About

Located in the John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway directly between Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks, Headwaters Campground offers an ideal basecamp for exploring both parks. The campground sits in a tranquil wooded setting along the upper reaches of the Snake River, surrounded by meadows and conifer forests with the Yellowstone Plateau rising to the north and Huckleberry Mountain to the east. The campground provides 34 tent sites with gravel parking and tent pads, 97 full-hookup pull-through RV sites accommodating rigs up to 45 feet with 20-, 30-, and 50-amp electric outlets, and 40 hard-wall camper cabins scattered throughout the property. All sites feature picnic tables and fire pits with metal grates, and guests have access to food storage lockers, nearby water spigots, flush toilets, hot showers, and coin-operated laundry facilities. Limited cellular and internet service makes this an excellent place to unplug. The main lodge offers dining at Sheffields Restaurant and Saloon, plus a convenience store and gift shop. The area excels for wildlife watching and fly fishing. Polecat Creek winds through wildflower meadows and conifer forests where visitors regularly spot moose, elk, bison, bears, beaver, and diverse bird species. The Snake River offers productive fly fishing for cutthroat trout, brook trout, and whitefish. Popular trails include the easy 2.5-mile Huckleberry Hot Springs loop and the 5.1-mile Flagg Canyon trail along the Snake River. Both parks are easily accessible: Yellowstone's south entrance is 2 miles north, while Grand Teton's attractions like Colter Bay Village and Jackson Lake Lodge are 30 minutes south. The town of Jackson lies 50 miles south.
