Beautiful site, not conducive for privacy

Amazing site but not friendly if you need a private place. There’s woods here and there but trees are sparse and tall grasses are tick-friendly. Stunning other than that. You can drive down to the bathroom at the very front though which is clean and nice.

Unbelievable Views with Campfire Camp

This boondocking location was amazing. It had one of the best views on your trip so far and we have been everywhere! The sites are spacious and they have deep fire rings. The nights are nice and chilly to warm around the camp fire. One of the few places that allows campfires so that was a real treat. There are plenty of piles of dead trees around that you can collect for firewood. No hook ups so come prepared. No bear sightings, but we saw some wild bison in the field below. Bring bug spray and citronella because the mosquitos bite. 

We were able to use our generator a few hours a day to get things done, just be courteous of run time and neighbors. We didnt leave the site and explore much because it was just so beautiful. 

There is a 5 day limit and the camp hosts are good about checking. 

We made it up there with out 29ft travel trailer with no issues just take it slow.

Chaos and Mayhem

Even though we’d been striking out at every spot near the Tetons, we thought we’d give this one a shot. Nope. The lower section was packed tighter than an RV park (though there was one spot available that we could have, but chose not to, squeeze into). 

The upper area was just a madhouse. RVs of every size shoved into every free space. The 30 ft max rule is not heeded. Even if by chance there was room for us up there, it’s not a place where we would have enjoyed our time. The road up was doable in our 26ft class C. If you’re used to unpaved rough rocky roads then this will be easy. 

No water or garbage so packing and pack out. There was a pit toilet at the lower camping area. No cell service.

Can't beat free99 with a view

We got to the campground at 4 we were lucky enough to get site 16 with a pretty good view of the Tetons. Around 630 it appeared all the sites were full as we saw a lot of vehicles heading back down the road. So I'd suggest getting there fairly early.

The sites go way back so it you don't get one of the closer site you won't have the views.

The bathroom is also located at the entrance so you'll have to walk to the bathroom or dig or if your rig has one your in luck.

Beautiful!

This is a great spot to stay if you have no site booked at the payable grounds, and if you have a vehicle capable of making the trip up. The road leading to the first sites and bathroom, which is locked early in the season due to the area being overused in the winter(snowmobiles are used frequently on the road and trails in the area), is heavily grooved due to 4x4 vehicles using it often. Once to the sites, you have a beautiful view over the valley below and the Tetons past that. Fire rings can be made with rocks in the area, and many are already established by previous campers. The camp hosts are always very kind and friendly as well. There is a small creek nearby, about 60 yards or so. The sun sets behind the Tetons, and doesn't shine directly onto tents until later in the morning due to the mountain cover behind the sites. There is one bear box near the camp hosts spot. This is the only one we saw on the road, but granted we did not travel all the Way up the road. Get here early if you want a good spot as they fill quickly, depending on the time of year you visit. 10/10 would recommend these sites if you don't mind minimalist camping off of a dirt road!

Closest, best free option

Amazing site and the views at the top of the road meadow are outstanding. road can be a bit steep and full of rocks so be wary. 

Its a quick turn off the main road so slow down once you get close you shouldn't miss it it has a small wood post sign and a large gate open with a camping advisement board a bit further up.

Amazing views, hard to believe it's free!

We spent four nights here and enjoyed every bit of it. Unbelievable views of Grand Teton and the surrounding area from virtually every site in this spot. No facilities that we saw, but had enough service to work remotely with our cell booster. The road up was tough but manageable in our low-clearance converted shuttlebus. Would absolutely stay again, if only for the views!

Awesome views

This was one of the coolest places we camped on our cross country road trip. We stayed at the last site at the very end. The road to the last site is a 4x4 only as it is dirt up a steep hill, but very worth it. We arrived around 3pm and got the last spot so get here early

Stunning view

Gorgeous view of the mountains, steep uphill the way I came but there are more circuitous routes that seemed kinder. Apparently bears are active up there fall/early winter so keep that in mind

Beginning of winter camping

Decided to visit Yellowstone right before the first big storm, this campsite handled the rain well, hard surface, mud in the back sites but pretty solid near the entrance area by the restroom. Clean restroom, and clean area.

Amazing!

Easy to find, amazing views, and you meet the nicest people! Dirt road up is about a mile. Previous reviewer said 4wd needed. It is absolutely not necessary. Sign says no rigs over 30ft but there were plenty of larger rigs up there.

Nice Views

Drove to the upper area with 35 foot 5th wheel and you need 4-wheel drive.  A bit dicey in one area but worth the trip.  (There is a sign coming off the main road for any RV longer then 30 foot to got the the next site up the road another mile.)  Host at site did not say anything about our stay (3 nights).  A bit smoky due to forest fires in CA, but great sights/views early in the morning.  We stayed two nights three weeks later as we headed back south.  Stayed in lower area and it was also just as great, although views not as nice.

Simply Beautiful

Our 33ft class A was able to get up to the Upper Teton View but only with some serious finagling. If you're a confident driver do it, otherwise caution.

The site is gorgeous, the views immaculate, was crowded when we visited but so was everywhere because of post-Covid travel. Highly recommend! (Bugs definitely an issue as someone else mentioned)

FREE CAMPING WITH THE BEST VIEWS OF TETONS.

Such a great spot!! Turn into forest road 30310 (almost across the street the The Cunningham Cabin historic site). Pass the first campground landing and continue up the gravel road. When the road forks, take the road on the left. Follow it up and BAM, you have several amazing spots to chose from.

Make sure to bring bug spray!

We have a 22ft rpod and got up just fine with four wheel drive

Free camp with a view!

This is an awesome camp area! There is actually 5 miles of gravel road that has different dispersed campsites. We stayed on the upper Teton loop which was popular but worth it! One bear box on the loop. Many fire pits to signify each camp site. Both tents and Large RVs. We have a 28’ bumper pull - roads are a bit rough but fine. Our neighbors saw some black bear in the area. You’re in the middle to both entrances of the GTNP.
