Teton Valley Campgrounds
Teton Valley Campground
d Just a short drive from Jackson Hole, Wyoming and at the foot of three mountain ranges (the Tetons, the Bigholes and the Palisades) is Victor, Idaho. This is Teton Valley, with close access to three National Forests and two National Parks - Grand Teton and Yellowstone. Teton Valley offers a peaceful setting for your Rocky Mountain vacation. The indigenous wildflowers, wildlife and the Tetons provide the ideal backdrop for day hikes, horseback riding, mountain biking, or a quiet river float. Other activities include golfing, whitewater rafting, and melodrama and the Grand Targhee Ski and Summer Resort. The town of Jackson, with its Western shops, rodeo and fine dining, offers even more enjoyable diversions for your vacation.

CAMPGROUND NAME: Teton Canyon

VISIT DATE: 08/14/2000

STATE: Idaho

REGION: Intermountain

RANGER DISTRICT: Teton Basin

NEAREST CITY/TOWN: Driggs

RESERVATIONS: 1-877-444-6777
DIRECTIONS:
In Driggs, ID, at intersection of State Rt. 55/Main St. and
Little, take Little east 1 mile to a "Y" intersection.  Bear left
onto Ski Hill Rd. (this road will change name several times but
retain "hill" in all the names) and go 7.7 miles to campground
sign (Forest Rt. 009).  Turn right at sign onto Rt. 009 (gravel)
and go 4.3 to another campground sign.  Turn right at sign into
campground.

GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 7,200 ft.

NOTE: The campground is physically located in Wyoming.

The campground, located at the edge of Jedediah Smith Wilderness
and near the backside of the Grand Teton National Park, is a
large loop through two very different environments.  The first
part winds through a very dense Douglas fir grove of trees along
the Teton Creek.  The area is darkly shaded with little
understory away from the creek's bank.  The other part or section
is in an open field with lots of wildflowers and a few Aspen. 
The towering cliffs and mountains can be seen only from this
section.  The scenic setting and two challenging trails that
begin next to the campground make this campground one of the more
popular in the area.  For the drive to the campground, the Grand
Teton National Park's three dominating peaks are prominent on the
skyline.

Equestrian facilities are located 0.1 miles west of the
campground with large parking lot, corrals and potable water. 
Several nice "quiet" rock climbing areas can be found near the
campground.
