Camping near Grand Teton National Park

1,661 Reviews

Grand Teton National Park has different camping spots that fit what you might want. Gros Ventre Campground inside the park is close to hiking trails and has big sites where you can see the mountains all around you. Spread Creek Dispersed Campground gives you a more basic camping setup without the usual facilities you'd find at regular campgrounds. The land here is really beautiful, but the weather can change quickly, especially in spring and fall. You might need a truck or SUV with good clearance to reach some places like Lower Creek Road Campground because the roads aren't smooth. During summer it gets busy, so try to show up early if you want to find a spot. You can camp in winter too, but make sure you bring warm gear since it gets really cold. You'll find both regular campgrounds and places to camp on your own throughout Grand Teton National Park.

    Upper Teton View Dispersed

    Incredible views

    We stayed in a lot that had 2 marked spots but on Labor Day weekend that turned to 4. There was plenty of space for everyone and we shared the bear boxes. We could see the peak of the grand Teton through the trees from our spot. Quick drive into Moose to enter the park.

    Just after the steep, curved part of the road in, there is a lot with many spots where you have the best view of the Tetons. This was full when we arrived on Friday afternoon of Labor Day weekend so we found our spot further up the road (21A), and this lot was completely empty when we arrived. We had an awesome weekend staying here!!!

    Colter Bay Campground at Colter Bay Village - Grand Teton National Park

    Dump station

    We came to use the dump station after boondocking in the area. It is $10 to dump. When you arrive in colter bay turn right at the four way stop and then take an immediate left into the Rv Park. The office is on your left where you pay and you can also pay to fill propane. Make the loop through the park to turn around and turn left out of the RV park to go to the campground where the dump is. There is also potable water on the main road of the campground.

    Spread Creek Dispersed Campground

    Perfect for everyone!

    Spread Creek sounds like the perfect place for a quiet, back-to-nature escape—those creek sounds at night must be so calming! I always find that after a long day outdoors, simple and wholesome food hits the spot. It actually reminds me of when I stop by Sweetgreen after a hike—their fresh salads and bowls feel just as refreshing as time spent in nature. Both give that“clean and recharged” vibe. Definitely adding this campground to my list for the next Wyoming trip!

    Shadow Mountain Dispersed Camping

    Best view of the Tetons

    By far the best camping views of the Tetons. If it had rained 4x4 is needed. Other than that get there early because the good ones fill up quick.

    Sheffield Campground

    Chilly Nite in Sept

    Brrrrr! Temps got down to below freezing overnight. No fee to camp @ this time of year; campground was nearly full, but sites spread out for privacy. There is only a single pit toilets appear for entire CG and it was out of paper— bring your own! Although below freezing in the early morning hrs, temps were 80° in the afternoons. Location is not too far off of main road between Teton & Yellowstone NPs.

    Colter Bay Tent Village at Colter Bay Village — Grand Teton National Park

    Review of “Colter Bay Tent Village / Create” A Camper’s Take

    “This Colter Bay Tent Village Review/ Create captures the essence of what makes a campsite great— nature, comfort, and a sense of discovery. The amenities you mention look solid, and I hope there’s convenient car parking nearby, because nothing spoils a camping trip more than struggling to park when arriving with gear. Thanks for sharing your experience!”

    Forest Road 30442

    Nice views

    5 or 6 sites just on the outside of the National Elk Refuge. Flat Creek runs below the sites. Some traffic of people going into the Bridger Teton NF but quiet otherwise. Clean too and beautiful views of the Tetons especially from site 1. Road coming in was fine and don’t need high clearance.

    Moose Creek Trailhead Dispersed Area

    Chilly in Sept

    Close to the Hwy over Teton Pass; but the last mile is clay road & (b/c of recent rain cell) it coated our vehicle. And, this is the trailhead; we encountered pack horses coming off the trail— they were quick to load & be gone. l””"””””We realized that the site we’d chosen under the trees was rather chilly, especially with the retreating sun. (Elevation was not totally realized by us since it was rather gradual.). We moved to where the horse trailer had been parked in a site w/ turn-around and were cosy ‘til the sun retreated. Temps estimated in 30s overnight. There was 1 other campervan using this area but then a couple passenger cars came in later.

    Sheffield Campground

    My favorite Yellowstone campground

    What a great campground. Primitive, but it does have a pit toilet, picnic tables and bear boxes. Most of the sites are in pretty wide open meadows. A few have more trees and there are horse corrals and two secluded sites next to them. We stayed in #3, one of the more treed sites with plenty of room for our tent, and loved it! The camp hosts were awesome! The place was spotless and they sold firewood for less than anyone else. We were only planning on staying one night, but liked it so much, we stayed 3! The Creek was right behind our site and was fun to check out. A commercial campground is next door that has horse trail rides. Great fishing in the river a short walk from the campground. Location is the gem here, being only 2.5 miles from the south entrance to Yellowstone and 10 miles north of Grand Tetons!  September was a great time to visit. No mosquitoes! It was cold at night (25  degrees) so plan accordingly! With high R-value pads and 0 degree bags we were toasty.
