Teton National Forest

Within the Hoback River Area lies an abundance of recreational opportunity and amazing scenery waiting for you to enjoy. Driving south of Jackson 15 miles and heading east on Highway 191, you will find yourself driving through one of the most beautiful canyons in the surrounding area. Winding through this canyon is the designated Wild and Scenic Hoback River where crystal clear water lends itself to world-class fishing, early-season boating and peaceful camping. Off of Highway 191 to the north lies the Granite Creek drainage. This__scenic valley is home to__the designated Wild and Scenic Granite Creek which__winds it's way from the Gros Ventre Wilderness down through the mountains until it's rocky junction with the Hoback River. The Granite Creek valley provides miles of trails for hiking,__horseback riding, snowmobiling, and cross-country skiing. Also nestled at the head of the valley where the Gros Ventre Wilderness begins, is the Granite Creek Campground and Granite Creek Hot Springs as well as the beautiful Granite Falls. Enjoy a scenic drive and a soak in the hot springs during the fall or take the valley by dogsled to reach those hot waters in the winter. Year-round opportunities await those looking for adventure in the outdoors.

Good price Close to river

Coordinates are a bit off, if driving from Jackson you'll see the signs about a mile before, if going towards it there's some construction just pass and it's about a mile as well. Price is Good some spots have electric hookups, no water station or hookup. However there's a river right by the camp some of the spots have view to it.

Perfect location

Tami makes this site

What a host.

Found us a site by the river a little secluded and with a great fire pit.

Stay two nights whilst riding in the Gros Ventre mountains

Almost perfect

The campground is well maintained. Camphosts are efficient and helpful. Might be the nice vault toilet I have ever seen!! Great fishing around the bend from the campground. Only negative is the road noise, but that is a location issue and can’t be fixed!!

Hidden gem

Was a great find driving into Jackson. Stayed multiple nights. First come first served basis, and can fill up quick. Well maintained lots, clean bathrooms, bear boxes, near the river, cell service spotty. Only downside is it’s a bit of a drive into town if that is your main goal. Otherwise it is a wonderful location with a great upkeeper, Pete!

Beautiful area

There’s no place more beautiful than Jackson hole in the summer time. Really you can’t go wrong with any of the campgrounds I’ve been to in this are, but I really like the quiet, small nature of hoback.

These sites are super adorable and all of them are nice. Really I didn’t see any bad looking ones. Can’t reserve these sites though, just first come. There are some basic bathrooms, but no showers.

Really what’s great about this place is the scenery and the activities. There’s some great climbing right at hoback shield. Jenny lake is a nice hike. Backpacking along the Teton crest trail. There’s some good mountain biking right outside of the city.

Definitely hit up the snake river brewery while you’re in town! All around amazing place.

Nice, clean place, easy access

Pro: easy access, right off the highway. Con: right off the highway, traffic noise. Located right off Hwy 189/191 about 8 miles from Hoback Junction the WEST side of the highway. I camped here for 1 evening before a Grand Teton summit trip. I chose this campground for decent proximity to GTNP (45 minutes away) and the availablity and easy access of sites. I believe there were 12 sites that all had picnic tables and fire rings. There were several other cleared sites, some without tables and grills, that had alpha identifiers other than the 12 numeric sites. Not certain how many alph sites, but looked like tent only sites. They were all $15 nightly and an additional $7 for extra vehicle. They had one site with electricity, right next to the camp host. this one site is $25 a night. The campground has pit toilets, bear boxes, water, dumpsters. The Hoback Runs next to several of the campsites. I would highly recommend getting as near the river as possible to drown out the noise from the highway. Camp hosts were very nice! I only had a $20 to pay my fee with. They brought $5.00 in change back to my campsite after I placed it in the depository. They have firewood for purchase for $6.00 a bundle. I was a runner up in a Dyrt camping contest last month. with my REI gift card I purchased the Big Agnes MountainGlo tent lights and a Sea to Summit sleeping bag liner. Fun to try these out!
