Visitors to Grand Teton National Park and the John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway will be able to reserve campsites at all park campgrounds on Recreation.gov as the park’s remaining campgrounds transition to the website for the 2022 summer season.
The change is the result of a collaboration between the National Park Service (NPS), Grand Teton Lodge Company, Signal Mountain Lodge, and Recreation.gov. A portion of the parks’ campgrounds moved onto the platform for the 2021 summer season.
Recreation.gov offers reservations at more than 3,600 facilities and 103,000 individual sites across the U.S. The Colter Bay RV Park and Tent Village, as well as Headwaters Campground and RV Park, which were previously reservable through Grand Teton Lodge Co., are moving to Recreation.gov.
These locations, along with Colter Bay, Gros Ventre, Jenny Lake, Lizard Creek and Signal Mountain Campgrounds, will be available for booking on a six-month rolling basis. Park campgrounds no longer will be reservable through local campground call centers or websites.
The introduction of a reservation system at busy park campgrounds in 2021 was deemed a success, NPS stated, improving the visitor experience by streamlining the camping process, significantly shortening lines and reducing wait times and alleviating associated traffic congestion.
Campgrounds in Grand Teton National Park and John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway are operated by concessioners.
