gorgeous, however!!!

The road leading to this campsite is rough and only gets tougher as you get closer. Beautiful, absolutely silent, (and a great option if you didn’t get a yellowstone or tetons campsite) but the road is not for the faint of heart or engine!

(edit: another review mentioned that the road is being paved for next season!)

Privacy in the cool woods with great trout fishing

The rough road twists around colorful ecosystems and lands in a campground that mother nature has started to reclaim. If you like sleeping in cool, private woods with fishing a walk away, you'll love this place. We caught and ate all the trout and whitefish we could handle. Nights got down to thirty-four degrees Fahrenheit, making for chilly pees. Would not recommend a RV driving this road, but the drive is worth it. Went three nights without cell connection, which is a good experience in itself.

Primitive & Private

Just slightly past Crystal Creek Campground and it’s overflow, you will find many forest service roads. But this one in specific, right behind is one of the most primitive and private campsite service I have ever found. Besides the hustle and bustle of ATVs every now and again- there’s nothing but peace, quiet, and the soft hum of a river near by. There is a HUGE grassy area and I swear it’s one of the most beautiful campsites I’ve ever visited. To get to this campground you’d go down “Gros Ventre” road, where there are many campsites almost over a hundred. You just have to have a little adventure & willpower in your mind to find them. And also, don’t be afraid of being completely alone. Because that’s exactly what you’ll find camping here! I loved it.

My Favorite

This place is off the beaten path and close to slide lake. You can camp right on the river. Great area. Double check it is still open. It flooded out last season

Popular with lots of options

Rolled our Sprinter into this area during a hailstorm but the next day, wow! Such a spectacular area!

Lots of sites here, there's a pay campground but plenty of distributed sites as well. A lot of them are tucked into the trees so you might not even know you have a neighbor. Plenty of room for everyone!

There's some really nice hiking here too. Despite the amount of people camping, we were alone on the trail most of the time.

Great basecamp while exploring the Wind River Range

My wife and I stayed for 4 nights in this campground. Its location makes it ideal for Wind River Range exploration. It is a primitive campground so don't expect a lot, but really not a lot is needed. We did see a bear, so at this place just as any in this area you need to "be bear aware." You have access to water that can be filtered. It is a smaller place with only about 6 sites. We took advantage of its location and did a few day hikes in the Grand Tetons which are very close. This is a great option for exploring the Tetons if you can't or don't want to camp in the park.
