GuideHad a decent night here. Maybe when it is fully complete it will be luxury, but for now… no way and not worth the luxury price.
TravelerWe came in around 6pm and were able to get a spot right away in area 1. There’s only 2 spots in this area so it’s quiet enough, but close enough. Sites are right on the water with good access, fire rings, tables, and vault toilets. Directly across the river from our site is a tall pine with an eagles nest. 2 large Bald Eagles hang out there in the evening, while a large Golden Eagle watches the nest and fights off the peregrine falcons while they’re gone. I’m not a birdwatcher, but this was simply an amazing experience. Good fishing as well.
GuideLocated up the mountain just above the elk wildlife refuge, I got there late at night, which was a little challenging given the road once in the campground gets pretty rough and bumpy in some stretches. I don’t have four-wheel-drive which was not a problem, but I was driving my truck with decent clearance which I was grateful for, I wouldn’t want to do this with a low clearance vehicle or my trailer.
I stayed at site 12A which was pretty far up the mountain. It was a nice large site, no neighbors in sight, and a fire pit. I see in the description of amenities and some reviews mentioning toilets, firewood, picnic tables, bear boxes, but I didn’t see any of those or have them my site so I don’t know if maybe some sites even further in had those. Fires were allowed although the camp hosts came around on date two to let people know the fire risk was high and while fires were allowed, they were discouraged, but they were very friendly and helpful.
Some sites like mine are tucked more into the forest. I had a beautiful view of a small valley below me. Other sites are more open on top of the grassier part of the canyon with a broader view of the larger elk refuge below. I like that mine felt more secluded and less exposed, but the view from some other sites was spectacular. Trade-offs.
When I first got there, it wasn’t clear whether they were going to be any sites available so I kept driving and driving until I found a spot. The next night, the camp hosts had put up signs down at the entrance saying the campground was full, which I assume is common practice but I wasn’t sure when I got there I just took my chance until I found a spot.
They allow a five day maximum and it’s free. It was a 20 minute drive from Jaxon to the campground another 20 minutes inside the campground on the mountain road to my site, the campground is pretty dispersed up the mountain so lower numbered sites would be faster to get to.
All in all the great places to stay for a few days for me to explore the Jackson area.
GuideThe Warren Bridge was an ideal choice for the night before arriving to Grand Teton. This campground has about 14 sites (most being pull through), no hookups. There is a dump&water station at the start. If you’re travelling by, you can use it for 5$. The camp host seems to care very much of his/her camp, we’ve seen someone going around cutting grass. The sites are levelled, have a fire pit and a seating.
ScoutDirt circle with room for a few cars, vans etc. No actual designated spots. Just for sleeping mostly
GuideGreat little campground with pit potties and a water spout. There are bearboxes and nice tables, a fire ring and grill stand at each site. About a dozen sites or so, wooded area, the ground for tents is really hard packed. Very quiet, there's a beautiful sunset a short walk up the driveway that overlooks the whole valley and the Tetons. The road up is dusty and rocky, makes for an adventurous trip and Bill is a gracious, friendly camp host who made us feel welcome.
TravelerSmaller parking lot, but plenty of area to camp, nice and flat in most spots and close to the water.
ScoutIf you are looking to hike Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Jackson’s and Driggs/Darby, you will not find a better location to easily access all location. I am already planning my next trip back. The host is amazing!!!
Guide4wd, high clearance vehicle needed to get to sites 5 and 6. Quiet and open sky, but site 5 does not have a view of the Tetons.
