About
Gros Ventre Campground, meaning 'big belly' in French, is Grand Teton National Park's largest campground, featuring 279 individual sites, 39 electric hookup sites, and 4 group sites. Surrounded by cottonwood trees and sagebrush, the campground sits along the Gros Ventre River with stunning views of Blacktail Butte and the Teton Mountains. The riverside location provides prime wildlife watching opportunities, as bison, moose, mule deer, and a variety of birds frequently visit the area. All campsites include a picnic table, fire grate, and bear box, with nearby flush toilets and cold running water. The campground accommodates both tent campers and RVs up to 45 feet in length, with some sites offering electric hookups. Two dump stations are available with limited hours. The Gros Ventre River offers excellent fly fishing for cutthroat trout, brook trout, and whitefish, all within walking distance from any campsite. The area offers outstanding recreation opportunities including the 7.3-mile Blacktail Butte Trail with wildflowers and panoramic mountain views, sport climbing on Blacktail Butte's limestone walls, and easy access to iconic sites like Mormon Row. The campground is the closest park campground to Jackson, just 7 miles south, providing convenient access to town amenities while maintaining a tranquil natural setting.
