    Colter Bay RV Park at Colter Bay Village — Grand Teton National Park

    The Happy Ending

    Colter Bay Village has a few options for setting up temporary residence: first-come, first-serve campground, reservable tent-cabins and tents, an RV park, and maybe a lodge. When arriving at Colter Bay, the campground is to the right and the cabins and tent cabins are both to the left. They are operated separately; the cabins and tent-cabins are operated by the Grand Teton Lodge Company. The tent cabins and the actual cabins each have different check-in areas (a driver will pass the cabins first and the take another left to go up the hill to the tent cabins). From the cabins, there is a short walk to Jackson lake, the village with the market, laundromat, showers, and wifi, the evening ranger talks, the boat ramps, and the visitor center. The ranger talks in the evening were really marvelous.

    Before arriving, we had travelled 7,000 miles across the country, tent camping the entire way. We planned to tent camp in the Tetons too, but to our dismay, we discovered that there are no practical, reservable car-camping sites, and I wasn't willing to risk first-come, first-serve as an option (good thing, because that campground was full by 9). So we reserved a tent-cabin and looked forward to a new experience. It was so wonderful that we are going back this summer.

    What is a tent-cabin? It is a structure that has two log walls and two canvas walls, a canvas roof, and a little, tiny wood stove. There is an electrical light, but I don't think there are any plugs. There is a covered picnic area outside the door and a bear box for each site, along with the picnic table and fire ring. There are four beds (two bunks on each log wall), and campers will need to bring their own everything except for the bed and tent. There are flushing toilets close by, and a dishwashing sink. We had a perimeter cabin, as seen in the video.

    Colter Bay Village has restaurants, a lovely and well supplied market, a laundromat and pay showers. The laundromat/shower facility has wifi which extends out as far as the gift shop and market.

    The five stars is something I reserve for only our most beloved places in this world. Why we love Colter Bay: the atmosphere is just so easy going and undemanding, the people are relaxed. The landscape is breathtaking--like the water temperature of Colter Bay. The wildlife was incredible. We saw a grizzly, and a moose with her calf, among other creatures. Maybe the presence of Colter Bay was simply a release from the tension of Yellowstone, which was beautiful, but crowded, and people seemed a little edgy after being in lines, sulphur, and the very hot sun all day. But really, I believe that Colter Bay has a truly peaceful serenity that soothes the soul and is as simple and clear as the waters of Jackson lake, and as warm and smooth as the rocks that line the shore.

    Teton Peaks Resort

    MOST hospitable place we've ever been!!

    We stayed the first night in the glamping tent 'Eagles rest.' We were thankful for the space heater that was in there (Stayed here May 17/2025) it got down to just above freezing that night. It was SO COZY though!! There were lots of blankets, free drinks upon arrival and free coffee at an adorable upscale coffee hut on property. The bathhouse was very clean, with a fun games room and washers and dryers. We hiked close by the next day, ate in town, loved it so much we booked in last minute again cause we didn't want to leave. The manager Biz put us in a king suit with a large picture window facing the Tetons 😍. We were spoiled rotten and so thankful for every moment.

    Jenny Lake Campground — Grand Teton National Park

    Great campsite, hard to get

    Great campground. Running water spickets are near or on every site. Bear boxes also In each sIte, plus a picnic table and fire pit wIth a grill grate that cam fold over it. There’s a flattened “pad” to pitch your tent on, and we were able to fit (2) two-person tents on it, but that was a squeeze, clearly designed for only one tent but a big one would still fit fine. There’s one restroom for the whole campground that has flush toilets, running water sinks, mirrors, and hand soap. The “caretaker” for the site has an RV right next to the restroom and he serviced it for us immediately upon request when it was out of TP. There were deer walking through the sites the whole time we were there which was awesome. Drawback to our site was that there wasn’t anywhere on it with privacy enough from other sites around it to go to the bathroom, so pretty much had to make the 5 minute walk to the bathroom each time. Also the site is right next to the lake, and lots to do and hike around it without getting in your car. The store is also right near by, maybe a 10 minute walk, and is pretty reasonably priced. Bought all our firewood there and other things we forgot like plates and cheese. We got super lucky to get the site though, as people would start showing up at 6am to get in line for the sites and while we were there they were all accounted for by 8am. “Checkout” was at 11am though, very reasonable.

