The staff here was very friendly and helpful. We had our two dogs, and the staff helped guide us to several awesome hikes that were dog friendly that were great. Additionally, the staff were very helpful with offering tours to our schedule when we wanted them (kayaking). The park is located in Victor, ID on the other side of Teton Pass from Grand Teton National Park (the resort is about a half a mile from the center of town) Victor is a charming small town with several breweries and a locally sourced grocery market. We really enjoyed the town, especially compares to West Yellowstone, which is where we went next.
Scout
Cute spot...it’s located toward the end of the Grand Teton National Park and close to South Yellowstone entrance. No cell phone reception at the sites but that’s ok! Bring bug spray! Lots of little mosquitos around!

This campground is not only a great place to have as a starting point for exploring Grand Teton National Park, but the campground itself has great features. Many hiking areas near, the beautiful lake, and nice sites. The trees and boulders surrounding the campground area added nice atmosphere.
Guide
Colter Bay is on the north end of Grand Teton National Park. As well as a large campground, it houses cabins, marina, beach, general store, post office, gas station, and visitor's center. There is much to do and see in the immediate area, and the lake and mountain views are exceptionally beautiful!
RangerI camped here as part of my National Park hiking trip to Grand Teton National Park. It was a quiet campground close to hiking at Jenny Lake. The campsites were first come and filled up quickly. Like most national park campgrounds, there were not showers, but flush toilets were available. This was a great place to camp while hiking the national park.
Guide
We stayed here for a few days - I had a conference in Teton Village and this was the perfect location. Easy to get to the conference hotel every morning for the breakfast sessions, and easy to get into Grand Teton National park in the afternoons.
Water and sewer hookup, and good WiFi if you need to work. Only problem was the tree branches blocked my satellite!
RangerNice National Park campground, though expensive. Reservations only. We had a pull through hookup site with water and electricity. The bathrooms have flush toilets and free showers. There are dishwashing stations at the bathrooms as well. Sites are close together but they did a good job of keeping the large trees as well. We felt it was a little far from hikes and other activities within Grand Teton National Park.
RangerWe went to Grand Teton National Park and stayed at many of the campgrounds and this one was surprisingly one of our favorite. We saw a lot of deer (which aren't too special) but seeing than made you feel like you were a part of the wild and part of the park. I liked other sites more but if there was no room at Jenny Lake, this is where I would go.
GuideThis coveted campground is for tents only, fwith only 49 sites, and no reservations. However, it is worth it to get there early (before 9am) to nab one of the sites as someone else packs up! You will be in a prime location in Grand Teton National Park, with stunning views along the many hikes along Jenny Lake. There is a visitor center within walking distance, and the campground are centrally located between the north and south ends of the park.
LegendCentrally located between Yellowstone national park in the grand Teton national Park this campground really has it all.
OK, there’s no Wi-Fi but there is laundry with a change machine, they have showers with warm water and toilets, A convenience store with groceries and a gift shop, gas station, and even a restaurant.
The sites are roomy enough not too close to your neighbor. Each site is full hook up and a pull through. ATT and Verizon service worked well.
GuideI stopped here on a cross country tour in June 2012. The Grand Teton National Park is probably my #1 park in America as of now. If you like to hike, a lot, and climb steep mountains to find meadows and streams with all kinds of wildlife on top of mountains then this is it. Abdplutely stunning. The tent-only campground is located just off of Jenny lake in the pines. Table, fire ring, flushing toilets (no showers), bike path, store and a short walk to Jenny lake. A+
TravelerJenny Lake is a tent only campground located right on the shore of Jenny Lake in Grand Teton National Park. During peak season (June-Aug) this campsite fills by 9AM but we arrived at 4PM and there were still spots available. From this campsite the main hiking hub of Grand Teton is within walking distance as well as the camp store as visitors center. Since it was still early in the season a lot of the trails were closed to snow but the open trails still made for an amazing experience.
Guide
Outstanding 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!
