I know you are planning on going next year but here is a link that may help. Since the drought may still be going on in parts of the West, you may want to keep track of how the wildfires are progressing. A few years ago, when we went through Yellowstone and down to the Grand Tetons, the smoke was so bad that you could not see the mountains and you certainly would not want to stay in any campgrounds that were blanketed with smoke.
We had been through this area before so it was no big deal for us since we just adjusted our journey to include some other areas. I hope this does not become a problem for you next year but fires can become a real problem and there is nothing you can do about it other than to go somewhere else. With this Nationwide map you can add and subtract different layers to get rid of everything but the fires and the rain. Enjoy your trip. Wildfire map
Here is what the Grand Tetons look like when there is a lot of smoke.
