Colter Bay Tent Village sounds like an amazing spot, especially with the incredible views and outdoor activities. It reminds me of how much I enjoy exploring new trails in Beach Buggy when I’m looking for some downtime from racing.
Scout"Colter Bay Tent Village offers a fantastic outdoor experience with beautiful views and comfortable accommodations. It’s a perfect spot for nature lovers who want to disconnect and relax. After a long day of exploring, I unwind by playing Car Parking Multiplayer Mod APK, which provides a fun, immersive driving experience right from my phone, even in the middle of nature! Highly recommended for some downtime."

TravelerWe checked in and immediately left. The cabin was filthy with many rodent droppings everywhere. The bunk beds were in horrible condition with broken springs. There were also large (8”-10”) gaps under the canvas walls and roof that allowed in all bugs, rodents, and other small animals. Totally unacceptable for $100 a night and very unsanitary. We camp often but this was just gross.
Ranger
Beautiful view from this one spot. This was about 3 Mi in. If you go further it goes straight down into the woods toward a lake and it's very dark and no light, no stars, and truly scary bear country. I don't know how people can camp in tents in this type of area. Also, prepare for very cold nights. Last night, July 2nd, was damp and about 36° and it was an uncomfortable sleep!
Guide
Stayed here one night while bikepacking on the Tour Divide route. Multiple sites were open and the camp hosts were very friendly. They ensured I knew about the potential for bears and answered a few questions about the area. Each site had a bear box. There was a small herd of horses roaming with bells to deter the bears. I was able to get food at the nearby lodge. Very quiet, away from the traffic of the national park. Great nights sleep and beautiful morning.
Traveler great place to enjoy nature picked up oil-based painting again and had a week of nice
TravelerWe tent camped here and we absolutely loved this campground. I can't remember what site we were in as they are assigned when you check in, but our spot was near the bathroom, but still very private. We walked down to the bay and did the trail down there in the morning and it was absolutely breath taking, but a little scary since there had been bear activity in the area.
We just made sure to take our bear spray and made some noise while hiking.
The site was great, good tent pad, nice fire pit and table and a bear box as well.
The bathrooms were very clean and the grounds were well kept.
Being right in the park was great for easy access to Grand Teton and getting an early start.
Traveler
I took my family her last minute on a Friday afternoon thinking there wouldn't be any spots open. To my surprise we got a spot. There is plenty of room between camp spots and it is very well kept. We loved it there. Everyone was very respectful and no ATVs or Dirt Bikes are allowed except for the camp hosts and so it was nice and quiet. It was already fully stocked with wood for us as well. Well worth the $20/night and we will be coming back for sure.
GuideWe stayed for 3 nights and our site was great. Roomier than other NPS campgrounds, trees for shade, and flush toilets. The nearby camp store is well stocked and the laundry and showers were really nice too. Love that you can walk to the lakeshore from The campgrounds. We saw a bald eagle on the lakeshore trail too! We would definitely stay again!
Traveler
This is a wide open dispersed location along the Green River. You might be competing with free grazing cattle, but they're respectful. It's a beautiful spot. The road in is washboard, so be patient.
RangerSites are close but plenty of trees around for privacy. Bathrooms are flush with running water. Paid showers and laundry by visitors center. Great food in restaurant by the visitor center and a pizzeria. Great Wi-Fi in restaurant area.
Lot said they were full but we got a spot night of and arrived around 6pm. Saw some open spots the next morning for hikers/bikers so if you’re stuck and it’s late I’d ask about those if they say they are full.
Bears in area so you need to use the bear box. Nice picnic table and fire ring too!
Guide
Great option since I couldn’t find camping at GTNP it is about 30 min from moose, right now there are fixing the road so it may take extra 15 min. The lake is nice and views are amazing. Bathrooms clean, no showers. Fire ring , picnic table and bear food storage on every site, some mosquitos at evening time

