    antelope springs campsites

    Great spot

    This spot has a great view of the Tetons, spots are somewhat close, but on a nice loop. Continued spots from the earlier 1-8 that had a bathroom. No bathroom here. Can get muddy but easy to drive in. Fire rings at each spot, can only camp at designated spots.

    Toppings Lake Dispersed Camping

    Tranquil

    Bumpy road but as bad as the right turn off. The left is more manageable but be aware of mud.

    Toppings Lake in Bridger-Teton National Forest

    Peaceful

    Very little traffic through this area. Seen 5 vehicles total with two others at the first right turn off. Very bumpy steep entrance not suitable for sedans or lower vehicles. I’m a Chevy express and made it up easily but watched a sprinter van reverse out.

    Shadow Mountain Dispersed Camping

    Nice campground, rough road in

    We stayed here for a few nights in Oct and it rained for half the time we camped. The road in was bumpy when we got here but got worse as the rain came down. Most of the campsites that we could get to with our camper are right next to each other, but there are actually 20 something campsites. Most are in the mountain. Overall, the views are awesome and the location is good for sightseeing. It was about 20 minutes off the main highway and paved up until the camping entrance road.

    Yellowstone Grizzly RV Park and Resort

    Nice spot

    Very friendly and accommodating people work here. Very clean showers, bathrooms and showers. Small lots so no camp fires or wood burning; charcoal and propane is ok. Plastic like table tops so you cannot cook directly on top unless you use a barrier to protect the tables. Liked the place so much I extended the stay.

    Grassy Lake Reservoir Dispersed Camping

    Grassy Lake Reservoir Dispersed Campsite

    This spot was STUNNING! We were in a Mercedes sprinter van and easily pulled into the spot. There was a fire ring overlooking the reservoir and sunset was beautiful. The roads to the site were gravel and easily drivable for most rigs. It took about 40 minutes (driving slower). Probably wouldn’t take a large camper because you do have to go down a steep hill with tree coverage to get there. There’s also Flagg ranch campground close by with gas and convenience store. Short drive to both the Tetons and Yellowstone!
