About Lizard Creek Campground

Lizard Creek Campground sits on the northern shore of Jackson Lake in Grand Teton National Park, operated by Signal Mountain Lodge. The mid-elevation forest setting offers direct access to boating and fishing for cutthroat trout, with spacious sites that balance proximity to the Teton Range with a quieter, more remote feel than southern park campgrounds. Reviewers consistently praise the cleanliness, lake views, and tranquil atmosphere, though restroom facilities are limited and there are no showers.

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

Elevation6860 ft above sea level

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.

Lodging & AccommodationsNo hotel-style accommodations or lodges are available. This campground strictly offers tent and RV camping.

Programs & ActivitiesNo cultural or educational programs are provided at the campground itself.

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.
