Best Equestrian Camping near Grand Teton National Park

This campground has some absolutely beautiful scenery as you would expect in Grand Teton National Park. It has access to river rock beaches with swimming at Colter bay, restaurants and gift shops (which we did not have time to explore), so much hiking and exploring you can do and yellowstone is in driving distance.

They are first come first serve so arrive early to get your spot as they fill up fast, even on weekdays. We left on a Friday at 6am before they opened for check in (in August) and when we left people were already in line in their cars waiting to get spots.

We were in loop B with a small trailer. Moderately private sites with fire ring, bear proof food safe, picnic table. Bathroom and water in easy walking distance.

Turpin Meadow Campground was a happy stumble-upon for us. We went to the Tetons and had no idea how crazy busy it would be, so were forced out of the park to find a place to stay. 

Truthfully, this campground wasn't much, and was kind of difficult to get to (at least the way we went in). It fulfilled all that we wanted it to do though. A place to park our car and utility trailer for the night and wake up early to go into the park. There was water and vault toilets on site, so that was nice. 

This is actually right next to (or apart of?) an equestrian park with lots of horses and horse corrals all around. It was truthfully a little spooky hearing the horses start to whinny in the middle of the night, but we got over that.

Stayed in mid-June when Yellowstone and Teton were brimming with tourists. We had booked a back-up RV spot near the south entrance to Teton, but after looking at it just filled our water there and left (it was basically an open field with 50 of your not best friends in RV's blasting music). Took a chance on Pacific Creek. All of the dispersed camping was taken, but the campground itself, which is at the end of the road, was about empty. For $10 we got a spacious site, table and fire ring. Water was available as were pit toilets. Looks like a great equestrian campground and we saw a few parties with horses. Make sure you make use of the bear boxes, as we saw plenty of bear prints and other sign within 200 yards of our site. Lovely trails leave right from here. The camp host is a Swiss ex-musician and all around nice guy.
