Very well maintained campground. Stayed here for a few nights in mid-Sept 2024; no fees - end of summer season. Summer time fee is $17. Mix of pull-thru and back-in sites. Some sites are in the open; others are set back into thick forest. Campground accommodates tent campers, hammock campers, van campers, car campers, truck campers. One camper managed get his big travel trailer into a campsite. Large sites, good spacing between them. Clean vault toilets in different parts of the campground. Water was still turned on during our stay. Usually has a host, but not during my stay. Campsites are level on a gravel surface with a newish table, metal fire ring and a tent pad. Area is popular with hikers. Good trails from the campground. No T-Mobile nor AT&T cell service. The forest road accessing the campground is in good shape; access is from the Idaho side of the Tetons. Stayed in site #2 with a campervan; pull-thru site with a tent pad. A lush forest was directly behind this site. Loved camping here. Look forward to returning.

We were excited to find this CG on Dyrt and that it wasn’t difficult to find (in spite of a reviewer’s commenting); but when we arrived, the gate was pad-locked. (Sign indicated open hours; but not that it would be closed for the season.)
Fortunately, we went .5 mile further and found a small dry camping site— maybe 4-6 vehicles could be accommodated. Sign there indicated that there was a 5-day limit for camping. A couple of other vehicles came in; but none chose to join us for the night. Camping area is right by the gravel road and there was traffic coming & going late into the evening & early in the morning; but regardless it was a great site w/ privacy from the road.

We’re on a month-long RV trip across CA, NV, WY, MT, WA, OR, & so far, this was our favorite stop by far!! The grounds are superb with on-site restaurant & laundry (free laundry — a first!). The owners are great, very attentive. AND we woke up to see a moose up close & personal! Also very close to Grand Tetons. All around an amazing experience. We loved it so much we’re trying to plan a family trip around staying here again.
GuideOutstanding little USFS campground with convenient trail access for Jedediah Smith Wilderness, Alaska Basin, and Grand Teton National Park. Vault Toilets are recently updated, the water is cold and clear, the creek is beautiful, and in my 3x staying the hosts have always been extremely helpful and friendly. The road back in is long and all gravel, but easy to handle in any vehicle if you keep it a reasonable speed. There is no cell service of any sort except in random, almost impossible to find again spots. Plenty of wildlife in the area- always be bear aware!
Traveler
It's an hour drive to Jackson. Around 1 1/2hrs to GTNP and 2+hrs to YNP. Cabin needs a few minor details to be better. Full length mirror, towel racks, instructions on how things work like washer/dryer combo and propane stove.
Traveler
Loved our stay at Jenny Lake. Makes for easy access to the lake instead of dealing with parking, which tends to be a problem. It’s also close to other trailheads! Restrooms were nice, and showers are available for $5 (9 minutes). Overall, views were absolutely stunning and I loved this campground!
ScoutSuper Hosts! For the job they have, it so refreshing to see that they still really care to make it a good experience for all of their visitors.
Guide
We stayed there for three nights to explore Jackson Hole. It was perfectly situated. The back is where the campers are and it was nicely situated. The sites weren’t huge but they were big enough. I loved taking a shower in the showers there. They were so clean and it felt nice after being in Yellowstone for a week and a half to have a bit of luxury outside of our camper.
LegendAshley here with The Dyrt. Happy to welcome this new listing to our platform. Check them out and come back here to leave some love!

Amazing pool and hot tub. Our site was paved. 40 minutes to Jackson. The restaurant was mediocre for breakfast but convenient. Overall enjoyed our stay!

