Nice quiet campground. Did get to see a moose just outside of the camp. Would stay here again

A good place from which to get an early start into the national parks to the north. The staff does a good job of sorting the campers into appropriate loops, as is possible. A loop with mostly big motor homes and generators allowed for certain hours; a loop with smaller units and no generators allowed; a loop with cars and tents; etc. The loop roads are paved. Most sites are level (paved or gravel). There are many shaded sites due to trees. There are freshwater faucets with hose threads on pedestals outside the restroom bldgs. The RV Dump site is just outside of the campground. It is accessible without entering any loops only by blocking park traffic to make a very tight u-turn directly in front of the office. There are two waste inlets in a row (so pull to the forward one if it’s not in use). Both are set just below ground level in a sloped concrete pad, so gravity dumping is easy. The heavy metal caps on the openings don’t flip open very far, so if you have a 90-degree elbow on the end of your waste hose you may not be able to get it under the cap and into the opening. There is one potable freshwater spigot, about 50 forward of the most forward waste inlet. This creates a potential for delays, depending on how many are both dumping and getting freshwater. Uf a very large rig is pulled far forward to dump, no one can get freshwater. If a very long rig is getting freshwater, only the rear waste inlet might be accessible. The road in the entire dump area is only lightly graveled, so any spilled water or wastewater can’t easily drain away or be rinsed away. Take a look at the situation before stepping out of your vehicle, especially if many have recently used the site ahead of you.

Just adding and updating. We're 35' class A. We took #81 on the A loop, so it's farther from the river. I agree with what others have said about the beauty. wildlife has been sparse so far, but hey, they're wild and go where they like. The A loop was recently paved. Very nice, pretty level, dense sage and a few cottonwoods. The A loop has a great view of the mountains, and is sunny with little shade. This is good for us, it's been cold this year, so the heat is welcome. And, we have solar panels, so that's a plus also. Connectivity: Verizon Jetpak varies between 2-3 bars, but has reasonable connection except for the peak evening hours when it can slow to unusable for a secure handshake. USCC is roaming 4G 3 bars. So there is connectivity here at this site. My guess is it's about the same at any of the loops, as the tower must be down by Jackson. This is a good example of a time to have a cellular booster!

Yes, this is an expensive place to stay - but probably the best money in the area. Everything is expensive around here. We did get an electric site for $41 /nite with our America the Beautiful pass (Seniors). Regular rate for electric is $50. A dry site is $30. These sites are electric only and there are no showers in the campground. If you aren't self-contained, you have to travel into Jackson (6 miles away) or the the visitors center of the National Park. So why stay here? We can see the Grand Tetons from our front door. We can walk to the Gros Ventre River about 30 yards behind us. When we got in, there was a moose cow and her calf grazing about 100 yards away from our camper. We are told that yesterday there were Bison in the camping area. We are minutes away from Mormon Row, and Schwabachers Landing isn't much further. It's all about what you're looking for. This is a great spot because you are out in nature, but not far from town. Yes, it is expensive, but we think it's worth it for 5 nights. I'd give it more stars but for the expense.

For this kind of money...you should have a Hot Shower, and a view. You have neither. It's very ugly in my opinion. Crazy crowded. Stay on the 89 on he River, south of Jackson, or get some other NP campground. However, if you goal is to see the Barn in Grand Tetons, then its ok.

Great campground for electric or dry camping. Water available by the office & so is the dump. Toilets but no showers. Wildlife everywhere!! Easy access to Grand Teton Park, Yellowstone, & Jackson. Gorgeous view. Close to river. Super friendly staff. My 2nd visit here

We camped here while visiting Grand Teton National Park. We enjoyed the quiet site close to the Gros Ventre River. We had several wildlife viewing opportunities here, including moose drinking from the near by river. The campground does not have showers, but there is an on-site dumping station and potable water. Would definitely return to camp again.

Great campground. This one is operated by MPS so your Senior Pass discount applies. Many of the others in the area are run by confession so no discount.

Great National Park campground. Staff very helpful & courteous. Our site had plenty of room for our trailer & truck. Saw moose each day in the campground. Restrooms clean. Had the river & Tetons as a backdrop. Dump station & water available too.
