minutes from Jackson. Sites are well-spaced with many positioned directly alongside the water, providing natural privacy and scenic views. The dirt road is generally accessible for most vehicles including small trailers, though some ruts and potholes require careful driving. A recent review noted, "The road was great, but people were driving pretty fast so kept the dogs close."
Free camping spots extend several miles along Cliff Creek with the best sites featuring established fire rings. No amenities are available—pack in all water and pack out all trash. The area allows both tent and RV camping, with some spots large enough for fifth-wheels in the first few miles where the road remains relatively flat. Wildlife sightings are common, including cattle from nearby open range. According to one visitor, "It is in an open range pastureland, so there were some early morning bovine visitors." Cell service is nonexistent throughout the area, requiring trips to Jackson for connectivity.
