Best Dispersed Camping near Dubois, WY

Hi Campers! 

We stopped in this part of the National Forest on our way to Yellowstone by way of Jackson Hole, WY. The access is off of HWY 191. You turn West onto Cliff Creek Rd/Forest Rd 30530 and follow Cliff Creek to many dispersed coming sites. 

This is open range so be aware that there are cattle grazing. Plus, it is of course bear country...so know how to stay safe! 

We stayed here one night so that we could get on the road again in the morning. We found a nice secluded site. It was pretty close to the creek (there are closer sites but they were taken already) and you could easily walk there to get into some fly fishing. 

Our photos are from driving and getting close to the camping area. When we got there it was pretty close to getting dark (just one photo from the site) and we left really early to get on the road. 

We'll stop here again if we're in the area! Can't beat free dispersed camping!

Found on Google Maps Free dispersed camping in allowed areas.
There are a few fire rings and a pit toilet.
There were quite a few campers but was actually quiet.
Beautiful sunset over the Tetons.

Great spot on forest service road. Able to park right next to the creek. Lots of spots on the road with fire rings. Free dispersed camping with a great view of the mountains. Hiked to the top of the mountain on the left side coming in. Great views of the valley from the top. Our spot was spot on level, no need to unhook the TT from the truck.

This area is noted as the backpacker parking area to access the wilderness trails above Boulder Lake. It is just outside of the developed Boulder Lake CG. However this area is also a popular free dispersed camp area for TTs and RVs as the regular campground is a bit tight for larger TTs and RVs and the loop Rd in the campground is terrible. So folks camp out here on the open flat grassy area, and as a bonus there is a grassy boat launch area good for kayaks and other water craft. No potable water, no toilets, no trash dumpsters, no tables or fire rings. 14d limit and the rangers do come around to check I hear. There is a toilet up the hill at the packstock staging parking area.

This is a great location if you are exploring the Teton/Jackson area. It's a little far to camp here and then go to Yellowstone.

There are a lot of camping spots that are dispersed to choose from, but keep in mind that even with the low amount of reviews here it's a well known spot to locals.

We stayed here in June and finally found a spot after passing dozens of filled ones, only to see about half a dozen other vehicles drive by looking for somewhere to park.

This is true back-country camping, pack in and pack out. No potable water is available and no facilities so be prepared with all your needs before coming here. Also note that this is bear country so be prepared with food and smell management to limit attracting them in.

The Sunset over the Tetons was amazing and we would stay here again in the future.

We stayed in a lovely dispersed camping site on Mosquito Creek road in Wilson, Wyoming.  Some of the campsites have views of the creek and are very private.  All sites are very private.  

The road to get there, as is usual with dispersed camping, is very bumpy and 4WD is recommended.  

Our friend saw a large black bear after leaving our site.  It is also moose territory.

Gorgeous, private, but with no bathrooms or amenities at all.

Even though there is no water, bathrooms, or other amenities, it is free.  And it is a few short minutes to the town of Jackson Hole.

Bonus:  we have cellular reception enough that I could make calls and send emails (Not strong enough to send pics and stream though).

The sites are down such a long road that I almost didn't believe they really existed, but I'm glad I persisted in driving all the way to the coordinates! Beautiful dispersed campsites right next to Whiskey Creek and some well-maintained hiking trails in the national forest and wilderness area. Wish i could stay longer. Also, I saw a bighorn sheep!

Those who enjoy simple, rustic camping with breathtaking natural views will love Spread Creek Dispersed Campground. Although it's a quiet retreat due to its open layout and close proximity to the creek, guests should be prepared due to the absence of facilities. Although Teton views and wildlife encounters contribute to the area's allure, its popularity can make it crowded during certain hours. Remember to bring bug repellent and arrive early for the best spots if you're going out there, Magis TV APK .

