Nice sites great views to wake up too.
We spent two nights at Jenny lake campground. The campsite was very private, big, and with a partial view of the Tetons. We got there at 6 a.m. in order to get a campsite (it was a busy weekend because of the eclipse). Staff was helpful. Good bathrooms with flushable toilets. No showers or dishwashing station. The place where we could set up the tent was slightly inclined. Reasonable price. We would definitely stay there again!
Used to love Jenny Lake campground, this time around it was incredibly busy and we couldn't even get near the park let alone camp. Regarding the camping, its very poorly situated and each plot is tiny. People have totally overwhelmed this site and the rangers do very poorly in keeping information up to date, so whilst we arrived from 1100 miles away and got there at the time suggested we stood no chance in getting a site. The booking of this camp is a little crazy. You are allowed to keep a chair in the site and claim it, a paper plate with "we still want it" was on another option and others just had their registration sticker and nothing else in the site and it was up to the new camper to find an empty site and claim it - this made for a free-for-all where people where grabbing whatever they could and it just made it that much harder to reserve as a drive in. What bothered me was using this very lazy system allowed people to leave and not come back and the site would be left vacant.
Lots of sites are in the dark woods, with zero views. You can get lucky and get a more open site with views of Grand Teton. The toilets are substandard. Camp sites are small, and the place has a crowded feel. There is a lot of traffic through the campground due to people looking for sites.
This place is magic, paradise on earth. When you arrive you must look for one of the more than 40 spaces that have to camp, you go to the entrance again and you register leaving with the sheet that there have your data and the money to pay for the nights that camping.
It's Teton national park's most popular campground for a reason. Jenny lake is stunning and only a 10 minute walk from your site.
We didn't think it would be possible to get a spot here around 4th of July, but we got probably the last spot. Great mountain view and a short walk to the lake for the boat ride over to the trail up to Inspiration Point and beyond. A highlight of the summer.
A MUST FOR TENT CAMPERS. I was lucky! I got a great spot and stayed for 6 nights. It was amazing! Perfect location for hiking, biking, or just relaxing by the lake. TIP: don't troll through the campground at silly'o clock am and ask campers if they are leaving. See the host first (whom are really nice folks) and understand the system before you pick a spot. This is BEAR country - you must hear the bear orientation from the host and keep all food locked up in either the ample bear boxes or your vehicle. It's an investment towards having a good time. I had a fabulous time and will be back for sure! No showers, but there are nice showers down the road at Colter Bay for cheap. The campground has running water near most sites and flush toilets as well as sinks.
A solid camp ground with many sites. It is quite busy. No showers. Proximity to trails is excellent for day hiking the Tetons or as a launch point for the crest trail (though I would recommend taking the tram)
Unbelievable hidden gem. Jenny Lake is a fantastic spot to camp. The campgrounds are nice and the view and hiking is lovely. I spent a few days here and highly recommend it to anyone I talk to that heading that way.
Lots of options for things to do around the lake. Get there early to get a good camping spot. There's some expensive lodges semi near by but the camping here is much better.
