We were supposed to stay at the KOA, but they had water damage issues and told us of this campground, right around the corner. Small close together spaces for each site, but they are required with a fire ring. The showers and toilets worked well, but there was no hot water that lasted longer than a few minutes. You get limited tokens for showers and they are the only way to turn them on. They have a restaurant, which is very delicious. It has a very nice home town feel. Good service as well. They sell firewood, but it is very expensive, I would recommend driving half a mile to the grocery store in the town to get wood for less than half the price. Wildlife passes through frequently, and we were able to see a moose walking through the woods right next to our site. The staff is very friendly.

This is a great spot to stay if you have no site booked at the payable grounds, and if you have a vehicle capable of making the trip up. The road leading to the first sites and bathroom, which is locked early in the season due to the area being overused in the winter(snowmobiles are used frequently on the road and trails in the area), is heavily grooved due to 4x4 vehicles using it often. Once to the sites, you have a beautiful view over the valley below and the Tetons past that. Fire rings can be made with rocks in the area, and many are already established by previous campers. The camp hosts are always very kind and friendly as well. There is a small creek nearby, about 60 yards or so. The sun sets behind the Tetons, and doesn't shine directly onto tents until later in the morning due to the mountain cover behind the sites. There is one bear box near the camp hosts spot. This is the only one we saw on the road, but granted we did not travel all the Way up the road. Get here early if you want a good spot as they fill quickly, depending on the time of year you visit. 10/10 would recommend these sites if you don't mind minimalist camping off of a dirt road!

The campground name is called big paint. The location is very nice, right next to the river. I wouldn't exactly call it a river though. It's nice and quiet, and very nice trail runs through it as well. The only thing is the sites are very close together
