  East Table Campground

  Access to the Snake River

  Stayed here on Sept 18, 2024. Paid $10 with senior pass. Pretty campground. Lots of pine trees. Some pull-throughs and some back-ins. Gravel campground road; may be tight in places for big rigs. Sites are dirt surface. Some leveling required. Campground accommodates tents, car camping, vans and RVs. Don't recommend large towables. Hammock camping possible. More than one vault toilet; reasonably clean and stocked. Hand water pumps, but shut off. Trash dumpsters, but locked. Some sites have easy access to the Snake River for fishing. Each site has a table, bear box, metal fire ring, and grill. Highway noise, loud at times. $20 is too high for a national forest campground fee when the water is shut off and the trash dumpsters are locked. Site 9 is large but received some odor from the nearby vault toilet. Campground host was friendly. This campground is probably a destination campground for fly fishing on the Snake River; otherwise, it's just okay for an overnight stay.

  Moose Flat

  Looks okay

  $10 ($5 with pass). Visited on Sept 19, 2024. Did not camp here; just passing through after dispersed camping down the road. Included some photos of the campground for those considering this campground in the future. It looks okay; nothing special. Easy access to Greys River for bank fishing. Vault toilet, well water pump and trash service. Sites looked small at first glance; looks unmaintained, but it's going into the winter season when I visited. Sites include a picnic table and metal fire ring.

  Grey River Dispersed Camp

  Keep camping

  So there’s a few good spots. there’s a shooting range near by so you’ll hear gun shots but it’s all very safe. I usually camp down here every time I’m in town

  Forest Park

  Nice looking wooded primitive campground

  Visited in mid-September 2024. $10 ($5 with senior pass). Did not camp here; just checking it out. Included some photos in this revciew. Except for one towable camper, I was surprised that no one else was camping here, especially considering it was hunting season. The campground was set back in the trees off of Greys River Road. Lots of trees here; lots of shade. Nice looking campground. Good size sites; appear to be level. Picnic table and fire ring included. Not much privacy between sites, but separation between sites was good. Two clean vault toilets. Hand well water pump. Trash service.  No other amenities. No hook-ups. Campground appears to be well maintained. I would consider camping here in the future.

  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.

  Montpelier Canyon Campground

  Just okay

  Stayed in #14 which is small, but suited us well (van). Other sites tend to be larger. #13 is best one, with shade on the west side, a good level driveway and backs up to the creek. 

  Lots of ants and flying bugs, making it hard to stay outside for very long. #9 is also nice with a large spread and decent shade. There is one vault toilet across from #13, a little stinky but relatively clean and had hand sanitizer. Another one is adjacent to the entrance and it has 2 toilets each for women and men; hard to find, back into the shrubs between two concrete markers at road. 

  Lots of shrubs means sites are pretty private. No real hiking trails identified in the area means there is not much to do. Didn't seem overly busy. 

  Food aside: Had freeze dried mushroom wild rice risotto with Popeye's chicken nuggs and spiced up with lemon pepper and Italian seasonings, also used parmesan. Putting nuggs into bag at end of cooking time and stirring worked fine to incorporate them. Very tasty and 2.5 servings means very filling. Broke up astronaut (freeze dried) ice cream sammich and put into freezer overnight before putting into milk for pseudo milkshake with cappuccino mix. Not bad, worth trying again. Also had sweet potato curry with applewood chicken cubes (fully cooked packet), seasoned with garlic. A bit spicy but good. Freeze dried breakfast of biscuits and sausage gravy good flavor but need to break up the biscuits before cooking or they are big and end up being soft on the outside but dry and crunchy on the inside.

  Cutthroat Trout Campground

  No Access

  This place is in the middle of nowhere with no cell service. I drove all the way out here only to find the gate to someone’s ranch with a no trespassing sign. Super frustrating.

  Indian Creek

  Easy Access With Many Sites

  The farm road that leads into this area was once paved and is now covered in gravel with a few ruts here and there but easily avoidable. Sites all the way down to the river edge many with rock fire rings. We were all by ourselves about halfway down - quiet and beautiful!

  Big Elk Creek Campground

  Easy access to Jackson

  Plenty of spots, semi secluded spots. Sunday morning there was a church service and could hear the music perfectly from a good distance away. The lake is beautiful and peaceful. Jackson was about 45 min drive

  Bear Lake State Park Campground

  Great staying at the lake

  Just stayed for a night but in a sight directly at the lake. We were able to go to the lake easily and swim a little bit. Due to being late in the season it was not crowded at all.

