Many of the sites are right along the creek, making it a perfect spot to set up camp and enjoy the soothing sounds of flowing water. The gravel road leading in can be a bit rough, but you don’t need a 4x4 to navigate it—just take it slow.

    One of the best things about this location is that it's free. However, keep in mind that there are no facilities here. That means no toilets, no showers, and no trash service. You’ll need to pack out what you pack in. Fires are allowed, so you can still enjoy a campfire under the stars, but you'll need to bring your own firewood.

    Visitors have mentioned that the area is incredibly quiet, especially at night. The sites are far enough apart that you won’t be disturbed by neighbors. Some campers have noted that the road can get busy during the day, but it quiets down by evening.

    If you’re into hiking, there are some great trails nearby. One popular hike takes you to a three-way intersection with excellent day hike options to the left and right. The views from the top are worth the trek.

    Overall, this spot is a gem for those looking to truly disconnect and immerse themselves in nature. Just be prepared for a rustic experience and enjoy the peace and beauty of Bridger-Teton National Forest.
