“The best campground in GTNP!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 September 2010
9
people found this review helpful

After all the positive Jenny Lake Campground reviews, we were going to make that our home for a few nights before heading out to the backcountry. When we drove around Jenny Lake Campground, we couldn't understand what all the glowing reviews were about. Only a few sites had Teton views and it looked crowded with small sites.
We took the drive to Lizard Creek and it was the complete opposite. Quiet, well spaced out wooded sites with beautiful views. We were in site 15 which had lake views through the trees and a path that lead down to the lakeshore. Some sites are right on the lake with unobstructed views. The 2 nights we were there in the 3rd week in august the campground was about 75% full. It is a little far from the Jenny Lake area so you have to drive for some of the popular trail heads, but it's worth it to come back to such a relaxing camp!

“Back again”

We returned to Lizard Creek campground on June 20th, 2009,for the second year in a row. Other than a different site, the experiance was as good if not a little better than last year. Coming in three weeks earlier meant a whole lot less people. The camp hosts were even better than the folks last year. Again we camped lakeside. Peace and quiet was abundent. Generators are kept far away from tenters. Never heard them. This has become my campgroung of choice when in the area. Cant wait to get back!

“Terrifiic”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 August 2008

I loved this place. The facilities were clean and functioning (running water, flush toilets, no showers). The campsite was private enough and the staff was friendly.

The views of Lake Jackson from the campground were tremendous, I plan on staying here again.

The only downside was a layer loose dirt on the camp site,

“Best CG in Teton NP”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 August 2007
7
people found this review helpful

This CG is fantastic - a little known gem at the north end of Jackson Lake. My wife and I prefer to camp here and drive into YNP. The place is usually quiet and is much smaller than the other YNP/TNP CG's. The facilities are modern - flush toilets and running water. Full services (showers, laundry, campstore) are <10 minutes away at Colter Bay Village.

The lower loop has a hand full of sites that overlook Jackson Lake - they are worth lurking for. We can fit our 23' RV into these but that is about the limit on length. The upper loop sites are in the forest with good privacy- some have views of the lake. Generators are allowed in the upper loop but not the lower loop. It seems like most campers use Lizard Ck CG as a 1 or 2 day stop over as they come or go from YNP. There is frequent turnover of the premium sites. We start cruising for a waterfront site around 9 or 10 in the morning; if we can't find one we just try again the next day.

The only warning: if the lake level is very low you will have a mudflat view rather than a lake view!
