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.

About this Campsite
Experience the quintessential Idaho escape at our private driveway RV and tent site in the heart of Menan. Our location offers the peace of a private, secluded setting with immediate access to some of the state’s most iconic landmarks.
We are situated just a stone’s throw from the majestic Snake River and right at the doorstep of the Menan Buttes. These volcanic "tuff cones" provide a stunning backdrop; a short trek to the top rewards you with 360-degree views of the entire valley. Access is stress-free via Interstate 15 and Highway 20, with wide, paved approaches perfect for large rigs.
What Sets Us Apart
Forget crowded, commercial parks. Here, you’ll enjoy genuine solitude and a "home base" feel. We offer a peaceful atmosphere where the sounds of the river take center stage, rather than the noise of hundreds of neighbors. Plus, you’re just minutes from the Teton House, a premier local steakhouse famous for its Australian Wagyu and historic charm.
The Ultimate Basecamp
Explore the crown jewels of the West from your doorstep:
Yellowstone National Park & West Yellowstone, MT
Jackson, WY & the Grand Tetons
Island Park, ID
A Fisherman’s Paradise
We are flanked by the world-famous South Fork of the Snake River and the Henry’s Fork. Whether you are drift boating through scenic canyons, testing your skills with a dry fly for native Cutthroat, or wade fishing the riffles, this is the ultimate angler's destination.
Know Before You Go
RV Services: The nearby Valley Wide Country Store offers an RV dump station and propane refills, making it easy to prep for the next leg of your journey.
Navigation: Look for the Menan Buttes as your landmark. Our entrance is clearly marked.

The A-frame was cute and cozy with a beautiful view of the river. It was nice to have the port-a-potty on site. Keep in mind the cabin is not heated and Utah was quite cold in October, but there was plenty of warm bedding inside. Thomas was a helpful and communicative host. I would recommend this stay !

Wonderful site with wonderful hosts. My partner and I stayed here 2 nights at Site 1. We were greeted by our host, Terri. She was amazing to talk with! She directed us to the spot we’d be staying at. It was a pull through spot, and it was a level spot. All of the spots are very cared/maintained. Good spaces in between sites. Although we didn’t use many of the amenities, there was cornhole, volleyball courts and other things to enjoy at the campground. The hosts and the campground exceeded our expectations, and we would definitely come back and stay to explore more of the surroundings area.

Tent camping sites were clean, in the shade, and well maintained. Power and water was available and convenient. Parking was easy. Close to the bathhouse/hot tub, laundry mat, and playground. Very peaceful except the occasional kids walking through the campsite (which management addressed without me saying anything when they noticed) or late night camper driving over to use the bathroom (headlights shining into tent).
Bathrooms were nice and exceptionally clean. Sherrie and her team do an excellent job and clearly take pride in their work. Better than most hotels. Laundry facilities were also well kept and decently priced.
Initially the power at my campsite was not working and Terry immediately went to work rectifying the issue, furnishing an extension cord for my work laptop until the problem could be found. Ended up being a quick and easy fix, but regardless felt very taken care of as a guest and feel that he went above and beyond to make sure that I was provided good service and had a comfortable stay.
Both Sherrie and Terry were outstanding staff members. I enjoyed my conversations with them and felt that they are kind people that care about the park, its guests, the quality of experience and services provided, and taking pride in their work. I’ve worked as a campground host for forest service and maintenance for state parks and can honestly say they not only did their jobs well, they exceeded expectations. Would come back and stay just to visit with them.

Aspen Grove was lovely. The workmanship that has gone into the hardscape and design is unlike any other park we have stayed in. It is pure quality. We were in awe of the care and thought that was put into the property. We went in the middle of September. The days were lovely and the night were very cold. The little town close by was sweet. We even played miniature golf. Good hiking close by and Idaho Falls not far. The RV part was very traditional. If it were closer to home, I could see using this for an event like a family reunion. Oh, and the people were kind, thoughtful and informative.
