Snake River Dispersed - Rockefeller Memorial Parkway

The view was amazing. It was really easy to get back here. Got to listen to the river all night. All the “official” spots were taken but we found a pull off that did just fine!

We drove from west Yellowstone and arrived around noon. There were some camp sites available at camp site 1. It gets crowded at evening. The site is close to south entrance of Yellowstone and there is a restaurant nearby (less than a mile).

This is a fantastic spot. NFS calls the designated dispersed area “Grassy Lake Rd” as an FYI. 8 specific sites. We stayed in #6 for 4 nights. About 5.5 miles off main road - creek running behind the site. Each site has a pit toilet (site 6 is an individual site), trash, bear box, fire pit and picnic table. NFS stops by DAILY to empty your trash and clean the bathroom. Very kind and respectful - spoils you for sure! Would definitely come back to this spot. As to be expected camping in the wilderness, mosquitos were pretty heavy in early July. Also very close to (couple of miles) to the south entrance of Yellowstone.

Great spot for camping if you get there early and you don’t mind people driving by looking for spots at any hour. This area should not be advertised as dispersed camping, strict site camping with signs everywhere. We had to drive an hour+ up the road, requiring 4x4, to get to National Forest and legally camp. We slept in our car, uncomfortable with how much human traffic there was and the possibility of bears in camp. Make sure to properly store food, there are only site specific bear boxes after camp 1.

That being said, it was a beautiful drive out in the morning and was a convenient location between Yellowstone and Grand Teton.

This campground was nice. Bathroom is well kept and stocked. This one even had soap. We arrived around 6pm in our Winnebago van and there were still a few available spaces.

Convenient to the south entrance of Yellowstone, this camping area was very busy. We ended up driving many miles down the well maintained dirt road trying to find a spot. Ended up at a little trailhead outside the boundaries of the park. Road got pretty rough. Overall, it’s a pretty area by the river. By the time we found a place to stop, I did not have cell service with Verizon. Basically, tons of camping spots, but very few available. Get there early !

Right between Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. You don't have to share this spot with anyone. It comes with a bear box to store your food, a bear proof trash can, picnic table, metal fire ring, and last but not least, your own private pit toilet. Tons of space also.

Perfect free camping spot. 4 official sites although more could fit if needed

Best campground view of our entire trip and neighbors let us squeeze into their spot because the sun was setting and we were desperate. It says there are only 5 sites but there's plenty of space for more!

beautiful luna llena put us to sleep. Set up camp right by the river and slept to the sounds of the water flowing. "neighbors" were super friendly and welcoming. right in between yellowstone entrance and teton. Also super close to lodge/ visitors center (wasn't operating when we went) and little mart if you need anything. 

beautiful spot!

We really enjoyed camping here. Many campsite options, close to water, trash cans, bear boxes, and clean bathrooms at every site. No cell service. Beautiful view of the mountains. Roads were a little rough but definitely do able. Super close to Yellowstone and Tetons. The road was hard to find, you have to enter a camp first. Also it was free!
