Camping & Cabins

Stay limits on the Bridger-Teton National Forest are generally 14 days with the exception of the Jackson Ranger District and Blackrock Ranger District area. After 14 days you must move 5 mile radius from your original campsite. After 30-days, you my return to your original campsite if desired. Stay limits begin on the first day of a camping spot being occupied by any member of a party or group.

A 5 day stay limit is in effect from May 1st through Labor Day on the Jackson Ranger District and within certain areas of the Blackrock Ranger District (map). After 5 days, you must move to another Ranger District to camp. You may only return to the Jackson Ranger District after 30 days.

Typically, dispersed camping is NOT allowed in the vicinity of developed recreation areas such as campgrounds, picnic areas, or trailheads. Many people drive out on Forest Service roads into the woods and find a clearing or a spot near a stream or with a view of the mountains. Drive on existing roads to prevent resource damage. Dispersed camping is allowed in a one-mile perimeter away from campgrounds and 100 feet from any stream. To prevent resource damage please keep your campsite within 150 feet from a roadway.
