First and foremost, very family friendly.
The easy accessible camp sites, the beautiful views, the blueberry skies to the emerald country side. There is something for everyone.

Incredible tent only campground only a short & easy hike away from Jenny Lake. Since it’s first-come, first-served with only 50 sites, you have to get there early to claim your site - especially in the summer. We got very lucky and had a wonderful site (#34) with a view of the mountains just below the tent pads. The site is large and had several balanced rock stacks around it, adding to its peacefulness. The clearing down below has a wonderful flat boulder where our boys played cards and watched for the elk that would frequent the clearing. Hosts were incredibly friendly and gracious, stopping to chat often.
I 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.
No RVs, only tents. Raised gravel beds for tenting and bear lockers on sites. Very close camping quarters, still decent basic amenities with bathrooms. No showers.
Great views, access to trails, relatively private and quiet!
Incredible views. Can walk to boat launch area. Take the boat across for some insane hikes and views of waterfalls. Get there super early and you will get a site.
Jenny Lake campground is a first come first served campsite. We showed up early and went and found a campsite without a mountain view. Turns out we came too early since all the mountain view sites were packing up to leave instead of unpacking. It turns out that the mountain view is not actually what you want. The wind howls deep and frequent and tore through many of those sites unless they were properly prepared for wind. We had an opening thru the other side of the tree line and our site was mildly windy, moreso at night. Day time temperatures were very warm, but nights were closer to freezing. We camped here middle of June and the early morning had snow drifting off the storms above the mountains. We were unprepared for the temperatures dropping that low. There are no showers at this campground. Be prepared to run across deer in there, I was not prepared on my groggy way back from the bathroom at 7am and was very shocked. I would have been in trouble had it been a scarier animal. The trail around Jenny Lake was the most grounding experience I've ever experienced. I dream of the chance of getting back her to repeat. The mountains are so beautiful, you have a hard time believing it's not a painting. The campground staff was very helpful and did frequent rounds to ensure everyone was complying to campsite rules. The sites are not too close, unless you want mountain view. There is a paved path that can lead you to the visitor's center. Be sure to do the ENTIRE path of Jenny Lake, but be prepared for an all day adventure!
Get there early, and be patient, first come first serve and ultra popular! Insane views of the tetons! Short hike to Jenny Lake and the boat dock. There is a great hike that leads to an incredible waterfall on the other side! For the win!
Great campground. Running water spickets are near or on every site. Bear boxes also In each sIte, plus a picnic table and fire pit wIth a grill grate that cam fold over it. There’s a flattened “pad” to pitch your tent on, and we were able to fit (2) two-person tents on it, but that was a squeeze, clearly designed for only one tent but a big one would still fit fine. There’s one restroom for the whole campground that has flush toilets, running water sinks, mirrors, and hand soap. The “caretaker” for the site has an RV right next to the restroom and he serviced it for us immediately upon request when it was out of TP. There were deer walking through the sites the whole time we were there which was awesome. Drawback to our site was that there wasn’t anywhere on it with privacy enough from other sites around it to go to the bathroom, so pretty much had to make the 5 minute walk to the bathroom each time. Also the site is right next to the lake, and lots to do and hike around it without getting in your car. The store is also right near by, maybe a 10 minute walk, and is pretty reasonably priced. Bought all our firewood there and other things we forgot like plates and cheese. We got super lucky to get the site though, as people would start showing up at 6am to get in line for the sites and while we were there they were all accounted for by 8am. “Checkout” was at 11am though, very reasonable.
If you have any car modifications to make your car a “camper” they will not let you stay. no built in stove or bed frame.
Quiet campground. Didn’t need a reservation and by Jenny Lake.
This campground is pretty within the trees at the park, but it fills up quickly.
This 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.
We stayed here and were treated to a luxury experience with a telephone next to the registration booth! In addition to being close to Jenny Lake the gorgeous Hidden Falls is also very close! There's no reason not to stay here but try to get here before 8 am if you want a spot!
