Note: This question is NOT for me and the rig listed in my signature. It is for my parents who will be traveling in an 18' camper van.
My parents decided to take a last minute trip through WY, UT and CO here in a couple weeks in an 18' camper van. They've gotten reservations everywhere for their trip but at the Grand Tetons. They are looking to be there a Tuesday-Thursday. What is their chances of getting one of the first come first serve campgrounds there such as Gros Ventre or Jenny Lake? They do not necessarily need hookups and I would assume could fit even in a tent site due to the small size of their van.
I'd hate for them to get there and be stuck with no place to park. As a planner, this whole trip of theirs is giving me anxiety :-D
If they don't need hookups, there are some BLM/USFS/ACOE free places near GTNP that might work for them. Try looking at freecampsites.net or Campendium. I don't recall exactly where they are, but they've been mentioned elswhere before.
