Bailey Creek Road

Bailey Creek is a short, nearly 3-mile dead-end spur that leads to a tiny parcel of National Forest land sandwhiched between Grand Teton National Park and the Teton Wilderness. The drive winds through a dense pine canopy, past the willow layden Bailey Meadow, and terminates at a large grassy area popular with equestrian campers. Wildlife are common along the road, and bear activity is relatively high due to the remoteness of the road. The road is a single-vehicle wide two track for most of the trip, across a rough, rutty, and cobbly surface of rounded baseball and softball sized rocks. It gradually becomes rougher the farther along the road you travel, and mud pits are a common occurrence during wet periods. The only camping is found at the end of the road with plenty of level, grassy areas, and a single bear box.

Important Camping Notes:

• Camping in this area is restricted to designated sites only.
• A 5-day maximum stay limit is in effect from May 1st through Labor Day, and a 14-day limit the rest of the year.
• Bears are common in the area; thus, all food and attractants must be stored in bear-resistant containers or hard-sided vehicles.
