Don't know whether this would fit your definition of "backcountry", but there is a nice Forest Service campground named Atherton Creek at Slide Lake a couple of miles east of Grand Teton. Go north from the little town of Kelly to Gros Ventre Road, turn right for about 5 miles to the campground. A mile or so in you will pass a couple of old log buildings on the left that were used in making the 1953 western movie "Shane". Shortly before the campground there is a parking area for trails on the Gros Ventre landslide.

Gros Ventre Road changes to gravel past Atherton Creek, but another 5 miles in will take you past beautiful red hills to the Forest Service campground named Crystal Creek.
Site 4 at Crystal Creek
