We only stayed one night because of the heavy dune buggy traffic. We stayed on a Saturday night so on the weekends, be prepared for lots of people turning up dust on there Polaris and off roaders! If this is up your alley? This spot is perfect for you. We noticed two OHV trails on the way to our spot.
I would still stay again but definitely during the week. The trick here is to find a tree because the sun, even in late September, is brutal. The stars at night were amazing and it was quiet after 11pm (due to the weekend)
It’s about 25 minutes to town where all the shops are. Only 12 minutes to Devils bridge trailhead.
This was a last minute stop for us on our cross country trip, great place to stay before going to the Canyon, about 45 minutes away but an easy drive. We arrive late at night around 11:30pm and there were a few RVs and tents. The road was well maintained, my Honda Civic sport did fine on it which is low to the ground. We found a spot but it seems like you could pull off anywhere on the gravel road. The highway is close so if you are looking for total silence, this isn’t you place. We also didn’t go too far back but I would stay there again if I need a quick place to throw up my tent.
So there isn’t a spot marked in Dyrt for where we stayed but it’s quite close to Middle Fork so I’ll leave my review here. If you go about 4 miles north on N Fork rd, Glacier Rim will be on your right. It wasn’t nearly as busy as Middle Fork was. We checked Middle fork first and everyone was on top of each other and the road was rough getting down to. Glacier Rim? A night and day different and we got service!!
We were able to park on the beach, right on the flathead river and watch the rafters go by. We met some awesome locals who shared our fire with us on our last night. We only stayed two days because the air quality became hazardous due to the west coast fires, cutting our glacier trip short. But, at this spot, you can take Blankenship road right to the West Glacier entrance.
This spot is one of my favorite dispersed sites I’ve ever stayed at. We stayed for 3 nights but could stay up to 16. Next time, I may stay the whole time. There are probably 8 to 10 spots total but 4 miles down, there is a field for group parking if you can’t find a spot, you can throw up a tent or car camp comfortably. There is also a trailhead there as well as an outhouse.
We were able to find a spot about two miles in, huge area that would be perfect for a group. Lots of room for parking and if you go in the woods, there were many made fire rings and spots to throw up tents.
We had a fire every night and the stars were out of this world. Beaver creek river is magical. I spent a whole day by the river, collecting rocks and sunbathing. 30 minutes to the west Yellowstone entrance, there is also a cute town right before you go into the park.
Please pack in/pack out. This place is a hidden gem. I can’t wait to go back and enjoy it again. Also! Horse friendly!!!
I stayed here for 5 nights over Labor Day weekend and am grateful we got a spot on Wednesday because it was busy. It’s just past Triangle X if you are coming from Jackson.
The sites are a decent size and there are many. I would recommend having a AWD if you want to get any site with a view but I took my Civic Sport and was able to still get a secluded spot. But past the first few sites on the right, I would recommend an suv or truck because how rocky the gravel road. I really enjoyed staying here but if you are looking to explore the town, it takes an hour one way to get there but the views are magical along the way.
It only takes 25 mins to get to Bradley or Taggart lake, which there are some great trails that lead there and north to Amphitheatre lake. Which I would recommend as well.
First, it’s a rocky road up the mountain. You can get to the paid campsite in a car, I took my Honda Civic sport but took extreme caution and that was as far as we could take my low rider. BUT! If you have an AWD, go up as far as you can. We had a CRV too and climbed up the mountain and it was worth it.
The view of the Tetons was the best we had all trip aside from going into the national parks and hitting the trail heads. It’s a pack in/pack out and no fires. There were tons of spots which are spaced out so you aren’t on top of anyone and it’s the closest dispersed camp to Jackson Hole. It takes some time to get up there 30/45 mins, the roads are rutted from use.
When I come back to Jackson, I will stay here over and over again. I didn’t see a day limit but I’m assuming it’s 5 days.
