We loved the location and quiet, mellow experience at Lizard Creek. We stayed 4 nights and tried to see both parks from there. It was possible, but 6-8 nights would’ve been better. A moonlight paddle and listening to the sandhill cranes were highlights from the campsite itself. The water spigot near us sprayed out, so we got water at the store by Colter Bay.

Great setting, no humongous trailers, convenient shuttle stop, nice creek to take a cold plunge after hiking.

This campground is at the north entrance to Tetons and it was really nicely situated. The spots were decent size but all middle spots back up to one another with little privacy. The restrooms were clean and having a cleaning sink and bear box was super helpful

Lizard Creek is situated near the northern edge of the Grand Tetons, which makes it convenient for those wanting to tour both Yellowstone and the Tetons. As a smaller campground, it is much less crowded and much quieter than the larger campgrounds in the part. However, you "pay" for this quieter stay with smaller bathrooms with no showers. In my opinion, it's still worth it!

Great campground on the lake. A bit pricy. Some grizzly bear activity during the day and some black bear activity at night just to make the experience all the more exhilarating. But the camp host was vigilant.

Great campground! We had one of the walk-in sites - it was very spacious and felt private from our neighbors. Camp hosts were helpful and friendly, and they sell ice and firewood if you need it. Quiet and peaceful, although as others have said, you will need to drive to get to main hikes/attractions in the park.

What a peaceful campsite! It was a bit back from the road and had a path that led down to the water. Not really beach access but you could enter the water from there if you are adventurous. The substantial beach access was further up the road, about a 3 minute walk from this site. There was not a lot of shade at this site during the day (in late July) but morning and evening time was just right. Our tent is about 8X10 and it fit well here with room to use the fire ring safely. It was a bit of a walk to the restroom from this site but doable. Overall, lovely site while enjoying GTNP.

A very peaceful campground away from the crowded village campgrounds. Be aware that these campsites are only for smaller size trailers. Lots of mosquitoes, flies, yellow jackets during our stay. Perfect location to hike and view wildlife at both Teton and Yellowstone national parks. Nice walk around the campground down to a lake. Would stay here again.

We stayed at site 10 and really enjoyed everything about it. The bear box was quite large (accommodated 55qt cooler, 2g water jusg, various other grocery bags) and could have fit more than we stored in it. The restrooms have flush toilets and running water sinks. They were cleaned and stocked regularly. There is an inlet to Jackson lake for fishing/paddle boats at the campground. The closest stores are in Colter Bay (S) and Flagg Ranch (N). Yellowstone N.P. and Jackson, WY are each about an hour away. Everything in Jackson in pricey. We went the third week in June. At night it got into the twenties and snowed. During the day, the weather was 60+ and great. Pics are included in my google review for Lizard Creek.

Day of reservations are allowed at this campsite through recreation.gov, but not on a first-come, first-served basis at the campground itself. Discounts must be applied at time of securing reservation.
- This is bear country! Food and bear attractants must not be left unattended at any time (ie, coolers, trash, beverage containers, cooking utensils, health and beauty aids, etc.). All food or attractants must be stored in a hard-sided vehicle or in your site’s provided bear-proof storage box when not being consumed or prepared.
- Camping accomodations are pet friendly. However, pets cannot be left unattended and are always required to be under control, and on a six-foot leash. Dog runners and pens are not allowed. All pet food and bowls must be treated as a bear attractant and must be properly stored and cannot be left unattended. Please review Campground & National Park Pet Regulations. https://www.nps.gov/grte/planyourvisit/pets.htm
- The maximum length for a trailer or RV is 25 feet. Parking dimensions vary widely at this campground, please take care when making reservations, to ensure that the site you are reserving will accomodate your equipment. Parking is allowed only in designated parking areas or site pads. Moving barrier logs is prohibited. All vehicles must fit completely on parking pads. Vehicles protruding into roadway will not be accepted. If travelling with a trailer or 5th wheel and the combined length of the towing vehicle and trailer/5th wheel is greater than the length of the driveway, the trailer/5th wheel will have to be diconnected in order to fit in the campsite.

- Water Hookup Fee: The Utility fee is imposed on all lodging and camping products to defer the higher cost of providing water and sewer in the remote locations in which we operate. The amount of this fee is determined by taking the difference in the cost of providing these services less the comparable cost of similar services in local areas. This fee is reviewed annually and approved by the National Park Service.
- Fires may not be left unattended and must be contained within the provided fire ring. Fires may be prohibited based upon local restrictions during seasons with elevated fire danger.
