Large campground. Sites are pretty small, bear boxes, picnic table and fire pit provided. Flush toilets, no showers. Bathrooms were clean. Threaded Water spigot available by the bathrooms. I was charged $6 for water when I reserved ~ no clue why. They had firewood for sale as well. Stayed in the No Generators loop, since I’m off grid, it was great they had that to offer. Staff was very friendly. Stayed 3 nights.
Stayed here for two nights just prior to Memorial day. The campsite itself was ok, a bit close to neighbors but that's ok. The issues I had were the picnic table was probably 20 years old and falling apart. The fire pit had a lot of half burned logs and ashes. While walking my dog he was attacked by two off-leash dogs which was no fun of course but no harm just a good scare for everyone thanks to irresponsible dog owners however I saw more than a few loose dogs and no enforcement of the dog rules which always sucks as a responsible owner myself since this is exactly why dog rules have become more strict than ever. Anyway, had a generally OK experience here but for the price I expect better.
Very pleased with this campground. Some sites had nice views. We had a back-in site that was facing the Gros Ventre wilderness. It was fun to see mule deer hanging out behind our site. We actually saw moose daily near the entrance. This site was an easy drive to many of the best places to visit in Grand Teton, and wasn’t too bad of a basecamp for a visit into Yellowstone, although, if we did it over again, we would’ve relocated closer to Yellowstone for that part of our trip. The campground bathrooms were plumbed, very clean and stocked with TP, paper towels, hand soap. No showers at all on this campground. No water hookup at site, so if you’re in an RV plan to fill at the entrance. Dump station is limited to 40ish dumps for the whole campground per day so you have to reserve in advance for the days you plan to dump with the office. This is a reservation only campground currently and is not first come first serve. Reservation process was very easy online. When we booked in advance there were plenty of sites but it was quite full once we were there so I don’t recommend waiting too late before you book. Fun things to see, be sure to check out Moose-Wilson road if it’s not closed for the season when you visit. Jackson Hole is a fun touristy downtown scene when you’re ready to get out of the wilderness for a bit. Jenny Lake had the best views of Grand Teton.
Let me start by saying I hated the overall vibe in Grand Teton NP. People were selfish, pushy, rude. Everything was set up there for the most selfish to win. We came here after a stay at Yellowstone and thought we would try our hand at a small first-come-first-serve campground. We woke up at like 2 in the morning and got to a wait and frenzy kind of weirdness where people just wasted gas driving in circles to rush to the first spot they could find someone leaving. I wanted nothing to do with that so we left and started looking at other options. We pulled into Gros Ventre and they still had spots, thank goodness.
The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Our site was awesome with a path back to a quieter area for the tent. A staffer told us to watch for a moose cow and baby that had been oft seen lately, but I never did see them. Excpet I MIGHT have seen moose legs through the open flap of our tent haha.
You can walk to the river and there are endless stones to practice skipping. There's a better local vibe in this campground that is way better than the rest of the park. The bathrooms are nice - flush toilets and running water. No showers. A flushing drain for your dish water. Bear boxes for each site.
Enjoyed camping in the cottonwoods Moose loped through the campground during morning coffee Black tail deer at sunset
Bathrooms need upgrades
This is one of my favorite campgrounds in the Tetons. The location is hard to beat with moose frequenting the area. The sites are level, large, and fairly spread out. The bathrooms are in need of some serious updates but at least there is running water. I had good service with Verizon
Clean campground. Moose walked through this morning. One of the last open this year so very full.
This is a large campground that feels private. We were in loop D, no generators allowed with electrical hookups. We had great views but not of the Tetons. Moose frequent that area and was fun to admire (from a distance). Biking in and near the campground is fun. Bathrooms are plenty and clean. Short walk to the river for fishing was fun and beautiful. Site was large. Dump station was busy but clean. Loved it here! Will be back.
