This has I think 12 spots. It’s a little rough in the beginning but not bad after that seen Subarus up there. Some wiled life it is grizzly country but one of my favorite spots by Wilson wy.
Traveler
I took my family her last minute on a Friday afternoon thinking there wouldn't be any spots open. To my surprise we got a spot. There is plenty of room between camp spots and it is very well kept. We loved it there. Everyone was very respectful and no ATVs or Dirt Bikes are allowed except for the camp hosts and so it was nice and quiet. It was already fully stocked with wood for us as well. Well worth the $20/night and we will be coming back for sure.

Camping here is only for contestants or people stalling horses with them on special event days.. the number to ask is: +1 (307) 733-5289
GuideI only stayed at the campground for the trails nearby. But the night I stayed it was loud and there’s very little privacy. The trails that I’d come for were very scenic but also packed by 8:30 AM. I should’ve picked a different area as I thought it would be peaceful and it wasn’t. I would not return for either campsite nor trails.

Death canyon trail head is the starting point for the hike. Permit is required. You can get one at the visitor center.
LegendWe were scheduled to camp at Grant Campground in Yellowstone tonight but the entire park was evacuated due to unprecedented flooding. The kind and generous folks of Jackson let the Yellowstone evacuees dry camp for free at their rodeo fairgrounds. So here we are in the lovely town of Jackson!
GuideReally awesome trail that connects
Traveler
Really nice people. Helped us out in a jam. Clean bathrooms and showers. Full hook ups.
RangerQuaint place with full hookups and amenities. The men's bathroom was quite dirty but the owners were friendly and the wifi worked well.
Ranger
A favorite hike-to of ours. A beautiful 8 mile hike up the mountain finished with secluded sites with gorgeous views of the surrounding mountains. Lots of wildlife, a bear cannister is required and provided at the parks Visitors Center when receiving your backcountry permit
Traveler
Nice little campground with plenty of space between campsites. Kids and dogs had fun playing in the nearby creek (water is very cold), with lots of great hiking opportunities.
I had no problems pulling my 26' TT into here, but I don't know if I would attempt to bring anything in much larger than that.
Added bonus, there were a lot of wild strawberries and raspberries in the area.
Scout
Great place to camp right by the river. Good fishing and my kids loved floating the river. Need to bring canopy or have awning for shade.
ScoutNick is in charge of the campground, very nice guy and very straight forward (which is great). There are 8 spots total, 12 a night and 6 dollars for extra vehicles. No water, no dumping, no electricity. Right next to the creek, and lots of shady camp spots. Absolutely gorgeous and perfect for camping.
GuideAdequately spaced sites, next to a creek. Well maintained, nice hiking trails. $12/night. Allows dogs and has good cell service. Picnic tables and fire pits.
Legend
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!
TravelerThis was an amazing overnight camping excursion.
ScoutThis campground has a small number of lots, and when we were there in July most were filled by RVs. Only one had a noisy generator;) our spot was right next to the roaring Palisades Creek, and a short walk to restrooms. Only 15 bucks a night;)

Campground Review: As you enter the forest boundary, there is a sign alerting you to road damage. The road is pretty rough getting into the campground. You will encounter some pretty significant potholes and washouts. Just take it slow, you’ll be fine. Also, the campground is not on the lake, it is about a 1/4 mile from the lake. The campground is quite nice back in the trees. There are 2 separate forks, one for equestrians and the other allows off-road vehicles.
I camped at site 13. It was near the water supply and a couple sites away from the restroom. It was also very close to the ORV trailhead. The only bear boxes are located by the restroom, which I though was unusual. I just made sure any food items were stored away in my vehicle and locked vs storing in the bear box. The campground was about half full on a Friday. The group site does require a reservation. The site I occupied had a small iron fire ring with a grill component. Some other sites had much larger cement fire rings. The lake is spectacular! it is the prettiest shade of teal. There is a boat dock at the far end of the lake. Near the parking area there is a beach area where you can kayak and paddle board from. The lake has brown and cutthroat trout. They were jumping like crazy in the evening and the fly fishing was excellent! I used my favorite yellow caddis. It was a little more difficult from shore but the boaters were killing it. I could have easily spent the whole weekend up here. My reason for visiting this area was to get away from the madness of the Lincoln County Fair that I was in the area attending and supporting my kids in 4-H. I prefer the solitude of camping in the forest ca the commercial campground at the fairgrounds.
This campground is recommended it you are interested in the following: horseback riding, fly fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding, canoeing, hiking, ORV, wildlife viewing. Something for everyone!
Gear Review: Humangear http://www.humangear.com/ Quick Bites, Go-Tubes, FlexiBowl. As a Ranger with the Dyrt, I occasionally receive gear to field test while camping. While planning for this trip, I brought some easy dinner items to quickly toss together. Prior to leaving, I mixed up some sauce at home and transported it in my GoTube. It was perfect! The opening to the soft silicone container is nice and wide. I added some chili sauce, soy sauce, and Sriracha to the tube and replaced the lid and shook it to mix. The lid has a nice mechanism that will lock the lid to prevent it from opening during transport. When squeezed, the contents are very controlled and there is no drip once you release. I used the FlexiBowl to mix up my concoction at camp. I emptied a tin of canned chicken int the bowel. The top inch or so of the bowel will fold down to create a wider opening. I used my Go-Bites spork to mix the sauce i brought with the chicken. I ate this on crackers. It was delicious after a long day. Pardon my dark demo video, it was 9 pm when I got around to eating. Prior to having the Humangear Go-Bites double ended spork, I had a light my fire spork. I was doing a side by side demo of the strength and barely put any effort on the ends of the light my fire sport and it split in two. I'm a fan of the Humangear eating utensils. I have also use the DuoBites which are a fork and spoon that slide into each other for transport and so they stay together. I really like both utensils that i have tried! I also have to throw in a GREAT word for the Humangear CapCap! This is a huge step up in my Nalgene game! I don't know how i got by without one! No more spills down the front of my shirt! Bonus!
TravelerThere are many pay to park camp areas around here and also some free areas if you’re adventurous enough! Lots of land to explore and fishing is great!
Traveleron the way to the campground you will travel down dirt roads that are full of scenic views. when you get to the sites it is hard to choose if you want to be right next to the water where you can fish for trout or remain tucked in the woods. both are peaceful and leave society behind.
LegendDecent campground in a remote area. No facilities. Camp is located near the trailhead to Lake Alice. You need to cross Hobble Creek to get to the campground, which can be very high in early summer. Usually roads are not passable until almost July. Great place!
