A closer look at the campground

Overview Atherton Creek Campground is located on Lower Slide Lake. This is a beautiful and quiet camping location where you can quickly and easily get away from the hustle and bustle of Grand Teton National Park and Jackson, but still access those places in less than 30 minutes if you wish. The road access is paved up to the campground and winds through aspen stands with gorgeous views of the Gros Ventre River. Boat and fishing access are excellent for Lower Slide Lake, allowing for great trout fishing and peaceful evenings floating around looking for wildlife. Recreation Encompassing a landscape of rivers, mountains, trails and forest roads, the Bridger-Teton National Forest is one of the most popular recreation forests in the nation. Anglers will find populations of cutthroat trout when casting their lines out into the water. Boating, kayaking, paddleboarding and endless miles of hiking trails are within walking distance from the campground. Facilities Atherton Campground has 21 standard sites (16 are available for reservation), suitable for tents and smaller trailers. Vault toilets are provided. Each site has a picnic table, fire ring and bear box.  Natural Features The Bridger-Teton National Forest offer more than 3.4 million acres of public land for your enjoyment. Pristine watersheds, abundant wildlife and immense wildlands, the BTNF comprises a large part of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, the largest intact ecosystem in the lower 48 United States.  Contact Info For local information, please call (307) 739-5400 or call (307) 739-5400 for general information.
