Jenny Lake Campground

Forested

Grand Teton National Park · Wyoming, USA · 2070 m elevation

Grand Teton's most coveted tent-only campground, a short walk from Jenny Lake beneath the Cathedral Group.

Shade reality: Lodgepole pine forest scattered with glacial boulders at the foot of the Tetons — most sites get good tree shade with sun breaks.

Season: Open May 3 – Sep 26 in 2026; 2027 dates not announced yet. Winter closure Sep 27 – May 2. Official page ↗
