Located close to south rim

I was able to make last minute reservations. Staff is great. Property is clean and well maintained. Showered $3 for 7 minutes and i felt very exposed- no locks on main door or shower area. Washer and dryer $5 each per load ($10 total for 1 load), restaurant with bar style food- had the pizza and it was delicious. Little shop with snacks, drinks and souvenirs. Not sure if there’s a quiet time, I’m tent camping and the rv 2 spots down was up and hanging out with children playing until at least 11pm. Only real complaint is it’s right off the main highway that goes in and out of the park so there was a lot of street noise and the closest restroom someone has a large tent pitched that butts up almost against the womens door so a little weird going in and out. Paid $19 a night plus tax for non electric site. I think fairly priced and would return again with more cash for the shower / laundry.

Only perk is wifi and location to park

There is no quiet time. Generators ran all night. The jeep rental company at the front of the lot started pressure washing jeeps at 5:15am. The construction crew kicked off their day and heavy machinery at 6:25am. No privacy, sites are right on top of each other, especially with bigger rigs (I was car camping). Pool and showers is included in the fee (week nights 29 weekends 34). Had WiFi not been required for me working all of the other campsites around that are part of the NP are much nicer and more scenic views and cheaper. WiFi only works near office and restaurants, so no matter where you stay on the property you have to come to the front to use WiFi (for most people not a big deal, but I’m working so it was inconvenient but better than nothing). There is a bar and food / restaurants on site- all severely overpriced. Local draft beer $11, grilled cheese $17, breakfast buffet $18, dinner buffet $32. I didn’t use the pool but lots of others did and seemed really happy with it. Staff was all nice except a younger man working early shift at reception. All in all - Would not stay here again.

Nice place to sleep

Surrounded by mountains and waterfront. Quiet- although there is a train track close that did wake me once. But for $5 no complaints. Clean restrooms.

Zero thrills but cheap and convenient

Car camping and needed a place to sleep to break up my drive from Gunnison Colorado to grand Teton- $11 cash. Includes CLEAN restroom and shower. No breathtaking view, no trees or shade no real privacy other than the ability to space out. It’s perfect for what i needed it for, a safe, clean and convenient place to sleep for a few hours before hitting the road. It even seems like theirs WiFi so going to try watching some Netflix

Beautiful views depending on your spot

I’m tent camping from my car, but after seeing the tent sites that are on top of each other and zero views i asked to move to the rv overflow lot. It’s more spread out, same amenities as the rustic tent and 180 mountain sunrise views. I’m also working full time while here and the internet has been pretty dependable so far. There is a laundry and shower both for additional fee, as well as a pool for additional charge. Indoor restrooms as well. There is an area to refill on drinking water and an are to wash dishes. A bit of road noise during the day as the overflow lot has an unobstructed view of the mountains, it’s also right off the main road / highway. It was peaceful and quiet at night though so that’s all that mattered to me.
