"We chose this site for easy access outside of Jackson as we were arriving later on a weekend. The road was great (but people were driving pretty fast so kept the dogs close)."
"pulled in pretty late at night but found a riverside spot within first 5 mins. the dirt road goes for quite some distance & is all around a gorgeous spot!"
$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."
$15 / night
"Absolutely 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."
"Campsites have amazing views of surrounding mountains and creek where there are several waterfalls you can walk to. Close by you can soak in Granite Creek Hot Springs - Bring $8 cash for entrance!"
"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."
"I do NOT recommend the drive unless you have off road suspension or have a smaller vehicle."
"Pets are also welcome!"
"The drive up the gravel road is super fun and provides great views of the Tetons and wildlife. We stayed at campsite 1A."
"In the Bridger Tetons National Forest, thus offering some sensational
FREEcampsites. Remarkable views of the Tetons at both lower and upper sites. Directions are easy and available online.""This campsite is part of the Bridger-Teton National Forest. You go down some long gravel roads to the entrance, where there are some campsites at the base of the mountain."
"This is just off the highway so there is some traffic noise but the river is flowing so high right now it drowns a lot of it out. I did awaken when a few loud semi-trucks went by."
$15 - $25 / night
"Can hear the highway. Campground host made a solid effort to manage the Labor Day deluge."
"A) It’s $15/night and there is so much free camping around here and B) the sites felt very open and not at all private. Quite a bit of road noise as it is right off of the main highway."
"I loved the gorgeous river setting, and the fact that the tent sites seemed to be situated in prime spots along the river and creek. Great atmosphere with lots of kids running around."
"What a great place outside of Jackson. Quiet and cozy cabins. RV sires and Ana big tent sites on the Snake River."
"Lots of bears but with 2 campers, 2 dogs, kids, and a gennie kicking on periodically we didn't see any.
We parked right on the creek, biked the road/trail, and loved the solitude."
"We stayed here the night before our weekend trip to Jenny Lake in Grand Teton National Park."
ScoutAtherton Creek Campground is a beautiful campground located in the Bridger-Teton National Forest in Wyoming. It is situated near the shores of the scenic Palisades Reservoir and offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains. The campground has a variety of amenities, including picnic tables, fire rings, and vault toilets. It is also a popular spot for fishing, hiking, and boating .
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.
GuideLoved staying at this quiet 12 spot RV park. It’s right off 189 and there’s not much else around except miles of hiking in the Bridger-Teton National Forest. Great place to stop over for the night or spend a few days exploring the surrounding forest or horseback riding. There’s a sweet 22ft airstream sport and a cabin you can rent if you don’t have your own RV and I can’t say enough how nice the owners are! All hookups are new and spots are level gravel.
GuideI stayed in the Bridger Teton National Forest off Buffalo Valley Road to be close to the Moran entrance of Grand Teton National Park. There was a large pullout that had a couple of 'sites' below. The view of the Grand Tetons from this spot is gorgeous. It overlooks the valley and the Buffalo Fork River. It's a quite road and peaceful. I had elk around most nights and could hear the sandhill cranes calling down below. This, like most national forest sites, is primitive. There is no fire rings up top and no restrooms. However, it is free!
TravelerAll campsites filled from Jackson to Rock Springs and happen to pass by this place noting a few empty RV slots left! Gent in the store/office was very pleasant and helpful. Price was right and only 12 camp sites so no great humanity to deal with. A little road noise (US 191) till dark and then silence! Abuts Bridger-Teton National Forest so plenty roaming you be had. Perfect!
LegendDrive about 7 miles W of pinedale on US 191, turn right onto hwy 352 and drive 28 miles to Forest boundary where pavement ends. Continue on Forest Road 650, staying right of river, an additional 17 miles on dirt to campground.
Free camping in Bridger Teton National Forest along the road. Gravel roads and pullouts, some good for RV's to 28'. No services, come prepared. Hiking, fishing and wildlife viewing.
🐻 Grizzly bear country. Keep your camp clean.
Green River Lakes forest service pay campground located at the end of road. Vault toilets, tables, fire rings.
RangerIn the Bridger Tetons National Forest, thus offering some sensational FREE campsites. Remarkable views of the Tetons at both lower and upper sites. Directions are easy and available online. Bathrooms available near parking spaces at the lower spots. Following the road up the hill leads to more sites. The road is rough, but our manual Honda Civic squeaked up there. There are not many sites available, SO GET THERE EARLY. People will try to cram into little flat spaces, but the forest rangers WILL show up and tell you to leave if you aren’t in a designated campsite.
RangerImagine camping under the Grand Tetons... for FREE. This campsite is part of the Bridger-Teton National Forest. You go down some long gravel roads to the entrance, where there are some campsites at the base of the mountain. There is a road that goes up the mountain- which is pretty rough. You probably don’t need 4 wheel drive to get up, but a higher clearance would make it less stressful. I still have no idea how my Honda Civic made it up... but she did. The views were worth the stress. The Tetons were right there, right across the valley from us. Gorgeous. Absolutely amazing views. All around.
WARNING Although this is National Forest this area is designated camping only!! There are only a handful of sites at the base and along the road. The rangers are super strict about this as well. We had a Ranger come up to us (right before dark) and tell us we weren’t in a designated campsite. She was super kind about it, and thankfully the folks next to us at a designated spot let us join them! So make sure to get there early folks!!! So worth it!
RangerThis free campsite is part of the Blackrock Ranger District of the Bridger-Teton National Forest and about 10 minute drive from U.S Hwy 26 on Buffalo Valley Road (then about 100 yards on a dirt road). This an awesome secluded spot right off the road in route to Turpin Meadows campground (which is paid camping). There are other campsites along the road but you will more than likely have neighbors parked right next to you.
This location will give you privacy without the road traffic or neighbors parked near you. You can stay at this site location for up to 16 days. There is a designated fire pit and the site overlooks the Buffalo Fork River. With a short walk you are able to see the Grand Tetons from the site. We were woke up by bugling Elk one of the mornings we stayed and saw a about 30 head coming into camp another night across the river. You will pass by many a handful of ranches in route to this location. We would have stayed longer as the site is absolutely beautiful overloading the valley There is no Verizon cell phone service at this location or other amenities.
