Best Tent Camping near Grover, WY

300 Reviews
CAMPER SUMMARY PRESENTED BYFord

Several tent campgrounds surround the Grover, Wyoming area, providing backcountry camping opportunities in the scenic Wyoming landscape. Fisherman Creek Road offers dispersed camping with several established sites, while Lake Alice Campground provides a more secluded tent camping experience accessible via a 1.5-mile hike. Spring Creek Trailhead campground offers drive-in tent sites near the Greys River, with picnic tables and fire rings available.

Tent campers should note most sites have minimal amenities. Vault toilets are available at Tincup Campground and Lake Alice, but most dispersed sites lack facilities entirely. Fire rings exist at many locations, though seasonal fire bans may apply during dry periods. The dirt roads to dispersed camping areas can become difficult after rain or snow, with some requiring high clearance vehicles. Campers must pack in all water, as drinking water is not provided at any of these locations. Most campgrounds operate on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservations accepted.

Sites along Fisherman Creek Road provide ample separation between campers with established pull-offs that accommodate tent setups. Several locations offer shaded tent sites under tree cover, while others provide more open meadow camping. The primitive nature of these areas results in minimal light pollution for excellent stargazing opportunities. Walk-in tent sites at Lake Alice require more preparation but reward campers with greater solitude and pristine surroundings. A review noted, "Lake Alice is the most beautiful blue-green color" with good fishing opportunities for Bonneville Cutthroat Trout, especially during morning and evening hours. Campers should prepare for mosquitoes during summer months, as one visitor mentioned "the crazy amount of mosquitoes" at Fisherman Creek Road.

    Riverside Park Campground

    Riverfront spot

    This was perfect. I got a spot right on the bank of the Snake River. It has all the basics.. a picnic table, fire ring, most sites also have bear boxes for food storage; there are vault toilets, firewood for sale, and potable water available.

    $20/ night for sites, $40 for some sites that are double tables/parking.

    I didn’t have any neighbors, and I would guess maybe only a quarter of the sites were occupied. In the evening it did get a little annoying with lots of moth‘s flying everywhere. They seem to like to land on my white truck and I had to cover my food while I cooked, and kept the tent closed. Not a big deal, but they were noticeable.

    While not this campground per se I thought it’s worth mentioning that just across the river there are also a large number of free dispersed campsites, some right on the river, some along the road as you travel away from the river. To get to the bridge you still take the Riverside Campground exit off the highway below the damn. Pass the campground cross the bridge and you’ll see them on your right for about a mile. I didn’t stay there. It looks like they have firings and nothing else but they’re free and plentiful.

    Hoback Campground - Bridger Teton National Forest

    Nice, clean place, easy access

    Pro: easy access, right off the highway. Con: right off the highway, traffic noise. Located right off Hwy 189/191 about 8 miles from Hoback Junction the WEST side of the highway. I camped here for 1 evening before a Grand Teton summit trip. I chose this campground for decent proximity to GTNP (45 minutes away) and the availablity and easy access of sites. I believe there were 12 sites that all had picnic tables and fire rings. There were several other cleared sites, some without tables and grills, that had alpha identifiers other than the 12 numeric sites. Not certain how many alph sites, but looked like tent only sites. They were all $15 nightly and an additional $7 for extra vehicle. They had one site with electricity, right next to the camp host. this one site is $25 a night. The campground has pit toilets, bear boxes, water, dumpsters. The Hoback Runs next to several of the campsites. I would highly recommend getting as near the river as possible to drown out the noise from the highway. Camp hosts were very nice! I only had a $20 to pay my fee with. They brought $5.00 in change back to my campsite after I placed it in the depository. They have firewood for purchase for $6.00 a bundle. I was a runner up in a Dyrt camping contest last month. with my REI gift card I purchased the Big Agnes MountainGlo tent lights and a Sea to Summit sleeping bag liner. Fun to try these out!

    Granite Creek Campground

    Stunning views!

