Absolutely loved this campground! Wildflowers blooming, the creek running past and providing lovely white noise to counteract the road noise (which there wasn't a whole lot of at night except for one big truck that went through). Fairly private campsites separated by trees and plants, lots of shade. The toilet near our campsite didn't even really smell. We even had a custom crow alarm at 6:23am ... um, well, at least they only cawed overhead for like a minute. :D

For a National Forest campground, this one is pretty much awesome. Very clean, with vault toilet, running fresh water in a couple of areas. Nice cool stream running through some of the sites. The host was super nice guy. I guess the only con would be the traffic noise from the highway next to the campground.

The campground was very beautiful, and site 007 had the creek running right behind the site. Easy to park, trees offered good shade and privacy, pad was level. We arrived, and there was no host present, but he did check in later. Campsites are nicely spread apart offering good privacy. No services offered, pit toilets only, but we did not need them. Hiking and bike trails right at the park entrance. One was for hikers only, the other was a paved bike path, and they were shaded and beautiful. The only drawback is that it is quite close to Hwy 22, and the road noise was noticeable, especially when trucks went by. The noise died down after 9PM, but during commute hours traffic was pretty steady. We were warned not to use Hwy 22 to go to Jackson because of the steep grade, however, other campers told us it was not that bad, and it certainly cuts off a lot of time! We tried it, and were glad that we did. Going from Victor to Jackson is much easier than the other direction. It is a truly beautiful campground and super convenient - just be prepared for road noise. We camped at Trail Creek Campground in a Motorhome.

Wanted to campout before my wedding week and it turned out great. Although the campground is right along the road towards Teton Pass, it was peaceful with the running creek next to it. Toilets were clean and well maintained, would definitely camp here again.

Small tree filled campground on the west side of Teton pass just inside the Wyoming border. This is dry camping with vault toilets. It is flanked on one side below the road ( not too much noise) and the creek on the other side. Calm, quiet , clean, 45+minutes over the pass to Jackson and south entrance to GTNP. Bear boxes and a steel platform table for grills. The campground connects to a hiking trail and a long distance biking trail. The kids loved playing near the creek (too deep, cold,and fast to let kids in at the beginning of June). Lots of wildflowers. It was a relief from the busyness and tourists in town and the traffic. I booked this as a backup, hoping to catch a dispersed camping spot. We scouted those and they were full , busy, more driving on those congested roads than we wanted. Trail creek ended up being a great little not-too-out- of- the- way campground for our 3 night stay.
We hiked west to Idaho : ) a mile or so ( the kids were thrilled to get to say they hiked to Idaho). There’s another campground with a few sl bigger sites, more solar availability. Another great choice.

Very difficult and dangerous to get into and out of campground access. Right off a fast highway- almost missed the turn in. Not real level area-even with leveling blocks for our RV camper we were still tilted. Would hate to have had to pitch a tent- lots of ant hills, very overgrown. Restroom was clean and close- as well as water and trash
