"Great spot on the outskirts of both Grand Teton and Yellowstone Parks. we stayed in a cabin which was very cozy and clean."

"Surrounded by trees perfect for hammocks. Great designated, flat tent pad. Walking distance to the lake. Not too close to the shops but still close enough to walk to."
"We were a minute walk away from the lake and a perfect view of the mountains. They had a great general store with decent prices for being the only store around."

"The camp host was so kind, we stayed in site #11 which is near the creek and by horses the trail riding place occasionally keeps there. My daughter loved petting the horses."
"Stayed here to be closer to Yellowstone’s south entrance but avoid the crowds."
"Set back behind the Grand Teton Mountains. Camp sites are primitive, no water, toilets or other amenities. Camped next to Grassy Lake Reservoir, beautiful lake nestled in the mountains."
"We camped along Grassy Lake Rd on the way to Yellowstone from the Tetons. The first 7-10 sites are developed and have trash/bathrooms at each site. Some have 2-3 sites at each camp."
"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"
"Fire wood was available for purchase ($6) in case you couldn’t find wood around the campsite, but we were able to scrounge to find plenty. The best part about the campground were the bathrooms."

"A little ways off the highway comes a dispersed camping area near Turpin Meadows."
"Not many spots but found one when I arrived around 6pm. Not positive but I think there are more tent campsites that you can walk to but not drive in at the end/bottom of the road."
$35 - $45 / night
"Trapper lake has some beavers and pretty mellow. On top of the hill at the site gives you another great view. There is a Bear Box for food storage here."
"This is actually right next to (or apart of?) an equestrian park with lots of horses and horse corrals all around."
"There was a small herd of horses roaming with bells to deter the bears. I was able to get food at the nearby lodge. Very quiet, away from the traffic of the national park. "
"Bear boxes, rock fire ring, nice pit toilet, a frame to hang food, and horse camping too. Appears to be 4 established sites and a possible dispersed site near the horse area."
"Heard someone nearby shooing away an animal nearby. About a 20 minute drive from the turnoff, roads were fine in my 2wd Honda. Nice and secluded spots, mine was by a little creek"
$15 / night
" Eagle Creek is a USFS campground just about 5 miles outside of the eastern entrance of Yellowstone."
"Campground review: This is a small, clean campground very close to Gardiner, MT. Each site has a fire ring and picnic table, and sites are level and grassy so tent camping is comfortable."
GuideTurpin 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.
GuideStayed 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.
ScoutA little ways off the highway comes a dispersed camping area near Turpin Meadows. There are nearby and accessible vault toilets and horse areas but for the most part, these camping spots are few and far between. There are several shaded spots without a view but that keep you free from the heat of summer and a couple more exposed spots that are very warm during the day but reward you with some incredible views. Easy access to both Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park as well as some great hiking in the area. Would definitely return!
GuideStayed here one night while bikepacking on the Tour Divide route. Multiple sites were open and the camp hosts were very friendly. They ensured I knew about the potential for bears and answered a few questions about the area. Each site had a bear box. There was a small herd of horses roaming with bells to deter the bears. I was able to get food at the nearby lodge. Very quiet, away from the traffic of the national park. Great nights sleep and beautiful morning.
LegendHeadWaters Rv campground is located in the perfect place right between Yellowstone and The Tetons. Perfect for exploring both Parks. The cell service is pretty spotty, but it’s great to just put down your phone and enjoy your surroundings. It is only 5 minutes walk from the campground to Snake River access. Fires are allowed at this campground. There are Rv, tent, and cabins to stay at. The cabins in the camp area are small but have full sized bunk beds and a desk and dresser. These cabins do not have water or electricity, but there are other cabins with power up the road. The tent and Rv spots are on gravel with lots of shade, a picnic table, and fire ring. Rv sites are Electric and water. There are so many activities to do. Along with the activities they have every day there is horse riding, guided fly fishing, hiking trails for everyone, bus tours, jr. rancher classes and so much more Also on site at the campground is a dish washing area next to the clean bathrooms and showers. There is a propane fill, fresh water fill, restaurant, gift shop, ATM machine, gas station, and bear boxes. I would definitely recommend this campground for any duration of trip.
GuideWe luckily found this gem of a campsite after looking in Yellowstone all day, we didn’t get here until later in the afternoon so I was very thankful to finally have somewhere to put up the tent. The camp host was so kind, we stayed in site #11 which is near the creek and by horses the trail riding place occasionally keeps there. My daughter loved petting the horses. Perfect spot between both parks, and we went and played in Snake River which the kids also loved. Gas station not far in case you need last minute things. Definitely recommend!
TravelerStayed here to be closer to Yellowstone’s south entrance but avoid the crowds. It’s a beautiful place - pristine single toilet, extremely friendly camp host, horses, nice neighbors and a pretty night sky. We arrived around 1pm on a summer Sunday night and got one of the last two spots in this small campground. About an hour into the heart of the park. Just beware of construction on the road further north (as of July 2023)
RangerMid week during mid September and everything was pretty full, so we made the trek out of Tetons and up to this site. The sign at the road says trailhead, but if you keep making your way up, you’ll get to the sites. Bear boxes, rock fire ring, nice pit toilet, a frame to hang food, and horse camping too. Appears to be 4 established sites and a possible dispersed site near the horse area. It was very quiet and peaceful. There’s a map at the front showing all the trails that Box Creek connects to. Also, we saw dumpsters on the road in/out, not far from the turnoff.
GuideGreat spot on the outskirts of both Grand Teton and Yellowstone Parks. we stayed in a cabin which was very cozy and clean. A double bunk beds with a mattress, a desk and chairs and dresser. warm showers and bathrooms within walking distance. A hiking trail that follows snake river is not that far from ranch. Pricing at the grocery store and convenience store a bit high, $16 total for s’mores, so shop before. Activities available for youth and adults.
