    The fictional town of "Rock Bottom Springs" at Mountain River Ranch
    Alley K.

    Y'know the old Dr. John tune "I was in the right place, but it musta been the wrong time?" This was one of those instances. We were visiting Ririe for work and the place our employer usually recommends was booked. The management of that property recommended Mountain River Ranch since they were right across the street, and close to where we were working. The price was right, so we said "OK." MRR is in a beautiful forest setting and the property is just adorable. Tony and Cherry, the camp hosts, are really nice people, as is Annie, who I spoke with on the phone to make the reservation. We had reserved the Buffalo Bill Cabin, and were taken aback upon our arrival to discover it was a rustic cabin, which in and of itself, we don't have a problem with. What did give us pause was the lack of fans or air conditioning. Hubs is one of those guys who sweats when it's 60 degrees out, and our visit was in June, so he was pretty uncomfortable when we were there during the middle of the day. Night wasn't so bad since temps dipped down into the 40's. I found the bed to be perfectly comfortable; him, not so much. Don't get me wrong, I am not slamming Mountain River Ranch in the least. I would definitely stay at this place again at a different time of year and under different circumstances, i.e., an actual vacation, where we could chill and take in the dinner show, which I hear is wonderful. As I said before, the grounds are lovely and the location is perfect, just up the road from Heise Hot Springs. This time around, though, the nature of the property was not conducive to the purpose of the trip. Live and learn.

    This is the cabin I stayed in.

    I was doing some traveling last summer and found Mountain River Ranch. It was a little hard to find but a fun adventure. If you follow the signs on the surrounding buildings in the local community you will drive straight into their main entrance. Upon arrival the camp hosts Tony and Cherry greeted me and got me checked in. I stayed in Cattle Kate's which was one of the little cabins available for renting. There were many options to stay in including; a lodge, multiple cabins, teepees, a covered wagon, lots of tent space and over 60 trailer spots. When arriving to my room it was very clean and comfy. They don't have running water but they are all conveniently located next to, what appeared to be, brand new restrooms with several toilets and two showers. Very clean restrooms which were well kept and the best part was the water stayed warm for a long time! There is also a handicap accessible bathroom. I stayed for 5 days over the weekend which seemed to be a real hit for family reunions. There were two different ones going on. Lots to kept the little ones busy, MRR had nets available, horseshoes, a covered pavilion, and there was a stock fishing pond that I caught dinner on for the night! I cooked the fish over a fire in the many fire rings. Every camp space had their own picnic table as well. The hosts even offered little pony rides for the little ones which the kids enjoyed so much! Walking around the campground it was kept up to date with watering and mowing. Never seen any garbage laying around! The owners Tran and Annie King were extremely friendly always around keeping the place in the best possible condition! Along with the camp hosts. Everyone was friendly and always making sure my stay was the best possible. There was also dinner shows going on during my stay so around dinner time I got to watch horse draw wagons taking people out to eat. I decided to investigate so I booked a night for myself. Started out with a little shoot out skit in the little town. Then horse draw wagons take you out to the Meadow Muffin where we sang for our food, which was some of the best I've had, and then watched a great musical show. Finally ended the night by being taken back to the little town. The entire area seemed to be a tourist involved community. Just up the road was a pizza parlor, golf course, zip lines and a ski resort in the winter. Driving just past the ski resort it seemed to turn into the real wilderness for hiking, horseback riding and utv/atv riding. MRR was great and I would defiantly recommend it to anyone camping or doing a family reunion! It was such a fun time I will be taking family out next year!!

    Catchy little tune!

    I CANNOT EXPRESS ENOUGH HOW THE CAMP HOST WAS SO VERY RUDE! The grounds were fine, but the incident…read morethat occurred at Juniper Campground in Ririe, Idaho, on the evening of Saturday, September 13, 2025 left a very bitter taste in our mouths about the trip. What was intended to be a joyful family outing turned into a distressing experience due to the conduct of the camp host. My father-in-law and his wife had made a reservation at Juniper Campground for the weekend and invited my family to join them--myself, my two sons, and our grandchildren. We were all excited to spend quality time together and to try out our newly purchased travel trailers. As first-time trailer owners, this was meant to be a fun and educational experience before the camping season ended. Unfortunately, I had previously purchased concert tickets for an event at Mountain America Center in Idaho Falls scheduled for Saturday evening. My sons and I decided to briefly leave the campground to attend the concert and return afterward. We left in the early evening and returned around 10:20 PM. Upon arrival, we found the second entry gate--through which we had originally entered--locked with a padlock. We then drove to the first gate, which had rising arms and red LED lights, but it did not respond. I exited the vehicle to search for an intercom or manual override, but found none. While attempting to look up a contact number, a white truck with an orange cone in the back approached rapidly. The driver, who identified himself as the camp host, immediately confronted me in an aggressive and profane manner. He shouted, "What the hell are you doing at my gate?" I calmly explained that we were campers returning from a concert and were trying to re-enter the campground. He responded with hostility, saying, "The gates are locked at 10 PM. Didn't you read the rules?" I replied that we had not received any rules, as my 78-year-old father-in-law had checked in first and inadvertently failed to pass them along while we were focused on setting up our trailers. The host continued to berate me, accusing me of lying and using profanity such as "Bullsh*t, everybody receives the rules." When asked for our campsite number, I was momentarily unsure, as my father-in-law had directed us to our spot upon arrival. While I searched for the information, the host continued to question our motives, saying, "Why are you leaving and returning to the campsite this time of night?" I explained our concert plans, only to be met with further disbelief and ridicule. He mocked my Van Halen t-shirt and claimed, "Nobody goes camping to leave for a concert," and "Those bands sucked. The last time I saw Van Halen was in 1979." At this point, I attempted to clarify our situation, but the host warned me that if I raised my voice, he would not allow us back into the campground. After locating a screenshot of our reservation details, I showed it to him. He finally allowed us entry and handed me a printed copy of the rules, stating, "Next time, read the rules." This interaction left me feeling humiliated, belittled, and treated as though I were a criminal. The camp host's behavior was not only unprofessional but bordered on harassment. I understand the importance of rules and quiet hours, but they should be enforced with courtesy and respect--not hostility and profanity. I am deeply disappointed by this experience and will not be returning to Juniper Campground. I'm leaving this review to ensure others are aware of the treatment we received. Guests deserve to feel safe and welcomed--not intimidated or verbally abused.

