Teton Corners has been a favorite fishing and stayover spot for generations, and we felt we should step up and adopt it since we didn't want to see it developed, ripped apart or closed off. Know that by staying here, you are helping preserve this small piece of natural beauty in Idaho. It may not be the biggest preserve, but you have to start somewhere. Come stay a night! Learn more about this land: Come to our riverside getaway at Teton Corners. This 3 acre peninsula into the Teton River provides amazing trout fishing right from your tent door (licenses issued just 1 mile down the road). This gorgeous nature area is minutes from town, with easy access to HWY20 and HWY33. Deer, moose, bald eagles and osprey frequent the area year round, as well as beaver, waterfowl and night owls. RV dumps right down the road, as well as a 27 hole golf course, if that's your thing. Or just relax, dip your feet in the Teton River and listen to the water pass by. Note: River levels fluctuate over the season. We've tried to take pictures of all water seasons for reference.

This is a beautiful, wooded property on the river. This is part of our small ranch, we have small herd of cattle and some horses and mules. This property is a magical oasis that feels like you’re hours away from everything, but your not! Lots of opportunities to see wildlife be in nature and explore.

You’ll want to allow yourself plenty of time to take advantage of all that Targhee National Forest has to offer. On several million acres, waterfalls cascade down volcanic cliffs, and crystal clear pools provide some of the best cutthroat trout fishing in the world. Rafters and tubers frolic in the shadows of the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone, and the smell of campfires makes you feel like an Oregon Trailer. Ancient rock formations sprout wildflowers, providing a scenic spot to boulder or rock climb, and Big Spring & Palisades Reservoir boasts over 70 miles of shoreline to bask in the sun after a long day of hiking. Two of the trails here access the high-altitute Alaska Basin, as well as trails in Grand Teton National Park. You’ll also be right next to the city of Idaho Falls, perfect for stocking up on the essentials before a full day of exploring grizzly bear habitats and karst limestone formations, all under the watchful eye of the snow-peaked Tetons!

Convenient, easy access, quiet, level, private DIRECTLY on the Snake River! Beautiful setting with friendly host and dog. Great place for an overnight on the road but could be nice for a couple nights too.

My husband and I where on our way to WY and it was getting late. All of a sudden it started to snow, we need a place to go for the night. I found Angel camp and it was so beautiful, and to our surprise it had electric hook ups so we even had heat thru night. I did need to call to ask a question and the host answered first ring and was very helpful and kind. This is such a wonderful camp sight. I would love to stay here again.

Lovely spot. Easy to find with the directions provided. I was so grateful to find a spot in island park when all the campgrounds were closed. Safe for a single woman. Thank you!!!

Weekend Trip to Teton Corners River Preserve

We had a great time staying at Teton Corners. Thomas was very helpful and gave detailed directions. He responded quickly to all out questions. The campground is not large, but it's a very pretty little out of the way spot right next to a little river. It was well kept and the portable toilet was clean and stocked. I would totally stay here again. :)

We really enjoy this spot. It is beautiful and so relaxing to watch the river run by. We got an extra treat with the Elk calling all around us. This is definitely a place I would return to.

Absolutely beautiful spot. We parked our RV right on the river bank. The site is completely secluded, but only a few minutes from town. The owner is one of the nicest people we’ve ever met. Can’t wait to return!

Riverside haven was the perfect private, beautiful spot by the water. We enjoyed walking alongside the river, taking in the views at sunrise and sunset, and enjoyed the birdwatching and deer! Hosts were very friendly and helpful. We hope to come back with our dogs next time - they would love it!

Incredibly lovely private site on the Snake river. Fishing spots, boaters, birds galore including a bald eagle and a big flock of turkeys. Hosts went above and beyond on hospitality and then left us alone. Perfect for us. Our dog loved it, too!

Weekend Trip to Angell Creek Campground

Drove right to it with the directions that was sent to me, stayed four nights as a hotspot, jumping in and out of Montana , Wyoming and Yellowstone, about a 35 minute drive. Perfect set up for a single person or couples with pets. The area was well kept. I would definitely stay there or suggest it to others.