GuideWe stayed there 6/7 and 6/8/21 while we were visiting Grand Teton National Park. Good location to enter park on Moose Wilson road. This is a small entrance and no RV’s can enter here. The campground was clean. Only electric hook ups and cable tv. There was water available to fill your tanks and a dump station on site. They rent cars on site which is really convenient. It was over priced for what you get but the location is nice. It worked for us and we would stay there again. We were in site 70.
RangerJenny Lake Campground was our last stop in a multi-week camping/backpacking trip through Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. The peace and quiet Jenny Lake provides was just what we were looking for!
We arrived to the campground between around 8am and were able to get a site. I would suggest getting there at least that early during peak season as the campground is smaller and fills up quickly.
The campsites were spacious and well kept. Everyone was polite and friendly. We even had an elk wander through our campsite after dark!
We only stayed two nights but will definitely be back!
TravelerThis campground has some absolutely beautiful scenery as you would expect in Grand Teton National Park. It has access to river rock beaches with swimming at Colter bay, restaurants and gift shops (which we did not have time to explore), so much hiking and exploring you can do and yellowstone is in driving distance.
They are first come first serve so arrive early to get your spot as they fill up fast, even on weekdays. We left on a Friday at 6am before they opened for check in (in August) and when we left people were already in line in their cars waiting to get spots.
We were in loop B with a small trailer. Moderately private sites with fire ring, bear proof food safe, picnic table. Bathroom and water in easy walking distance.
RangerThis is one of the most popular campgrounds in the Grand Teton National Park, and I'm sure you can see why. It's right by Jenny Lake which is not only a beautiful place in itself, with a trail around the lake, and kayaking, but also a starting point for longer hikes, Like Solitude Lake and Cascade Canyon. It does fill up rather quickly but if you can get a spot, jump on it! There is only one bathroom at the beginning of the campground. Each spot has a table, bear safe food storage container, fire pit, and one tent pad which is big enough for two small backpacking tents or one big tent. It says to only have tents on the pads, but I believe we saw a couple people with a tent also set up on the ground. Bears do frequent this area, so you have to be safe. Wonderful campground, I would definitely return.
RangerI stayed here late winter and it looks like half the sites are closed in the winter. In addition to rv sites they offer full service cabins, dry cabins, and yurts. The facility is quite nice. Large, clean, individual bathrooms with showers. The sites are large enough and flat, but fairly close and many sites don't have a table. They also appeared to be doing a lot of construction. Decent wifi. There is also a good sized fire pit in RV area which I enjoyed. The do allow packages to be delivered. They are about 45 minutes to Jackson through a mountain pass. If you visit in the winter, make sure to bring chains as this pass can get pretty rough. Overall I enjoyed my stay, deducting one star as they seemed pretty expensive for the sites to be so close and construction equipment every where.

Atherton Creek Campground is a beautiful campground located in the Bridger-Teton National Forest in Wyoming. It is situated near the shores of the scenic Palisades Reservoir and offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains. The campground has a variety of amenities, including picnic tables, fire rings, and vault toilets. It is also a popular spot for fishing, hiking, and boating .
RangerWe stayed here during a two-week trip visiting several national parks in the West with our friends. Since we had limited time to spend at each of our destinations, we wanted to stay as close as possible to the parks, so this campground fit the bill for visiting both Grand Teton and Yellowstone.
We called ahead to be sure of check in procedures. We first drove to the visitor center and checked in. We were given maps and directions to our sites (our request for neighboring sites was honored). It was easy to locate Site 310, a pull through site with full hookups. The sites were level and mainly dirt (little to no gravel). The roads were the same, so everything stayed dusty for our three-night stay. There were some nice shade trees, and we were able to create a nice little shared yard space with our friends between the two trailers.
There was a great deal of foot and car traffic on the little road our site was on because of our proximity to the bathhouse. It was entertaining watching tent campers run to the bathroom in the mornings while we sipped our coffee outside. We didn’t spend much time hanging out here because we spent the majority of our time visiting the two national parks. Cell service was nonexistent unless we drove to Jackson Overlook. Being out of touch with our families was the worst part of staying here, so we made the ten-minute drive to this point to touch base and take care of emails/business back home. The gas station near the campground was convenient for fuel and ice, so we appreciated that especially after driving through the desolate areas of Wyoming.
