Signal Mountain Campground is run by Signal Mountain Lodge (Forever Resorts) for the National Park Service on Jackson Lake. It suits smaller RVs, vans and trailers whose owners want a lakeside site and Teton views more than space or hookups.
Best for
- Views: the Teton Range rises across Jackson Lake, a short walk from every loop.
- Smaller rigs: vans, campers and trailers under 30 ft fit best.
- Early and late trips: it’s one of the first campgrounds to open and the last to close.
- Convenience: showers, laundry, a store, gas and restaurants are at the lodge next door.
Consider this
- No RVs or trailers over 30 ft.
- Only 24 sites have electric; there are no water or sewer hookups.
- Sites vary a lot in size and slope.
- Snow can linger in May and arrive early in October.
