No hook ups, but there were 2 potable water spots to fill up and 2 dump stations. We had a generator spot which was nice. Spots sectioned by generator or non generator. We did see that there were some electric sites in one section. Close to the general store, gas, hikes, etc. We also biked through the campground with our dog multiple times which was nice.

Spots are a bit packed together but most have trees for privacy unless you are in the full hook up area. There is a nice store and free dump station. Beautiful beach with a view of the Tetons. Zero T Mobile service anywhere in the area

This is the largest campground in Grand Teton so lots of people. Our site was perfect lots of room for our dining tent as well as our 28ft travel trailer/ pick up. Nice and shady too. We did have to work a little to level the trailer.
Bathrooms were not clean so that was a bummer. They said they cleaned daily but only drove up signed clean sheet and left. This was a generator loop but many abused that running them long hours and some were large contractors generators extremely loud.
We would camp here again. Short walk to Jackson Lake.

Flush toilets close by. It was quiet and not Smokey. All sites were full. We did have a visitor about 6pm the first day, a large male black bear. Adjacent campers called out the siting. We moved into our trailer and the bear walked within 10 feet of our trailer then cruised through our site then off into the woods. We did not have any food or trash outside. Less than a miles away is a small grocery store, showers, laundry and some restaurants. Very central location to all of the Park.

I paid the premium to stay in the park, and honestly regretted it. I’ve been to the Tetons before to know this is a popular area, but had never camped here. The sites were pretty exposed to neighbors, and it seemed like 95% of the campground tried to have a raging bonfire. Even with wildfire smoke in the area, they managed to smoke out the whole loop. Kids running through the park at all hours and the large amount of traffic made me think I was at a KOA. I definitely prefer smaller USFS campgrounds and learned my lesson on this one. It was a decent place to make a sunrise launch into the park, however, so for that it was good.

If you don't need any sort of WiFi or phone service then this is the place for you.

We were able to get in without advanced reservations the first night by someone leaving early and leaving their slip at the gate (not a likely occurrence). The nest two nights we got in the morning from cancellations through Reservation.gov (no first come first serve here). The sites are nice and wooded with good privacy and great trails for the kids to ride bikes. We were in O loop, which had nice trail access to Jackson lake for some afternoon swims (very refreshing). Great place, but I recommend trying to get advanced reservations.

There is easy access to all of Grand Tetons NP from this location. We enjoyed renting kayaks from the marina for a day. Dry camping here. But any amenity you might need is available at the well stocked camp store. There were few showers & laundry available as well.

I was expecting an amazing spot. I dislike spots with a lot of dirt. Prefer grass for tenting. The dirt was annoying. They also charge 5 dollars per shower and a lot for washing and drying clothes. Didn’t have a view and was super packed with traffic. Wifi was only at the store/ laundry area. Overpriced everything. Not coming back.

New this year is you need reservations. We were late planners, but kept checking back daily and was able to reserve a site 2-3 weeks prior to trip. Dry camping, although some sites have electric. There is potable water, dump stations and bathrooms available. The dump station closer to the I loop appeared more level. Site is a pull through. Because it was on the inner loop they had us drive in the exit so the door would be facing the campsite (basically halt the loop is driving backwards through the one way loops). Picnic table, fire pit, and bear box provided. Lots of trees for shade, but still able to get solar. Moved to site L 233 for our last night. Although it was listed as a 40 foot site it was very difficult to fit our 36 foot RV in the site due to the trees and low hanging branches. Also, there were large rocks along the road in the site that impeded parking. We were able to for, but definitely tight with the slides and branches. Store located in Colter Bay village, well stocked and prices on many items were reasonable. Verizon signal was virtually useless. WiFi available near the store.
