"This was the first place I ever camped in Wyoming and I’ve been back three times since! The views are amazing. The drive to the site is kind of rough but it’s definitely worth it."
"This experience was my first to Wyoming and the first glimpse of the beautiful Tetons! I did a climb with Summit for Someone (SFS), to raise money for underprivileged city youth."
"Shadow Mountain dispersed camping is just a few miles across the way from the Moose, Wyoming, entrance to Grand Teton National Park."
"Most of the campsites that we could get to with our camper are right next to each other, but there are actually 20 something campsites. Most are in the mountain."
"This is a nice little campground close to Jackson, WY, that is much quieter than campgrounds in Teton National Park. It has 12 sites for tents or smallish RVs. No hookups."
"Located 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"
$17 / night
"Only knock on this campground is the proximity to the highway, you can hear the traffic. Within walking distance of multiple trails."
"A smaller quiet campground near the Teton Valley. This campground is pretty far from GTNP, but close to the activities on the other side. Avoid site #1, 2, 3 to get away from the highway noise."
"Same great views you'd expect anywhere near the Tetons; trailhead to Goodwin Lake is close by. Full Teton view is better at the trailhead, but its not far."
"I do NOT recommend the drive unless you have off road suspension or have a smaller vehicle."
$13 - $57 / night
"The campsites were well spaced and tucked into the trees for some privacy and space. The tent pads were level and each site had a bear box. Facilities were clean."
"Absolutely worth the price to be staying smack in the middle of the GTNP. extremely close to south entrance of yellowstone too. Staff is fantastic. On-site grocery and gas station."
"It was perfectly situated. The back is where the campers are and it was nicely situated. The sites weren’t huge but they were big enough. I loved taking a shower in the showers there."
"Clean bathrooms, super close proximity to the park and town, and quiet."
$119 - $129 / night
"Grand Teton was 11 miles away from south…in Jackson…access to anything you need. City bus stop nearby …free shuttle to get around. Library across street."
"Great location and accessible all of the great things to do in Jackson Hole. Great food nearby (King Sushi…if you can get in). We happened to be there during Antlerfest."
"Around 630 it appeared all the sites were full as we saw a lot of vehicles heading back down the road. So I'd suggest getting there fairly early."
"There are 27 sites, some with A and B locations. 4-6 is on the right side of the Y, 7-27 on the left. We drove around looking at all of the spots and Site 27 was unreal."
"Some wiled life it is grizzly country but one of my favorite spots by Wilson wy."
"Steep 3 miles up highway outside Jackson. Pull off on RIGHT small area with a beautiful waterfall fed pond !"
RangerThis spot has a great view of the Tetons, spots are somewhat close, but on a nice loop. Continued spots from the earlier 1-8 that had a bathroom. No bathroom here. Can get muddy but easy to drive in. Fire rings at each spot, can only camp at designated spots.
TravelerBumpy road but as bad as the right turn off. The left is more manageable but be aware of mud.
TravelerVery little traffic through this area. Seen 5 vehicles total with two others at the first right turn off. Very bumpy steep entrance not suitable for sedans or lower vehicles. I’m a Chevy express and made it up easily but watched a sprinter van reverse out.
TravelerWe stayed here for a few nights in Oct and it rained for half the time we camped. The road in was bumpy when we got here but got worse as the rain came down. Most of the campsites that we could get to with our camper are right next to each other, but there are actually 20 something campsites. Most are in the mountain. Overall, the views are awesome and the location is good for sightseeing. It was about 20 minutes off the main highway and paved up until the camping entrance road.
TravelerThis spot was STUNNING! We were in a Mercedes sprinter van and easily pulled into the spot. There was a fire ring overlooking the reservoir and sunset was beautiful. The roads to the site were gravel and easily drivable for most rigs. It took about 40 minutes (driving slower). Probably wouldn’t take a large camper because you do have to go down a steep hill with tree coverage to get there. There’s also Flagg ranch campground close by with gas and convenience store. Short drive to both the Tetons and Yellowstone!
ScoutCamping is only allowed in areas marked with signs which will tell you the camp number and the number of sites in said camp. We only traveled as far as “Camp 5” which is a single site location. Each camp has a different number of sites, ranging from 1-4 sites per camp. There’s also a good distance between camps as well.
Since we only went so far as camp 5, there might be a chance other camps ahead are more abundant with sites.
Each camp has a bathroom and bear proof dumpsters. Gravel roads are pretty well maintained, minor pot holes and some rippling. Camps have beautiful views and the night sky glows.
Personally, I don’t recommend this dispersed camping spot. It’s really hard to find a site thats open. We were lucky enough some kind folks allowed us to camp in their site. Although I don’t recommend asking folks to stay in their site either.
If you’re desperate to find a camp, theres a good chance you wont find one here.
TravelerWe stayed in a lot that had 2 marked spots but on Labor Day weekend that turned to 4. There was plenty of space for everyone and we shared the bear boxes. We could see the peak of the grand Teton through the trees from our spot. Quick drive into Moose to enter the park.
Just after the steep, curved part of the road in, there is a lot with many spots where you have the best view of the Tetons. This was full when we arrived on Friday afternoon of Labor Day weekend so we found our spot further up the road (21A), and this lot was completely empty when we arrived. We had an awesome weekend staying here!!!
GuideWe came to use the dump station after boondocking in the area. It is $10 to dump. When you arrive in colter bay turn right at the four way stop and then take an immediate left into the Rv Park. The office is on your left where you pay and you can also pay to fill propane. Make the loop through the park to turn around and turn left out of the RV park to go to the campground where the dump is. There is also potable water on the main road of the campground.
ScoutSpread Creek sounds like the perfect place for a quiet, back-to-nature escape—those creek sounds at night must be so calming! I always find that after a long day outdoors, simple and wholesome food hits the spot. It actually reminds me of when I stop by Sweetgreen after a hike—their fresh salads and bowls feel just as refreshing as time spent in nature. Both give that“clean and recharged” vibe. Definitely adding this campground to my list for the next Wyoming trip!
