Dispersed camping along Cliff Creek in Bridger-Teton National Forest
Free dispersed camping close to Jackson Hole, WY
Hi Campers!
We stopped in this part of the National Forest on our way to Yellowstone by way of Jackson Hole, WY. The access is off of HWY 191. You turn West onto Cliff Creek Rd/Forest Rd 30530 and follow Cliff Creek to many dispersed coming sites.
This is open range so be aware that there are cattle grazing. Plus, it is of course bear country...so know how to stay safe!
We stayed here one night so that we could get on the road again in the morning. We found a nice secluded site. It was pretty close to the creek (there are closer sites but they were taken already) and you could easily walk there to get into some fly fishing.
Our photos are from driving and getting close to the camping area. When we got there it was pretty close to getting dark (just one photo from the site) and we left really early to get on the road.
We'll stop here again if we're in the area! Can't beat free dispersed camping!

TravelerDispersed camping along Cliff Creek in Bridger-Teton National Forest
Stream, timber, mountains, and space, plus it's free.
Great spot on forest service road. Able to park right next to the creek. Lots of spots on the road with fire rings. Free dispersed camping with a great view of the mountains. Hiked to the top of the mountain on the left side coming in. Great views of the valley from the top. Our spot was spot on level, no need to unhook the TT from the truck.

BEST CAMP SPOT
We have tried many dispersed camping spots now and this is by far the best one we’ve visited. Easy access to lake swimming, free WiFi at the brewery and many spots to choose from. Nice July temperatures. Would definitely come back!

Dispersed camping along river
Where this pin is serves more as a day use area with camping spots highly used and trashed. However there is better dispersed camping along this road.

Grey's River 10138L Dispersed
Wonderful Riverside Dispersed Campsite
Coordinates: 42.78898,-110.68746. Free. Camped here Sept 17, 2024. One of several dispersed campsites along Greys River Road (Forest Road 10138). Large dispersed site, set back from forest road; no concerns with dust coming into the site from passing vehicles. Should comfortably accommodate 3 or 4 rigs. Clean rock fire ring. Mostly level, dirt surface. Easy access from forest road. Open site surrounded by trees. Next to Grey's River; easy access for bank fishing. There is a set of trees that may accommodate hammock camping. Tent camping also possible. Area can get muddy after rain. Solar recharging possible in middle of afternoon. No T-Mobile nor AT&T cell service. Loved this spot.

Lynx Creek
Truck camping near roaring creek
We stayed in early June so the creek was gushing with water and it was nice to sleep to the sound of running water. We dispersed camped in our trucks. It was a great area for an overnight stop on our way to Yellowstone from Salt Lake City. Town was only about 5-10 minutes away but we felt very isolated and area was private.

Scenic River Camping
If this is Grey’s River Dispersed Camping then this is where we were trying to stay. Some free spots along river, kind of on long bumpy gravel road. Didn’t end up staying. We were able to see lots of kayakers on the river and trails to hike.

Bridge Dispersed
Nice spot dispersed
This is about a quarter mile before the Bridger day use site. Two dispersed camping sites. No access to the river but there is a nice view of the canyon and you can walk down to the day use area and use the bathroom and river access.

Warren Bridge Recreation Area Designated Dispersed Camping
BLM designated dispersed camping
This BLM recreation area has 12 designated FREE dispersed campsites along the Green River. The sires are off of a good gravel graded BLM road that dead ends at sites 12a-b. Most of these camps have their own vault toilet, tables, fire rings and grass boat launch areas for the drift boat, raft and kayak crowd. However none of them have any cell service but if you get back up to the main BLM road on top there is cell service if you can see the cell towers.

Beautiful setting and great beer. I recommend their Heyzeus. Boondocking at its best. Bugs were not bad at all the night we were there.

Unbelievable boondocking and brews!
Our first time boondocking in a camper van and we may be spoiled for life! Had a spot right on the water, with an brewery 100 yards away. The people were great, the brews were tasty and the sunset was stunning. 10/10

Salt River Pass
Incredible Views and TOTAL Privacy
As I was driving over Salt River Pass I noticed a small dirt road on the side of the highway. Upon checking Google Maps Satellite View, I could see that the road ended in a campsite, so I decided to scout it. The road is HEAVILY rutted, and would be impassible for a regular car, but it was easy to pass in my Sprinter Van. The campsite is STUNNING, in a field of wildflowers, RIGHT near the highway, but totally isolated and private.

