About Signal Mountain Campground
Overview
The Signal Mountain Campground is centrally located inside Grand Teton National Park (GTNP) and provides a convenient basecamp for accessing all the park has to offer. This 80-site campground is located adjacent to Signal Mountain Lodge which provides many amenities you might need for your National Park adventures. The campground sits on the southeast shore of Jackson Lake, and offers easy access to the lake waters and short walks to unparalleled views of the Teton Range. The area is frequented by various park wildlife, large and small, as well as a variety of bird species. The Signal Mountain Campground is normally one of the first campgrounds to open and last to close in the park, and can often have lingering snowpack during the opening weeks after heavy winters and possible early wintery weather at the end of the season. Due to the variability of weather in the Tetons, visitors should come prepared, especially during the months of May and October.

There are many popular activities to be taken advantage of from the Signal Mountain Campground. Hiking is a popular park activity and the campground provides direct access to two of the park’s shorter trails. The lakeshore trail is a 3 mile out-and-back trail following the lakeshore bluff to a popular backcountry campsite and the Signal Mountain Summit trail is a 6-mile loop trail. Both trails provide breathtaking views and opportunities for wildlife viewing. Being centrally located in GTNP, many of the park’s classic hikes are located within 15-20-minute drives including the Jenny Lake area, Lupine Meadows, Cascade Canyon, String Lake, Taggart Lake and Paintbrush Canyon trails to name a few.

Water temperatures generally vary from 50-70 degrees during the campground’s season and is popular for trout fishing, power boats, kayaks and paddle boards. Signal Mountain Marina offers kayak, canoe and motor boat rentals which affords access to the lake for those traveling without their own gear.

Popular spots for swimming are at the boat ramp and picnic areas located at the north and south sides of the campground.
