Spread Creek Dispersed Campground

We arrived at Spread Creek on Sunday evening, and almost every spot in this area was full except 1 spot. Luckily, this site did have a bear food storage container and a fire ring. It was a few 100 yards from a little stream, and not too far from the larger, Spread Creek itself. Within in moments of showing up, the ambassador for the area showed up and told us about the bear sightings and how they've been getting into people's food because they aren't storing it properly. He also reminded us it was a "shared" camp area. We ended up not staying the night, just because of bad vibes we felt and the outrageous amount of mosquitos and horse flies!

Really love these sites. Very popular though, even into September. We went past site 20 before we found an empty spot. Our site had two campfire rings in a massive grassy meadow, with a creek down behind it. No view of the mountains, but quiet and pretty among the trees.

Easy access to sites 1-13a for most rigs Teton views from sites 1-4 and 10. Sites 5-9 near creek. No turn around until sites 10-13. Great option for free camping but very popular

Nice views of the Tetons. Cell signal very spotty. No trails to walk with dogs. Spots are spacious. Bring your bug spray.

No significant views, I came after a big rain so towards the end of the site part of the road it got pretty muddy.

Nice Dispersed Camping. Doesn’t have Grand views of the Tetons but has nice grassy level areas and spots by the creek. If you run stuck there are big grassy sites in the back that could easily accommodate multiple campsites. Some rough road but you’ll be fine with an SUV/truck. Bring bug spray!

This area is very pretty, we saw a family of deer eating in the field on our way out this morning. The spots towards the back are few and far between, which is a plus and a minus. We ended up camping back at 9 with someone else who was already there after we asked their permission. We walked the creek in the morning, the dogs really liked it here.

Towards the back there is a loop with just a few sites, #7-13 I believe. The road on the left is #7-9 (they are spaces very far apart). The road on the right which I would recommend having 4wd accessibility for hosts sites #10-13. Since we went left, we didn't check out the right road. The back sites don't get much view but their local areas are pretty.

The front sites seemed to also be quite dispersed from eachother except for the gravel. You do get the best view of the Teton Mountain Range at the gravel, but you will likely be camped right next to someone.

It is quite cold at night mid September. Our truck showed 34 degrees in the morning about 8am.

Had a nice level spot by a creek. Lots of nice spots available. Access very good. Well maintained dirt road. For the 1st mile or so then it does get rough.There is a pay to stay area for big rv's

Decent view of the Tetons if you're in the front of the dispersed gravel patch, but it gets crowded so don't count on a view. Nice place for big rigs, porta potty included on site.

Note: we tried to take our big rig up the road to further spots past the gravel patch and I would not recommend it. The road is not wide enough for large rigs and it was exceedingly crowded in the back due to a summer camp (?) being there and tons of people.

Take a right past the big dirt area and it’s real woodsey. We saw a deer and went on fun walks down the little creek. We went to grand Teton and Yellowstone for 3 days and stayed here the whole time it was awesome and freeeeee

Stayed here to get away from crowds at the national parks. We had to drive pretty far back because we didn’t get there very early, but the spot we found was deserted, and we had a beautiful view of the Tetons with the sun setting over them while eating dinner. Campsites are huge and therefore you can get unexpected new campers sharing the site late at night. But it was very quiet and beautiful. We didn’t see any bears at the site, but there were signs and we saw 5 grizzlies the next morning in Grand Teton.

This is a very large dispersed camping area (~4-5 miles worth) with intermittently spaced sites. It does fill up very early so I would recommend trying to get a spot before 3pm. However, the further back you go, the better the views (but the bumpier the road) and gives you closer proximity to the creek. There are amazing views of the Tetons and access to the park as well as a great Verizon signal and moderate ATT. The stars on a moonless night are perfect to see - we were able to see the milky way, space station and a few satellites.

We stayed at site 10 on Forest Service road 30290. No markings on the road. Good gravel road until you hit National Forest. There is a very large gravel parking lot area for big rigs. We have a 24’ toyhauler. We stayed right and followed the road down until a T, then went left. And came across site 10. It already had a camper in it and had plenty of space. The current occupants were not keen on sharing but took our name and number if they were going to leave. We shortly got a text saying we could stay. They ended up leaving that day while we were out. Everyday since then other people have squished into our site. Every time we leave, we come back to more people. There is space but several people seam to share one spot. I guess it’s ok, but it is kinda weird people don’t even ask. It’s hard because we boondock for space and because we have a dog. But everyone is friendly so we decided may as well make friends. Fingers crossed nobody blocks us in.

We drove around for 3.5 hours looking for a campsite for a last minute trip to Grand Teton over Labor Day. This was the ONLY place we could find that had any camping spots left, and even then we had to drive pretty far back into the woods to get there. "Spread" creek dispersed campground is a very accurate name! Many of the camping spots were enormous- big enough for several campers or tents- and there was a LOT of driving space between each site, so you really feel secluded.

The location the previous reviewer left takes you to the Post Office parking lot.

We were lucky to find an open spot. There are 14 campsites dispersed down a four mile long gravel road. Part of the National Forest. Great views of the Tetons from several sites. We made it to the end of the road in our 38’ motorhome with tow vehicle attached. Just drive slow. Kids had a blast playing along Spread Creek. Tons of mosquitoes, so bring lots of bug spray. Had AT&T cell service and Verizon. Probably my favorite spot to camp on our recent trip, other than those darn mosquitoes.
