Jackson Hole Dispersed Camping

This site is a few miles east of the Mormon Flats Historical Site in Jackson WY. The road going up to the sites is very rough and will test even 4x4 vehicles. It’s free dispersed camping, so there are no facilities of any kind. We were able to get a set facing west about 1/2 up the mountain. The sites at the entrance are not the best. You will need to drive up the road a good ways to find site during the summer. The sites have visitors as well as summer workers camping for weeks at a time on the shaded or eastern side sites. Our site had a partial view of Tetons with plenty of space for 3 or 4 vehicles. Unfortunately, previous campers had left garbage and waste on the perimeter of the camp. In the summer, the sun is very hot for the west facing sites. The view is the highlight here. The first few elevated sites have incredible million dollar views of the Tetons. The Mormon Flats Historical Site at the bottom of the mountain is well worth the visit. We experienced people driving into the site all day and night to find the free sites. This was a huge downside. We tried this camp but came away disappointed by the overuse and traffic and would not recommend. It’s just a bit to primitive and unregulated. I think some volunteers and a perhaps more involvement from the Forest Service could help here.
