Excellent National Forest Campground

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.

USFS Strong

Outstanding little USFS campground with convenient trail access for Jedediah Smith Wilderness, Alaska Basin, and Grand Teton National Park. Vault Toilets are recently updated, the water is cold and clear, the creek is beautiful, and in my 3x staying the hosts have always been extremely helpful and friendly. The road back in is long and all gravel, but easy to handle in any vehicle if you keep it a reasonable speed. There is no cell service of any sort except in random, almost impossible to find again spots. Plenty of wildlife in the area- always be bear aware!

Beautiful oasis away from it all!

Teton Canyon was an amazing getaway! Travel up to the camp ground by truck or 4 wheel drive. There was still snow and ice at the end of May! This was a beautiful campground settled in the mountains alongside a stream running with freshly melted snow. The hikes are breathtaking! We even came across an old avalanche. Super relaxing place. This is an off the grid campground. No showers or running water. There were some exceptionally clean bathroom outbuildings though. Bring plenty of firewood. Make sure to use the provided bear proof boxes too! We didn’t come across any bears, but we had a moose that frequented our site every morning! Lots of beautiful wildlife to see and hear. Pet friendly campsite and hiking!

Quiet, isolated

This is a well kept secret. Great campground. Road not terrible to the canyon. Plenty of hiking options from the campground. Pit toilets not the greatest. Plenty of sites able to reserve and walk in first come/serve. Also, national forest area great for dispersed if no sites available.

Top Notch

Great campground! There's several camping spots to choose with different coverages--trees, partial, full sun, etc. North Fork Teton Creek runs just east and is a nice little stream. There's a few trailheads to hike also. The camp hosts were awesome! Very clean pit toilets and water spigots throughout the grounds. Each campsite has bear boxes for your food, grills, and fire ring. You can also buy firewood from the hosts. Alan and his wife really try and make you feel at home. Don't be surprised if it rains often. Enjoy!

A go-to

A wonderful and small camp ground. The restrooms are a bit rough, but worth it for the hiking. Get the back loop in the woods, away from the Dusty road.

Nice relaxing campground

I've stayed here the last two summers. I love this place whenever I'm in the area. Because it's on the other side of Teton Pass, it doesn't get inundated with the tourists that come to the area. Only 19 sites, and you can reserve online. This year's (summer 2017) campground host is a super nice guy! There are also trail heads in two spots along the same road. Great area for wildlife as well!

Beautiful, quiet campground

A nice quiet campground on the western side of the Tetons, not far from The Spud Drive-In Movie Theater in Victor, Idaho. Our site sat in beautiful old growth forest and away from other campers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What amenities and facilities are available at Teton Canyon Campground?

Teton Canyon Campground offers basic but well-maintained facilities including vault toilets (recently updated) and water spigots throughout the campground. The 19-site campground features a mix of shaded and open sites situated in beautiful old-growth forest. North Fork Teton Creek runs alongside the campground, providing a scenic backdrop and access to fresh water. The campground is clean and well-kept, with helpful camp hosts. Summer camping fees are $17 per night, though the campground may be free during off-season periods.

Where is Teton Canyon Campground located and how do I get there?

Teton Canyon Campground is located on the western side of the Tetons near Driggs, Idaho. To reach the campground, you'll travel up Teton Canyon Road, which can be somewhat dusty but generally passable. A truck or 4-wheel drive vehicle is recommended, especially in early season when snow and ice might still be present. The campground sits at the gateway to the Jedediah Smith Wilderness and provides access to numerous trailheads. It's situated not far from The Spud Drive-In Movie Theater in Victor, Idaho.

Is Teton Canyon Campground close to Grand Teton National Park?

Yes, Teton Canyon Campground provides convenient access to Grand Teton National Park, though it's located on the western side of the Tetons rather than the more touristed eastern side. The campground serves as an excellent gateway for hiking into the park via trails that connect through the Jedediah Smith Wilderness and Alaska Basin. This western approach offers a less crowded alternative for accessing the Tetons while still providing stunning mountain views and wilderness experiences. The location across Teton Pass means fewer tourists compared to campgrounds within or immediately adjacent to the national park.

What do reviews say about Teton Canyon Campground?

Teton Canyon Campground receives consistently high marks for its quiet, secluded atmosphere away from the tourist crowds that frequent the eastern side of the Tetons. Visitors appreciate the beautiful setting alongside a creek with freshly melted snow, spacious campsites with varied coverage options (trees, partial shade, full sun), and excellent access to hiking trails. The campground hosts are frequently praised for being helpful and friendly. While the pit toilets are noted as basic, the overall cleanliness and natural beauty of the campground more than compensate for this minor drawback.

Are there RV accommodations at Teton Canyon Campground?

Teton Canyon Campground can accommodate RVs with a mix of pull-through and back-in sites. However, since this is a Forest Service campground, expect basic accommodations without hookups or dump stations. The road to the campground can be somewhat rough, so larger RVs might face challenges. The 19 sites vary in size and placement, with some in open areas better suited for RVs and others tucked into the forest. If planning an RV trip, consider a smaller to mid-sized rig for the best experience at this wilderness-adjacent campground.
