Primitive camping is allowed in the Half Moon area along Pole Creek only.
Primitive camping sites exist along Pole Creek within the WHMA. The area provides access to adjacent U.S. Forest Service lands and little Half Moon Lake where additional recreational opportunities exist.
The trail begins with a small ATV bridge across the creek from a dispersed campsite and parking area just on the west of Greys River, about 46 miles upriver from Alpine, Wyoming. It provides motorized access for 2 miles, then becomes a horse/hiking trail that connects to the Way Trail, or over the top to Sheep Pass. Spring Creek Falls is an attraction.
The North Fork Sheep Creek trail begins from the north side of Sheep Creek Road, FS 10125 and provides access to the 70 mile Wyoming Range National Recreation Trail.
Trails 3092 and 3093--Little Greys and Pickle Pass--start at the end of Little Greys River Road and lead visitors to the Wyoming Range National Recreation Trail. Trail 3076 brings people to the Deadman Peak Fire Lookout.
The Bailey Creek trail is 9 miles long (one-way), and travels across the watershed divide to scenic Bailey Lake then continues down to the Snake River. Its source to the Snake River is designated as a national Wild and Scenic River. The trailhead for the Bailey Creek trail offers several areas for dispersed camping as well as plenty of parking. Alternatively, access by fording or boating the Snake River from the Elbow is also possible late in the season.
The Willow Creek Area offers some great backcountry exploring for hiking, horse-back riding, hunting and biking. Willow Creek itself is a Wild and Scenic River, having protection for it's water quality, flows and historic and scenic values far into the future.
_ Welcome to the Snake River Canyon _ The Upper Snake River is known worldwide for it’s crystal clear waters, unique geology, numerous recreation adventures, and amazing varieties of wildlife. The ability to experience wild water, world-class fishing, great hiking, and memorable camping are just a few of the reasons we all visit the Snake River Canyon. The privilege of use carries the responsibility to help care for this unique watershed. Your actions leave an impression on the river and on other people. The most important thing you can bring to the river is an attitude of cooperation and consideration for wildlife and other river users. Adherence to rules and ethics regarding responsible use and a friendly demeanor towards others will leave a positive impression that will prevent the need for more restrictions. Together we can work together to protect this remarkable recreation resource we call the Snake River. Each summer from the June to August, the portion of the Snake River between South Park Bridge and Sheep Gulch hosts over 200,000 visitors. This is an extremely crowded and sought after section of the Snake River due to the great variety in boating challenges, fishing opportunities and beautiful scenery. In an effort to alleviate some of the crowding, the Jackson Ranger District river program requires special use permits for non-commercial groups over 15 people and for institutional outfitters. If you are a single kayaker, or a small group we encourage you to help us further reduce congestion by launching at East Table or Elbow boat ramps rather than at West Table boat ramp. East Table boat ramp is specifically a “no-trailer” site to help reduce congestion and the no trailer rule is strictly enforced for this purpose. Check the water levels before you go. The river can be very different depending on how high or low the water is, creating new challenges every day. Get current river flows and make sure your skills and experience are ready for what the river has to offer for the day. Before your trip make sure you know what the river is running like. Even though you may have floated this portion of the Snake many times, the water levels and conditions may differ. Making sure your skill and experience level matches that of the section you plan on floating and bringing plenty of safety equipment including suitable life jackets, throw ropes, spare warm clothing, etc. can help make for a successful float. Check out our safety informationbefore you go. There are several river accesses and campgrounds along the river. If you are launching a boat, you are required to use the existing boat ramp facilities at access points. Please browse our Activities list below for river access sites and campgrounds along the Snake River.
Nothing fancy , amenities and super friendly staff here to help you have a pleasant stay
This is an interesting place, right close to town, but isolated in a draw, so feels like you’re out in the boonies. Stars at night are beautiful with little light pollution. Full hook ups, but we were in a site that they tell you on the website has low water pressure so we knew. The sites that are lower have better pressure, I guess. I had loaded our tank before staying anyway, so no big deal. We were in site 1a, which was a pull through site. The back in sites have plenty of room to back into, so when we go again I would probably reserve one of those instead. There is access to trails to the back country to the north, so a great place to bring an ATV and explore.
No trees or grass, but not a big deal to us. The landscape is scenic. Their website says the scenery from 1a is not as good as the other sites, but we liked it.
Had to drive almost an hour in upper gro ventre road but near the end of the road we found a secluded campsite near the river. Great fishing!!
Very nice little off-ish grid campground in Wyoming. The camp host is super nice and there is water spaced out around the campground. All in all a nice place for only an hour south of Jackson Hole. Verizon At&t and Tmobile all had reception.
Like others have said, the pin seems incorrect. Go up the road another five minutes or so and you'll find the main area. About a half dozen sites there with room for trailers, a bathroom, and a game meat hanger thing. Utterly gorgeous. I got there around dark, and the colors were otherworldly. Also same for the drive in. Mountains that make animators look like fools.
The site was awesome. Very buggy, as it was summer & next to a river, but get over it. Stars to die for. The milky way was very bright. Couldn't find the other sites on the map tho. Probably just didn't drive far enough.
Long dirt road with lots of trails leading to nice spots. The road and most of the campsites are fit for large RVs. Most spots have shade and fire rings. I came in late July and there were lots of motorcycles and ATVs. It was quiet from 7 PM to 7 AM.
Toilette available and clean.
We called & were lucky to get one of the last spots for the night with full hook ups. The hosts were super friendly. The restrooms were spotless & spacious- lots of attention to detail with clothes hooks & benches. The grounds were very clean & well kept. They even have a leash free clean dog park. We couldn’t have asked for a better one night stay!
