Convenient to Jackson Hole & Grand Tetons

Gros Ventre is a great location if you want to visit both Jackson Hole and the Grand Tetons and camp somewhere convenient in between. As a big campground south of the main entrance to the NP, the sites here don't seem to fill up as quickly as the sites at more popular deep in the park campgrounds like Jenny Lake.

If you get a spot along the first row in any of the loops, you can set up your tent with a great Tetons view. Staff in the ranger station were friendly, and because it is a big park, you can use a credit card to pay for your site. Some sites have more privacy than others. If you know what you really want (view, privacy, near toilet) ask when you check in.

Sites had standard picnic table, bear box, and fire ring, and toilets were easily accessible within each camping loop. You're not far from Jackson if you want to visit the town.

The campground is very accessible to the Mormon Road and the most photographed barns in front of the Teton sunrise/sunset. It's also a great location for cycling. There are some nearby hikes, but the better hikes are just a quick drive into the actual NP.