Went there as a home base to explore the grand Tetons. The host volunteers were awesome. Very booked for September but never felt crowded Bathrooms clean. Moose near our site every morning
Well, 2021 a little different this year because everyone is camping…. Now reservations are required. The CG is spacious. Now, you make sure you know how to maneuver your rig in small sites. Otherwise this CG is quite nice.
The location of this campground is great! We loved being right inside the national park, it was a short drive to wherever we wanted to go. However, the campground is getting very run down. The picnic tables are falling apart, fire rings were located in dirt piles. The bathrooms were not very clean. I think we have the worst campsite in the whole campground. There was not enough room to park both are pick up and 17 foot trailer. The ground when you walked out of our camper door was like a ski slope right into some bushes. It was very hard to enjoy our campsite. The views and location of this campground make the problems worth the visit.
This campground has a range of options from tent only to full hookup, even though those were reserved for employees. We enjoyed that this campground was off from the main attractions of GTNP. It was also closet to Jackson for town amenities. We booked here due to reviews about moose sightings. We didn't see any moose in the campground but we had good luck at some over looks near the campground. It was right next to the Gros Ventre river which was a good spot for fly fishing. There were no showers. No hiking trails near the campground. It was quiet during our visit even though it was full every night. Sites parking varies dramatically from site to site.
This campsite was so convenient. We stayed two nights and were able to go everywhere in the park. A great home base
We spent three nights in the camp grounds. Tent site was not drive in so we could not use our car awning on this site . However it had sun in the morning and good shade in the afternoon. Camp ground was busy but quiet at night. Close to the Moose WY park entrance and Morman row. Bathrooms clean and efficient check in. Not too far from Jackson.
Campground was very clean with a freshly paved drive and parking spot. Our spot was full sun but we didn't get there until 9 so that wasn't an issue. Clean bathrooms with flush toikets. Fire pit with food away grill grates. Neighbors were fairly close and not much privacy at this particular site. Close to Jackson and the South entrance to Grand Teton. Also saw a couple moose on the way in. Good overall experience.
We reserved a spot here for insurance purposes in our visit to the Grand Tetons. A pretty developed campground with all your necessities minus showers. Honestly, this place wasnt much for us. Not sure why they decided to put a campground in front of a hill that blocks the view of the Grand Tetons. It's a great place for family camping and whatnot but pretty spendy.
The park was ok. We had a nice spot in Loop D with the Gros Ventre River right behind us. Definite Moose presence there as well! We saw 3 adult Moose and 1 young moose with it's mom.
The site itself was nice, but very tight! Piles of tree trimmings on the sides of the road and the sites made it difficult to fit our travel trailer and truck in our spot. It would have been nice if they hauled out the piles of down trees and branches, but even without the branches the sites are quite small for trailer and tow vehicle. We had reservations for a site that our trailer definitely should have fit in so I’d size up your site just to have a spot to fit parking your truck.
Water and Dump station were easy to get to and use.
Able to get a last minute cancelation and book 2 nonconsecutive nights. Great location to south entrance of Grand Tetons National Park. Sites are level and paved. Paths from camp site are available to restroom (no showers).
Also, good proximity to Jackson, WY.
We stayed three nights here. Toilets were clean but older. Spots were spread out so you had the illusion of privacy. A little far from the things I wanted to do in the park, but it was okay so that we didn’t have to stay in a campground that I looked out my window into another camper.
Checkin was quick and convenient. We had an electric site close to the restroom. We stayed 10 days beginning 5/22/21. We are already trying to get another site for next month when we come back through. Fingers crossed.
PROS: *Large campground, but loops are not, so it doesn't feel cramped. *Site are pretty generous *Note all sights were level (mostly the shorter sights). But all are doable. *Restroom was spotless *Picnic tables and large firepits ar each sight. Lots of wood to gather to burn or boxes of wood are for sale. 8.99 *It is very quiet her. *A moose wondered through our loop 2 days in s row.
