East Table Group Campground sits along the Snake River in Bridger-Teton National Forest, 21 sites spread across first-come, first-served terrain at 5,823 feet elevation. Groups find spacious setups here with room for tents, RVs, and trailers, each site equipped with picnic tables, fire rings, and bear lockers. Fees run $15-30 per night. The campground earns a 4.9/5 rating largely thanks to Andrea, the camp host reviewers call exceptional, and vault toilets described as the cleanest some visitors have ever used.
East Table Group Campground specializes in group camping but accommodates a variety of camping styles, including tent and RV setups.
Historical Significance
Generations of river runners have used East Table as a staging area before tackling Snake River rapids. The campground has become part of family traditions, a place where rafting groups gather to share river stories and plan their descents. The continuity matters here: the same fire rings, the same launch points, decades of paddlers reading the same water.Weather and SeasonsSummer brings daytime highs around 77°F that drop to 57°F after dark, ideal for campfires under clear skies. Afternoon thunderstorms roll through occasionally. This is peak season for a reason: trails are snow-free, wildflowers bloom, the river runs safely for boating, and all services operate. Expect crowds. Arrive early for group sites. Fall shifts to 25-44°F with reduced services like locked trash bins and no potable water. Winter drops into true cold and limits access to the hardiest campers.
ElevationPerched at a mountain elevation that offers both accessibility and alpine charm, the campground provides that perfect balance of mountain air without the challenges of extreme altitude.
Natural Features and SceneryThe Snake River flows just across the highway from camp, its rushing water audible from many sites. Mountain peaks frame the valley on both sides, creating views that change with the light throughout the day. Site #11 offers direct river overlooks. Alpine wildflowers bloom across the landscape in summer. Wildlife moves through regularly: chipmunks dart between campsites, ground squirrels perch on rocks, and golden eagles circle overhead. The elevation keeps temperatures moderate even in summer heat.
Geological RegionCradled within the magnificent Bridger-Teton National Forest, East Table occupies a privileged position in one of the West's most dramatic landscapes. Here, the geological forces that carved the Snake River corridor meet the uplifted peaks of the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem, creating a dynamic terrain where alpine meadows cascade toward rushing waters. This mountainous wonderland showcases nature's architectural prowess, from weathered granite faces to river-carved valleys, all within reach of your campsite door.
