Caribou-Targhee/Falls

Very confusing place, next time I think will be better during the summer since there was a bit of snow left and some areas were blocked off.

Great campground. There are no hookups. The shade and a breeze from the river helped make this a great experience.

Nice campground but I was charged twice for a four day stay because my initial $40.00 in cash which was deposited in the Fees Tube was not there according to the host. I was and am very clear that I properly deposited the envelope with the cash, but I was required to redo and repay.

We came during a rain shower. Roads were wet, slippery, and narrow. There were a couple of turns that were very tight and had lots of pot holes. This is not a big rig friendly. We are only 25 ft. but a branch scrapped our side. It is secluded, the sites are surrounded by bushes, and it feels very rustic. Very pretty, but not for anything big.

Depending upon your plans for being here this campground could rate 3-5 stars. It’s definitely clean with spacious sites that are each tucked into the aspens and brush which makes them feel somewhat secluded. Rounded rock style gravel covers the site while handicapped sites also have a cement platform. Sites are well equipped with a long table, fire rings with grates, and a metal table/shelf for grills (not to be placed on plastic coated picnic tables) Those that have come to fish in float boats seem to be having a great time, as are the Boy Scouts. For some reason river side anglers we’re getting skunked. A couple guys with waders had a little luck. One was fly fishing, the other casting. I am delighted about the nature and ambience. It’s beautiful here (late August). Be ready for changing winds. We even had a brief touch of small hail. Hubby and I did manage to hike a bit. There’s not much trail hiking here and the gravel roads are tough to e-bike on. Next to site 17 is a trail that went into a group camp where the folks stared at us. So we exited and hiked up a gravel road about 1.5 miles for a high view of the area. Later, some other campers said the trail continued on the other side of group camping. Today, we hiked to the falls on the gravel entrance road. The falls are gorgeous (and I’ve seen a lot of falls). It was magical to hike down and climb behind the falls where the rocks are damp and dripping. Before getting there we hiked up a trail near the cow grate. (It looks like a parking area, but the faded sign warns not to block the cow’s GATE with your vehicle lest it get damaged by cows.) Trails are not marked. We found this on the ALL-TRAILS app. We liked the short hike up and around the too, even though it’s not maintained and and has water ruts. The view is impressive. Using the SEEK app, I identified five new species of plants. Identifying plants, trees, and rocks makes hikes more interesting. It feels like real camping here despite everything from tents to huge fifth wheels. If you’re happy fishing, SUPing or kayaking down a beautiful tributary, sitting around a campfire, or merely watching nature you would give it five stars for a rustic campground. Oh, there are water spigots though no gray water disposal. And there IS a dump station toward the Tetons at Palisades Dam, and is free if you camped here. This was a good two day stop on our way to the Tetons. Plenty of hiking and biking opportunities THERE. Definitely, a place we’ll return to.

The cascade on the drive here is beautiful. But a big far to walk. You should stop by on your way here. The 2 mile gravel road is decent to drive for all vehicles. There is water faucet right in front of our site. Vault toilet is clean.
