As with Yellowstone National Park, lodging in Grand Teton National Park will be limited to cabins and cottages with their own restrooms.

Things, of course, could change. There are plenty of factors in play, and there are logistical issues in terms of scheduling the opening of the Grand Teton summer 2020 season.