Jake from the Dyrt here! Thaidaho Victor is a great spot for those looking to enjoy the Tetons and the surrounding area around Jackson Hole, with a small cabin and amenities, you can stay comfortable while surrounded by mountains. Check them out and please share some pics of your adventure!
Guide
Great option since I couldn’t find camping at GTNP it is about 30 min from moose, right now there are fixing the road so it may take extra 15 min. The lake is nice and views are amazing. Bathrooms clean, no showers. Fire ring , picnic table and bear food storage on every site, some mosquitos at evening time
TravelerWe stayed here for one night and the campground was entirely booked so reservations ahead of time are a must, at least when we went in May. The campground is very pretty and each spot has some sense of privacy, however it is hard to get a remote feeling. The drive around the campground may be tight for some larger vehicles as it is one-way but is nicely paved. The pull-in for the campsites was very tight for my larger vehicle with bikes on the back. The campground facilities were very nice and clean. The location of this campground is amazing, although the views from within the campsite we stayed at weren’t anything special. It is a walk or short drive to the welcome center and hike around Jenny Lake and up into the mountains. This was what our trip was all about! We only stayed at the campground for one night and had an amazing hike where we saw two baby brown bears playing in a tree while the mother bear was rustling around looking for food nearby and so many other cool animals including a Moose! Jenny Lake with the Grand Tetons in the background is one of the most beautiful spots of wilderness I have seen. This is a must go back to location as there is so much to do in the surrounding areas! It is also about 30 to 40 min. Away from Jackson Hall, which is a great place to get some yummy food, cool pictures of the town, and relax.
RangerQuaint little campground. Sites are gravel with picnic tables & fire pits. Friendly staff. Site maintenance very helpful. Checked on us within 30 min of set up. Mowed our site for us. So we could see the Beagle!!
GuideIt's a small campground not a lot of spots, but it nice. Camp by the river, nice views of the hills. Not unusual to have deer or moose come through the campground. 10.00 per night but if you have golden age pass it's only 5.00 per night.
GuideThe price you pay to camp right in front of this lake is insanely cheap! The camp host is a riot. BUT… the mosquitoes ate. Us. Alive.
Down the road is additional free camping as well.

My family and I recently stayed at Heise Hot Springs, and we enjoyed our time there. The campground felt more like camping, with open pit fires and good space between sites.
It's a small but extremely clean campground with everything you need. There are plenty of things to walk to, including a fun play area for children. The traffic is low and quite peaceful, making it a relaxing stay. We stayed for three nights and will visit again.
Overall, if you're looking for a camping experience with a touch of luxury(thanks to the hot springs!), Heise Hot Springs is a great choice. The pull-through site had everything we needed, and the peaceful and clean environment made it the perfect place for a family getaway.
GuideCampsite was adequate for 2 tents. It was far enough of the bathrooms for reduced noise. There are enough trees to put up a rain fly and a clothes line. The water faucet is a short walk. We had the pleasure of seeing a young black bear one morning but no moose. The showers are just fine. I didn’t use them but they are clean. You can pay with change or credit card.
Guide
I got into the area pretty late and I was exhausted from driving all day so I just snagged that very first spot that you hit shortly after the dirt road and it was perfect. It was small it was right on the road which I didn’t really like because there was quite a bit of traffic from the ranchers going back-and-forth but it wasn’t bad. Once everything settled in for the night I slept to the sound of The creek going by. In the morning I got to watch some cattle being herded which is pretty cool.
GuideCrushed stone sites. Very tight. No shade. Very good laundry and rest rooms. Quiet. Good views. Nice pool and hot tub. They are doubling the size with construction under way. They are honest about the construction. The town and area are nice. 40 minutes over the pass to Jackson and Teton Park. Lots of access to hiking and mountain biking.
GuideFrom the kind staff, to the well stocked general store.. my stay was great. Also, who can complain when you get private shower rooms!?
TravelerThis place is rundown and WAY over priced. Dirty would not begin to describe this place and we parked in Walmart parking lot last night. If they would give refund we would be gone. I will say the shower and bathrooms are the only reason to come here
RangerEnjoyed our stay here - pricey to be sure but everything in Jackson is. The campground is well run and pretty - nestled amongst the trees with a nearby creek. Our site was phenomenal - spacious with a large backyard of sorts up to the creek. It appeared other sites in the park were less generous in terms of space. All this said, probably your best bet while staying in Jackson these days.
TravelerThis was an amazing spot. The only thing is if you have dogs watch the outlet from the river that's right behind the camp spots....it's pretty mucky.
TravelerThis is a great campsite. Nicely spaced out sites, peaceful. We were here in July and the bugs were not bad. Just don't follow Google maps directions. It will place the route correctly but then tell you to turn wrong. Just follow the route it shows. There are also signs. Camp hosts are very nice.
GuideThis campground was alright. Enough space for our big rig, full hookups, and some shade from trees. We wished there was a view of the nearby mountains though. The cabins, which we were not in, looked fantastic, though. At the time we were there the cottonwood trees were releasing their seeds, so that was unpleasant.
LegendIf you are incredibly fortunate to snag a place at Jenny Lake Campground you'll have the rare experience of enjoying a small campground without RV's. Don't try to bring more than one car or a large van--- there simply isn't space in each driveway which is really engineered for a station wagon in the narrow parking space. The camp road is very, very tight.
There are 50 spaces for regular tent campers with cars and 10 amazing sites for bike or hiking adventurers who are without cars and need to register "on the day" they are passing through. The campground includes 3 ADA spaces close to the simple bathroom which was the first one in the park way back when….
Wind can be very strong.
Exceptionally friendly & gracious hosts are a bonus.
