I don’t think I’d come back here. The camp sites are very small and close together with no tree coverage mostly. I felt the driveway for the RV our group brought was very small and strangely shaped. Super long line for the dump station, with the road being too narrow to pull rigs around other rigs to get at the dump station further up. The location is so close to Grand Tetons that it is a good place to wake up and leave but absolutely no reason to relax here.
This campground was different from any other we've camped at. We had site 213, which was on the corridor and had a decent view. Our site was spacious and private, but I can understand that other sites within the loops aren't as private. The entire area is very expensive, especially Jackson WY. The Gros Ventre river hardly has any flowing water. Most people here are RVers. It is peaceful and quiet, a little too peaceful for my liking. The washrooms are pretty outdated, and very few people seem to use them. We had one of the most peaceful tent camping experience here. The night sky is very clear. It is really close to Dornan's for food and activities. Also, they have campground programs every evening that seemed quite interesting! Next time, if there is one, I'm staying in Colter Bay, which is way livelier.
The location is peaceful, not a lot of traffic in this area of the park. I had a rafting trip scheduled west of Jackson, so this campground was the closest to the departure point and convenient to the town of Jackson. The campground is extremely overpriced due to the lack of amenities. There are not enough bathrooms to accommodate all of the surrounding campsites. I was on the back loop and the trail to the bathroom went through the center of a campsite. I felt guilty every time I went, but the occupant didn't seem too upset. There are no showers either, so $63 per night was overkill in my opinion. Hopefully this campground will use the extra revenue from the price increase to upgrade and install additional restrooms. I had really hoped to see wildlife, but didn't. Maybe it was the time of year (first week of August). All of the staff was very friendly and helpful.
Our campsite was in loop A site 64. We had no shade, but a pretty nice view of the mountains. The other loops had more trees and we’re shadier which might make them better choices depending on the time of year. The bathrooms were serviceable and clean. Check-in was really easy and you can stay in your car. The only downside to this campground is the there’s no hiking or walking trails. They have evening programming, too. Overall a good experience of this campground!
Campground was very nice. Bathrooms clean. However the Nazi's running the place were idiots! You had 1 bullet Barney trying to order the spectators around whenever the Moose would come through the campground. It was pretty humorous. Grown people don't need to be told what to do. The lady volunteer was just as bad with the dump station. Oh well the Moose and the scenery were awesome.