We stayed at site 10 on Forest Service road 30290. No markings on the road. Good gravel road until you hit National Forest. There is a very large gravel parking lot area for big rigs. We have a 24’ toyhauler. We stayed right and followed the road down until a T, then went left. And came across site 10. It already had a camper in it and had plenty of space. The current occupants were not keen on sharing but took our name and number if they were going to leave. We shortly got a text saying we could stay. They ended up leaving that day while we were out. Everyday since then other people have squished into our site. Every time we leave, we come back to more people. There is space but several people seam to share one spot. I guess it’s ok, but it is kinda weird people don’t even ask. It’s hard because we boondock for space and because we have a dog. But everyone is friendly so we decided may as well make friends. Fingers crossed nobody blocks us in.

This is the perfect dispersed camping area for when you forget to book a campsite in advance and every other option nearby Yellowstone/Tetons is on a closed road 😂 Bear box provided, fire pits in some areas, several campsites available

We were lucky to find an open spot. There are 14 campsites dispersed down a four mile long gravel road. Part of the National Forest. Great views of the Tetons from several sites. We made it to the end of the road in our 38’ motorhome with tow vehicle attached. Just drive slow. Kids had a blast playing along Spread Creek. Tons of mosquitoes, so bring lots of bug spray. Had AT&T cell service and Verizon. Probably my favorite spot to camp on our recent trip, other than those darn mosquitoes.

We drove around for 3.5 hours looking for a campsite for a last minute trip to Grand Teton over Labor Day. This was the ONLY place we could find that had any camping spots left, and even then we had to drive pretty far back into the woods to get there. "Spread" creek dispersed campground is a very accurate name! Many of the camping spots were enormous- big enough for several campers or tents- and there was a LOT of driving space between each site, so you really feel secluded.

Nice Dispersed Camping. Doesn’t have Grand views of the Tetons but has nice grassy level areas and spots by the creek. If you run stuck there are big grassy sites in the back that could easily accommodate multiple campsites. Some rough road but you’ll be fine with an SUV/truck. Bring bug spray!

For some reason campsites 1-3 aren’t showing up for me but 4-7 are close enough to garner a review of this spot: the camp sites are perfect for free camping for less than a 10 minutes drive away from the Grand Teton park entrance. No fees to camp here, amazing views, fire pits provided with bear storage too. No toilets however so you’ll have to dig a 4-6 foot hole to bury your scat if you’re not in an RV. Still gets very chilly in the summer so bring layers, the night I camped out here got to 37 degrees Fahrenheit

Easy access to sites 1-13a for most rigs Teton views from sites 1-4 and 10. Sites 5-9 near creek. No turn around until sites 10-13. Great option for free camping but very popular

We camped just before this road and got a spot that was private off the road. Lots of dispersed camping off the main road in the bridgerton- Teton Forrest.

Dispersed Camping space #5 was very nice. We decided to pull our 29' travel trailer only partway into the space to find the most level spot. But we still had some 4 acres all to ourselves! The mosquitos were not fooling around though!

Shadow mountain dispersed camping has approximately 15 sites in designated areas along a back gravel road that is not for everyone. Site 10 is shared with 10A but site 9 is also along the ridge but more private. Other sites along the road are completely private. Best camping view ever.

This BLM recreation area has 12 designated FREE dispersed campsites along the Green River. The sires are off of a good gravel graded BLM road that dead ends at sites 12a-b. Most of these camps have their own vault toilet, tables, fire rings and grass boat launch areas for the drift boat, raft and kayak crowd. However none of them have any cell service but if you get back up to the main BLM road on top there is cell service if you can see the cell towers.

Great 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.

Open grassy area in Aspen close to paved road. This is at the bottom of the primitive FS road #747 that goes up to Kelly Park meadow, however the road has had new water bars installed so only high clearance vehicles can go up to the higher elevation meadow. The dispersed camping is at the lower end. No marked sites, water or trash and cell signal is dependent on your camp. Dirt two-tract road is ok for TTs and RVs. Pinedale is about 8 mi.
