Forest Wonderland

I took my daughter to this campground just to day camp and hang hammocks. It was a perfect day to do so. The temp was 76 when we got there and it was the right day to get out of the heat and relax. No insects, no cell service, and lots of shade (In the spot we were in)

One of my favorites

I usually stop here if when I'm heading north from Southeast Utah and want to break up my drive (I live in North Utah).  The camping spots are pretty decent.  They sit along the Green River and provide an awesome view.  If the spots are filled continue down the road and you can find other spots to setup temporary residence.  These spots may not sit along the river, but that's ok, in some areas you can still walk down to the river through the brush and enjoy the view.  Being able to camp in this canyon and take in the environment is definitely a good way to reset and appreciate life. 

You gotta visit.

Great Campground 20ish minutes from Jenny Lake

I visited the Grand Tetons on a Saturday to do some hiking and when I was done I began to look for a campground at around 3pm. I downloaded a bunch of dispersed camping sites to my phone, because after doing this for awhile(almost 3 years) I've come to know that the camping sites are usually full on the weekend and with this unfortunate pandemic, people are still wanting to get out to spend time outdoors. But to my surprise, the Gros Ventre Campground (pronounced Grow-vont) wasn't full and it was a great spot to stay at.  I've been to a few NPs where the campgrounds are on top of each other, and they're a little cramped, which doesn't lend to much privacy, but this spot was different and gave occupants more space than I was used to.  The Gros Ventre River is nearby, so you can go for a stroll and sit by the river to cool off (Summertime) and  enjoy the view.  The crew that maintained the grounds were awesome and informative and I will definitely will be staying there on my way to Glacier National Park next month.

I highly recommend it!

Quiet as kept. Nice scene. Good camp host.

I stopped here on my way back to Utah and I'm glad I stopped here on the way back.  If I take this route again going to Cali (where I usually go) I will stop here.  The campground is right off the highway and even though you can see cars going by, the traffic is light and the campground is far enough where it doesn't bother you at all.  Each site has a bush (in varying sizes) that provides some privacy, but the space between the spots is a plus as well.  I like it here; hopefully you will as well.

This is amazing!!

This was my first time camping at this campground. There was snow everywhere, and quite a few available spaces. The spaces are decently far apart, and the bathroom facilities are warm and clean. (Theres warm water from the faucets and the toilets flush). This place is like a winter wonderland if you come during or after a snowfall. Breathtakingly beautiful.

Great campground. Spots aren't too close together.

Great campground.  The sites are separate enough where you're not to close to your neighbors.  The area was burned several years ago, so there are no trees.  However, the grass has grown back in and its still a very, VERY beautiful campground (IMO). I was able to get a spot on back to back weekends despite not having a reservation (Lucky, maybe).b The bathrooms are clean and if you park further back in the campground, that bathroom has a flushable toilet, sink and an air dryer for your hands. Pretty impressive.

This site has beautiful views!

My girlfriend and I day camped here for several hours. Even though there were numerous people here, we were still able to get a little piece of heaven from the Tony Grove Lake area for several hours.  It was well worth the visit.w

Beautiful Landscape

This location was recommended by my girlfriend Andy I'm glad we went. There were a lot of bugs, but if you're prepared for that, it was a great way to beat the heat. (This was on July 15th) 70s during the day, 40s at night. The drive going through the forest was awesome as well. The sites are well kept and they're not packed. Great place to visit.
