About Lizard Creek Campground

Lizard Creek Campground sits on Fonda Point in the northern section of Grand Teton National Park, about 8 miles from the Yellowstone boundary. The 60-site campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis at $49-51 per night, with nearly half the sites designated as walk-in tent sites. Lodgepole pine and spruce frame views of the northern Teton Range across Jackson Lake.

Lizard Creek Campground offers rustic camping options including tent sites and pull-in/back-in sites for RVs or trailers.

Weather and SeasonsSummer brings the most reliable weather and full campground services. Daytime temperatures typically run mid-60s to low-80s°F, with nights dropping into the 30s and 40s. Afternoon thunderstorms are common. Jackson Lake warms enough for swimming by mid-summer, though some recent visitors mention low water levels. June and September require extra layers for frost and cold mornings. The campground closes in winter under heavy snow.

ElevationPerched gracefully above the shimmering expanse of Jackson Lake, the campground's elevated position rewards visitors with breathtaking panoramic vistas of the northern Teton peaks. This gentle rise above the water creates the perfect natural amphitheater for witnessing alpenglow sunrises and spectacular mountain sunsets.

Natural Features and SceneryThe campground occupies a forested peninsula on Jackson Lake at 6,860 feet elevation. Dense stands of lodgepole pine and spruce provide shade and partial screening between sites. The northern Teton Range rises directly across the water, its granite peaks shaped by glacial activity. Black bears, mule deer, and bald eagles frequent the area. Campers walk a short distance through the trees to reach the lakeshore, where the water reflects the mountains on calm mornings. The setting is quieter and less dramatic than the park's southern campgrounds, but the proximity to both Grand Teton and Yellowstone makes it popular in July and August.

Geological RegionNestled on the scenic Fonda Point within Grand Teton National Park, this remarkable campground occupies a privileged position where ancient geological forces have created a natural balcony overlooking Jackson Lake. The surrounding landscape tells a story written in stone and ice, where dense forests of lodgepole pine and spruce frame sweeping panoramas of the northern Teton Range's dramatic peaks, carved by glaciers and time into one of North America's most spectacular mountain vistas.

Forest Service Road 30504, Bridger-Teton National Forest, Wyoming

Sheffield Campground sits in the northeast corner of Bridger-Teton National Forest, 11 sites scattered along the John D. Rockefeller Parkway near Moran. At 6,831 feet, it puts you close to Teton Wilderness trailheads and the Snake River. Sites run $13 per night and come with bear lockers, fire rings, and vault toilets. The narrow access road and occasional creek crossings make this better suited for tents and small trailers than large RVs.