CONS:
This campsite is easily accessible if you plan to stay in the south end of the park. It’s a short drive from both Jackson and the South Entrance. The camp itself offers all the essential amenities with beautiful vistas. I for one wish the camp wasn’t placed directly behind a hill blocking just about the entirety of the Tetons. The fact that the tops Peak out from behind the hillside makes up for it though. Pro tip: wake up early to see the Tetons light up a fiery red!
Starting this summer in 2021, all Grand Teton National Park campsites must be reserved in advance online at Recreation.gov.
Gorgeous views, huge campground, bring your allergy meds when the cottonwood fluff starts flying in June.
We tried to snag a BLM spot, but didn't make it in time. Many of the campgrounds in the area book up fairly fast in the mornings. However, we heard Gros Ventre normally has spots because of the size of the campground - something like 300 spots. It's a big campground that could feel impersonal, but there are many spots facing the Tetons that feel a little more "personal". It's really well located - super easy distance to Grand Teton National Park and the town of Jackson. What it lacked in "character" was made up in ease of use and central location. Also, perfectly located on the way towards Yellowstone if you are planning to do both parks in one trip.
This was the first place I ever camped in Wyoming and I’ve been back three times since! The views are amazing. The drive to the site is kind of rough but it’s definitely worth it.
We arrived shortly after the office closed but there were still plenty of tent sites available. The self check-in process was a breeze. The sites and facilities were well maintained. Try to get a site that looks towards the mountains.. what a gorgeous site to wake up to!
This is a large park. We stayed here because we were told there were moose in the area. We asked for a remote site so that we would increase our chances of seeing a moose. That actually was not necessary. Although we did see moose from a distance at our site, when we drove around the campground there were moose sitting right in the middle of the busiest section. We continued to see them throughout our stay. On the last day as we were leaving, one walked right in front of our RV. I would highly recommend this campground to anyone staying in the area. It is a beautiful setting. The bathrooms are clean. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We will be back!
Get here early if you want a spot even between 9-11am is best time. Otherwise you might not have one. Check out is not until 11am. We were here with 2 40" and a 30'. First time we stayed in the parking lot amphitheater- which is ok. That's where you see the moose and we did. You have no water or electric, but there is a dump station and they do not charge to dump. Located right outside of Jackson and the tetons and on the snake river about 5 min up the road. At $33 a night it's a good spot, for a few nights. You can run your generators from 8am÷10pm. There is a section that has electric only and a few HUGE ADA sites. All asphalt and all for the most part level.
This campground is wonderful b/c of the access to fishing and the Gros Ventre river. You can hear the river at night while sleeping, and you only have to walk a short distance to access the river.
Other great qualities include its short driving distance to town, as well as being within and close to other fantastic national parks. The wildlife is wonderful too-we often had moose walking right through the campground.
The campground also has clean bathrooms and helpful employees.
Expect the campground to be busy b/c of its location-access to Yellowstone, Jackson, fishing, etc. There was a long line of RV's and vehicles every day, as early as 5 or 6am, to check in.
Also, the campsites are not private, and are very close together.
We loved it though, and our Siberian Husky Finn loved being there.
This year, everything is different. It’s off-season, but I still had to wait at 9 AM, for about an hour in a line of 20 cars to get a spot What a gem! But it’s a big campground, so the wait was worth it and I stayed for two days. The sites are very close together, so you don’t have privacy, but folks seem to be very respectful and friendly. You can also have a fire in the fire pit, and it’s outside of the park with excellent views, and access to the national forest easily. Some nearby views below.
Great campground to spend a couple of nights near the grand Tetons. Woke up to a moose right outside our camper. Since it is a little drive from the park it is the last campground to fill up but even with about 400 sites it was still full by late morning. First come but check in was very smooth and sites were plenty big for even the large rv’s. We have a 13’ ft scamp so size isn’t a issue for us but it is nice to have so much room.
