This campground is amazing! The bathrooms are super clean and kept up with. The hosts are super friendly and check up on their guests often. Our wood got wet and we had trouble starting a fire and they were more than willing to lend us some of their supplies! We also had no trouble with wildlife during our stay. 10/10 recommend!

Beautiful locale, beautiful stream. Site 3 is great but is far from level. Wasn't there a half a day when the camp host wife said we were warned twice by her husband for a unleashed dog, last warning, even though my Golden retriever was really hot and wanted to swim in cold creek at that moment, guilty, but I was never warned twice before. We were parked next to camp host for two nights, had to cut short our four day stay because the host had a guest staying with them that was really loud and used the F bomb constantly during their campfire chats. I am sure your stay will be better.

Our 30' TT fit nicely in site #7 with plenty of room to park our tow vehicle. This site is level, spacious, mostly shady, and right next to Trail Creek. Mature wild blueberries grow everywhere in the campground. The vault toilets are right across from #7, and a water spigot is a few yards away. Road noise from WY22 is obvious during the day, less so at night. The fire ring was installed entirely above ground, so it's super tall. It's hardly worth making a campfire that you can't see or feel.

Excellent campground. The bathrooms were spotless and the on site staff were very kind. They obviously take pride in their work. Highly recommend staying at this campground.

Very nice camp ground. A ton of road noise but not bad after sunset. I stayed at campsite 10. Beautiful spot next to the creek. Not private at all compared to other sites. 9 and 10 are extremely close together. Overall I definitely would recommend this spot. Just make sure if you are coming from Jackson to turn your blinker on well in advance due to their not being a turn lane. Happy camping.

@DennisW7577015 · Camped on Sep 10, 2022 at Campsite #6

Clean facilities. Good location. The only issue is the sign for this campsite is hidden from view, should be moved.

@TheresaG926096 · Camped on Aug 28, 2022 at Campsite #9

Nice campground. You can hear traffic from 22 but just very peaceful.

@BreckT5797381 · Camped on Aug 13, 2022 at Campsite #3

Campsite number 3 wasn't level and have to used every leveling block I had. Close to road and was very noisy until late at night

@Charlotte94093 · Camped on Jul 21, 2022 at Campsite #7

Our stay at Trail Creek was great! We loved the close proximity of the creek to most of the camp sites. ANd, most of the sites get shade from tall evergreen trees - a nice feature in mid-summer! Camp host Gary was excellent: helpful, considerate, and took great care of the area. The ONLY downside to this campground - and it cannot be changed - is the traffic from the highway heading from Victor ID over to Wilson/Jackson, WY. Traffic does die down at night, but due to the numerous folks who live on the Idaho side but work in Jackson Hole, the highway is busy.

@JoHannaP810272 · Camped on Jul 11, 2022 at Campsite #6

I was stuck between 3 and 4 stars. This camp ground is pretty okay. The bathrooms were so clean and the camping spots are great. It's near a major road so very noisy

@DevonR5826751 · Camped on Jun 10, 2022 at Campsite #9

Campground overall was nice, very pretty right on the banks of Trail Creek and the west side of Teton Pass. Close to Victor if you need groceries. Unfortunately it is right on the highway. We stayed in spot 9 with our 37' bumper pull. Plenty of space for the trailer and truck. Kids loved playing in the creek, great access from all the campsites on the south side of the campground. Never used the toilets, but I did see the campground host checking them several times. Bear proof trash dumpster was overfull, so the lids would not close, not bear proof obviously when that occurs. Most campsites had a food storage locker, charcoal grill, and firepit. We never used any of them. Keep in mind that you will have to drive over Teton Pass if you want to access Jackson or the Tetons. Very pretty drive and the road was in good condition as of 4/13/2022. 10% grade both sides, saw several trucks hauling trailers pulled over with overheating issues, but my diesel did fine with my 11,000 +/- trailer. Check your brakes and gear down, no problem. Would stay again.

A little too close to the highway.

The campground is surprisingly peaceful. Our site is close to the forest and creek.

@DavidV5073563 · Camped on Aug 4, 2021 at Campsite #11

Nice campground to stay with shade and next to creek. Be aware that some campsites are very near highway that can have a lot of traffic noise. Our site was very private surrounded by trees, so worth it.

@KathrinS186 · Camped on Jul 31, 2021 at Campsite #7

great place. Nice and private spots. super clean pit toilet. Creek right next to the camp spots.

@PeterC948 · Camped on Jul 30, 2021 at Campsite #11

Great location, great spacing between campgrounds, would stay again.

We had the best stay at this campground and will be returning. During the day the highway noise could be heard, but after dark the traffic becomes very very light and doesnt start picking up again until about 7am. The creek runs by most of the sites and is a great lullaby. Clean facilities and campground along with a very helpful host. Close to Victor for gas and incidentals. Pretty drive over Teton Pass to drop down into Jackson.

@KristiG174 · Camped on Jul 5, 2021 at Campsite #3

Very nice place for stay over. This campground is below the byway so the sound of cars is there. But at night while sleeping you’ll sleep easy. The creek is loud and very cold . The camp host was very welcoming. The bathrooms were the cleanest ! ❤️❤️

@RyanH798 · Camped on Jun 29, 2021 at Campsite #6

This is definitely a very pretty campground. Be warned though it is RIGHT on he highway going over Teton Pass. It is near the bottom as well so engine breaking is very real. Staying here in a trailer may be really great but I am a very sound sensitive sleeper and we were in a tent so I did not get any sleep whatsoever.

@AmandaN786 · Camped on Jun 18, 2021 at Campsite #3

Coming here from another state I had no idea it was near a mountain pass, that was my own ignorance. A local informed us before heading there of the pass so we were lucky. Very quiet camping spot and great access to the creek behind. Our kids loved playing by it but it’s cold!

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
