The camp operated as a park concessioner after the establishment of Jackson Hole National Monument in 1943. In 1977 the camp was operated as part of Signal Mountain Lodge and most remaining buildings were removed.[2][3] A 1998 fire destroyed the main lodge, leaving only the chimney standing.[4] The Park Service-operated Leek's Marina is located at the site.
Leek's Lodge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 5, 1975.[1] It was removed from the National Register on April 15, 2014.[5]
