Grand Teton National Park Campgrounds

Camping in Grand Teton National ParkGrand Teton National Park Campgrounds are located throughout Grand Teton National Park and all of them provide exceptional Grand Teton camping experiences for the entire family.

The advantage of Grand Teton National Park's smaller size (compared to Glacier National Park and Yellowstone National Park) is that a majority of the Grand Teton Park campgrounds are fairly close to all of the popular attractions and hikes in Grand Teton National Park.  Many visitors will find one campsite and use it their entire vacation.  That way they are spending less time worrying about getting another campsite and spending less time setting up and tearing down.  Instead, they are more able to spend time exploring the incredible attractions and hiking trails that Grand Teton National Park has to offer. 

Below is a list of campgrounds in Grand Teton National Park, as well as helpful details of each campground and where they are located.  There are 7 Grand Teton National Park Campgrounds for motorized vehicles, and below is a description of each of them...  Note: Group Campsite Reservations are available for Colter Bay Campground and Gros Ventre Campground only.

Signal Mountain Campground

The Signal Mountain Campground is located within the Signal Mountain Area about 17 miles north of the South Entrance to Grand Teton National Park at Moose Wyoming.  This is definitely one of the most popular Grand Teton National Park Campgrounds because of its central location.  However, there are only 86 sites available, therefore during the summer season this campground usually fills by mid-afternoon.  These sites are found within a mixed forest of lodgepole pine, spruce and fir, and most campsites are quite intimate and have a vehicle length limit of 30 feet.

The Signal Mountain Area provides visitors with many activities, including hiking, boating, fishing, canoeing, kayaking and more.  The Signal Mountain Area also has a convenience store and gas station right next to the campground, as well as a gift store and restaurant.  There are also cabins and motel rooms available at the Signal Mountain Lodge.

The Signal Mountain Campground lies next to the shore of Jackson Lake, and all of the campsites are only a few hundred yards from the beach at the most, and some are very close to this beautiful lake.  The view of the Teton Mountain Range from this lakeshore is absolutely spectacular.  In fact, we feel one of the best views of the Tetons is at the Signal Mountain boat ramp, which is right next to the campground.

Jenny Lake Campground

Even though the Jenny Lake Campground in Grand Teton National Park is for tents only, this is one of the most popular Grand Teton Park campgrounds.  Much of this is due to its location next to the famed Jenny Lake Area, and because there are only 49 campsites available.  Located along the Teton Park Road about 8 miles north of the South Entrance to Grand Teton National Park at Moose Wyoming, this popular campground is very close to Jenny Lake, and lies within an evergreen forest with large glacier boulders found occasionally throughout the campground.

Only one vehicle is allowed per campsite (2 motorcycles = 1 vehicle), and the vehicle cannot be longer than 14 feet and less than 8 feet tall.  Pop-up campers are not allowed.  If you like tent camping, this is an ideal campground to stay at while exploring Grand Teton National Park.  (By the way, Signal Mountain Campground is only 9 miles north of Jenny Lake, so if you don't like camping in tents, there's a regular campground not too far away.)

  • Jenny Lake Campground, Grand Teton National Park

    About 8 miles north of the South Entrance of Grand Teton National Park at Moose.

Camping in Grand Teton National Park is a very special experience.  Seeing the early morning sun first begin to touch the summits of the Teton Mountain Range or watching the sun disappear behind these great mountains is a life-changing treat that makes "being there" even more special.  And since you are far from the lights of the city, the stars above you at night are so numerous and so spectacular it's impossible to describe.  There's something about camping in the Tetons that is like no other place on earth... maybe it's knowing that the towering Tetons are watching over you, or maybe it's hearing bull elk bugling throughout the night during the fall rut... Whatever the reason is, camping in Grand Teton National Park is an experience that you and your family will truly enjoy.
