    Review of Colter Bay Tent Village – Grand Teton National Park

    Staying at Colter Bay Tent Village in Grand Teton was fantastic! The flexible reservation policy saved me when I had to adjust my plans. Camping there was unforgettable, but you know what made it even better? A pre-trip visit to the Costco Food Court. Stocking up on their tasty, budget-friendly meals—like the classic$1.50 hot dog combo—was perfect for quick, hearty snacks during my adventures. It saved me so much time and energy! For more camping meal ideas from Costco, visit Costco Food Court Menu. Happy camping!

    Cave Falls Campground

    Nice campground along Fall River

    $13 (paid $6.50 with senior pass). Camped in site #13 on Sept 22, 2024. Forest Road 582 is washboarded most of the way toward the campground; access to the forest road is from Idaho, east of Ashton. Campground is a short drive from Cave Falls in Yellowstone National Park (NP fee required). Pull thru sites, some leveling required. Some sites are large, some are small. Sites along the river are nice. Clean and stocked vault toilets. Potable water station in center of campground. No electric, sewer or water hook-ups. Each site has a bear box, table and metal fire ring. Site driveways are gravel. Site #13 is a very large campsite with partial view of Fall River. The river is down a steep bank; may be difficult to access. No trails at the campground, although there are excellent trails in the national park.

    Lower Rock Creek FR305 Dispersed

    Dispersed camping on road to Cave Falls

    Free. Coordinates: 44.09981,-111.17306. Camped here on Sept 21, 2024. Set back and above busy Forest Road 582 which heads toward Cave Falls; no issues with dust from forest road. Site is also referred to as Lower Creek Road Campground. Large site, should easily accommodate 3 rigs. A few spots are level. Up on a small hill above Rock Creek. Can't see the creek, but you can hear it. Dirt surface. Tent camping possible. Surrounded by tall trees, but open sky above. Site has a bear box and a rock fire ring. There is also an old lean-to near the fire ring. The access track is pot-holed; may be muddy. No hiking trails. No T-Mobile nor AT&T cell service. It's a nice site; nothing special. Good for a quiet overnight stay if visiting Cave Falls.

    Excellent National Forest Campground

    Very well maintained campground. Stayed here for a few nights in mid-Sept 2024; no fees - end of summer season. Summer time fee is $17. Mix of pull-thru and back-in sites. Some sites are in the open; others are set back into thick forest. Campground accommodates tent campers, hammock campers, van campers, car campers, truck campers. One camper managed get his big travel trailer into a campsite. Large sites, good spacing between them. Clean vault toilets in different parts of the campground. Water was still turned on during our stay. Usually has a host, but not during my stay. Campsites are level on a gravel surface with a newish table, metal fire ring and a tent pad. Area is popular with hikers. Good trails from the campground. No T-Mobile nor AT&T cell service. The forest road accessing the campground is in good shape; access is from the Idaho side of the Tetons. Stayed in site #2 with a campervan; pull-thru site with a tent pad. A lush forest was directly behind this site. Loved camping here. Look forward to returning.

    East Table Campground

    Access to the Snake River

    Stayed here on Sept 18, 2024. Paid $10 with senior pass. Pretty campground. Lots of pine trees. Some pull-throughs and some back-ins. Gravel campground road; may be tight in places for big rigs. Sites are dirt surface. Some leveling required. Campground accommodates tents, car camping, vans and RVs. Don't recommend large towables. Hammock camping possible. More than one vault toilet; reasonably clean and stocked. Hand water pumps, but shut off. Trash dumpsters, but locked. Some sites have easy access to the Snake River for fishing. Each site has a table, bear box, metal fire ring, and grill. Highway noise, loud at times. $20 is too high for a national forest campground fee when the water is shut off and the trash dumpsters are locked. Site 9 is large but received some odor from the nearby vault toilet. Campground host was friendly. This campground is probably a destination campground for fly fishing on the Snake River; otherwise, it's just okay for an overnight stay.