We took a spin through this USFS campground but decided not to stay. The price seemed too high to us at $20. The campground was crowded and though there were plenty of sites available, there were just so many big groups of people who seemed to be set up for a long stay which gave the campground a noisy, busy vibe. The sites were nice though, lush and green and many of them right along the river. Sites were fairly private and included a bear box and picnic table and fire pit. There are pit toilets here, and trash dumpsters and a propane cylinder recycling bin (no other recycling available). Water spigots throughout the campground as well. No cell reception for either ATT or Verizon. There is a host on site.
We stayed here the night before our weekend trip to Jenny Lake in Grand Teton National Park. We were able to follow the directions easily from The Dyrt app, and road was easy to navigate with a minivan. We found a nice flat area where another car was parked. Site even had a fire pit. Lots of mosquitos, but common for this area. Great find!
A stunningly gorgeous campground 9 miles up the gravel road. 2wd F150 did just fine but it didn't rain much. Saw some passenger cars but they didn't have an easy time of it in the county regrading of the road.
Had no problems with wildlife but the site host did a great job of making sure everyone had been keeping a clean camp.
This area is a wide open no shade glacial pothole lake. There are free designated, kind of, campsites around the lake. Couple places to launch a boat and four vault toilets scattered around. No trash dumpsters, no water, but fair to good cell signal depending on your location. Only a few miles outside of Pinedale on nice graded gravel roads. 14 day camping limit is posted.
We arrived past dark. Poorly lit and could not determine the sites so we opted for dispersed area which was also difficult to navigate. Website was attractive. No management on site. Left payment in drop box. Large campground map at entrance wasn’t drawn according to actual view from the map so it was not helpful. One bathroom on private property inside attached building. Weird but there was hot water. Potable water turned off for season. In daylight, pretty stream & bluff nearby. Quiet campground.
All around it was wicked awesome
It took me about 90 minutes once I hit the unpaved portion of the road. Very rough. Averaged about 5 to 10 mph. I have a 4x4 van. I did see a Subaru coming the other way. Would not want to travel this road if it was wet and muddy.
However, the campground and surrounding area are beautiful. Lots of hiking nearby around the lake and into the Winds. The sites are fairly private and spread out. The clean vault toilets are like little log cabins. There was only a handful of sites occupied while I was there in mid-October.
The very long gravel road to get here is terrible but 100% worth it! Doable in a 2WD but recommend 4WD. The campsites are semi private and there is lots so dont be worried! The surroundings are beautiful and the lake is a short walk which is nothing less of stunning. Would definitely revisit.
This was a great stay while visiting Teton National Park. While 1 hour from the closest entrance, it was more like 1.5 hours to the more popular Teton areas.
For $65, we felt it was a bit pricey but the amenities made it worth it. We had a beautiful corner spot by the river, had full hookups, and they even offered higher blocks for our jacks at the spot. Brand new fire pits, with wood to purchase on site, and an ice cream social on Sunday evening. The hosts were very friendly too. We were sad to leave!
If you have the time, highly recommend the National Museum of Military Vehicles nearby - it was Smithsonian level! We spent hours there! We also visited the Cowboy Cafe for breakfast which was wonderful too.
This is a wide open dispersed location along the Green River. You might be competing with free grazing cattle, but they're respectful. It's a beautiful spot. The road in is washboard, so be patient.
Very well kept camp spots. Each has a fire pit with grill on it. Our spot, 16, has a beautiful view of the mountains on the other side of the highway. Only downside, is the road noise from being so close to the highway. Pit toilets and water are available, we paid $20 for a single spot in September. Very close to the Snake River too
This spot is a bit tricky to find on the map but on Google maps the road is called "SOUTH fall creek road”. Hopefully that is helpful!
We just finished a 2 night stay and it was breathtaking. 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.
Teton County rangers popped by as we were leaving but that was about it.
Road is minimum maintenance so it's a tight fit but we got a class A with trailer and a 36ft bumper pull back past the creek crossing. I do not recommend crossing the creek and going right in anything that size unless you are a VERY skilled driver. Up until then, it's just a dirt road so, no biggie.
Quiet site in the Pinedale area, so that's a positive. It's also by a creek, so you have fishing and water. This area is used for fishing, hunting, trapping, camping, hiking, and wildlife viewing.
It’s a rough drive in down the last road. I recommend high clearance, 4WD even better. The main road in is improved gravel and easy, but there are hairpin turns on the hill, so I don't recommend long rigs or long 5th wheels. I went in with a regular clearance front wheel drive, but it was dicey.
Very clean, tidy site with plenty of space. Extremely helpful owner helped us sort something with another part of our trip.
If you want to see clear rivers and beautiful scenery this is the spot to hit! Tons of free camping spots along the way up a long gravel road till the actual campground. Beautiful spots along the river and 1 mile down the road from a GORGEOUS waterfall. Hot spring offered as well but looked more like a pool lounge. Would be fun with a group of people. Campground was quiet and well maintained. Plenty of foliage around for fires. Host paid a friendly visit which was nice! Fit our 33’ pull behind.
This is camping at its finest. Tons of options to choose from that have different levels to the amount of ruggedness you want your camping to be. We found a spot on the creek and tucked away. It’s best country so be prepared with proper food storage and spray.
I almost wish we were staying longer than one night. Pool, mini golf, great camp store. Site along Wind River plenty of room absolutely beautiful!
Easy drive up campsites. Level parking
