Overall Rating: (on a scale of 1 – 10): 9
Pros: A National Park Campground with first come first serve policy. National Park Campgrounds rarely if ever have any electric/water/sewer hookups. This campground has two dump stations and fresh water across from the office at the front of the campground. For a solar rigged unit this is great. Many of the trees are dead or dying so you will have ample sun...maybe too much some times.
This campground has several loops. I stayed in Loop D which primarily had motorhomes, 5er's, or travel trailers. Tent sites were across the campground in Loop A.
Cons: It is located out away from virtually everything. If you don't want to drive to get places, find another campground. I liked it being out as it was very quiet. Buffalo made people stupid stopping along side the road and walking up to pet the little beast!
Comments: It is located about 5 miles from the main highway into and out of Grand Teton. It is very close to Kelly and the southeast part of the park.
Rate: Maximum stay of 14 days. Rates are based on full paying price, discounts are 1/2 for Golden Age, etc.
