    Falls Campground

    Beautiful and quiet

    Wonderful location! The views are spectacular. Great stop over location on your way to or from Grand Teton National Park. Most of the services were off for the season during my stay but the campground was still wonderful. Could be a problem with bugs in the summer. Several large sites suitable for trailers. The sites were spacious and had adequate privacy between gusts. For being semi closed for the season, the fault toilets were wonderfully cleaned.

    Teton Valley Resort

    Helpful and friendly staff, great BBQ, growing resort

    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.

    Gros Ventre Campground — Grand Teton National Park

    Best trip ever

    I went out to Wyoming a couple of summers ago, and honestly it was one of the most amazing trips I have ever been on. I stayed with some friends from college in Gros Ventre campground. There were a whole bunch of us spread out over 3 sites, but the staff was very accommodating and helped us find three sites that were all connected.

    The sites themselves are great. Pretty secluded from the other campers, which I love. The campground has clean drinking water and is located next to a river if you need to wash off. No showers though, so it really feels like you're roughing it.

    The campground is located only about 20 minutes from the town of Jackson Hole. The place made me want to never leave Wyoming. The town has some cute coffee shops, a bouldering wall downtown, and awesome stores for outdoor enthusiasts.

    The camp is also located only about 20 minutes from Grand Teton National Park. If you've never been to Wyoming, you can't imagine how beautiful this place is in the summer. Wildflowers everywhere, and once you get far enough into the park it feels like you're somewhere no other people have ever been. The stars are crazy bright and the mountains are unreal. Definitely one of my favorite national parks. I would highly recommend taking a backpacking trip through the Tetons or doing some rock climbing.

    One of my all time favorite campgrounds and favorite places.

    Pinnacles Campground - Brooks Lake

    Waterfront Camping with Amazing Views

    We were so lucky to stumble upon Pinnacles Campground en route to Grand Teton National Park. We were actually looking for another campground nearby, but passed the sign for this campground and pulled in to check it out. 

    This is a national forest campground, so amenities are few. There are pit toilets, water spigots, and dumpsters, plus you can buy firewood from the campground host. Other than that, you're on your own. Each site includes a picnic table, fire pit, and a bear box. The night we camped here, there was bear activity and the campground host was reminding everyone to be on high alert and to be careful on one of the nearby hiking trails as there was a carcass that a bear had been feeding on. 

    There are 21 sites, all with pretty amazing views. Many are located right on Brooks Lake with views of the mountain range beyond. Some of the sites are more wooded, but even these have some cool views of the "pinnacles," which are cool rock features. There's a trail you can access to hike Pinnacle Butte. We did not attempt this because of all the bear activity. 

    What we loved about Pinnacles Campground:

    1. I think $16 per night is pretty awesome for a waterfront campsite

    2. The campground hosts were very friendly

    3. Brooks Lake and the stream outlet are great for fly fishing

    4. This campground is less than an hour from Grand Teton National Park

    5. The views were amazing - during our stay we saw a great sunset, full moon rising, and a rainbow

    What we didn't love about Pinnacles Campground:

    1. The mosquitoes were probably the worst we've ever experienced

    2. All the bear activity was a little nerve-wracking

    Gros Ventre Campground — Grand Teton National Park

    Beautiful

    This campground sits right outside Grand Teton National Park. It is a beautiful campground and quiet. I had a handicapped spot next to the bathroom and had electric hookups. No water at the site, no showers in the restroom area. There is a dump station on the way out - you have to reserve it. Paths to walk your dogs, friendly staff. Picnic tables and fire rings at each site; they do sell firewood there. I was fortunate enough to be able to book a spot just a few weeks in advance during the busy summer season. Highly recommend this campground if you are visiting the Grand Tetons.

    Gros Ventre Campground — Grand Teton National Park

    Nice but not special

    Nice place for fishing and good starting point to explore Grand Teton National Park. It was pretty crowded and the toilets are far away from most campsites so if you don’t want to walk through someones privacy you have to walk a couple minutes to use the restroom.
