Jenny Lake Campground in Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming is ready to welcome back guests after a series of renovations aimed at improving safety, accessibility and visitor experience.
The upgrades, completed this summer, include the installation of 13 accessible water spigots and new water lines, along with 48 elevated bear-resistant food storage boxes supported by the Grand Teton Foundation.
“We’ve wrapped up a series of renovations designed to make the camping experience safer, more accessible, and more enjoyable. The park and @grandtetonlodgeco are excited to welcome visitors back to a refreshed Jenny Lake Campground!” Grand Teton National Park said in a Facebook post.
In addition to the new utilities, the campground has widened pavement in key areas and added a short bicycle route connector lane. The change is intended to reduce potential conflicts between vehicles and cyclists.
Road repairs and fresh paving were also carried out.
Reflective campsite number signs were added to make it easier for campers to locate their sites after dark.
The enhancements are designed to increase both safety and convenience for the thousands of visitors who stay at Jenny Lake Campground each year.
According to its website, Jenny Lake Campground, located a few hundred yards from the east shore of Jenny Lake, sits atop a glacial moraine surrounded by an open forest of lodgepole pine, subalpine fir and Douglas fir, with views across the lake of Teewinot Mountain, Cascade Canyon and Mount St. John.
The campground prohibits trailers, campers and generators, and limits vehicles to no more than 8 feet in height and 14 feet in length.
Each site accommodates a maximum of two tents, one vehicle and six guests for stays of up to seven nights.
Grand Teton National Park also features more than 250 miles of hiking trails, offering a wide range of options from brief walks to extended backcountry adventures.
