Curtis Canyon Campground sits atop a hill about 20 min outside of Jackson in the National Elk Refuge. The drive there offers some of the best panoramic views of the Tetons and is quite breathtaking to witness during sunset. The campsites themselves are spacious and settled in small groves of trees. They each offer a fire pit, picnic table, bathroom, drinkable water fountain, and bear locker —which is essential. My partner and I spent three nights here cooking, roasting marshmallows, and chilling! The grounds has a Camp Host (currently the generous and welcoming Nash and Erin) who are there to answer any questions, offer suggestions, and keep a lookout for your site. Seriously, this spot is amazing!!

The only downside is the road up here can be a little tricky to navigate. Its a rocky road but if you drive smart and slow you’ll make it up fine!
