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.

About 4 sites for tents, 4 for RV, both 1/4 mile downhill hike to river. Bring waders, steep banks make fly casting tough. Cost to camp is $20/night as of August '24. Potable water a walk aways...may need 3 hands to operate. Excellent hiking opportunities.

**CAUTION STAFF STEALS FROM CAMPS*** Dropped off my cooler at my campground in a bear box. Came back from hike and my cooler packed with food for week was stolen out of bear box. Asked nearby campers who witnessed staff taking cooler. Contacted security/ staff and was brushed off. Got local police involved and the next day cooler was returned empty. Don’t make the same mistake we did. Always lock your stuff up at this campsite and do not trust the staff/ security. Thank you colter bay staff for ruining our trip.

Great experience easy to find and given the time we went no one was there.

This is a very clean and well maintained spot. Ideal for a campervan or truck camper. Good covered picnic tables and nice pit toilets Also, the reservoir was quite a pretty spot

Very well maintained campground. Stayed here for a few nights in mid-Sept 2024; no fees - end of summer season. Summer time fee is $17. Mix of pull-thru and back-in sites. Some sites are in the open; others are set back into thick forest. Campground accommodates tent campers, hammock campers, van campers, car campers, truck campers. One camper managed get his big travel trailer into a campsite. Large sites, good spacing between them. Clean vault toilets in different parts of the campground. Water was still turned on during our stay. Usually has a host, but not during my stay. Campsites are level on a gravel surface with a newish table, metal fire ring and a tent pad. Area is popular with hikers. Good trails from the campground. No T-Mobile nor AT&T cell service. The forest road accessing the campground is in good shape; access is from the Idaho side of the Tetons. Stayed in site #2 with a campervan; pull-thru site with a tent pad. A lush forest was directly behind this site. Loved camping here. Look forward to returning.

Stayed here on Sept 18, 2024. Paid $10 with senior pass. Pretty campground. Lots of pine trees. Some pull-throughs and some back-ins. Gravel campground road; may be tight in places for big rigs. Sites are dirt surface. Some leveling required. Campground accommodates tents, car camping, vans and RVs. Don't recommend large towables. Hammock camping possible. More than one vault toilet; reasonably clean and stocked. Hand water pumps, but shut off. Trash dumpsters, but locked. Some sites have easy access to the Snake River for fishing. Each site has a table, bear box, metal fire ring, and grill. Highway noise, loud at times. $20 is too high for a national forest campground fee when the water is shut off and the trash dumpsters are locked. Site 9 is large but received some odor from the nearby vault toilet. Campground host was friendly. This campground is probably a destination campground for fly fishing on the Snake River; otherwise, it's just okay for an overnight stay.

$10 ($5 with pass). Visited on Sept 19, 2024. Did not camp here; just passing through after dispersed camping down the road. Included some photos of the campground for those considering this campground in the future. It looks okay; nothing special. Easy access to Greys River for bank fishing. Vault toilet, well water pump and trash service. Sites looked small at first glance; looks unmaintained, but it's going into the winter season when I visited. Sites include a picnic table and metal fire ring.
Guide
This time of year, I was the only one in the campground. Very beautiful sunset views and very quiet. For non-residents, a bit pricey for no water, but there are pit toilets. I would highly recommend!
Traveler
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

Visited in mid-September 2024. $10 ($5 with senior pass). Did not camp here; just checking it out. Included some photos in this revciew. Except for one towable camper, I was surprised that no one else was camping here, especially considering it was hunting season. The campground was set back in the trees off of Greys River Road. Lots of trees here; lots of shade. Nice looking campground. Good size sites; appear to be level. Picnic table and fire ring included. Not much privacy between sites, but separation between sites was good. Two clean vault toilets. Hand well water pump. Trash service. No other amenities. No hook-ups. Campground appears to be well maintained. I would consider camping here in the future.

Stopped for the night on my way to South Dakota. The park is just spots and gravel (nothing great - reason for 4 stars), but the bathrooms, showers, and laundry room are great! Very clean. Free WiFi.

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.

The campground is large and open. It's arranged so that there are limited wet/energized spots, with the rest of the ground catering to tents and dry camping. In the center of the property, there is a "community" kitchen. There's also a laundry room with a heated shower for campers to use. The site has hammocks, horseshoes, Cornhole and plenty of space to fish and relax.
Would definitely recommend to friends and family.
ScoutMemory Bridge has a little bit of everything! My family of 5 loved everything it had to offer! We floated the river and docked right at the site, the kids loved the relaxing hammock park(at night there is twinkling lights in the trees), bonfires, community “kitchen” , there was a band during 4th of July! We’ll be going back!

