Hard to beat the amazing experience that is tent camping at Jenny Lake. It's hard to get a site, but wow is it an incredible opportunity when you do! Some sites have views of the mountains, but even the ones that don't are great. Spacious with a designated tent pad, picnic table, fire ring, and bear box. We were able to see mule deer bucks and does on the edge of our site and (on a previous trip) a mama bear and her two cubs wandered through our site. The wildlife is wild. Keep them that way by adhering to the rules about food and dishes. This year's camp hosts are friendly, chatty, and deeply caring about the campground and their work. We enjoyed all of their information and stories when we checked in and noticed the detailed care they take in daily tasks. My only request - install some hooks in the bathrooms to hang bags rather than having to set them on the floor.

This campground is incredible. The hosts were both friendly and professional. The bathrooms were cleaned and well-maintained, as well as the campsites, roads, and trails. Most importantly, it's hard to beat this view. What an experience.

Lovely campground. Beautiful view. But it was raining and cloudy when we camp a night. So we left as we can’t see the Grand Teton in full view sadly!

My favorite campground! The camp host Joe was incredibly helpful and kind! Him and the other staff would make rounds around the campground all throughout the day ensuring safety. Bathrooms and showers are cleaned well. Campgrounds 1-35ish are more woodsy and 40-50 have beautiful views of the mountains. Highly recommend during June!
