  North Fork Campground - St. Charles Canyon

  Beautiful Scenery in Idaho Mountains

  This beautiful campground lies close to the end of St Charles Canyon near the Minnetonka Cave.  It has 2 sections one of which is mainly for rvs and the 2nd which is for tents and camper Van's.  The RV spots seemed kind of close but the tent sites had ample room along with metal fire rings and picnic tables.  There was a vault toilet up near the rvs  and down by the tent sites

  Greys River Cove RV Park

  Don’t tent camp here

  Don’t tent camp here. The tent area is about 20 yards from an extremely loud bar. People are outside it yelling til after 2am. Awful.

  Indian Creek

  Amazing spot

  Amazing view, and great fishing access. Many places along the reservoir. Close to the road so traffic can be loud. Free to stay on most of the campsites along the reservoir aside from the boat ramp site. Beach front available but be careful of tides. My tent site was a max stay of 3 to 5 nights.

  East Table Campground

  Last minute find!

  The campground was full but we still thought we'd check to be sure there wasn't a last minute cancellation. The camp host was so kind. She had one more spot available across the road that was a group sight. She gave it to us! Although the site itself was pretty much a gravel parking lot (we were tent camping), there was water available, a fire ring, and VERY clean vault toilets/bathrooms.

  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.

  Maple Grove Hot Springs

  Great camping and great hot springs

  This is one of my favorite places on earth. They have tent sites, van sites and a selection of shelters to choose from. Camping gets you access to the hot springs from check in until 4pm the next day. There’s running water in the bathhouse with a toilet and shower. There’s yoga classes included in the price as well. The bathhouse also has a nice little shop with snacks and gifts. They sell tinfoil dinners too if you want to really relax. Highly recommend! They offer volunteer days as well where you can camp and soak in exchange for volunteer work.

  Wolf Den RV Park

  Small Campground with Big Personality

  We were traveling from the snow in the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone and wanted to find a place close by with warmer temps.   Found this campground on google search.  Has a total of 14 RV sites, all full hook ups with a picnic table,  some tent sites and about a dozen cabins.  RV sites are gravel and very level.  There is a playground and picnic area.  There is a shower house and a laundry.   The office has ice and some supplies.  There is a package store in the front and the town of Alpine is about 10 miles away.   The campground is very well kept and the owner is very helpful.   Great view of the mountains from any site and in all directions.

  Montpelier Creek KOA

  HIGHLY RECOMMEND !Great host and beautiful campsite!

  We booked a tent site online and pulled in around 8 pm on a Monday night shortly after the covid shutdown. It was raining and the temperature was 37 degrees and due to drop to 29 overnight. The incredibly kind host gave us a cabin for no extra charge since the campsite was almost empty. Character like that is hard to come by anymore! The campsites are beautiful, nestled right beside the creek. The scenery all around is beautiful rolling, green hills. Very quiet and clean. Clean restrooms and just 2 miles from town. The shop at the campsite has basic necessities, snacks, and drinks. There’s a playground for children and a fenced area for dogs. We are tremendously thankful for the host being so generous and will ABSOLUTELY be staying here again in the future! Highly highly highly recommend!

  Paris Springs Campground

  Very nice campground

  I stayed one night in this campground. There are about 10 sites and it was almost full capacity on a Friday. There were 2 available site. I chose the site near the Paris spring Trailhead. The trail to the spring is about 1/4 mile in and is very beautiful. There were hummingbirds everywhere! And dragon flies too! The wild flowers were still pretty vibrant but starting to fade.

  They are replacing the picnic tables so each site has two, a very nice coated metal table and the old cement and wood ones. The have metal fire rings and a area large enough for a camper and a level tent site. The offer two central pit toilets that were tidy and well stocked.

  Nearby, about six miles from the campground, is the Paris Ice Cave. This is very interesting and I recommend visiting!

  K O A Campgrounds Montpelier

  Loved this KOA!

  We got the last site which was for a RV but was given to us for our tent camping. It had both water and electric hook ups on site, and plenty of space for our tent. I gave this KOA 5 Stars all due to the site #26! We were directly next to a river stream which we were able to take our camp chairs and sit in the water. Like our own private oasis. Our site had a section that was concrete and that’s where my boyfriend had set up our kitchen area. #26 didn’t have anyone right directly next to us just a wooden rail and a river stream. The bathrooms were super clean and the showers were a good size also. Loved how they had a tv in the bathrooms. Shower while listening to the news or a tv show. They had a cute little store that sold a variety of camping items and food and drinks, candy, chips, medicines, toiletries and much more. Even though we didn’t hit the pool there was one and a nice size play area for the kids, and horseshoes for bigger kids. Also it’s about a 25min drive to the beautiful Bear Lake! Gorgeous! I will most definitely stay here again and again and will ask for #26! Thanks KOA for making our trip a great one! See you soon!

