"Around 630 it appeared all the sites were full as we saw a lot of vehicles heading back down the road. So I'd suggest getting there fairly early."
"There are 27 sites, some with A and B locations. 4-6 is on the right side of the Y, 7-27 on the left. We drove around looking at all of the spots and Site 27 was unreal."
"Didn't have high hopes to find anywhere near Tetons on a Sunday afternoon, originally had plans to camp near Moran, but glad I gave Shadow Mountain a chance. We arrived Sunday 6/30/24 at 3pm."
"No toilets except for the one at the south entrance, before heading up. Road is very rough. Might be treacherous if wet. I visited in mid-October. Thursday night was fairly open /unoccupied."
$117 - $122 / night
"We stayed in the Rv area with full hook-ups and a good sized site which was gravel with a picnic bench and surrounded by shade."
"This site was a very short and beautiful walk to the lake which we loved. Clean bathrooms two sites up the loop with water."
$105 / night
"We base-camped here for 4 nights to explore GTNP. only regret is that it made for some long drives down to the southern areas of the park/Jackson/Teton Village."
"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."
$77 / night
"This was the first place I ever camped in Wyoming and I’ve been back three times since! The views are amazing. The drive to the site is kind of rough but it’s definitely worth it."
"This experience was my first to Wyoming and the first glimpse of the beautiful Tetons! I did a climb with Summit for Someone (SFS), to raise money for underprivileged city youth."
$13 - $57 / night
"The campsites were well spaced and tucked into the trees for some privacy and space. The tent pads were level and each site had a bear box. Facilities were clean."
"Absolutely worth the price to be staying smack in the middle of the GTNP. extremely close to south entrance of yellowstone too. Staff is fantastic. On-site grocery and gas station."
$57 - $101 / night
"Being on Jackson lake is awesome - we swam near the boat ramp with amazing views."
"Get there around 11am to grab a site with a view, there’s only a handful. If those are full get a site near the entrance so you’re close to bathhouses, laundry, store, restaurant."
"Hey Bro Nice to see your blog about this place, Spread Creek Dispersed Campground, near Moose, Wyoming, is a fantastic spot for those looking to immerse themselves in nature without the frills of traditional"
"Spread Creek Dispersed Campground is a beautiful, no-frills escape into Wyoming’s wild side."
"One of our favorite dispersed sites throughout our trip in Wyoming & Montana!"
"This site is about 2.5 miles off Highway 89. Very private. Lots of wood can be gathered in surrounding area. At dusk elk were bugling near campsite!!"
"I stayed in the Bridger Teton National Forest off Buffalo Valley Road to be close to the Moran entrance of Grand Teton National Park. There was a large pullout that had a couple of 'sites' below."
"This was my first time in Wyoming and I had no idea what kind of beauty was in store for me. Hiked String Lake, to Jenny Lake, all the way to Hidden Falls."
Great spot just past the bridge crossing right on the creek. Nobody around and no cell service so felt very secluded. A bit of traffic along the road but died off past 7pm. Great spot for a night on our way down to SLC.
The site is close to the highway, but like other reviewers mentioned, all you really hear is the little river running right next to the campsite, which was super peaceful. The river was very cold, but it felt great for a quick dip after a long day hiking in the Tetons. Since Idaho is currently under a burn ban, we couldn’t use the really nice fire pit, but the site did have a bear box which was great for peace of mind. Overall, a very solid camping spot
We got lucky with our site being pretty tucked away, to the point we’ve had like 10 different vehicles today drive all the way up our little road to our campsite because you can’t see it from the main road. If you can get to it, 22 is a good spot. It’s tucked all the way back on a dead end road. You can see the mountains in the distance and there is pretty good tree coverage. Definitely a tip I wish I thought of sooner — bring a traffic cone or something to put at the beginning of the trail to stop others from driving all the way back into your spot to check if it’s available.
It was pretty busy and after looking at a few other camping areas we got lucky and found this one. Off season I’m sure it’s easier to get a spot but in August it’s still quite busy. Sadly we don’t get to make a fire because of fire restrictions but each site in this area has a fire ring and/or pit as well as a bear box.
Overall it’s a cute little place and it’s free so no complaints here. Pretty quiet from our site.
Great spot to camp, with proper camp sites and a vault loo. We arrived at around 14:30pm and all spots were taken so we just parked on the side of a larger site. Most sites are quite big and can fit multiple vehicles. There’s a tent only area if you drive a bit further on past the first loop which usually has some spaces.
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.
A great spot with a beautiful view. Bugs weren’t bad at all mid August when we were there.
There are multiple campsites that are shared with 2-3 other campers. Some of the sites have bathrooms. The road is a bit bumpy but not to bad and you could drive a regular car on the roads. The forest is gone though, it looks like maybe it was a few years ago that it burnt down. There are mosquitoes.
We left the national park and we loved the location of Colter Bay Village. However, I was not a fan of the Campground each campsite was “pull through“ but it was right on the road with no space in between the site and the road. The little Grove that accompanied each campsite was wonderful however it was extremely unlevel so if you need to cook on a level surface, you had a real issue doing that we also had to level one side of our camper at least 4 Inches. A big plus was you could walk from our campsite directly to the lake and the lake is just amazing with a beautiful rock beach. I would come back to this area again, but I would probably just stay in the RV park. This park had a ton of wildlife and the hikes were other worldly. Just stunning.
Nice spots, but not a lot of them, road to the top is pretty rough, but it keeps the sprinter vans away
