That is only one of many campgrounds in the Tetons. And Jenny Lake is for
"Tent Only". I applaud the National Park Service for putting aside a
location in this National Park.

When I go camping via tent---I and my family don't want to be around RVs! If
this is an inconvience for you than what do you think it is for tent
campers. Tent camping cannot be set up anywhere for a lot  of reasons. The
Yellowstone/Teton Parks are known for bears. And tent camping is prohibited
in many locations because of this!.

So excuse us "tent" campers for wanting to be away from the comforts of home
so we can enjoy it with others who feel the same way. Go park your Westy at
Signal Mountain, Colter Bay, Gross Ventre, and about 50 plus other lacations
in the Greater Yellowstone/Teton area and stay out of Jenny. Cause we don't
want to hear about your comforts.

When was the last time you were in the Parks? In my opinion RVs should be
banned from Yellowstone/Tetons. They cause a lot of accidents. Many people
rent these massive machines that they have no clue on "how to drive"! There
have been campers hit along side the road because some ignorant fool thinks
they can drive a big rig. They have also contributed to many vehicle
accidents in the park!
