Description

National Forest

Upper Teton View Dispersed camping is a fantastic destination for those who enjoy primitive camping and stunning natural scenery. The campsite is located on the east side of the Teton Range in Wyoming, offering a remote and peaceful camping experience with breathtaking views of the Teton Range. The campground is located in a dispersed camping area, but the lack of amenities is more than made up for by the feeling of being immersed in nature. The Teton Range offers hiking trails, mountain biking routes and fishing opportunities. Visitors can also explore nearby Yellowstone National Park, which is home to a wide range of wildlife, including bison, elk and grizzly bears. Additionally, the campsite is located near several hot springs and natural swimming areas, providing a refreshing and unique way to cool off after a long day of outdoor activities.

Popular and convenient

This area seems to be very popular. It is very close to the Grand Tetons. There is spotty Verizon signal. Because it is very popular I would suggest larger rigs to arrive earlier in the day in order to get a spot. There seems to be an abundance of camping areas. I stayed here for three nights and was unable to camp at the same location each night. Great views and people around me were polite and quiet.

The road is very rough. We drove up, but there were a lot of very rough patches. The place was full, so we continued on to find another area.

Very nice free campsites near Grand Teton NP

This was a nice peaceful stay. Only about 15 minutes from the park entrance at Grand Teton and maybe about 45 minutes from Yellowstone NP. The place has a fire ring and also a bear food bin for food storage. And even a bathroom at the entrance of the camp site!

Great view

Great view of the Tetons and plenty of space. Close to Park entrance. We pitched a tent in an open area with plenty of spots available. The wind picked up unexpectedly...if you're tent camping, be sure to stake it well! Bugs weren't much of an issue, but we were at a spot out in the open with continual breeze.

Beautiful view and lots of bugs

The first night the wind was blowing a little bit and the mosquitos weren’t too bad. I thought the reviews were being a bit dramatic. Our second night the weather was still and the bugs were INSANE. We covered up and had bug spray but we (including the dogs) got eaten up. Besides that, this is a beautiful place. A little busy, as it was a weekend in July, but we had no problem finding spots. There are 27 sites, some with A and B locations. 4-6 is on the right side of the Y, 7-27 on the left. We drove around looking at all of the spots and Site 27 was unreal. Great location outside of the Tetons. Easy to get to. Roads weren’t bad at all. Ranger was driving around checking on everything.

Lots of space

First two spots do have bathrooms, however they are packed. We drove up quite a way and found a spot to stay. Zero wildlife. And the bugs was INTENSE. But plenty of areas to have a campfire and it is secluded and views of the Tetons! And close to everything.

Good campground

This was my first dispersed camping trip so I didn't know what to expect. There were ALLOT of.open spots, you have to search for one that fits your needs like if the view is more important or shade. The only downside was the dust it is very dusty, in fact so much so that I couldn't have my windows open. However I had one of the most used sites so it had less vegetation to block dust. Like I said be sure to pick based.on your needs and expectations, had I known more about his huge site I would have picked better. This site is free with just a donation box. It have vault toilets which are surprising clean and not as smelly as most places I have been. All in all O would recommend this site

Amazing!

Plenty of camping sites with easy access from #26. I stayed in site 21 (43.7658752, -110.5415921) just passed the bigger lot where most of the campers were at. The site backed up against the forest to the East and a little spring on the North side. Was able to see the top of the mountain range to the West that made the sunsets perfect. Stayed Wednesday & Thursday, during the day it stayed pretty quiet, the evenings got busy with others trying to find a free spot and was able to hear everyone camping up the road on 30311A. Mosquitos were not as bad as expected, flies and bees were more of a bother.

Can’t beat these views

Arrived around noon two days before fourth of July and there were plenty of spots, but quickly filled throughout the day. Spot 19 has amazing views of the tetons and is pretty secluded from the road. Being so close to the park was such a plus and the gravel road was not hard to navigate at all. Two downsides for us were the amount of mosquitos and the low temps at night (29 degrees in July) so bring your bug spray and the correct gear to stay warm!

Awesome view

We spent one night mid May here on the way to Yellowstone. The view was awesome. With that said the upper road to the main camping area was closed off by the forest service at the lower parking area / pit toilet. The view made it worth the trip up. Not sure when the road will open up to the main dispersed site. Be aware that there is only enough room for about 20 campers / vans in the lower area. There is room for about another 15 cars and tent camping. Arrive early! Plenty of hiking and well worth it if you get a spot!

We showed up around 2pm and found a spot. Spots are separated a good amount to let the pups play. Awesome view!!! We parked farther back, the front row spots were very very packed, people parking on top of each other. But it was very clean and gorgeous!!!

Beautiful view

My husband and I got to this spot at about 11:30am and we only saw one camp spot available, so get there early! It fills up quick! There’s beautiful views of the Teton mountains as people say, the roads are a bit rough and inclined but that’s everywhere in the west really:) no four wheel drive needed at all. We have a 2 wheel drive truck and a 16ft camper that made it up and down just fine. It’s also a narrow road up to the upper camping area so stay going slow and watch for others coming the opposite way!!! If the top part gets full it’s pretty packed together, and people stayed in spots that were not designated camp sites. Also our site was full of trash and someone DIDNT pick up after their dog! Always leave nothing but footprints! Practice leaving no trace!

Amazing views and wildlife encounters

There are about 27 designated spots to camp in this area, you pull off onto toppings lake access and go from there! There’s one vault toilet at the beginning on the camping area but it’s a bit far if you camp further back. I didn’t get much service with verizon but I did get full bars at elk flat pull out or something like that down the road. Also close to Jackson and extremely close to the national park. It was a spectacular stay with my pup, we loved the views and how many animals we saw!
