Camping in Grand Teton National Park is an excellent experience. Since Grand Teton National Park is only a few miles south of Yellowstone National Park, many of the same wildlife and camping precautions apply. Never keep food in your tent. If enjoying a campfire, use common sense in terms of size and intensity.

Like with other National Park campgrounds, signing up and paying for your site is easy. Simply walk up to the campground entrance registration center, fill out the form, insert your money, tear off your portion of the envelope (receipt) then deposit the envelope in the collection box. You then place your receipt on your campground stake (usually this has your site number and a clip). Some campgrounds in Grand Teton National Park operate on a first come, first serve basis, and some on a reservation system as well. Some of the camgrounds in Grand Teton National Park require you to pay at a front office rather than with a strong box and envelope system before you enter them ( Colter Bay, Signal Mountain, Flagg Ranch, Gros Ventre).Some Grand Teton campgrounds can fill by 9 AM, especially Jenny Lake, which is incredibly popular due to its beauty. Gathering firewood in Grand Teton National Park is permitted as long as it is only dead and downed wood. No chainsaws allowed. Check out time in Grand Teton is 10 AM. Also, pets are prohibited on boardwalks, trails and roads at all times. They must also be kept on leashes no longer than six feet.