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

Stayed at site #5 on Sept 16, 2024. Paid $42.90. Made reservation over the phone. Normally don't camp in RV parks with our camper van, but it was getting late and needed an overnight place to stay with very few options available in the area. The stay was okay; probbaly won't stay here again. Sites were close together. The campground has water and electric hookups; worked just fine. No reastroom/shower house; told that these amaneities are planned. Campground is a typical RV park with sites close to each other with no privacy. It is in a large flat open field. Some young trees were planted. Campground road and site driveways were gravel. I believe all of the sites are back-in. A few long term residents appear to be staying there in their big rigs. One of these residents, who was close behind us, woke us up at 4:20am when he started up his loud pickup truck and let it run for several minutes before departing (IMO, not good campground etiquette). Other than that, no complaints. Being a van camper, I'm nuetral about this campground. It satisfied my immediate needs at the time (simple overnight stay).

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

Camped here in the middle of Sept 2024. This primnitive campground was in offseason mode; open for hunting season. Usual fee was waived. Stayed in site #2 for one night; large site. Great site along Horse Creek and a smaller creek that emptied into it. Site was on a level dirt surface; clean. Included a bear box, picnic table and metal fire ring. Vault toilet was resonably clean considering the time of the year and had a little bit of tp in it. Water was shut off for the winter. Tent camping is possible; can't say this for hammock camping. Possible hiking nearby. No T-Mobile nor AT&T cell service. I was the only occupant in the campground. A few vehicles drove by. Otherwise, Quiet and peaceful. Would definitely consider staying here again. Loved this location.

Camped at site #6 for a few nights in early September 2024. Site #6 was set back from campground road. Level. Perfect site for campervan. Wooded. Dirt/gravel driveway and picnic area. Picnic table, grill, metal fire ring. Large "backyards" behind sites. Short walk to one of 2 single vault toilets. Campground has a hand water pump. Sites are well separated, providing a some privacy. Access to Sunset Hill hiking trail. Campground road is gravel and ends in a loop. Campground is very quiet and peaceful. Only a few other campers here during our stay. Did receive T-Mobile data service. The road approaching the campground from the east is a little rough in places. Wonderful campground; would stay here again.

We dispersed camped north of MeadowLark Lake along FS Road 427 I believe! It was beautiful, and so peaceful. We did get stormed on but our tent held out really well! These dispersed sites are developed and first come first serve. We enjoyed our coffee next to the river!
No water or Toilets so plan accordingly, and check out the Bighorns USDA Website for any burn bans or camping information you may need!
There are bears out in this forest, recommend putting all food in your hard sided truck, Car, or camper! A human fed bear is a dead bear!
Guide
We stayed overnight. When we got to the campsite on the beach we were so excited! Walked out to out our stuff down, and looking at the ground it was OVERRUN with giant ants! It looked like it was an apocalypse film with the critters. We moved our tent far away from the tree they were on and were able to set up shop. The facilities were okay, the lake was beautiful! Definitely recommend not camping straight on the beach unless you don’t mind ants and buggy critters.
Guide
We camped here in early October. The skeletal remains of the buildings were on private property, however the roads and such were on BLM land so we parked right across from the buildings and set up the Truck Camper. There’s a plaque that explains the history of the town up the road from the buildings, and just beyond that a ways is the cemetery. It was sad to see all the graves as they were children and infants who died from the Spanish Flu or Diptheria. One gentleman we ran in to said the town wasn’t merely bulldozed but also buried! We had fun walking around and camping there for the night. There were no sounds! It was VERY quiet! No birds, crickets, insects, or wildlife. Just the gentle breeze, and one lone coyote at about 2 am.
There are no toilets or water, so prepare accordingly.
There was also a burn ban in effect so we used our portable camping stove. Make sure to check burn bans before you camp! We had so much fun, and hope other people visit too. Please be respectful of this historical relic so it can be around for as long as it can! Don’t damage your History!
Definitely recommend 4 wheel drive to traverse this area. The roads are rocky, rutted, and worn down!

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.
Scout
Designated dispersed camping - spots had bear boxes. Potentially crowded, I had a big space to myself. Beautiful views, quiet - river nearby
Scout
Great spot for a stop on your trip or as a base camp for exploring the area. Spaces are big and spread out. Everything was clean and well maintained,