    Absolutely gorgeous campground with amazing hosts especially Ben the cat!!! Super quiet and sites are spacious and far enough away from others you still feel secluded. It is incredibly dark at night, I've never seen so many stars in the sky! No light pollution at all. I really wish I had brought my telescope. Very nice park approved fire rings at each site and firewood available for sale at the host lot. Also large bear resistant food boxes and large picnic table available at each site. Water is available to fill your fresh tank but there is no where to dump grey or black tanks so be mindful of that especially when you have to travel 8 miles down a rough dirt road. Hosts did however reccomend we could empty a couple buckets of grey water in the vault toilet if we had to and even offered to let us use one of their buckets. There are vault toilets available and bear resistant dumpsters. Also no cell service at all but I didn't mind. Beautiful waterfall and hot springs you can walk or drive to. Many beautiful trails to walk as well. This is real camping folks; no hookups, no wifi or cell service ...only fresh water and firewood available. Make sure to bring everything you need as it's nearly an hour from town. Generators allowed until 10pm. $15 a day and I believe it was a 16 day limit. First come first serve, no reservations.

    Allred Flat

    Peaceful, and Lots of Beaver Dams!

     Beautiful, quiet campground. We could hardly hear the road noise, especially from our spot at the furthest end of the loop at #18. We just showed up on a Wednesday and the entire place was empty but many people came throughout the evening. Some hiking trails along the creek where beavers have made extensive dams.

     Several sites are pull through sites, and we only saw a few random sites that had bear boxes. Each site had a picnic table and a fire pit, and was nicely separated from neighboring sites. Each site had a different configuration as well as parking pad length. 

    Anyone from tent campers to large trailers can easily find a spot, larger fifth wheels and class A rigs may have a bit of trouble finding a suitable campsite here. Sites, however are not very level. 3 sets of gendered handicap accessible vault toilets. At least one had a trash bag hanging inside. Otherwise no other trash bins at this campground. There are hand pump water faucets, but a sign said that water is not tested and water should be boiled or treated prior to drinking. We did not try the water but another camper said he pumped for about 30 times and no water came out. 

    Zero cell service for any of the 3 major carriers.

    Lake Alice

    Ranger Review: ICEMULE at Lake Alice Campground

    Disclosure: It is NOT 3.5 miles to the campground, it is 1.5 to the lake and another to .25 or so to the camping area on the east side of the lake. The app on my phone was screwy. Sorry for the confusion in my videos.

    Campground Review: For a primitive camping area this place is pretty sweet! They have metal fire rings with grills and there is an outhouse as well. The picnic tables are built of of half hewn logs. I did see that one of the tables at a site was badly broken, so everything is not in the best repair. There was also garbage left behind by the previous visitors which we packed out for them. The views more than make up for it, though! This lake is the most beautiful blue-green color. Lake Alice is home to the only pure lake strain of Bonneville Cutthroat Trout in Wyoming. We caught about 4 this trip but I wasn't quick enough with the camera to share any shots. We had to leave just as the fishing was getting good in the evening. Fish AM/PM, the wind can pick up in the afternoons, and temps rise making fishing not so great in the afternoon. Horseback riders are frequently in the area, so make way for them on the trail. We passed a string of about 8 riders going in further. You can trail ride through all the way to La Barge Creek Road. The campsite at the very beginning of the lake has a primitive corral for the horses. There are a few ambitious folks who have packed canoes into the lake. There are also some forest service water crafts locked away. Maybe if you had the right connections…It would be so fun to canoe this lake!

    If you continue along Poker Creek Trail that follows the east side of the lake, you can visit Mount Isabel which is 5 miles from the start of Lake Alice. Poker Creek Trail will reach LaBarge Creek Road at mile 9.

    Don'f forget to leave no trace! Picking up after others is frustrating.

