Bridger-Teton National Forest

Dispersed camping is the term used for camping anywhere in the National Forest OUTSIDE of a designated campground. Dispersed camping means no services; such as trash removal, and little or no facilities; such as tables and fire pits, are provided. Some popular dispersed camping areas may have toilets.There are extra responsibilities and skills that are necessary for dispersed camping. It is your responsibility to know the camping rules and regulations to make your experience safe, and to keep the natural resources scenic and unspoiled for other campers.

Due to over use and high impacts, certain areas in the Jackson Hole Valley have had designated sites numbered for use. This is to help lessen the amount of impact on the resource. See map for designated spaces: https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd629695.pdf

Beautiful but buggy

We arrived around noon on a Sunday and landed spot #9, which was pretty epic. The road is great and there were several open sites on the way up. Some spots were broken up into several smaller spots (a-c). Spot #9 was near the top and had near 360 views, perfect for sunset over the Tetons.

…but the bugs. I spent several hours in the tent just to get some relief and make it to sunset. The flies and mosquitoes were horrible! Beware.

Beware of mosquitoes

Drove through the whole mountain, only found one available spot on a Wednesday. The mosquitoes were so bad , we ended up leaving before the night set. Driving through the mountain I did see other great spots with grand Teton views that were already occupied . ATT and Verizon Service
