“Incredible views of the Tetons with private sites”

While there are other options for free boondocking with expansive views of the Tetons, Shadow Mountain is our favorite. We preferred the privacy of the sites, each off its own small dirt access road, than the more open camping at Teton View.

While there are other options for free boondocking with expansive views of the Tetons, Shadow Mountain is our favorite. We preferred the privacy of the sites, each off its own small dirt access road, than the more open camping at Teton View.
Of course, that means you never quite know which site you'll end up in at Shadow Mountain. The GPS coordinates will bring you up the hill about 5-10 minutes above Mormon Row (definitely worth a stop!). We actually couldn't figure out a way to make the turn into the main spot at the coords with our 25' Airstream. We tried a few approach angles and even backing in with no luck only to later hear that someone had had success with a similar trailer by turning around above the site and coming back down the hill into the access road.
Instead, we headed just a little farther up the hill and found a great site with only a slightly more obstructed view but nice privacy in the trees (43°42'02.6"N 110°36'19.4"W). We found it easiest to pass the entrance and back into the site.
You can also drive all the way up to the top of the hill for sites with 360 degree views (but no privacy except that you're on top of a mountain). Anywhere you end up, the views up here are absolutely insane. Enjoy!

We stayed all the way at the top of the mountain in our 23 foot rental rv. Nobody was close by when we were there. We came up from the north and we were getting kind of nervous then all of the sudden we made it up there and wow. Highly recommended.

You cannot beat the views from here. There is a small area at the base of shadow mountain that will accommodate 15 campers or so, it's all dispersed and easy access to some of the sites. I would not recommend bringing a big RV out here, only for small campers or van/tent. You can also continue up shadow mountain to find more sites all ... more
You cannot beat the views from here. There is a small area at the base of shadow mountain that will accommodate 15 campers or so, it's all dispersed and easy access to some of the sites. I would not recommend bringing a big RV out here, only for small campers or van/tent. You can also continue up shadow mountain to find more sites all along the road and at the top. It's always quiet and peaceful, the bugs can be very bad at times. This is my home in the summer.

This is one of the all time winning spots! You are a close drive to the entrance of the Tetons to do all your hiking, fishing, boating, and sightseeing. From this spot, you will have an awesome view of the Tetons, firepit, plenty of free wood, and there are 3 spots total to choose from, I was lucky enough to get the edge of the hilltop... more

Only bummer was the mosquitos were kind of nuts during the day
