Amazing Views

We stayed in the first area - upper area was still closed. There is a pit toilet. All kinds of campers (car, van, RV's, etc...) When you wake up in the morning, the lot will be full. The views are amazing! Stayed in May of 2024.

Nice area

We stayed in the first area of the road to the lake, pit toilet and camp host. Room for maybe 6 or 7 rv's and 4 tent van campers. Unfortunately at night if there is room someone will park in the spot.

Lots and Lots

The upper lot will satisfy…a lot! • A dirt lot with lots of space! Our fifth wheel was in and out easy peasy. *40ft long and 13.5ft tall. • Lot of all types of campers: trailers, tents, and sprinters. With lots of people (and kids too) not the place to go to be alone— but very safe and friendly crowd! • Lots of incredible views! From the sun setting on the Grand Tetons, to the lush grassy forest floor.

The road to the top lot is quite bumpy, but fairly short!

After spending a few hours navigating Shadow Mountain only to find many sites marked with chairs holding spots, we stumbled upon this gem! Well worth the trouble to find it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What amenities are available at Toppings Lake Campground?

Toppings Lake Campground offers minimal amenities, typical of dispersed camping. There is a pit toilet available in the first camping area, and a camp host is sometimes present. The campground doesn't provide water, electricity, or garbage services, so campers should come prepared with all necessary supplies and plan to pack out their trash. What the campground lacks in facilities, it makes up for with amazing views of the surrounding landscape.

Is dispersed camping allowed at Toppings Lake?

Yes, dispersed camping is available at Toppings Lake. The area features different camping sections, including an upper lot with ample space for various camping setups and a first area near the road to the lake. Both areas accommodate different types of camping including RVs, trailers, tents, and vans. While it's dispersed camping, it tends to be quite popular, so sites can fill up quickly, especially at night when late arrivals may park in available spots.

How do I access Toppings Lake for camping?

Toppings Lake can be accessed via a dirt road that leads to multiple camping areas. The upper lot is spacious and can accommodate larger vehicles, including fifth wheels up to 40 feet long and 13.5 feet tall. There's also a first camping area closer to the lake. Note that the upper area may be closed seasonally (typically in winter and early spring). For the best chance of securing a spot, arrive early as the camping areas tend to fill up completely by morning.
