Headwaters Lodge & Cabins at Flagg Ranch

I had made a reservation for a tent site here months in advance of our vacation to Grand Teton, but upon arrival, decided it was too rundown and there were too many RV’s for us. So we decided to forfeit our deposit (per the reservation contract) and got a big, beautiful tent site next to the lake at Signal Mountain. You can imagine my surprise when I discovered a $ 338 charge on my credit card from Flagg Ranch. When I called to ask, they said they put a hold on the card for $ 50 per person per night of the stay. A $ 300 deposit on 35 a night tent site?!! You’ve got to be kidding me. Anyway, they said the charge would drop off in 24 hours but four days later it’s still there. And they can’t seem to figure out how to void the charge. I will NEVER allow these people access to my credit card again.

VERY expensive and not worth it especially since your camping right on top of your neighbor! Not my cup of tea when you want to be in the wilderness! It is not larger camper friendly either. We have 29 ft tow behind and it was tight! We booked 4 nights and ended up moving to a spot into the park after 2 nights which was much cheaper and better facility! Bugs were horrid too! I will not stay there again! Only good thing was they had a decent laundry facility.

Love love love this place. I stayed in the cabin suites. It looks like a cabin in the outside. But on the inside it’s exactly like a hotel room. There’s shampoo conditioner lotion soap and body wash dispensers. Which I love because it’s eco friendly (as oppose to like little bottles).
The only thing is the heater in our room didn’t seem to work. But there were extra blankets. So it was alright.
In the dining hall there’s bison burgers and elk pot pies. Which were pretty good. It was definitely an interesting experience.

If there was a lower rating I would leave it. They didn’t see our reservation so when we arrived, our cabin wasn’t available. Their alternative? Send us thirty minutes back the way we came to Jackson Lake Lodge, owned by the same company. Downgrade!!!
We thought we’d make the best of it, as we had no other option, but even I can’t be positive about bugs in the room and lights that work only when they want to. I guess reservations aren’t what they used to be!
I do not recommend.

We got a small wooden cabin. In my opinion, it was overpriced, but I was very impressed with the bathrooms that were heated, had the choice of paper towel/​air dryer and had nice showers. Also the staff was great. They charged our camera batteries for us. When we came back late they placed it in the room for us. I wish they sold detergent in the laundromat.

We stayed in a camper cabin for two nights. Location is great. 2 miles from the south entrance of yellowstone and just north of the grand Tetons NP. cabin was basic. Would have been nice if there were a few clothes hooks and shelves so u don’t have to put your stuff on dirty floor. Camp ground facilities were not great. Showers and restrooms were scary. Road was dirt which caused a lot of dust everywhere. What the campground lacked the main lodge made up for it. The small restaurant was great. Staff was attentive, food was great. Don’t count on wifi here. Something about bandwidth. Would stay here again. Please just update campground showers.

My husband and I just spent 4 nights in the campground in our 18′ trailer. We really enjoyed it, very rustic with tents and RVs mixed together which is my preference. Feels like real camping even with a trailer. Fire pit and full hookups in our site with easy access to Yellowstone and Grand Teton. We utilized the Flagg Ranch Resort for WiFi (SLOW and spotty but hey, this is the wilderness!), grocery store, gift shop and the front desk staff assisted us with signing up for a breakfast cruise to Elk Island (highly recommended). Pricey for a campground but considering the location, well worth it. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

We stayed in a camper cabin, which was pretty much what I expected: a simple, no frills place to stay. We would have been happy except for the bathroom facilities. I wasn’t expecting much. We’ve done these kinds of places before. But, I was expecting at least a reasonable level of clean and functional. The camp bathrooms were neither. They were plain scary. As a result, we ended up using the lodge’s lobby bathroom.
Unless you come in an RV with your own bathroom or plan to stay at the lodge, I would recommend avoiding this place. (The tent campers, who were situated in spaces between RVs, had it much worse than us.)
I would also avoid eating at the lodge. We had made other plans to eat at the chuck wagon down the road, but weren’t hungry when we got to that place so we figured how bad can it be? It was that bad — way too expensive, bland and heavy with fat (which made the bathrooms a real issue).
All in all a disappointment. We ended up leaving at 4am after one night’s less than restful stay. Silver lining: seeing Old Faithful at dawn.

