We found a nice spot for 7.00 a night with Senior Pass at Kozy Kampground about 20 miles south of Jackson. Only 8 sites but several empty ones. Right off Hwy 191. Called a few campgrounds in case we couldn't find a boondocking spot and they are 100.00 a night and all filled up. So happy we found this spot and hope it helps others hunting a spot near Jackson.

Thanks everyone,

Sara

Folks,

I doubt the Tetons are largely empty right now. Ha. That just doesn't happen around here in the summertime. Maybe up USFS gravel roads, but not in these popular national parks.

I'll bet reservations are now required at most campgrounds, but if you are trying to find a pay campground in GTNP or YNP on a first come basis you need to be there mid morning when people pull out. At Bridge Bay campground in YNP last week there were ten camper trailer vehicles waiting in line to use the dump station so they could head out. So something like an hour wait just to dump the camper and roam on.

I was down that Jackson way last week minus the Rpod, via YNP from Cody, and it was pretty jammed up traffic wise, with lots of campers and trailers. The usual July rush. Jackson was a huge traffic mess, big city traffic not moving, as always this time of year until September.

Granite creek is a good choice should you be going south of the Wind's. And the hot springs are great.

They cost to get in though. Downstream a bit from the commercial operation you can find a great free place to soak.

If going thru Lander/Dubois then once you go over Togwotee pass and get to the bottom of the mountain you will cross the Buffalo fork river after a few miles. On your right following the bridge about a half mile is a nice paved narrow road that goes up Buffalo valley. The same road eventually turns gravel and ends up high, back at the Togwotee mountain lodge up on the highway below the pass. You can pull an Rpod the entire way and make a circle. Kinda bumpy and rough on the dirt road. There are several dispersed camping sites along the Buffalo fork road near the trail heads and in places where you will find pull outs. You will have to check the USFS postings on where you can and cannot camp, but lots of horse people pull in and camp there and take day rides or longer trips from their base camps. Free, beautiful views of the Tetons from some locations. Plus you can watch the horses and outfitters big horse pack strings headed into the wilderness.

Not quite like Stone Mountain GA. country, eh? Or the Blue Ridge. Enjoy Wyo.

If you have a Natip\onal Parks seniors pass a camp site in the Tetons is 12.50 per day. Wonderful, wooded sites.

If you go toward Farson on 28 and then head toward Pinedale and on to Jackson and the Tetons on 191, there is a little dirt road about 65 miles past Pinedale that leads to Granite Hot Springs on the right side of the road. It's about 10 miles in but a beautiful natural hot spring like no other. There's camping back here. The closer you get to Jackson less cheap camping but lots of privates like KOA.]]> Sat, 08 Jul 2017 14:52:25 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10291&PID=96102#96102 Wind River, Wyoming : Thanks so much for the tips.

I recommend you drive over to Atlantic City and have a real old west experience by eating at the Mercantile in this "ghost town". You won't be sorry you made the effort. Cowfish is a pretty yuppie establishment, but has good food.

If you are hauling north down into Lander be advised the grade is long and steep with curves, and you can get going too fast very easily.

Safe travels and enjoy your time in Wyoming.

Let me know how you like it!! Take a drive to Sinks Canyon while you're camping at Louie Lake. It's a short drive outside of Lander. You can also get to it by going down the dirt road past the lake - long drive but pretty. So much to see and do. If you ever eat away from your campground, Cowfish in Lander is a fabulous restaurant.

It's true. You can camp on BLM land. If you don't mind going further than Riverton, on to Lander and up toward Farson on Highway 28, Louis Lake is a beautiful area with lots of open land for camping - most not designated campsites but piled rock fire rings already built by former campers in most areas (although there may be a fire ban right now - don't know). Right in the pines. We don't go all the way to the lake - we camp away from it and drive to it. It's one of our favorite places to camp. It's also near a ghost town called South Pass City, the site of an old gold mine and worth seeing. It may be crowded this weekend in the area. There's a Rendezvous in Pinedale. ]]> Fri, 07 Jul 2017 12:39:51 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10291&PID=96056#96056 Wind River, Wyoming : We will be entering from Rawlings... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10291&PID=96055#96055 Author: DawgLady

We will be entering from Rawlings going toward Riverton. I read that you can just find a spot on National Forest or BLM land and set up camp but sure don't want to try to settle down a few days and be on someone's property.

Left Georgia Saturday and now in Wyoming and hoping to stay in Wind River area Friday night. Would love to have recommendations for Free or low cost places that are secluded. Stayed in Roosevelt National Park last night and there were 2 other Pods there 😊.

Thanks in advance to this wonderful group!!