    Gear Review: ICEMULE Coolers https://icemulecoolers.com/collections/pro-coolers/products/the-icemule-pro-large Occasionally the Dyrt will provide gear to demo on camping trips. I had the opportunity to demo the ICEMULE Pro Large Soft cooler. I have been using this cooler for a little over a month now and it has come along on a variety of adventures and has not failed! This was the longest trek I've carried the cooler. We went for a day trip into Lake Alice. The trail to the lake is 1.5 miles. I was able to pack the fully loaded cooler with lunch, drinks, and snacks for 4, into the lake comfortably. I loved that this cooler has the crisscross bungee cord to hold additional gear. It held my fly rod case snugly as we packed in. The cooler has a vent on the side, you can inflate the side walls to help extend the insulating factor of the cooler. It also helps it float! The bag rolls closed like a dry bag and clips closed. The shoulder straps are adjustable and there is a chest strop for a good fit. It worked just as good as a garbage receptacle as we packed out trash we found in the campground. #leaveitbetterthanyoufoundit

    Granite Creek Campground

    Big reward for rough road in

    Be sure to throttle it way down into low gear as the long in road is really rough! If you like remote with at least the basics of picnic tables, bear boxes, and fire pits, this is your place. The sites next to the creek are the nicest and most level, and all have bear boxes (and notices about mandatory food storage). While I didn't see any bears, there were quite a few mule deer in the meadow in the evening., and I had to kick elk scat out of my tent space before set up.The vault toilet was clean enough, but could have been better. The campground is very close to Granite Creek Hot Springs, a pool type hot spring with a fee to swim instead of a natural hot spring pool. Word is that there were some pools at the base of the falls, but I wan't up for the hike or the very cold fording of the "creek" as it was very full with spring runoff. The manager let me hop in to test the water (too cool for real enjoyment according to him), and didn't charge me when I got out after just 15 minutes. The whole time I was in the pool he was regaling a couple with his story of a grizzly killing an elk calf the week before a few miles away. He was quite the story teller, and had the video on his phone to prove it. It was a "grizzly" tale.

    East Table Campground

    Access to the Snake River

    Stayed here on Sept 18, 2024. Paid $10 with senior pass. Pretty campground. Lots of pine trees. Some pull-throughs and some back-ins. Gravel campground road; may be tight in places for big rigs. Sites are dirt surface. Some leveling required. Campground accommodates tents, car camping, vans and RVs. Don't recommend large towables. Hammock camping possible. More than one vault toilet; reasonably clean and stocked. Hand water pumps, but shut off. Trash dumpsters, but locked. Some sites have easy access to the Snake River for fishing. Each site has a table, bear box, metal fire ring, and grill. Highway noise, loud at times. $20 is too high for a national forest campground fee when the water is shut off and the trash dumpsters are locked. Site 9 is large but received some odor from the nearby vault toilet. Campground host was friendly. This campground is probably a destination campground for fly fishing on the Snake River; otherwise, it's just okay for an overnight stay.

    Big Elk

    Good campground

    No hookups but water faucets all over the camo. Very clean restrooms. Bear boxes at each site. The price is good, $26 for single sites. Most can accommodate RVs easily. The "lake"/reservoir is a very short distance away and when the water is low, late in season plenty of parking on shoreline. Jet skis and kayak friendly. Good fishing. Firewood was $6 a bundle from camp host. Good hiking trails in the area.

    Wolf Creek Campground

    Available

    Needed a for sure spot to camp for the night as it was getting late and this was what we came up upon. Large spots without hookups, did have fire rings, picnic table and bear proof food storage. Right off the road, so traffic was noisy. Camp host was gone the entire time we were there, but the firewood was left out with a bucket to pay and you can self pay with an envelope for your site.

    Bathrooms (no running water or electricity in restrooms) and water spicket were walking distance from our spot near the entrance.

    If you need a place to stay for the night on a road trip and you don’t want to risk trying for somewhere that might be full, this seemed to be a safe bet and was pleasant enough to camp out, cook dinner, and head out in the morning.

