    Lower Rock Creek FR305 Dispersed

    Dispersed camping on road to Cave Falls

    Free. Coordinates: 44.09981,-111.17306. Camped here on Sept 21, 2024. Set back and above busy Forest Road 582 which heads toward Cave Falls; no issues with dust from forest road. Site is also referred to as Lower Creek Road Campground. Large site, should easily accommodate 3 rigs. A few spots are level. Up on a small hill above Rock Creek. Can't see the creek, but you can hear it. Dirt surface. Tent camping possible. Surrounded by tall trees, but open sky above. Site has a bear box and a rock fire ring. There is also an old lean-to near the fire ring. The access track is pot-holed; may be muddy. No hiking trails. No T-Mobile nor AT&T cell service. It's a nice site; nothing special. Good for a quiet overnight stay if visiting Cave Falls.

    Great for a night

    I wouldn't camp here for a few days, but this is great for a night's stay. Close to the park, 10 minutes on a good gravel road. Large area with a lot of space.

    Coolest Campsite I’ve ever stayed at

    This free dispersed site was absolutely unreal. We met the most amazing people and go to watch the sunrises, sunsets, thunderstorms and rainbows over the Tetons each and every day. Truly an amazing experience and I hope everyone can make it out here some day. We stayed at site #9 and honestly I think it’s the best site on the entire campground. Everyone was wondering how we snagged it and I said “get there earlier in the morning” haha. Enjoy:)

    Nice view of the Tetons

    Very peaceful, only one other camper near by for the first 5 days, then had the area to myself. Best view spots need decent clearance. Great view of some of the Tetons from the west side, overlooking the small town of Victor.

    Spot #5 was very nice

    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!

    Better Than Anything You Could Pay For

    Absolutely the best the USFS dispersed system has to offer. Unbeatable views, understanding site neighbors, attentive host, and all the peace and quiet you can tolerate. Be forewarned, after you drive all the way back to the dispersed site area, MOST of 40+ sites are up a steep, 4x4 required hillside, many aren’t level enough for tenting, and all are in bear country, but again- WORTH IT. Have been here 3x now and will be back.

    Popular and convenient

    This area seems to be very popular. It is very close to the Grand Tetons. There is spotty Verizon signal. Because it is very popular I would suggest larger rigs to arrive earlier in the day in order to get a spot. There seems to be an abundance of camping areas. I stayed here for three nights and was unable to camp at the same location each night. Great views and people around me were polite and quiet.

    Road Not RV Friendly

    The road is very rough. We drove up, but there were a lot of very rough patches. The place was full, so we continued on to find another area.

    Nice area

    We stayed in the first area of the road to the lake, pit toilet and camp host. Room for maybe 6 or 7 rv's and 4 tent van campers. Unfortunately at night if there is room someone will park in the spot.

    Not Dispersed

    Great spot for camping if you get there early and you don’t mind people driving by looking for spots at any hour. This area should not be advertised as dispersed camping, strict site camping with signs everywhere. We had to drive an hour+ up the road, requiring 4x4, to get to National Forest and legally camp. We slept in our car, uncomfortable with how much human traffic there was and the possibility of bears in camp. Make sure to properly store food, there are only site specific bear boxes after camp 1.

    That being said, it was a beautiful drive out in the morning and was a convenient location between Yellowstone and Grand Teton.

    Shadow Mountain - Dispersed Campsite #10

    Unbelievable Views

    Absolutely breathtaking experience camping in site #10a. We got there around 1-2pm and every spot was already filled except for 10a. We accidentally missed it the first time but caught it on our way back down. We went as far as site #17 before we turned around. Plan ahead. Get a spot early and put out some chairs/tables to mark it as yours if you have other plans for the day. It’s a dirt/rocky road uphill the whole way. We wanted to stay for 2 nights but it ended up raining the entire night and was forecasted to rain the entire next day so we moved on to the next location. Beware! If it rains, that dirt/rocky road turns into pure mud. I hydroplaned the whole 15-20ish minutes down. Thank god for downhill braking systems! Would I do it again for that view? You bet.

    Great Camping Area

    Stayed the last weekend of August. The area was amazing, moderate traffic but hardly any issues at night. The campground host Kevin was AWESOME and very attentive to all the sites. We had a nice view, no issues with bugs - just a mouse that was climbing ALL OVER the tent (: We would definitely stay here again. Road to get here is a little rough. Took my Subaru to the top point, definitely need more than a sedan to reach some areas! I believe we camped at #11. (Larger lot with the fire pit in the middle).

    Imposible to beat!!!

    Can’t believe we got to spent 4 nights in this spot! Lots of space with fire rings and an amazing view. Has a bear box if you need it.

    Shadow Mountain - Dispersed Campsite #10

    Beautiful but LOUD

    (October 6th, 2023) We got here late and squeezed into either 1A or 1C since everything else was taken, but the site was beautiful. We backed in between the trees for privacy and had a perfect, small area to ourselves, up until a big group of teenagers with multiple cars set up camp right around the corner (not in a designated spot). We knew it was a Friday night, and we could hear even more partying down the road, but we still wished for peace and quiet. In the morning, we walked down the road a bit to watch the sunrise reflecting off the Tetons. Even though our experience wasn’t perfect, it was gorgeous, so close to the park, and most importantly, free! I would definitely try to come earlier to get a more secluded site.

    Views & Brews

    (October 5th, 2023) Camped in the backyard of a brewery! Got here after dark and it wasn’t totally clear where to find the camp spots, but after some exploring we got to the best site (43.1666131, -111.0380217). Great beer (and bathrooms) were just a quick walk away!

    Remote

    (October 6th, 2023) Not sure how, but we got to spots 5-6 on the most damaged road I’ve ever been on. I wouldn’t even try again unless they’ve fixed it since last year! That being said, it was SO quiet and remote up there, we were actually afraid a bear was going to sneak up on us. Saw some mule deer, a fox, and so many stars at this beautiful site. We couldn’t see the Tetons themselves, but were surrounded by stunning views and forest, with not a single person in sight.

    Great spot off the beaten path

    Great spot down by river. Mostly sunny area but found this spot with shade. Rough rd coming in but camper van accessible. Rock fire ring. There are houses across river but this site is private from that . Only bad thing is it’s quite a little drive back here. At 2pm on a Sunday no one around so far.

    Very nice free campsites near Grand Teton NP

    This was a nice peaceful stay. Only about 15 minutes from the park entrance at Grand Teton and maybe about 45 minutes from Yellowstone NP. The place has a fire ring and also a bear food bin for food storage. And even a bathroom at the entrance of the camp site!

    Spread Creek dispursed Campsite #2

    We camped overnight at a site across the road from the gravel pit. It was a nice secluded site with views of the mountains. We thought we were lucky to get a spot so quick but after staying a night we found out why. Everyone who camped on that stretch had to go by our campsite. Trucks and campers going by at all hours of the night. I suggest you camp further up the road. As far as you can. The road is a gravel road and rough in spots but we made it fine in our truck. If you have a big RV, I suggest you camp in the first few spots or the gravel yard.

    Dispersed camping along Cliff Creek in Bridger-Teton National Forest

    very dispersed & off grid

    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! there are free range cutie cows along the road and I even woke up to a small herd by the tent which absolutely made my morning. no service but fairly close to Jackson which has everything you could need to restock on. some pretty gnarly potholes but overall a really well maintained road.
