Pacific Creek (FR 30090) Designated Dispersed Campsite

Eight designated dispersed sites line Pacific Creek along a several-mile stretch of washboard gravel road deep in Teton National Forest. The route requires patience and sturdy suspension, as Cmezz U. notes the road is "long and washboard." Sites feature fire rings, picnic tables, and bear boxes—essential amenities given the wildlife activity in this forested corridor.

The creek runs directly alongside most sites, providing constant water sounds and fishing access. Sites 7 and 8 receive particular praise from campers for their river proximity and seclusion. Each designated spot includes roughly four acres of space, allowing RVs up to 29 feet though leveling can require strategic positioning. Heavy timber creates dense shade but also harbors significant mosquito populations during summer months.

No water, toilets, or cell service reach this remote location. A commercial horse operation and Pacific Creek Campground sit farther down the same access road, offering fee-based alternatives with more amenities. The sites fill by evening during peak season, particularly on weekends, making early arrival advisable for campers seeking this free Forest Service option near campsites near Moran.

This campground suits self-sufficient campers comfortable with primitive conditions and rough road access in exchange for creekside camping without fees.

Guests frequently mentioned the beautiful streamside sites with generous space and essential amenities like bear boxes. The challenging washboard road access and lack of water/restrooms were common concerns, along with heavy mosquito presence during peak season.

Peacefull, beautiful with groomed campsites.

The road is long and washboard. The campsites were basically the same as forestry service camps but without the pay system. Right next to a wonderful stream. Bring bug spray and you'll be fine. No water, no toilet of any kind. There's a horse ride business further down and a regular pay camp further down the road with lots of hiking. No water available, so why bother?

Great Spot!

Fantastic Spot but very busy, I got to the site at 6pm (admittedly) a lil late but all the spots were filled up. Thankfully was able to get in with someone and the spot I think was 10 but amazing spot. Cold morning but so worth it

Spot #5 was very nice

Dispersed Camping space #5 was very nice. We decided to pull our 29' travel trailer only partway into the space to find the most level spot. But we still had some 4 acres all to ourselves! The mosquitos were not fooling around though!

Secluded River Views

Can’t speak to the rest of the sites but campsites 7 and 8 are excellent. Great access to and views of the river and it’s nice and secluded. Would definitely stay here again. Bugs weren’t great but they aren’t anywhere else this time of year.

Pacific Creek Site 8

Several miles of washboard road to reach the site. Camped along the stream, very pretty. There is a bear box and fire ring at the site. There is a campground a bit farther down the road.

Middle of nowhere

Bear boxes are provided, which is why I sought this site out. Plan ahead for this one, because you'll drive for what feels like forever. I have terrible shocks in my bus, so the gravel roads were slow going for me. I wanted to quit and look elsewhere, but didn't want to backtrack, either. There are a few isolated spots along the route that were too rutted for me to get my bus into; I had to get to the final "campground". There were a handful of spaces, and I think I got the last one (on a Thursday night in July). The mosquitoes were atrocious, but I expected it in woods this heavy, and for as much rain as Wyoming has gotten this year. There were picnic tables and bear boxes, and I think there may have been vault toilets there.

Convenient location

Designated dispersed sites near Pacific Creek. There are 8 sites, but I arrived around 6 pm on a Saturday night and there were still available sites. Nothing special but convenient to the park. Campfire pits and bear resistant food container available at the site. No Verizon or AT&T service
