About this campground
Tucked away in the pristine wilderness of Bridger-Teton National Forest, Whiskey Grove Campground offers an intimate escape into Wyoming's Upper Green River Valley. This hidden gem features nine thoughtfully spaced campsites, each a private retreat complete with picnic table, fire ring, and bear-proof food locker. The rhythmic flow of the Green River provides a natural soundtrack to your stay, while towering conifers create a cathedral-like canopy overhead. Whether you're casting a line into the crystal-clear waters, capturing the golden hour through your camera lens, or simply savoring the crackle of your evening campfire, Whiskey Grove delivers an authentic backcountry experience. Fresh mountain water flows from the hand-pump near the entrance, and clean restroom facilities ensure comfort without compromising the wilderness feel.
Whiskey Grove Campground offers basic camping accommodations suitable for both tent and RV camping, with no group sites or advanced lodging options.
Weather and SeasonsMother Nature paints Whiskey Grove in dramatically different palettes throughout the year. Winter blankets the campground in pristine snow from January through early May, transforming it into a wonderland for the hardy few. As spring awakens in late May, wildflowers begin dotting the meadows and the river swells with snowmelt. Peak camping season arrives with summer's warm embrace from late June through August, when clear mountain skies, temperatures in the comfortable 70s, and minimal rainfall create perfect conditions for outdoor adventures. These precious summer weeks offer the ideal window for families, anglers, and nature lovers to experience Whiskey Grove at its most inviting.
Natural Features and SceneryWhiskey Grove Campground rests in a natural amphitheater where ancient conifers stand sentinel along the banks of the Green River. This evergreen sanctuary creates a living tapestry of emerald hues, with Douglas firs and lodgepole pines filtering dappled sunlight onto the forest floor. The Green River, born from glacial waters high in the Wind River Range, meanders past the campground with a gentle murmur that lulls campers to sleep and awakens them to misty mornings. Wildlife tracks crisscross the sandy riverbanks, while osprey and eagles patrol the waters from above. The interplay of rushing water, whispering pines, and abundant wildlife creates an immersive natural experience that rejuvenates the soul.
Geological RegionWhiskey Grove Campground occupies a special corner of the Upper Green River Valley, where the legendary Bridger-Teton National Forest showcases the raw beauty of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. This remarkable landscape tells a story written in stone and water – carved by ancient glaciers and shaped by the persistent flow of the Green River. The surrounding conifer forests thrive in the valley's unique microclimate, creating a lush riparian corridor that serves as a vital wildlife highway. Here, where the Rocky Mountains meet the high plains, campers find themselves in one of the last intact temperate ecosystems in North America, a place where the landscape remains much as it was when Jim Bridger first explored these valleys.
