Grand Teton National Park

Before you go

• Seven park campgrounds offer about 1,000 sites. All sites are reserved in advance, up to six months ahead.
• Car camping or sleeping in vehicles is not allowed in pullouts, parking areas or picnic grounds in the park.
• Teton Park Road is closed in winter between Taggart Lake Trailhead and Signal Mountain Lodge. The main highways stay plowed.

Camping

Sites are reserved through Recreation.gov. RV length limits are 30 feet at Signal Mountain and Lizard Creek, and 45 feet at Gros Ventre, Colter Bay and Headwaters. Maximum stays are seven days at Jenny Lake and 14 days elsewhere, with no more than 30 days a year in the park. Sites have metal bear boxes for food storage. If campgrounds are full, nearby national forests are an option.

Getting around

Teton Park Road is closed from November 1 to April 30 between Taggart Lake Trailhead and Signal Mountain Lodge. Moose-Wilson Road closes from November until mid-May, depending on conditions. US 89/191 and US 26/287 stay plowed year-round between Jackson and Flagg Ranch, but park roads are often icy. Carry tire chains and winter tires in the cold season. Overnight parking is allowed at some trailheads (such as Jenny Lake and Lupine Meadows) only with a backcountry permit.