So I used to like this place in the last years but now I started to have second thoughts I don't know if I was unlucky this year, but I was surprised to have some disappointments here. One of the things was find a single RV site accommodating one RV, 3 cars, tent and multiple families. I understand if a single family brings one or two extra adult to stay in the RV with a couple of kids plus an UTV but overpopulating with an RV, multiple large cars, more than one single family and children(lots of) also building tent that's for me was a little disappointing. Another thing I was worry, even with that amount of people, there was a moment I went out and I saw they left the fire burning and unassisted. My list of concerns didn't stop here, I noticed some vehicles would not respect the speed limit of the campsite(in a place with kids! What is happening with this world!). In addition, because the kids were be walking around, they stressed out my dog which barked and I was the one reported! In respect to the facility I stayed inside of the RV with my dog(not the the way I had planned to spend my vacation and I did lots of rv travel, this was the first time I got reported for my dog!). On the other hand there were a day some kids were playing with some toy gun(not sure what kind, pellet, bb gun, whatever) that even our friend(yes we travel in group, everyone with their own rv site) who was few sites on the left of us that heard the shots of the toy gun. I just hopefully it wasn't a pellet/bb gun because we have people, pets and other kids around here. And there was the dog poop! This year it seems we got some bad dog owner, for the first time we encounter dog poop in some areas we used to walk.(again, what is happening with this world!!!) About the overpopulated RV site, I asked about the reception if they don't have restriction about the limit of people and cars, families, tents to receive on a rv site they pretty much I was told there is no restriction. So if you want to bring multiple families in several vehicles plus RV, built tents around the rv to accommodate everybody and all cramped in a single RV site to save money, this is the place to come. Another episode that startled me. The day we arrived, we started to unpack and I was laying on the ground the panels of the dog playpen on the grass near to the behind of the rv to assemble and suddenly a cart/utv comes driving over the grass toward to the panel I had just laid down on the grass. I signed the driver to watch for the panel and instead of stopping or slowing down he just drove over and neither stopped to apologize or check if he caused any damage, he just drove away. Either this drive was an employee or another bad customer that thought it was ok to drive over the grass area between the sites and the river. I never saw this happen in the past years I came here. This year unfortunately I didn't have much of a good experience here. Usually I don't write reviews but I want to make sure people that has certain expectation for their camping vacation like I do be aware of what they may experience here.
GuideFor cyclists and hikers … Colter Bay campground does have a hiker/biker campsite. ~$15/night.
There are lots of pitches, with food storage, picnic tables and fire pits. No charging facilities, but I discreetly charged a power pack at night in the toilet block. Full facilities here, including showers for $5, laundry, cafe/restaurant and a really good and large grocery store. If you are coming from Yellowstone you’ll notice that the price of groceries here is back to normal levels for the USA, compared to the grocery stores in Yellowstone, which as we say in the UK, are taking the Micky (that’s the polite version!)

Camping here is only for contestants or people stalling horses with them on special event days.. the number to ask is: +1 (307) 733-5289
GuideWE spent 4 nights here backed up to the river. Not many people yet (late May). the facilities were clean. Restrooms and showers are perfect. Many trees taht were just getting their leaves. Would definately stay here again!
We drove to Teton National Park, which is about an hour away and Yellowstone is about 1 1/2 hours away. If you really want to spend time at Yellowstone, you need to camp in the park. The driving distance is too far.
TravelerWe stumbled upon this place because we wanted to see the National Museum of Vehicle Museums and I’m so glad we did.
Stunning spot next to the river with a view of the mountains. Lovely, well-kept site with fire pits/benches, clean bathrooms, good shop and lovely people at the reception office.
GuideThe price you pay to camp right in front of this lake is insanely cheap! The camp host is a riot. BUT… the mosquitoes ate. Us. Alive.
Down the road is additional free camping as well.
GuideNot super crowded and campsites are relatively spread out. Beautiful views!
GuideDefinitely one of the most beautiful & clean campgrounds I’ve ever stayed at. Very well-kept, absolutely gorgeous spacious sites right along the wind river. I would live here if possible! Also pretty close to the Tetons. Can’t say more good things about this place. Such good memories made

Saw a moose and some deer on the way in. Heard someone nearby shooing away an animal nearby. About a 20 minute drive from the turnoff, roads were fine in my 2wd Honda. Nice and secluded spots, mine was by a little creek
Traveler
We were a caravan of 3 Rigs, ranging from 44’ 5th wheel to our 28’ TT. We were hoping to land a dispersed site, but those were taken. We continued on the the campground, but we were the only ones there!
TravelerLoved all the trees. Well kept. Great camp store, laundry, and showers.
Traveler
Need a backpack permit and reservation. It's a little over 4 miles to get to. Not a ton of foot traffic makes it that far so it's pretty quiet. Great view of Mt Moran. Trapper lake has some beavers and pretty mellow. On top of the hill at the site gives you another great view. There is a Bear Box for food storage here.
TravelerBeautiful views, friendly staff, level sites with full hookups either viewing the River and mountains or in the woods. Call store is open until 10 every night for essentials and firewood. Expensive, but worth it.
GuideLarge campground with convenient and well stocked but over priced grocery store. My biggest problem with this campground is there only one place to shower. There is bathrooms at each loop but no shower and no dish washing station. Also the show house closes at 9pm and cost $5. Which I guess is common (having to pay) at campgrounds in national parks. Not my favorite place but I will add that there is a large amount of room between camp sites .
