About

Curtis Canyon Campground sits in a forested setting above the National Elk Refuge, offering campers quick access to sweeping views of both the refuge and the iconic Teton mountain range. Located approximately 8 miles and 16 minutes from downtown Jackson, Wyoming, this Bridger-Teton National Forest campground provides a balance of accessibility and backcountry feel. The campground features 12 individual sites spread through the woods, each with a picnic table, fire ring, and bear-proof food storage container. Vault toilets are provided, and drinking water is available from a hand pump when operational. A dumpster on-site handles trash disposal. All sites are first-come, first-served with no advance reservations accepted. The area serves as a launching point for hiking and horseback riding opportunities just minutes from camp. The nearby Curtis Canyon Overlook Interpretive Site offers an easily accessible viewpoint. A two-vehicle maximum applies per site, with a $7 additional vehicle fee on top of the $20 nightly rate.
