About Lizard Creek Campground

The Lizard Creek Campground is located in the northern portion of Grand Teton National Park (GTNP) and provides a convenient basecamp for campers taking day trips to both Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. This 60-site campground sits on the northern shore of Jackson Lake and offers access to the lake waters and views of the northern Teton Mountain Range. The area is frequented by various park wildlife, large and small as well as a variety of bird species. This Campground is normally one of the last campgrounds to open and first to close for the season in the park and can often see quickly changing weather patterns. The Lizard Creek Campground provides the perfect location for visitors to GTNP looking to avoid the crowds and who don’t need more than the basic amenities.

Nice campsite with room for tent. Amenities close by (water source and restroom). This is our second time at this campground. The available parking for the site was pretty short and took some maneuvering to get our truck and boat safely off the road. Campground hosts were present, but could be more attentive to potential bear issues (neighboring campsite left food and camp stove out all night for several nights in a row, host zoomed by on cart and didn't notice/say anything).

Walk in tent sites were well situated. Restrooms could have been cleaner and better maintained.

Camp hosts when we checked in were absolutely fantastic! They had some pretty sweet pups too! (Which abided by the park rules may I add.)

Large sites, close to the lake, quiet and clean sites. We enjoyed harvesting (within park limits/laws) our own firewood. 100% would recommend!!

Lizard Creek campground is very nice. It is far from the hustle & crowds of places like Jenny Lake so it is quiet. But that also means it is farther to drive to get to trailheads. Easy access if you want to drive to Yellowstone for a day. Many sites have decent shade. Please camp responsibly. On two evening walks through the campground I saw unattended campfires because the people decided to go down to the lake.

We stayed at Tent Site 16 for 3 days.
Pros:
Jackson lake is a minute walk from the site. You have a lot of room to setup a few tents and other equipment. Lots of daytime shade. The restrooms were a 3 minute walk, while the dumpster and water faucet was a 2 minute walk

Cons:
There’s some privacy, but not much. The ground you set your tent on can get muddy (it rained on us, so bring a tarp). Cellular reception is only good for large carriers like AT&T or Verizon. Some in our group had metropcs and resulted in zero reception.

Who doesn’t enjoy a flush toilet? Most camp sites I go to our not. It was close to the action but not nearly as busy as other camp sites which I love. The walk was not bad at all from car to site.

Lizard Creek CG is beautiful and peaceful, the hosts were such a sweet, helpful, friendly couple. The bathrooms and communal sink are clean and bear safe. Our site was lovely. Walking down to the lake in the morning was so beautiful- watching different types of birds & feeling the wind and cool morning air and warm sun.

General

  • The maximum stay permitted at Lizard Creek Campground is 14 nights, and the maximum cumulative stay between all park campgrounds is 30 nights.  A maximum of 2 campsites can be reserved per customer per night.  A maximum sliding window of up to 7 days can be reserved beyond the 6 month rolling window.  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. In these instances, campers must reserve a "Double Driveway" parking spot or a driveway wide enough to accommodate both the trailer and the vehicle. 
  • Generators are permitted, in the first loop only (sites 48-63) between the hours of 8a.m. and 8p.m. and cannot be left unattended.
  • Maximum one vehicle per site.
  • Maximum two tents per site.  
  • Maximum of six occupants per site. This rule is strictly enforced, as we are a smaller campground. If you desire to book a campsite that will accommodate larger groups or gatherings of more than 6 people, please explore options at other campgrounds in the area. 
  • 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.
  • Only dead and downed wood may be collected. Chainsaws are prohibited.
  • 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.
  • All sites must be left in a clean and welcoming state for the incoming campers with all fires dead out and fire rings free of bear attractants.
  • Roadways are narrow at this campground and backing into certain sites can be difficult. Please look at the pictures provided and read all warnings and need to know info about your site.
