For Gros Ventre Campground - Grand Teton National Park: Spent 2 weeks here. We lucked out and were assigned a very nice, big site for our 38' Class A back towards the river. Large dump station with potable water - very nice! This CG is all FF only - which we prefer over Reserve CGs because we have witnessed so much abuse of reservable CGs where the majority of reserved sites are never used!! Apparently there are many with more $$ than human decency who reserve these sites well in advance and then do not bother to show up. They may lose the cost of a few nites camping - but they have taken up sites that were much needed by others. There needs to be some severe penalties placed on people who do that. But back to this CG - All FF only - BUT you cannot pick your site - they are assigned to you randomly. During the busy season you have to arrive early AM (<8AM), wait in line until you reach the CG Hosts to check you in. (Hosts were ALL very friendly and tried to be as helpful as possible) You tell them what you need for camping (rig size, electric Y/N, generator/no generator site, etc.) and they will assign the next available - which show up literally as people are leaving. So it's "like a box of chocolates" - you just do not know what you will get. This is very large CG with a huge variety of site sizes. It has ALL been nicely paved in the last year so no dust or potholes. BUT! Whoever designed the site layout in this park was obviously NOT a camper or RVer. The sites range in size from barely able to park a compact car (literally) to easily hold a 45'er. But since they went to all the trouble of paving all sites why didn't they make them all as large as possible? There is plenty of land there - sites are well separated from each other, and in that way they would be much better at accommodating the size needs of all types of campers & RVers. Also - there is a long access road which connects all the loops (7 in all). To the NE of the main entrance road they have also placed many sites - many VERY small & tight - right off of this road!! Again - VERY BAD design as people there gets lots of traffic going by at all hours. Do not accept one of those sites. Finally - good news! They do have overflow parking for self-contained RVs in the large Amphitheater loop. So if all sites booked up you can go in there for 1 nite - but only if you request it! They do not seem to readily share this tidbit of information. As I said we lucked out in getting assigned a great site and had a great stay for 2 weeks. Got to know some of the hosts - GREAT hosts! As an aside - the N.P. service is missing a major $$ making opportunity here. One of the south loops is set up for N.P. employees only. That means a lot of huge concrete pad sites with FULL hookups! Full! BUT - most were empty! I counted 17 full hookup sites on virtually brand news concrete slabs that were empty. I understand why they would build those to provide on-season spaces for park employees - a very nice and needed amenity to attract employees there. But - at the same time they had so many empty ones which they could have easily rented out for at least $50-75/nite to RVers needing a place to stay for a few nites. They could have easily gotten those fees from RVers needing full hookups. Finally - lots of options for ten campers - especially in the SW loops. Overall a nice N.P. CG that we loved. Just be sure you get a decent site. not on the main connecting road.

For Gros Ventre Campground - Grand Teton National Park: Initial impression was one of an overgrown CG. But really it’s the natural vegetation. Clean rest rooms. CG filled but luckily they directed me to their overflow CG the camp host went out of thier way to help. I got in line at 630 am the next morning to get a spot ( and I was 2nd). No reservations so if you are looking for a spot get there before 7am.

For Gros Ventre Campground - Grand Teton National Park: Nice quiet campground. Did get to see a moose just outside of the camp. Would stay here again

For Gros Ventre Campground - Grand Teton National Park: A good place from which to get an early start into the national parks to the north. The staff does a good job of sorting the campers into appropriate loops, as is possible. A loop with mostly big motor homes and generators allowed for certain hours; a loop with smaller units and no generators allowed; a loop with cars and tents; etc. The loop roads are paved. Most sites are level (paved or gravel). There are many shaded sites due to trees. There are freshwater faucets with hose threads on pedestals outside the restroom bldgs. The RV Dump site is just outside of the campground. It is accessible without entering any loops only by blocking park traffic to make a very tight u-turn directly in front of the office. There are two waste inlets in a row (so pull to the forward one if it’s not in use). Both are set just below ground level in a sloped concrete pad, so gravity dumping is easy. The heavy metal caps on the openings don’t flip open very far, so if you have a 90-degree elbow on the end of your waste hose you may not be able to get it under the cap and into the opening. There is one potable freshwater spigot, about 50 forward of the most forward waste inlet. This creates a potential for delays, depending on how many are both dumping and getting freshwater. Uf a very large rig is pulled far forward to dump, no one can get freshwater. If a very long rig is getting freshwater, only the rear waste inlet might be accessible. The road in the entire dump area is only lightly graveled, so any spilled water or wastewater can’t easily drain away or be rinsed away. Take a look at the situation before stepping out of your vehicle, especially if many have recently used the site ahead of you.

For Gros Ventre Campground - Grand Teton National Park: Just adding and updating. We're 35' class A. We took #81 on the A loop, so it's farther from the river. I agree with what others have said about the beauty. wildlife has been sparse so far, but hey, they're wild and go where they like. The A loop was recently paved. Very nice, pretty level, dense sage and a few cottonwoods. The A loop has a great view of the mountains, and is sunny with little shade. This is good for us, it's been cold this year, so the heat is welcome. And, we have solar panels, so that's a plus also. Connectivity: Verizon Jetpak varies between 2-3 bars, but has reasonable connection except for the peak evening hours when it can slow to unusable for a secure handshake. USCC is roaming 4G 3 bars. So there is connectivity here at this site. My guess is it's about the same at any of the loops, as the tower must be down by Jackson. This is a good example of a time to have a cellular booster!

For Gros Ventre Campground - Grand Teton National Park: Yes, this is an expensive place to stay - but probably the best money in the area. Everything is expensive around here. We did get an electric site for $41 /nite with our America the Beautiful pass (Seniors). Regular rate for electric is $50. A dry site is $30. These sites are electric only and there are no showers in the campground. If you aren't self-contained, you have to travel into Jackson (6 miles away) or the the visitors center of the National Park. So why stay here? We can see the Grand Tetons from our front door. We can walk to the Gros Ventre River about 30 yards behind us. When we got in, there was a moose cow and her calf grazing about 100 yards away from our camper. We are told that yesterday there were Bison in the camping area. We are minutes away from Mormon Row, and Schwabachers Landing isn't much further. It's all about what you're looking for. This is a great spot because you are out in nature, but not far from town. Yes, it is expensive, but we think it's worth it for 5 nights. I'd give it more stars but for the expense.

For Gros Ventre Campground - Grand Teton National Park: For this kind of money...you should have a Hot Shower, and a view. You have neither. It's very ugly in my opinion. Crazy crowded. Stay on the 89 on he River, south of Jackson, or get some other NP campground. However, if you goal is to see the Barn in Grand Tetons, then its ok.