    Wakeside Lake RV Park

    Nice RV park

    It's on Wakeside Lake in Rexburg. The lake is good for boating, or if you have a paddle board that would be fun. The sites are level gravel and full hookups, 30 Amp. Most sites are shades.

    Nice laundry facility, bathrooms and showers.

    They have glamping tents, and cabins available on Airbnb

    Colter Bay Tent Village at Colter Bay Village — Grand Teton National Park

    Just Fantastic

    After almost 10 back to back individual nights at campgrounds, it was nice to be able to have two back to back nights in a tent cabin.  The cabins are great with two wood walls, two canvas tent walls and roof, four drop down bunks and a nice potbelly stove.  The outside area is very nice with a table, fire ring and bear box.  Parking for the tent was directly next to the cabin and outdoor pad.

    The only drawback is that the tent cabins are quite close to each other.  The family in the tent next to mine was very nice, but also quite loud.  The area luckily was quiet after 10pm.

    The campground village itself was very nice, with all sorts of shopping and food options.  Since I arrived at the campground around 4pm I quickly unloaded my gear into the cabin. Instead of cooking I grabbed a bite to eat and a six pack of local beer, and headed over to a spot on Jackson Lake to have a sunset dinner.  The campground location is perfect to get out and explore.

    The cabin bunks are comfortable, if not a bit loud when sleeping and moving around.  I woke myself several times with chains making noise.  After the third time, I grabbed a bottle of bike chain lubricant and did some work to make them quiet.  it worked and the rest of the night was quite peaceful.

    Mornings are definitely busy in the village.  I was up around 7am and rode my bike to the General Store to grab a coffee.  I took a little ride down to the lake and drank my coffee in a quiet spot that was perfect for meditation.  I then rode back to my site and grabbed my toiletries and rode back to the Launderette/Shower.  They had a little line to get a shower stall, but it moved quickly.  The cost was $5 and it was well worth it for the ability to take a nice long uninterrupted shower.

    I spent the day exploring Jackson and over into the Teton Valley and Driggs/Victor.  I returned later in the afternoon and grabbed a bite from John Colter's Ranch House .  The second night was much more quiet and peaceful with the stars shining bright.  

    My only qualms about the site were about how close you are to other cabins and the noise.  I would still love to stay here again.

    Jenny Lake Campground — Grand Teton National Park

    Great spot right in the Tetons

    Absolutely worth the price to be staying smack in the middle of the GTNP. extremely close to south entrance of yellowstone too. Staff is fantastic. On-site grocery and gas station. Huge laundry room. Walking distance to the lake.

    Book early!! It’s fulllll in the summer months! And be sure to check each site for max length to make sure you fit. They all vary.

    Colter Bay RV Park at Colter Bay Village — Grand Teton National Park

    Cherry on the Sundae

    This was our second summer camping around the the country for 40 days, and the second summer that we finished our trip in Colter Bay. Colter Bay is a great place to kick back and unwind. We choose these tent-cabins because they are reservable whereas the campground is first-come first-serve. Honestly though, they are really fun. The area is close to horse corrals, a short walk to Colter Village, the visitor center, the marina, the boat ramp, some hiking trails, and the swim beach beach on Jackson lake. The village has a gift shop, an excellent market/grocery, two restaurants, a laundromat, and showers that cost a little less than $5 each, but are not timed. There is public WiFi at the village and campers can charge in the laundromat. There are plumbed bathrooms close in the campground and a dishwashing sink. Every site has a bear box. The bear boxes do get hot in the sun and some ingenious campers bring reflective covers to o keep their box cool.