There are some long term rvers but not that many. The prices is very good and you have lots of choices of types of sites. The place was well manicured as far as the grounds and we were able to park on a grass area which was awesome for our dogs and well appreciated. The bathrooms are definitely outdated but they were clean when we were there. It is in an industrial area but once in the park you can't tell. There is no access to the river from the park however you can ride a bike a short distance to the river walk which is so beautiful day and night. We never tried the pool so not sure how that rates but there were plenty of people using it. I had limited interaction with staff but what I did have was pleasant. I did ask if our spot was shady and she said it was which it wasn't. That would be my only complaint. I'm sure if I spoke up I might have got moved but that's on me for not asking to be moved. This is not a luxury park but I would stay again in a heartbeat mainly for the landscape, grass sites and being dog friendly.

If EMF's don't bother you, enjoy the convenient location, the fairly clean (old, but acceptable) bathrooms/shower house & full hookups. There's even a small pool the kids enjoyed. We had a tent site & our trailer. The downside was that they didn't turn off the sprinklers, so at 1:30 AM they sprayed the tents, soaking them for 1/2 hour. All in all we enjoyed our trip, but had to go home to recover.

In other words, this creek is gorgeous--you must see it. I came to Jackson for a retreat over the weekend with Junior League CARE Fair directors and chairpersons. Every time we left and returned to our cabin, we got to enjoy this view. We even had the opportunity to walk alongside the creek. It was very easy and the view will vanish every worry you have. There are several well made bridges that you can walk/drive over as well. Area is very clean with crisp blue water. It didn't look too deep, but it was so perfect that to even dip my feet in the water seemed offensive to mother nature. Not to say I wasn't tempted. Overall, I probably wouldn't drive 5 hours just for this one creek, but the surrounding contains so many scenic opportunities that you have to hit up this place if you're in the area. You just have to. Happy travels, my Yelpers!

    Situated deep within the Gros Ventre Mountains east of Jackson and Hoback Junction, Granite Creek -…read morethe campground, the waterfall, and the hot springs - are pure Wyoming outdoors magic. Sure, the mountains here don't captivate you with their granite-tipped titillation, and there aren't the glacial lakes that you'll be mesmerized by in Grand Teton National Park, nor will you mistake this area for the magnificent Wind River Mountains, the Bighorns, or the Snowy Range, but my oh my, Granite Creek is one pretty, pretty piece of nature. The USFS campground is one of the best I've found in the northern Rockies, with great sites overlooking the creek and sheltered by pines and awash in wildflowers from mid-June to August. The Granite Creek Falls are powerful to behold: not ethereal like Yosemite or awesome like Niagra or Multnomah, but what they lack in vertical elevation and volume they make up for in up-close-and-personal intimacy. You can literally dip your toes in the raging white torrents that fall from above into a creek that is so pure and clean that moose, elk, bear, and cranes simply love to stay here. You'll also find a superb CCC hot springs up the road, where you and your friends/family can soak in bliss while enjoying easy access to the Gros Ventre wilderness a mere mile or so up the main trail that follows the creek to its source. If you are in the Jackson Hole area, a side trip to Granite Creek - on dirt and gravel roads well maintained by the Forest Service - offers you another glance at Wyoming's wild lands that you won't find at Grand Teton. The falls are a great side trip, as are the hot springs, and the campground is well suited for car campers and RVers alike. All in all, this is a part of the Cowboy State that I never tire of seeing, season in, season out. Who needs to stay in Jackson for hundreds of bucks when affordable, adorable places like this are so close and enticing?

You'll travel south from Jackson to the Hoback Junction, traffic circle 3/4 turn. Take US 191 12 miles until you reach gravel/dirt Granite Creek Road taking a left. Do not go by the Yelp address listed as it's incorrect, and I haven't been able to find the specific address. Be prepared for an 11 mile bumpy ride while viewing gorgeous Granite Creek running through the Gros Ventura Mountains in the Bridger Teton National Forest. At the end of the road Granite Springs pool awaits you. Check for current pricing before you go, only open in summer (by car) and winter (by snowmobile, skis or dog sled). Also, important to note, you'll have no cell service within this area. Soak your cares away while enjoying the gorgeous Mountain View and the evergreen forest.

Small cars would not be recommended because there are tons large holes. The drive continue on the road and you will dead end into this destination. Walking up to the springs. Looks like a something out of a bad movie. Or the movie Vacation. Kinda scary or weird. Run down with shacks and satellite dishes. Once inside. There is no food or drinks allowed. So don't try it or you will get yelled at. The cost is for 1 hour. So plan on being booted after your hour. There are no towels or enough chairs. So be prepared to sit on the ground. The pool is cracked and run down. But once inside the water it is quite enjoyable. Our family had fun and it was a good experience. I would recommend based on the fact it was a fun time to get to swim in a natural environment. Overlook the pool cracks and moss growing it was worth the drive.