  Spring Creek Trailhead

  Solitude !

  Great dispersed camping area. Appears to be used by a lot of hunters. There is a nice big picnic table at one site and a few spots with campfire rings and meat poles. There are no other amenities. 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. I didn’t venture further than that. I stayed at this campground because I was hiking up Wyoming Peak in the morning. Wyoming Peak was a wonderful hike, highly recommend! This summer has had the most amazing wildflowers!

  Bear Lake State Park Campground

  Beautiful beachside camping

  The views were amazing right from our tent!  The water was a little on the chilly side so we did more wading than swimming, but you cant ask for too much more in UT/ID.  The waters were crystal clear turquoise blue and we could hear the sound of the waves from our tent.  The bathrooms were kept clean and smell free especially for pit toilets.

  Indian Creek

  We loved it!

  My partner and I stayed two nights at this free campsite and loved both nights. We saw most people in RVs but the sites are great for tents too. The wind made tenting a little difficult but doable. It looked like each site had a fire ring and there are two public bathrooms. The lake and backdrop is beautiful and worth the visit. The clay quicksand-like ground close to the lake was fun to play in and explore!

  Wolf Creek Campground

  Close-ish to Grand Teton

  Close to Grand Teton but far enough away that it will likely be unfilled is the best thing about our experience here. When all the sites in Grand Teton National Park are full, hotel rooms in Jackson, WY are $500 a night and you are willing to make a little effort you'll find yourself on Hwy 89 turning into Wolf Creek Campground adjacent to the highway. You'll be squarely in the middle of Grizzly Bear** country, and you'll be reminded of this at the entrance with a lot of signs and a bear safe garbage dumpster with the roof smashed in.

  Just saying. Know your environment. First come, first serve for $16/night.

  Our site was directly next too the highway. There was no shade or trees to block the road. There was a bit of a mound but not enough to block the lights from truckers passing by all night long. The campground was completely overgrown with weeds including the tent pad we didn't even realize was there until the next day it was so overgrown. The ground is rock and hard pack dirt. Bring the good tent stakes.

  Each site had a campfire pit and bear-safe storage box. As we've found to be the case in Wyoming the bathroom was impeccably clean. This may have something to do with the bears.

  The campsite is across the road from the Snake River but it does not (as advertised on the Reserve America site) have a view of the river. It is in the valley along the highway with some towering cliff/mountains on either side. You can cross the street to check out the river and there is an overlook walking distance down the highway. There is a place to sit there, and a CLOSED trail down to the riverside. There is likely another access point to the trail but we didn't see it.

  The best thing about this site was the night sky. When there wasn't a truck passing by it was one of the darkest spots we've camped in awhile. The stars were pristine and since you had mountains blocking out light on both sides they seemed even brighter.

  *Pro-tip: Just down the road is the Yankee Doodle Cafe. It is a unique place. The food is exactly what you'll want from a diner after a bad night's sleep. The portions are big, and regardless of your political views you'll likely get a kick out of the Americana all over the walls. The owner, Gary and his Wife, will regale you with local stories if you're lucky enough to meet them.

  **There was a bear in camp while we were there. Be aware of bears.

  Bear Lake State Park Campground

  Gorgeous Lake but busy during the Summer

  The most popular of the campgrounds on the East side of the lake due to the tropically blue water. Lots of spots for tents and RV’s. Even has pull through sites on the lake. Beautiful views and easy beach access from all sites.

  Bathrooms are okay, they need to attended to more often during busy weekends but as big as it is, it was well maintained. Sites have fire pit and picnic tables.

  There is a large picnic pavilion for group gatherings with a cute little benched(rock) area. There are a TON of campgrounds on the East side of the lake. You will have your choice of spots with different amenities. 

  The camp hosts are friendly and helpful. The sites are very RV or van-friendly. Many of them are also large enough for a large tent but make sure you check the sites before because not all sites are tent friendly.

  It is a big party here during the Summer so keep that in mind when looking for a campspot. There is a big beach hang-out nearby where you can rent water sport gear so it can get pretty busy during the weekends but I went during the week and hardly saw anyone.

  Hams Fork Campground

  Great fishing!

  Just off a dusty forest service road. The fishing is great, lots of little tributaries to fish. There is a pit toilet available. I'd recommend pitching a tent in the forest vs. camping here, although it was not busy, there are only a few sites at this campground.