Although the dusty roads were an annoyance, we decided that this was the best place to stay for anyone wanting to visit both national parks and have the luxury of full hookups. We would definitely stay here again for visiting Grand Teton and Yellowstone. Maybe by then, they’ll have some gravel.

Best camp site i have been to so far on a month long trip and over a dozen camp sites. 12c on Leigh lake is breath taking. About 2.5 miles hike from trailhead. Bear box, fire ring and right on the water.
RangerThis is a back country site that requires a reservation. It is a short hike, less than 1 mi from parking. This was the last night of a 4 night backpacking trip in the Tetons. Quiet, secluded. You can't pick a bad spot under the Tetons. Must use bear canisters for food storage at this site, which are issued when you pick up your permit. Clean camping, please, pack it in-pack it out. After a long hike over Paintbrush Divide (see pic) it was a welcome swim in Leigh Lake.
LegendA nice and easy hike in, great for introducing someone to backpacking. Right on the shore of Leigh Lake with a impressive view of Mount Moran. The site has a large bear box big enough for all your food and other items, eliminating the need to carry a bear vault. There is a large sitting area with a fire ring and some natural benches. We cooked down by the water, as we felt the fire pit area was too close to the tent cribbing. We piched our tarp just outside of the cribbing area that was just as impacted in an effort to get even further away from where we prepared our food. The campsite is almost entirely in the shade as well.
You can also paddle into this spot via String Lake and a short portage to get to Leigh Lake.
TravelerIt's hard to say anything bad about any campsite in the Tetons. This site does hold snow well into the spring and summer, and is hike in only, so prepare to work a bit for your spot. The seclusion is worth it, but prepare for wildlife, as I did have a bear circle my tent overnight. This site has great access to some of the more remote Backcountry hikes in the park, so if you want to spend your time in the park by yourself for a few nights, this can be a great first stop before you trek into the mountains.
RangerI experienced my first night in the backcountry at Leigh Lake and can't wait to go back there soon. The hike was relatively flat with great views along the way of String Lake, Leigh Lake and Mt. Moran. One side of the site is completely open to Leigh Lake and around the corner is the peak of Mt. Moran while the other side of the site is a dense forest filled with trees. We spotted elk walking through the trees in the morning while relaxing on the beach waiting for the sun to come up. There is plenty of space so loading up a kayak would be ideal. We packed and hiked to the site so had limited space but there is plenty of room to spread out on a nice tent site and beach if you're able to kayak across the lake.
GuideAbsolutely beautiful place to camp and that's about it for me here. If you want a spot show up at 6 AM and take a nap until 8 AM when it opens to let you go get a site. If you don't do this you will not get a spot. Their is only one bathroom in the entire campground its O.K. no showers at all. I'm the camper that likes to set things up and enjoy the actual camp site. I like to set up a good eating cook out area and enjoy a lot of food and hanging out. I'm not the bare minimum next to nothing eating out of an MRE camper. That being said the amount of cleaning and putting every thing away for the bears is way to much work and made the camping not fun at all. I don't blame the bears or anything else it was a lot more than I anticipated.
I would recommend using a camper not tent camping if you camp like me. If you're the bare minimum camper its perfect for you. I recommend this campsite though just absolutely beautiful place to be.
LegendAs usual with me, it’s more about the area than the actual campground, but this is actually probably my favorite campground in the Tetons. It just has a really nice feel to it and it’s obviously in a beautiful area. You can walk right to the lake from the campground.
You can find sites close to others or pretty secluded so it’s got something for everyone. There’s a ton of regular camping sites and also some for bikers and hikers. I think all are first come first served.
My friends and I had a great time here. We drove into the park and did some back packing in the death shelf area. We stayed at the campground and chilled for a night before doing some climbing. Really nice campground right in the heart of the Tetons.