Guide to Grover

Dispersed camping areas surround Grover, Wyoming with access roads that can be navigated by most vehicles during dry conditions. Several primitive campsites extend beyond the main camping areas mentioned in local guides, offering isolation at elevations ranging from 6,000 to 8,000 feet. Seasonal temperature swings are significant, with summer days reaching the 80s but nights often dropping into the 40s even in July.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: Spring Creek Trailhead provides easy access to both Greys River and Spring Creek. According to Carrie C., "The Greys River is right near camp as well as Spring Creek. The Spring Creek Falls trailhead has a river crossing at the 2 mile mark, sign states it is 5 miles to the falls."

Hiking Wyoming Peak: The trailhead near Spring Creek Trailhead serves as a starting point for this popular hike. "Wyoming Peak was a wonderful hike, highly recommend! This summer has had the most amazing wildflowers!" notes a visitor who used the area as a base camp.

Wildlife viewing: Early mornings in the meadows near Fisherman Creek Road provide opportunities to see deer and sometimes cattle drives. One camper mentioned, "Nobody passed our campsite that whole evening, aside from a deer," while another noted encountering "a herd of cows blocking the road and some cowboys driving them."

What campers like

Secluded camping spots: Many dispersed sites offer significant privacy. A camper at Fisherman Creek Road shared, "This spot is absolutely beautiful! Only 1 other camper here and we only saw him when driving in and out. Perfect spot to be away from the crowds."

Spacious sites: Fisherman Creek Road features large camping areas that can accommodate various setups. "Found a large spot about a mile up the road, on the left side. The spot was large enough to turn around and easily maneuver the trailer," reports one visitor.

Limited traffic noise: The remote nature of many sites ensures quiet evenings. Dakota H. noted that despite some daytime activity, "It was quiet from 7 PM to 7 AM," while another camper mentioned, "Long dirt road with lots of trails leading to nice spots."

What you should know

Mosquito preparation: Summer brings significant insect activity to some areas. After camping at Fisherman Creek Road, one visitor warned, "The only downside was the crazy amount of mosquitoes. Bring bug spray!"

Limited amenities: Most sites require complete self-sufficiency. At Tincup Campground, Daniel W. confirms, "there's no amenities or anything," while Zach P. adds, "Just wish there was a little upkeep such a nice spot."

Fishing timing: For best results on alpine lakes, plan activities strategically. A Lake Alice visitor advises, "Fish AM/PM, the wind can pick up in the afternoons, and temps rise making fishing not so great in the afternoon."

Road conditions: Access roads to dispersed sites can present challenges after weather events. One camper noted, "The road was pretty good, even for our overloaded car and rented trailer," referring to Fisherman Creek Road during dry conditions.

Tips for camping with families

Less crowded weekdays: For a more relaxed experience with children, consider non-peak times. At Fisherman Creek Road, Tee C. reported, "There were many available campsites and it's not far from the main road at all. Really had the place to ourselves."

Cell service availability: Limited connectivity exists at some sites. One camper mentioned, "I had a bar of service via Verizon" at Fisherman Creek Road, which can be important for families needing occasional contact.

Nearby supplies: Proximity to small stores can be valuable for family camping. A camper noted the area is "About 5 miles west of Rim Station with an RV park and a little country store. Dump and fill station available there if needed. Owner is very kind!"

Tips from RVers

Site selection for larger vehicles: Many dispersed areas can accommodate RVs with proper planning. Dakota H. noted at Lake Alice, "The road and most of the campsites are fit for large RVs. Most spots have shade and fire rings."

Turnaround space: Look for sites with adequate room to maneuver. Donald B. who camped at Fisherman Creek Road mentioned, "Lots of large sites with fire pits and turnarounds. I went 2-3 miles to find an isolated site."

Campsite timing: Arriving mid-week improves your chances of finding suitable spots. One RVer shared, "We got there on a Thursday evening at about 8pm. Nobody passed our campsite that whole evening."
