We stayed at Colter Bay CG.
About 10 miles north of Jenny Lake.
I would imagine with the same restrictions.
We had no issues with vehicle length and we had a bike rack about 4' long.
I remember seeing signs that limit the length to 21' but not 100% sure.
Getting a campsite is another story.
If you can get there before 12 noon you should be able to get a tent site (that's what we did) and had no problem.
Anything after 12 noon is pretty much gone.

Also Jenny Lake seems to be a more popular campground.... the bike trail they have is super sweet.

its beautiful country up there !!

I have seen a bunch of recommendations for Jenny Lake campground in Grand Teton. It sounds like it is the best choice if you can get there early enough to get a spot. I checked the GTNP website and it says the maximum allowed vehicle length there is 14'.

Has anyone camped there with a Cruiser? It doesn't seem like they would turn you away.
 
There are a lot of really nice spots in the national forest if you don't want to camp right next to someone. Granted, they don't have facilities, but you also aren't stacked one on top of another.

As stated above, get there early. It is usually best to get a campsite, set up your tent, and then go explore for the rest of the day. Good times, but lots of people...unlike the rest of Wyoming.
