Seven shady campsites are nestled at the base of the Salt River Range right along the musical Swift Creek just outside Afton, Wyoming. A single faucet is available at site 1, and an accessible toilet is provided in the center of the campground. Large picnic tables welcome family groups for meals.
From the Town of Afton, Wyoming, head north on United States Highway 89 (US-89)then make a right turn onto East 2nd Avenue and follow it for approximately one mile into the Bridger-Teton National Forest. Once on the forest the road name changes to Swift Creek/Forest Service Road 10211 (FS-10211). Follow FS-10211 for approximately 0.4 miles and access to the Swift Creek Campground is located off to the right. Approximate travel details from the Town of Afton: 2 miles, 6 minutes.
$10/night for single unit, 8 units available.
There are no reservations for this campground
I am not a big fan of camping but this is a very nice place
Officially closed, but I snuck in a couple nights with my boxer dog along the Swift Creek last month...didn't hurt that I ran into a sleeping bag warmer on the drive up...guess I'll never know where her boyfriend got off to!
Horrible maintenance. Shame of Forest Service. Campground is washed out by flooding they didn't bother to fix last year. Deer carcasses in campground. Worst Forest facility ever. They don't care. Horrible.
Had a lot of flood damage, but the sites at the back were decent. Site 7 had a great creek side picnic area. Our 29' trailer fit in barely.
Heading for the Tetons for the Eclipse, we decided to make camp far away from the overly inundated Jackson, Wyoming, and found the perfect spot at Swift Creek above Afton. It was absolute paradise, surrounded by a dense forest, an ice cold river right off our tent site and easy access to any supplies we might have forgotten (6 minute drive to the nearest Maverick station) but we felt like we were hours from civilization. Highly recommended!
