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.

One of the quietest campgrounds I’ve ever stayed and I loved it. I hope it stays that way. Tent camped with my Nemo equipment and this was the best night sleep I had my whole trip. The shoreline is a short distance away and makes for a beautiful sunset stroll. We did get some rain during our stay, however, it added to the tranquility of the whole place.

While I was grateful for the opportunity to camp in the park, my site was way too close to others and it felt yucky being so close to others because there was absolutely zero privacy. Other sites were better but overall, this site (22) was not desirable. In addition, I think people would like to know that the site may fit at 23 foot trailer but that seems only possible if you count overhang over the end of the site. Jackson lake was also dry during our stay which was probably something I should have realized was a potential but we booked this site to be close to water so kids could swim and that was not possible in August 26 (lake was low and it was muddy toward the inlet so not really even was able. Hosts were nice, both rooms were clean, proximity to Yellowstone and the rest of GTNP was great.

Insufficient bathrooms for the number of sites. Bathrooms not cleaned well. Sites close together. No dump station. Good location for both Yellowstone and Grand Teton NP.

Nice setting with a decent location between two national parks. Wash rooms and toilets too few with frequent queues and far away from many sites. No lake access which isn’t a fault of the campground but would have been nice. Water spigots don’t allow for filter attachment.

We showed up late, but knew we were in the right spot with our names on the site. Everything was clean and the bear boxes were convenient. We enjoyed our stay.

Great support in this campground from the friendly campground hosts. Regular restroom cleaning and garbage pickup. Overall campground services are top notch!
Fun, constant chatter from the geese on the lake.
Jackson Lake has receded so much that the best kayak launching is from the nearby Leeks Marina.

The camp site was good and no issues. My disappointment comes with the staff of the park. We traveled in on a motorcycle and when asking the staff if they could help in delivering a bundle of wood to our site, we got a rude response of we don't get paid for that. Disappointing when kindness goes a long way.

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.
