Jenny Lake Campground — Grand Teton National Park
Reviewed May. 25, 2020

Incredible Mountain Views!

As a tent camper, this is my favorite campground in my favorite place to hike.  If your site is towards the entrance and/or east side of the campground you have wonderful views of the Teton range from your site.  

I have camped here a few times over the years, and have loved it each time.  Due to the view and the proximity to Jenny, Leigh, and String lakes it is an extremely popular campsite not to mention it is relatively quiet due to it being a tent only campground.

The current campground manager has done an excellent job developing an efficient check-in procedure that respects the privacy of the campers, as I have in years prior had people coming to my tent before 6am to ask if I'm leaving or staying longer.

Each site has a fire ring/grate, picnic table, and a bear bin.  The campground has only one bathroom which is centrally located but has been remodeled and is much improved from my previous stays.  Sites can vary quite a bit, but our site had a large tent pad and a water faucet.

It is common for deer and bear to frequent the campground traveling to and from the lakes.

This campground has easy access to hikes around the lakes as well as back into Cascade Canyon.  The Jenny Lake general store/gift shop, ranger station, and boat dock are all short walks from the campground.
