Snake River Dispersed - Rockefeller Memorial Parkway

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!

Just outside of Yellowstone, right on the river, clean vault toilet, bear box, fire pit, picnic table, and FREE.

There are multiple campsites on Grassy Lake Road/Flagg Ranch Road just off of the John D Rockefeller Jr. Parkway connecting the Grand Tetons to Yellowstone. Many could accommodate larger RVs, though we were in a pop-up. The site was beautiful and I saw more moose driving to my campsite than I did driving through Yellowstone.

The river is beautiful and many campsites are right on its banks. My daughter and son Kayaked from Yellowstone’s south entrance to the campsite and had a blast.  I thought the waterfalls at the south end were the most beautiful in the park.  We spent days climbing and hiking around them.

There is no power or water other than the river. Water proved to be a problem for us, though with planning you could fill jugs up while in the park and we showered in the center of Yellowstone at Grant Village.

Several of the camp areas have multiple sites but many further up are single sites you would have all to yourself. Though it’s pseudo-wilderness camping, I would be tempted to pay handsomely for the privilege to be in a quiet campsite next to a beautiful river outside of Yellowstone…but it was FREE.
