Jenny Lake campground is a scenic beauty in the heart of Grand Teton National Park. It's understandable why it often fills before 8 AM during peak summer periods. It's nestled right at the base of the Tetons, and the camping sites have a colorful, quiet alpine beauty. Jenny Lake campground is also tent only. If you seek a quiet drive-in campground that is only for tents, this is the best spot in Grand Teton National Park.