Views & Brews
(October 5th, 2023) Camped in the backyard of a brewery! Got here after dark and it wasn’t totally clear where to find the camp spots, but after some exploring we got to the best site (43.1666131, -111.0380217). Great beer (and bathrooms) were just a quick walk away!

Roadside Camp On The Green River
This nice little Campground is all first come first served. Sits on the banks on the Green River. There is water, pit toilets, fire Rings, lamp post, and water. The only downside to the campground is it is located right along a fairly busy two lane Highway. However after dark the traffic Falls to almost zero.
The campground is located a dozen miles or so north of Pinedale Wyoming which offers full services. It also provides easy access to the amazing Green River Lakes area. Just across the highway a gravel road parallels the Green River offering about a dozen free riverside campsites. The main road to these is rough but well maintained. However the road to several of the sites are quite narrow and rough and should be scouted if you're pulling a trailer or driving a larger RV.
There is amazing Wildlife viewing right from the campground. On my last visit I saw mule deer, moose, and Antelope right from my campsite.

Nice spot down by the Snake River
Number of dispersed sites along the waters edge. The spots are spread out nicely.
Leading up to the water is a bit muddy but overall great place. Not much shade.

Lots of random spots to go
Initially did Harvest Hosts to stay at Melvin and got a nice spot, but wound up venturing over to the dispersed area. There are tons of places to go—some a little sketchy if you have a larger rig.
BLURDVSNTravelerDispersed camping along Cliff Creek in Bridger-Teton National Forest
Gorgeous!!!
Of the 8 dispersed sites we've used in the past couple weeks, this was by far the nicest and had the best scenery. I'd almost drive there again from St Louis just to lay under those stars in that picturesque valley. Plenty of sites with room to spare. If you're in the area, STAY HERE! You can thank me later.

Fall Creek Road - Dispersed
Remote Spot For a Night
We were happy to find somewhere relatively remote on our trip to Tetons/Yellowstone. Campsites were approximately 3 miles in off of the highway on a wide gravel road, drivable in our F450 with triple slide truck camper. We camped right off the main road before the bridge but saw more campsites off a side road further up, which looked a little rough to try with our rig. There were about 8 cars that went by in the evening and 8 more in the early morning. It was a pretty area and besides the car noise, quiet. Good spot for one night.

Cliff falls trail
Camped at the end of the service road. There was an outhouse to use at the trailhead. Woke up to cows at the campsite! A horse trailer rolled up to take some people on a ride. The cliff falls trails is amazingly beautiful with changing landscape around every bend.

Fisherman Creek Road
Easy to find, plenty of spots
Long dirt road with lots of trails leading to nice spots. The road and most of the campsites are fit for large RVs. Most spots have shade and fire rings. I came in late July and there were lots of motorcycles and ATVs. It was quiet from 7 PM to 7 AM.
Tee C.LegendFisherman Creek Road
Quiet, hidden meadows
There were many available campsites and it’s not far from the main road at all. I had a bar of service via Verizon. Really had the place to ourselves. On the way out, there was a herd of cows blocking the road and some cowboys driving them. But it wasn’t a long roadblock.

Dispersed camping along Cliff Creek in Bridger-Teton National Forest
beautiful & peaceful
one of the most gorgeous places i’ve ever camped. no service (at&t) but the view is unbeatable. the campsites are nestled in a valley along cliff creek and have plenty of shade and water access. it is in an open range pastureland, so there were some early morning bovine visitors. 10/10 will be camping here again
Jeanie P.GuideFall Creek Road - Dispersed
Good for one night
We stayed here early July on our way to the Tetons/Jackson Hole area. Main road is very drivable for all vehicles but off shoot roads were looking more 4wd and clearance required to reach better camp sites. We found a spot right off the main road. The road has a steady spaced out stream of traffic so there was a bit of noise at night.
Witek C.GuideFisherman Creek Road
Peaceful and quiet
Found a large spot about a mile up the road, on the left side. The road was pretty good, even for our overloaded car and rented trailer. The spot was large enough to turn around and easily maneuver the trailer. We got there on a Thursday evening at about 8pm. Nobody passed our campsite that whole evening, aside from a deer. The only downside was the crazy amount of mosquitoes. Bring bug spray!