  Warren Bridge Campground and Picnic Area

  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.

  Snake River Alpine Dispersed Camping

  Fun Place to Camp

  Beautiful place to camp. The water is shallow and surrounded by mountains. You have to wade through mud to get to the water (which is also muddy). You can also still hear the highway traffic, but not bad. We visited in August, so the fires made the area hazy. The up sides: lots of space and privacy. Camp sites are super far apart in comparison to others. Fire pits are available and drift wood is everywhere. Some spots have trees for hammocks. Pet friendly and lots of bird watching.

  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.

  Viva Naughton Marina by PacifiCorp

  All alone and loved it

  Yes, there were mosquitoes, cows, and a bit of green water, but it was very peaceful and beautiful. Whenever the options are a crowded and powered RV campsite versus a peaceful boondock such as this, we opt for the latter. Hope you enjoy it.

  Indian Creek

  Nice spot, not for everyone

  Perfect for a Friday night last minute spot! Lots of dirt bikes and generators. Also the bend in the road seems to have a lot of traffic.

  Scenic with a nice spot to launch watercraft.

  Snake River Alpine Dispersed Camping

  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.

  East Table Campground

  Too busy

  We took a spin through this USFS campground but decided not to stay. The price seemed too high to us at $20. The campground was crowded and though there were plenty of sites available, there were just so many big groups of people who seemed to be set up for a long stay which gave the campground a noisy, busy vibe. The sites were nice though, lush and green and many of them right along the river. Sites were fairly private and included a bear box and picnic table and fire pit. There are pit toilets here, and trash dumpsters and a propane cylinder recycling bin (no other recycling available). Water spigots throughout the campground as well. No cell reception for either ATT or Verizon. There is a host on site.

  Fall Creek Road - Dispersed

  Great camping an hour from Jenny Lake

  We stayed here the night before our weekend trip to Jenny Lake in Grand Teton National Park. We were able to follow the directions easily from The Dyrt app, and road was easy to navigate with a minivan. We found a nice flat area where another car was parked. Site even had a fire pit. Lots of mosquitos, but common for this area. Great find!

  Montpelier Canyon Campground

  Not Too Bad, Needs Some Maintenance

  Narrow road and short driveways, not suited for large rigs. Some sites are overgrown. The best sites are in the 6-16 loop. No trash receptacle but the Oregon/California Trail Center in town has one and an RV dump too. Campground is only about 3 miles from Montpelier ID. I had no cell signal on Verizon.

  Caribou Highlands Golf & RV

  What a Find

  We were in the Lava Hot Springs, ID area and when traveling US-30, we saw a sign for Caribou Highlands Golf & RV. We had to check out a golf course with an RV park. When you turn off US-30 at the sign, it will be a hard-packed dirt road and you go straight until you see golf course signage and follow them to the course. You will first come to the campground (CG) area where the 10 pull-through sites with FHUs (30/20 AMP). Check-in is at the clubhouse which is about 100 yards from CG. The pull-throughs are long enough for big rigs. A few of the sites have large trees so you will want to watch your sides and roof. There's a bathhouse building. There are no picnic tables at the sites. The cost per night when we were there was $42. During the week its pretty wide open but they do fill up on the weekends. Reservations are made on Campspot. The golf course is a 9-hole links style. They also have a driving range.

  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.

  Indian Creek

  Beautiful place to camp

  We stayed for 7 days. We stayed in the parking lot area as the campground was blocked by the snow mountains.

  There was no verizon signal at all where we stayed, but starlink worked well.

  Plenty of snowmobiles coming everyday along with locals walking their dogs

  Allred Flat

  Peaceful for an overnight

  Just passing through and only needed to stop for the night. Very peaceful. You could only slightly hear the traffic out at the road. Got a site near the creek. Maybe #11. Vault toilets clean. Only a couple other sites taken. Cheap $5 with senior pass discount. No cell reception for me. Sites are not very private, but with so few people here it didn't make a difference.

  Wolf Creek Campground

  Beautiful views

  Very well kept camp spots. Each has a fire pit with grill on it. Our spot, 16, has a beautiful view of the mountains on the other side of the highway. Only downside, is the road noise from being so close to the highway. Pit toilets and water are available, we paid $20 for a single spot in September. Very close to the Snake River too