  Great spot

  We camped here in a tent passing through on our way north. Only cost us $10. Pretty spot and only a couple other campers in the area that night so we had plenty of privacy. It does appear that it is closed in winter but there is a forest road just south that you could camp on for free I'm sure.

  St. Charles Campground

  Only 6 sites, very near Bear Lake

  Disclosure: I did not camp overnight, but spent a fair amount of time here at my friends site. Please see my Ranger review of Cloverleaf Campground (and the Primus Trailbreak Vacuum Bottle), just a few miles up the road from here. (Our group got split up)

  There are only 6 camp sites in this small campground, it is very nice, although it was in need of mowing/trimming. The tent was pitched right next to Saint Charles Creek. It is currently very high (6/2017). I was worried they may get their tent wet!

  The camp is paved, so no dust! They have flush toilets and potable water.

  There are 4 campgrounds along the road to Minnetonka Cave. All access the Highline Trail.

  Very close to Bear Lake and Minnetonka Cave!

  Nice little campground

  Very nice little off-ish grid campground in Wyoming. The camp host is super nice and there is water spaced out around the campground. All in all a nice place for only an hour south of Jackson Hole. Verizon At&t and Tmobile all had reception.

  Willow Flat Campground

  Surrounded by tall trees next to the creek

  Shade everywhere here! The creek also runs nearby which makes it nice and cool. There's vault toilets plenty of spigots, and tent pads at most spots. There's some hiking nearby but scrambling around on the nearby limestone cliffs was more enjoyable!

  Affordable

  Crew has worked hard on improvements. Decided to stay for a while. WiFi is good, better than anyplace I’ve ever been. Great restaurant “The Den”! Gas is cheaper than in Pinedale. Propane on site. Convenience store...beer, liquor, deli. The only drawback is the wind gusts (so watch your awning)but that’s Wyoming! Beautiful sunsets, view of mountains!

  East Table Campground

  Easy access to Alpine Canyon

  1/2 a mile from the West Table boat ramp. Too small for 5th wheels and big motorhomes - more appropriate for tents and Sprinter-sized motorhomes. Can hear the highway. Campground host made a solid effort to manage the Labor Day deluge.

  Group campsites are on the north side of the highway, individual campers should use the south side of the highway.

  Rustic, but quiet, always space

  I found this place on Google after the Riverdale place was a total wash and I'm so glad I kept driving because I got there about 9:30 at night it was quiet there was a camp host there but I didn't talk to him and there were plenty of spaces open it was it's a lot Whittier and secluded secluded so it's really quiet at night you definitely hear the birds in everything and it's a it's pretty cool temperature wise so just fair warning if you're inattentive you're in A-tent the bathrooms are clean so thumbs up

  Wolf Creek Campground

  Peaceful, beautiful, great location

  Beautiful 20 spot campground across from the snake river. Tents and RV welcome. No hookups but water spickets available. Clean bathrooms. Picnic tables, fire rings, and very large spots. Some pull through. Great location out of Jackson Hole just a short drive from the Grand Tetons. Campground sits in a gorge so mountains and trees as far as you can see. We walked in and easily had our choice of over 15 open spots. Was only $10-$15 bucks I think.

  Does the trick!

  Had our choice of spots on a Monday afternoon. Big tent pad, fire ring, picnic table, bear proof food box. CLEANEST vault toilets I’ve ever seen, water spikets within walk of site. No shade or views of the river (it’s on the other side of the highway) but the canyon is gorgeous! You can definitely hear the highway noise all day and night. Self pay envelopes and firewood available for purchase! Not a dreamy campsite but worked great for our purpose for 2 nights!

  Davis Canyon Campground

  Mean host & Mosquito Infested!!

  Camped July 31st-August 1st. First off the host (old grumpy guy) was a complete asshole to my husband and I. Right when we showed up and started setting our tent up he came to collect money and freaked out at us when we didn’t fill out the card the way he wanted it. 2nd of all the MOSQUITOES WERE HUGE AND SO AGGRESSIVE!! Got attacked the entire time we couldn’t even relax at all. As well as the horseflies. If you even tried to be by the river for a second your basically getting hauled away by them. Will never go back.

  North Eden Campground — Bear Lake State Park

  Popular with groups

  I visited this campground for several hours while dropping my son off to camp and boat for the weekend with some friends.

  The sites are very large and can accommodate more than one large camper, plus a few tents. The beach is a very short walk from the campsites. No sites are actually on the waterfront. There are fire rings with grills available and there are centrally located vault toilets. There are no trees or shade except close to the beach.

  2017 was a very high water year and the beaches are under water. See the trees way out in the water in the photos. Fishing is great though!
