Camping near Grand Teton National Park

1,642 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.

    Forest Road 30310 Dispersed Campsite

    Grand Tetons stay

    Stop at this location after we went through Yellowstone and Grand Tetons. Went past the lower lot and up the hill and took the road to the left. It's rocky and some what step. Our for Ranger and Teardrop went up it just fine in two wheel drive, but at a point, I thought we might have to use it. We parked in site 5 on a corner of two trails. Made it just before sunset on the Tetons.

    Curtis Canyon Dispersed Camping

    Nice spots, flies are insane

    Busy area, but had no issue finding a spot on a weekday before 3pm. Road of course gets busy early the morning and late at night. Some spots have a view and good cell coverage, others not so much. These spots are beyond the developed campground and reserved host site. I think people are over dramatic about the road, but can see why people would skip this for that alone.

    The flies were super annoying even on a cool, breezy day. Maybe they just liked my bug spray, I'm not sure. But with the current fire ban, I spent most of my time at these sites indoors.

    We all visit this amazing place

    I had an amazing time during my stay at Spread Creek Dispersed Campground last summer! It was very calm to fall asleep to the sound of the creek, and the views Movie Box of the meadow. There is plenty of space and a true back-to-nature feel, which makes it charmingly rustic. While exploring, I actually found information about this place , and I'm happy I did—I'm definitely intending to return!
