The Jackson Ranger District offers an incredible abundance of recreation areas and activities to choose from for all visitors. From internationally recognized skiing to world-famous fishing to wildlife watching, the variety is endless. The District contains the Gros Ventre Wilderness, hundreds of miles of Wild and Scenic Rivers including the famous Snake River, and many more areas that are all amazing. Because of the large variety and expanse of options, we have tried to make it easier for you to find and choose a place to recreate by breaking the Jackson Ranger District down into ten different areas, each providing more detailed information about specific trailheads, river access, camping and more.

Water provided: no; creek nearby
Standard dispersed Camping. Roll up anytime, no fees, pack out your poo. What real camping is
Pretty much a RV filled field nowadays. City folks need their generators to survive because they don't know how to camp and experience nature.
A nice calm place away from everything. I also got lost in the woods though.
Dispersed camping makes me think tents will be here. I was the only tent camper i saw and had to hear Rv generators all day. 8100 feet of elevation is nice but not enough to be in a crowd of wealthy douche bags, who glamp and not camp.
We ventured out here in our 26’ bumper pull camper for the night of 6/19. Several trailers and campers looked like they had been posted up there for a while.
Pros:
-Lots of pull off spots accessible for car camping and very small campers
-Beautiful wildflowers at this time of year
-remote and peaceful!
-main dirt was mostly manageable with our camper, some potholes and mud though
Cons:
-very rainy, hence lots of mud, when we went
-most of the campsites seemed to be washed out right now and unaccessible with our camper
-no accessible turnarounds with the camper until Circle Pond Campground at the end of the road
-bugs were really bad
-single lane dirt road just had a couple sporadic pull offs to allow for passing vehicles from other direction
-No Verizon cell signal
