The Lizard Creek Campground is located in the northern portion of Grand Teton National Park GTNP and provides a convenient basecamp for campers taking day trips to both Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. This 60-site campground sits on the northern shore of Jackson Lake and offers access to the lake waters and views of the northern Teton Mountain Range. The area is frequented by various park wildlife, large and small as well as a variety of bird species. This Campground is normally one of the last campgrounds to open and first to close for the season in the park and can often see quickly changing weather patterns. The Lizard Creek Campground provides the perfect location for visitors to GTNP looking to avoid the crowds and who dont need more than the basic amenities.

The campground is a popular location for park visitors looking for access to both Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks . Hiking is one of the parks most popular activities. While no hiking trails leave directly from the campground proper, several trails can be found at Colter Bay located 7 miles south, and in Yellowstone located 8 miles north.

Another popular activity at the Lizard Creek Campground is recreating on Jackson Lake. This large alpine lake stretches nearly 7 miles wide and 15 miles long, with a maximum depth of over 400 feet. Water temperatures generally vary from 50-70 degrees during the campgrounds season. The campground provides convenient access for trout fishing and canoe/kayak use. Many campers can be found cooling off on the shores of Jackson Lake. Lizard Creek Campground does not have a boat ramp. Boat ramp access is available at Signal Mountain lodge as well as kayake, canoe and motor boat rentals at the Signal Mountain Lodge marina. In addition, Signal Mountain Lodge offers guided fishing trips on Jackson Lake and scenic float trips on the Snake River, contact the Signal Mountain Lodge front desk for more information.

The campground offers tent camping and pull-in/back-in sites for RVs or trailers up to 25ft. Nearly half of the sites are walk-in tent sites which provide for a more uniquely private and dispersed camping experience than found at other campgrounds in GTNP. The facility is equipped with three conveniently located comfort stations which provide flush toilets and camper sinks. Potable water can be found dispersed regularly throughout the campground. All sites have picnic tables, fire rings and bear-proof food storage boxes. Site parking pads, areas for tents and distance from parking pad to campsites can vary greatly in size.
