RV SITES
CAMPING ON THE CHEAP
Some lesser-known, first-come, first-served sites near the park may have fewer amenities, but they also have open-
ings when NPS campgrounds are bursting and charge a third to half of the price.
Hidden Sheffield Creek Campground Offline map ( sites $5; late Jun-Nov) is a five-site USFS camp-
ground 2.5 miles south of Yellowstone's South Entrance and just south of Flagg Ranch, across the Snake River
Bridge, then a half-mile east on a rough dirt road from a subtly signed turnoff.
Eight free, minimally developed, first-come, first-served campgrounds are strung out along the bumpy unpaved
Grassy Lake Rd , which begins just west of the parking lot at Flagg Ranch. The first (and most popular) camp-
ground is 1.6 miles along the road and has four riverside campsites. Each of the next three riverside campgrounds,
in the 1.5-mile stretch past Soldiers' Meadow, has two sites. The last four campgrounds, spaced out along the next
3.5 miles, are useful for hikes into Yellowstone's southern reaches. All sites have toilets and trash service but no
potable water. Camping is only allowed in designated sites.
Hidden, free eight-site Pacific Creek Campground Offline map ( mid-Jun-Dec) is 12 miles up the
graveled Pacific Creek Rd (USFS Rd 30090) from Grand Teton's Moran Ranger/Entrance Station. It's generally
used as a base for backpacking trips into the Teton Wilderness.
Several free dispersed campsites sit on Shadow Mountain , on the east edge of the valley. This spot has a dedic-
ated following, so show up early. Don't expect water or toilets, and there's a two-day maximum stay. It's a rough
drive anywhere, but you'll be rewarded with stunning dawn views of the Tetons.
