Nothing wrong with the Gros Ventre Campground, which is in Grand Teton Nat’l. Park. However, it does have 300 camping pads. In June and September it isn’t crowded, but the weather can be an issue any place in JH at those times! It is also close to the town of Jackson and of course the attractions within the Park. Teton County is the richest County in the USA based upon per cap income. Thus, there are great restaurants and shops. Expensive, but great!

For a real boondocking experience in Jackson Hole right next to the Park see my post of 2/28/08 about Shadow Mountain. There are countless of other ture boondocking opportunities in Jackson Hole. You have to know where to look and not be concerned about bears, etc..

Further back the Gros Ventre Rd you'll find the Chrystal Creek and the Red Hills Campgrounds. Very nice, but sandwiched between the road and the river. Also, a longer drive back to Grand Teton and Jackson. There are some nice boondocking sites just east of these two.

By the way – coming to Jackson Hole and want to sound like you know what you’re talkin' about? Gros Ventre is pronounced “Grow Vaunt”. Heaven only knows why?!
