This spot is a gem offering a weekly stay for only $53 and includes access to their amenities like showers and wifi access. I had no trouble getting a fast reliable connection to their wifi for work from the lot you park in.

Truly a magical spot. The road is very bumpy and a little tight at spots getting in, but we were able to get in without issues with our 26' trailer. Even in the peak heat of the year, you'll have no trouble cooling off being parked literally 20 ft. from the Targhee Creek. There are only 2-3 spots down at the water and then a bunch more driving in which would not have water access. We spent many a days just hanging out in the creeks cool shade. The only downside to call out is that there are biting flies and some mosquitos that come out in numbers between ~1PM though ~6PM daily when the winds are calm. They don't seem nearly as bad if you are in the water vs hanging outside near the water. The Verizon service was plenty fine for me to work or stream video, but I found AT&T to be a little less reliable. We didn't see any wildlife at the site, but did manage to see a herd of ~25 mountain goats while backpacking the Targhee creek trail which you can walk to from the campsite.

Just wanted to post this as a public service announcement. We stayed at a couple different areas along the homestake reservoir road in August and found the mice to be a huge problem. I spent hours under the trailer trying to figure out where they were coming in, but couldn't find any openings (I suppose the mice are more clever than I am!). We would have just packed up an left, but we had a commitment that we had to stay in the area for. Overall, we caught 20 mice in less than 2 weeks. When I put a trail camera under the trailer to try and get a peak at where they were coming in, I would often times see 3+ mice in the view of the camera at a time and hundreds each night.