Jenny 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.
Jenny 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!
Went on a national park tour have to say it was one of the best places we visited very clean lots of fun family activities and the sunset view of the Tetons was awesome
Stayed here on night 1 of a 5 day backpacking trek through paintbrush and cascade canyons. It basically puts you right on the trail. Most sites are shaded, but some open up to a great view of the Tetons. Be bear safe, as this campground was closed last time I passed through due to a black bear rummaging through the sites in search of food.
It was a quick trip, but worth reconnecting with my National Park passion! The campground was full, but after talking to the staff and host I found a spot. All I needed was 2 trees to hang!
Stayed here as part of our tour through the area of Jackson Hole and the Tetons. Many primitive tent sites with spots to park your car. There are about 50 sites available and they are first come first served. This is a busy park so get there early if coming at a peak period. Plenty of trees for a clothes line and there is a camp bathroom. Road access is closed Nov-May (this is the Tetons after all!) and the camp is really close to Jenny Lake Visitor Center and the Ranger Station. The campground is right on Jenny Lake which is beautiful! If you can get a good day hike in try to take the Jenny Lake loop. You will get to see Hidden Falls, Inspiration Point, Moose Pond, and Cascade Canyon. There is also a shuttle boat that comes in close to the campground and drops you off on the other side of the lake. Definitely worth it to take the entire loop if you can rather than take the boat. Kayaking is available on Jenny lake as well. My wife and I did that and it was well worth it!
Great car-camping site in the Grand Tetons. This campground has all the amenities you need, but also provides ample camping space so you don't feel squished. Really enjoyed the neighboring views and wildlife.
I fell in love with this place when I first saw it In 2005 on a road trip and vowed to go back. I've always been lucky enough to get a site but they really go fast. Once your camp is set you can forget about using your car keys because most everything you want to do is at your doorstep. The campground sits in front of the Tetons with the crystal clear Jenny lake between you. The trail around the lake is beautiful or you can take a ferry across the lake to get into the back country which I highly recommend both routes. Cascade Canyon and lake Solitude are wonderful day hikes with excellent payoffs. I've never been up in the canyon where I didn't see moose or bears or both. This year I was lucky enough to share this part of my life with my grandson. We started everyday with mountain house biscuits and gravy for me chicken and rice for him for seven days, yum. Or last hike into the backcountry was cut short about 7500ft by a sleet storm, great times.
Nice sites, and not as busy since they don't have as many "amenities"... I mean you are camping right?
Flush toilets, tables, fire pits, wildlife right outside your tents amazing views should be more than enough amenities.
While the sites could be a little more private, you're not too packed in and excellent starting off point to explore a bunch of trails and other parts of the park.
Wow!! The lake and the mountains are right next to the campsite. We thought it would be busy but we were pleasantly surprised how quiet and secluded you feel. We saw a ton of wildlife at our campsite. We were grateful for the bear boxes to keep our food. The trees that surround the campsites are huge. This is on our visit list.
A beautiful campground at the base of the Tetons. No reservations means be there early to get a camp site. There are nice flush toilets in a central location in the campground and great showers are just up the road at Signal Mountain. Sites aren't very private, but each is nicely equipped with a fire ring, bear box, and tent pad. Very quiet and peaceful with access to trails from the campground. The park service was in the process of upgrading the plumbing and some trails, so expect an even better experience than we had.
Perfect jumping off point for hikes in the Tetons. We hiked around Jenny Lake and up Cascade Canyon and hiked up to Lake Amphitheater as well. Sunset over the snake river with a view of the tetons is also a great evening side trip (bring some mosquito spray!)
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.
Very quiet and I like the scenery. Near the majestic Tetons!
We visited Jenny Lake, August 2014 and absolutely loved it. It is a perfect location to get away from RVs and Trailers. They offer a wide variety of campsites, some being open and some in the woods. The camp hosts very extremely friendly and helpful and would definitely return.
This 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.
