Jenny Lake Campground

Jenny Lake Campsite 12 was great for my family of 4 - tent camping. The camp hosts were very understanding when the first night - we arrived and decided to go on to Jackson for a hotel room because of a storm and the temps. We left early the last day because I wasn't feeling well. It was our first time to Jenny Lake. If you want to do the Inspiration Point - Cascade hike and kayak Jenny, String and/or Leigh Lakes - this is a wonderful place to camp. You take a short walk to the Jenny Lake boat shuttle over to the hike (boat starts at 7am) Which means you don't have to fight for a parking spot. Walk over in the morning and you have a much smoother morning and day (and your hike is done before those afternoon storms roll in.) At 2pm when you are chilling - there will be cars everywhere, circling, and parked on the road. It is a quick skip down to the String Lake lot. Get there in the morning. When we were done kayaking for the day around 2pm - stressed people were approaching asking for our spot and very irritated they couldn't just arrive and park.

Site 12 was nice and had a great spot in the back for Hammock and shade. All spots are not created equal and neighbors are very close for many sites. But it is tents only - so no generator noise. There isn't anything uniquely amazing about the sites - but not having to come in to the park every day from Jackson and being central - really makes life easier.

Could not have gotten this site without CampNab because they are few and fill as soon as they are live.

what a beautiful, serene location. Good lunch landing a spot, but if you do hold on to it and enjoy!

The views were incredible! Highly recommend this campground!
