Dispersed camping with a privy and gorgeous views. Each site has two campsites, but there is enough parking for four to five vehicles.
FREE dispersed campsites in between Yellowstone and Grand Teton. First come first serve. You will have to drive a gravel road to access them and depending on which site you’re able to secure, it could be a long drive. These campsites provide a public restroom with toilet paper, a picnic table and a fire ring. There is plenty of prime firewood laying around the campsite. You just gotta go gather it. We stayed at campsite #1 which has 4 different sites at it. Each campsite can hold a certain number of campers. For these sites to be free, this was probably one of the best campsites I’ve stayed at. Campsite #1 is not a far drive at all and is very close to the nearby lodge and the hot springs. It’s about an hour drive to both Yellowstone and Grand Teton. Not the most convenient location for the national parks but it’s a beautiful place. Especially in the fall when the foliage is golden.
