Targhee National Forest - Alpine Campground

8-25-2025 UPDATE: Still love the campground. TOTALLY APPALLED WITH THE SMELL. I GO TO ENJOY THE PINES AND FRESH AIR. NOW THE CAMP HOSTS ARE POLLUTING THE AIR WITH OVERLY SCENTED LAUNDRY PRODUCTS! TOTALLY REDUCED THE VALUE OF THE CAMPGROUND! We've been going to this campground for decades. It's an incredible location. We were there this year and the camp host was fantastic. This couple was awesome people. Very meticulous care of the campground. We felt very comfortable there.

Great little campground close to the highway so it's a bit noisy, but the scenery is beautiful and makes up for it. We had planned on kayaking however the lake by the campground is only there in the spring and early summer the water is used for irrigation the rest of the summer and fall. When we were here, it was only the Snake River. The lake is large and a couple miles north. Very clean and well maintained campground. The camp hosts Ron and Kim are awesome.

Nice clean campground, but noisy. Lots of helicopters and of course highway traffic. Nice shade, but bring a pop up gazebo because there are lots of flies and mosquitoes galore. The squirrels are active, so make sure your dog is leashed. Huge metal tables and a nice fire ring with a grill. Water is available and several toilets. There’s a group site and a B loop too. Spots aren’t too close together which is nice. I love a campground where the hosts work to keep everything and everyone following the rules. Oh, bear boxes too.

Ron and Kim are absolutely the best camp hosts out there, kind, considerate, and definitely have the guests' comfort in mind. This was our first campground we stayed at in Wyoming, we spent two nights here. We continued our trip then came back for 2 more nights before ending our trip. Highway noise is present which might detour some, we personally enjoy the sound of traffic more then rowdy people so this campsite was very enjoyable. I never knew a vault restroom could smell good until we came here. They have the CLEANEST BATHROOMS in all four states we traveled ( UT, WY, MT, ID ). My kids were so impressed by the restrooms that they kept checking other restrooms on the trip to compare them to these LOL. Don't forget to take the little walk to the lake!

I was a little skeptical at 1st due to some questionable reviews against Paula,( the camp host)Needless to say she was totally awesome and super sweet. She did pay her 1st initial visit at the camp site. She warned Us that a bear had previously passed through the campsite. She asked us to be bear aware and make sure we leave nothing out at night. We will definitely be back. Paula was on top of her job and the bathrooms were in great shape. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ keep up the great work Paula 👍