Stayed in one of the King cabins. It was very clean and roomy. The staff was very friendly. The cabin area is kept in a way that makes you still feel like you’re in a park, rather than in a developed area. It is rather expensive, but on par with everything else in the area. If I were to return to Yellowstone, I would definitely consider staying here.

If you are looking for a place to stay that is a reasonable price, nice and convenient to either go south to the Tetons or north to Yellowstone, this is the place. You have four choices here, the lodge, furnished cabins like a motel room, a small one room cabin with nothing furnished or a campground. We chose the motel room cabin. These are refurbished cabins that are immaculate with either a king or two doubles. You can also get one for a higher price with a frig and a microwave. The cabin was spacious, with a king bed, chairs and table, coffee pot, nite stand and a dresser. You can opt out of maid service and save $ 5 a night. We were there for three nights and it worked just fine. If you need anything like more coffee or towels you just call the front desk and they will bring them to you. The only disappointment was the wifi service. It’s only available in the lodge and if you can get it, is horrible. Worst than dialup. They have a restaurant with good food and a convenient store with gas. We’ve been to the parks many times and have stayed at most of the Lodges which are all nice but, in my opinion this was the most convenient.

Just two miles away from South Gate Yellowstone and a couple of miles away from Jenny Lake
Staff is great– very friendly service
Hot water was an issue– after about three minutes water became lukewarm
There were a lot of mosquitoes in the room but staff sprayed while we went out to dinner and it wasn’t an issue anymore
Gas station conveniently located within the grounds
No A/​C but not a problem as nights are a little chilly
No wi-​fi except for the main lodge
Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash provided
Mini-​fridge available

Staff was awesome, great little store. Excellent camping area. Only complaint is that they hadn’t gotten their shipment of firewood. Great location, new shower areas, great stay.

Let me first start by saying that this review is for the rv park. The reason I’m giving this review is I don’t believe that this place should advertise as an rv park at all. We travel in a 45 foot rv with 4 slides and though this place claims they are big rig friendly they are far from it. Very little room too maneuver and very small pull through sites made us leave as soon a we arrived. The area is covered in trees (good for tent camping) which would’ve made it impossible for us to put our slides out, another complaint I have is there is zero cell service here which is nice if you are looking to go completely off the grid. I would only recommend this place to tent campers/​small rv owners who do not want any form of connection to the outside world.

This location can’t be beat with great access to GTNP’s Jenny and Jackson Lakes, Grand Teton Hiking and climbing and Yellowstone’s South Gate is two miles away. The cabins are nice, basic rooms. Ours was clean and well-​kept. The housekeeping staff was fantastic. The rooms are not air-​conditioned, but the weather was perfect (mid-​August stay) and the nights downright chilly. Our bed was extremely comfortable. Provided in the room is a microwave and a small fridge, but there is not an easy way to fill drinking bottles in the room. The faucets are too short (I find filling water bottles from bathroom sinks distasteful anyway). We had our bottles filled in the restaurant when our 2.5 gallon jug went empty. (The store sells water by the gallon, but they were always sold out.)
The grounds are rustic… just the way they should be. When you walk out your door, you are IN the park. Hurray for no manicured lawns or gardens. It is very much like «camping», but no worries over the vulnerability of a tent in the setting of bear territory. The small back «porch» with rockers was perfect for watching the chattering squirrels, the sunsets and the Perseid meteor showers.
Our only complaint: the food service leaves a LOT to be desired. I understand that the location is remote and the supplies may not arrive on time, but the number of guests the park sees every year never gets smaller. They know heavier crowds are going to appear in the late summer, it seems predicting needs should be something the park is good at, but it was as if they were caught by surprise. Many items on the menu were not available for several days at a time. It was not uncommon to go to breakfast at 8:30 to 9am and be told what you ordered would take 45 minutes (biscuits and gravy) to prepare. They will not make a sandwich for you to take hiking either (I requested peanut butter and jelly). The waitstaff stated they do not sell to-​go meals. Strange. The food that was available was pretty good. One tip: the older waitstaff had a real can-​do attitude whereas the younger staff just seemed to take «no» from th kitchen as a final answer.
Would I stay herrer again? Yes. I would come prepared with a good amount of food so I could pack lunches since we like to hike in less used areas and occasionally make breakfast, and bring a few gallons of drinking water.