Guide to Swan Valley

Glamping accommodations near Swan Valley, Idaho sit at an elevation between 5,300-6,000 feet, creating distinct seasonal camping conditions with summer highs rarely exceeding 85°F and nighttime temperatures that drop significantly. These luxury outdoor options provide climate-controlled alternatives during May through October, when the surrounding Caribou-Targhee National Forest receives most of its visitors. Weather patterns in this region can change rapidly due to the mountain terrain.

What to do

Mountain biking trails: Access numerous trails near Victor, with routes suitable for various skill levels. "The park is located in Victor, ID on the other side of Teton Pass from Grand Teton National Park (the resort is about a half a mile from the center of town). Victor is a charming small town with several breweries and a locally sourced grocery market," shares a visitor of Teton Valley Resort.

Fishing access: Cast for trout at Kelly Island Campground along the Snake River. "Right on the river, good for fishing. Very clean, even the pit toilet bathroom was clean. Nearby to hot springs, off roading/short hikes/mountain or dirt biking trails and areas," notes a camper at Kelly Island Campground.

Wildlife viewing: Many campgrounds offer opportunities to spot local wildlife in natural settings. "Not unusual to have deer or moose come through the campground," according to a Kelly Island visitor, while another camper at Moose Creek Ranch reported, "We woke up to see a moose up close & personal!"

What campers like

Community activities: Organized social events at several glamping sites enhance the experience. "They have little s'more bags that they give you and do little community bonfires each night," a guest at Teton Valley Resort mentions. These evening gatherings create opportunities to meet fellow travelers.

Proximity to local attractions: Locations that balance seclusion with access to nearby towns. "We were originally going to stay six nights but shortened to three just because we like a little more space and nature. But if you're going to be out and about it's a good place to base camp," notes a visitor at Fireside Resort.

Private bathroom facilities: Many glamping options provide dedicated bathroom spaces. "Large, clean, individual bathrooms with showers. The sites are large enough and flat, but fairly close and many sites don't have a table," observed a Teton Valley Resort guest.

What you should know

Reservation timing: Peak season fills quickly at popular locations. "First come first serve. Get there in the AM and getting a spot is easy. Do not wait till 4pm," advises a camper at Colter Bay Tent Village.

Weather preparedness: Mountain weather changes rapidly, requiring proper gear regardless of season. "If you visit in the winter, make sure to bring chains as this pass can get pretty rough," notes a Teton Valley Resort camper about traveling through Teton Pass.

Water level fluctuations: Waterfront sites can experience changing conditions. "Main issue—can't really tell how far the reservoir tide will come up. We set our chairs up by a fire pit before dinner and came back to them in a few inches of water," warns a visitor at Reservoir Dispersed Camping.

Tips for camping with families

Kid-friendly amenities: Select locations with dedicated facilities for children. "Great camping, beautiful resort with comfort, good food and many activities (pool, games). Very recommended if you want to relax and enjoy yourself," says a visitor to Teton Valley Resort about their experience.

Educational opportunities: Ranger programs provide learning experiences for all ages. "The ranger talks in the evening were really marvelous," shares a visitor about their experience at Colter Bay RV Park.

Safety considerations: Follow bear safety protocols in this active wildlife region. "We did see a bear. And there were obvious signs that the bears were in the area a lot. When we saw the bear was near us there were also 3 rangers following it keeping the campers safe," noted a Colter Bay Tent Village visitor.

Tips from RVers

Hookup availability: RV sites vary significantly in available connections. "Only electric hook ups and cable TV. There was water available to fill your tanks and a dump station on site," explains a visitor at Fireside Resort regarding their facilities.

Site spacing: Consider proximity to neighbors when selecting an RV spot. "Crushed stone sites. Very tight. No shade. Very good laundry and rest rooms. Quiet. Good views," describes a visitor about Teton Valley Resort, which is undergoing expansion.

Seasonal considerations: Many luxury glamping sites near Swan Valley have limited operating seasons. "Spent a few days here. Inexpensive with decent wifi and 5G Verizon coverage. Bathrooms & Showers, laundry, cafe/restaurant, even a hot tub," shares a camper at Thaidaho Victor, one of the smaller glamping options in the area.
