Lizard Creek Campground

Lizard Creek Campground offers a serene escape on the shores of Jackson Lake, balancing pristine wilderness with basic comforts in the heart of Grand Teton National Park. This hidden gem provides campers with unparalleled views of the Teton Range, direct lake access, and a chance to immerse themselves in the park's diverse ecosystem. The campground's 60 sites, nestled among lodgepole pines, create an intimate setting that caters to both tent campers and small RVs, though larger rigs should look elsewhere due to the 30-foot length limit.

Located just 11 miles south of Yellowstone's South Entrance, Lizard Creek serves as an ideal base for exploring both national parks. The campground's position on the northern end of Grand Teton National Park affords visitors easy access to hiking trails, fishing spots, and wildlife viewing opportunities. Nearby Signal Mountain Lodge offers boat rentals and guided fishing trips for those looking to venture onto Jackson Lake's expansive waters.

While amenities are basic, including flush toilets, potable water, and bear-proof food storage boxes, the campground's true allure lies in its natural surroundings. Bald eagles and ospreys frequently soar overhead, while mule deer, foxes, and the occasional bear remind campers of the wild nature of this corner of Wyoming. For those seeking a genuine Teton experience away from the crowds, Lizard Creek Campground delivers an authentic, no-frills camping adventure that epitomizes the raw beauty of the American West.
