Just outside of Grand Teton National Park, Headwaters Campground at Flagg Ranch has mostly pull-through RV sites along with a few tent sites.
The park service says: “Located in the John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway, just south of Yellowstone National Park’s south boundary and five miles north of Grand Teton National Park. . . . full hook-up RV sites (20 and 50 amp electric), and camper cabins. Services include dump station, showers and laundry.
All RV sites may be reserved. All campsites in the Headwaters Campground can be reserved.

You can not just drive into a vacant campsite and then go looking to see if you can have it for the night, as you might have been able to do elsewhere.
(The most popular Grand Teton National Park campground, Jenny Lake, has filled within minutes each day new reservations are opened up. Lizard Creek has always been one the last campgrounds to fill.)
