  Shadow Mountain Campground

  High clearence needed, peaceful, great views of the Tetons

  This is a great location if you are exploring the Teton/Jackson area. It's a little far to camp here and then go to Yellowstone.

  There are a lot of camping spots that are dispersed to choose from, but keep in mind that even with the low amount of reviews here it's a well known spot to locals.

  We stayed here in June and finally found a spot after passing dozens of filled ones, only to see about half a dozen other vehicles drive by looking for somewhere to park.

  This is true back-country camping, pack in and pack out. No potable water is available and no facilities so be prepared with all your needs before coming here. Also note that this is bear country so be prepared with food and smell management to limit attracting them in.

  The Sunset over the Tetons was amazing and we would stay here again in the future.

  Crazy Woman Canyon Road - dispersed camping

  Best kept secret, beautiful bolders, fast moving river

  This is a one of those secret locations that you look for, the one you don't want to give away but show all your friends pictures of it. If this was a fishing spot you wouldn't tell other anglers about it. If it was a special hunting location you would keep your lips sealed.

  Crazy woman canyon gets it's name from a few different legends, but that's not the point of this gem. The tranquility, peace, towering canyon walls that make you feel so small, the freedom of the outdoors and back country quietness, that's what this place should be known for.

  We saw wildlife, we relaxed with the sound of the river, this was an unforgettable experience.

  Keep in mind there are no facilities here, no toilets, no potable water, no showers, you need to pack in and pack out. This is true back-country camping. The roads are narrow and traffic goes both ways, we had to pass another truck and were just inches from the edge with rushing water below. But this is Wyoming, this is the wild west, one of the great frontiers of the American expansion.

  Come here, it's worth it.

  Shadow Mountain Dispersed Camping

  Best Campsite Ever!!

  We went in July and it was packed!! We came in at sunset and we drove around for over a hour trying to find a campsite. Everywhere was full but a lady let us stay on her site since it was really big. But everything was perfect! Best views ever!!! I would definitely recommend getting there early to get a spot!

  Grey River Dispersed Camp

  Keep camping

  So there’s a few good spots. there’s a shooting range near by so you’ll hear gun shots but it’s all very safe. I usually camp down here every time I’m in town

  Grey's River 10138L Dispersed

  Wonderful Riverside Dispersed Campsite

  Coordinates: 42.78898,-110.68746. Free. Camped here Sept 17, 2024. One of several dispersed campsites along Greys River Road (Forest Road 10138). Large dispersed site, set back from forest road; no concerns with dust coming into the site from passing vehicles. Should comfortably accommodate 3 or 4 rigs. Clean rock fire ring. Mostly level, dirt surface. Easy access from forest road. Open site surrounded by trees. Next to Grey's River; easy access for bank fishing. There is a set of trees that may accommodate hammock camping. Tent camping also possible. Area can get muddy after rain. Solar recharging possible in middle of afternoon. No T-Mobile nor AT&T cell service. Loved this spot.

  Loads of sites along the FS roads out here, you don’t have to look hard, easier with more ground clearance

  Government Gully Rd - Dispersed

  Beautiful, But Windy

  Stayed 5 days here (stat limit 16 days). Close to Summit Rest Area (potable water March-October, flush toilets), Laramie for restocks, and the Vedauwoo Recreation Area. So much free camping here, only downsides are wind, & road noise. Absolutely beautiful views of the valley. Would stay again 100%

  Lost Dog FS012 Dispersed

  dispersed camping

  Forest service (dirt) road leading to Lost Dog day use area in Flaming Gorge. There are places along the road to pull off and boondock, with great sunrise and sunset views and occasional glimpses of the gorge. looks like it might be dicey after heavy rain

  Moran Vista on Forest Road 30290

  Great for a night

  I wouldn't camp here for a few days, but this is great for a night's stay. Close to the park, 10 minutes on a good gravel road. Large area with a lot of space.

  Beautiful spot

  Designated dispersed camping - spots had bear boxes. Potentially crowded, I had a big space to myself. Beautiful views, quiet - river nearby

  Middle Baxter Road

  agreed. not a great spot

  It's fairly quiet except when trucks are driving by which can be often at times. it's nice and open but when the wind shifted i got a smell from the refinery that was unpleasent. i don't believe i would stay here again unless i needed to. good for a short stop if needed. plenty of room.

  Solitude and crisp Fall Mornings

  Very few other boondockers, and well dispersed. Very quiet with minimal traffic.

  Middle Baxter Road

  This is a joke

  It's just a little area to pull out directly behind an oil processing facility

  Why is this even on this app?!

  Pacific Creek (FR 30090) Designated Dispersed Campsite

  Great Spot!

  Fantastic Spot but very busy, I got to the site at 6pm (admittedly) a lil late but all the spots were filled up. Thankfully was able to get in with someone and the spot I think was 10 but amazing spot. Cold morning but so worth it

  Cody BLM Dispersed

  Two Nights in an amazing spot

  We found this spot to stay overnight before visiting Cody and the Buffalo Bill Center of the West. We got a great spot with amazing views of the sunset. The road is rough in just a couple of spots, but we saw vans and a large Class C make it up here no problem. It was very quiet at night. There is a highway to the north, but the hills block most of the noise. Verizon cell reception was poor but did work. Starlink had super fast speeds. Sites were clean and definitely worth a look.

  Forest Road 30310 Dispersed Campsite

  Overnight stay near Grand Tetons

  Found on Google Maps Free dispersed camping in allowed areas.
  There are a few fire rings and a pit toilet.
  There were quite a few campers but was actually quiet.
  Beautiful sunset over the Tetons.

  Shadow Mountain Dispersed Camping

  Coolest Campsite I’ve ever stayed at

  This free dispersed site was absolutely unreal. We met the most amazing people and go to watch the sunrises, sunsets, thunderstorms and rainbows over the Tetons each and every day. Truly an amazing experience and I hope everyone can make it out here some day. We stayed at site #9 and honestly I think it’s the best site on the entire campground. Everyone was wondering how we snagged it and I said “get there earlier in the morning” haha. Enjoy:)

  Pacific Creek (FR 30090) Designated Dispersed Campsite

  Spot #5 was very nice

  Dispersed Camping space #5 was very nice. We decided to pull our 29' travel trailer only partway into the space to find the most level spot. But we still had some 4 acres all to ourselves! The mosquitos were not fooling around though!

  Sanger Public Access Area on North Platte River

  Great Spot!

  A little way off of WY-130 on a good dirt road. Good for up to mid-size trailers or smaller. Scattered informal sites, no water or hookups, two pit toilets. Signs indicate that camping is OK. Beautiful location on the North Platte River.

  Big Sandy Dam and Reservoir

  Great spot to pull off for the night!

  Really nice view right by the water with the mountains in the distance. Saw lots of birds, pronghorns, horses, and a couple of jack rabbits. Easy road, good service, picnic area, overall all pretty barebones but nice spot!

  Shadow Mountain Campground

  Better Than Anything You Could Pay For

  Absolutely the best the USFS dispersed system has to offer. Unbeatable views, understanding site neighbors, attentive host, and all the peace and quiet you can tolerate. Be forewarned, after you drive all the way back to the dispersed site area, MOST of 40+ sites are up a steep, 4x4 required hillside, many aren’t level enough for tenting, and all are in bear country, but again- WORTH IT. Have been here 3x now and will be back.

  Buckboard Cove Dispersed Campsite

  Buckboard Cove

  Nice river side camping on a rock beach. Antelope, deer and birds of all kinds are plentiful. There are 2 roads each has at least one really nice dispersed camping spot.