    We’re on a month-long RV trip across CA, NV, WY, MT, WA, OR, & so far, this was our favorite stop by far!! The grounds are superb with on-site restaurant & laundry (free laundry — a first!). The owners are great, very attentive. AND we woke up to see a moose up close & personal! Also very close to Grand Tetons. All around an amazing experience. We loved it so much we’re trying to plan a family trip around staying here again.

    Found on Google Maps Free dispersed camping in allowed areas.

    Coolest Campsite I’ve ever stayed at

    This free dispersed site was absolutely unreal. We met the most amazing people and go to watch the sunrises, sunsets, thunderstorms and rainbows over the Tetons each and every day. Truly an amazing experience and I hope everyone can make it out here some day. We stayed at site #9 and honestly I think it’s the best site on the entire campground. Everyone was wondering how we snagged it and I said “get there earlier in the morning” haha. Enjoy:)

    Nice view of the Tetons

    Very peaceful, only one other camper near by for the first 5 days, then had the area to myself. Best view spots need decent clearance. Great view of some of the Tetons from the west side, overlooking the small town of Victor.

    Spot #5 was very nice

    Dispersed Camping space #5 was very nice. We decided to pull our 29' travel trailer only partway into the space to find the most level spot. But we still had some 4 acres all to ourselves! The mosquitos were not fooling around though!

    South Landing- GTNP Backcountry Site

    Beautiful Backcountry Site

    Easy 1/2 mile walk from parking lot down to rocky beach and private personal or group sites where you’ll feel like you have have Jackson Lake all to yourself. Unrestricted views of Mt Moran and very probable sighting of Bald Eagles, Bear, Elk, Moose, and Deer. Bear Boxes are available along with fire rings. All waste must be packed out.

    Best Kept Secret of GTNP

    This is not a campground, but it is thr best kept secret of the GTNP lodging and overnight options. Shared bunkhouses in an old fashioned hostel style with a great central pavilion with available cooking resources, story swapping, and loads of local intel.

    USFS Strong

    Outstanding little USFS campground with convenient trail access for Jedediah Smith Wilderness, Alaska Basin, and Grand Teton National Park. Vault Toilets are recently updated, the water is cold and clear, the creek is beautiful, and in my 3x staying the hosts have always been extremely helpful and friendly. The road back in is long and all gravel, but easy to handle in any vehicle if you keep it a reasonable speed. There is no cell service of any sort except in random, almost impossible to find again spots. Plenty of wildlife in the area- always be bear aware!

    Better Than Anything You Could Pay For

    Absolutely the best the USFS dispersed system has to offer. Unbeatable views, understanding site neighbors, attentive host, and all the peace and quiet you can tolerate. Be forewarned, after you drive all the way back to the dispersed site area, MOST of 40+ sites are up a steep, 4x4 required hillside, many aren’t level enough for tenting, and all are in bear country, but again- WORTH IT. Have been here 3x now and will be back.

    Nice Campground - mostly shut down end of Sept

    Looks like a nice campground but we moved on - the electric at the sites were turned off (on 9/26), trash bins were locked. Pit toilets were open. Plenty of open sites if you want to stay.

    Easy Access With Many Sites

    The farm road that leads into this area was once paved and is now covered in gravel with a few ruts here and there but easily avoidable. Sites all the way down to the river edge many with rock fire rings. We were all by ourselves about halfway down - quiet and beautiful!

    Colter Bay Campground at Colter Bay Village - Grand Teton National Park

    Dense trees friendly campers

    This review is for the basic campground at colter bay in grand Tetons. Not the RV park which is very dense parking RV to RV. Not the cabins. Just a plain national park campground. Each site has tent pad, table, and fire ring. Flush toilets and sinks in building within each campground loop. Water spigot near rest room. Depending on site, it may be 500 feet to restrooms (like site C60). Sites are well screened from adjacent sites with dense trees and bushes. Star watching is limited due to trees. Every site was full mid week mid September. Very friendly campers from all across US, Canada, and Europe. It is a bear area black and grizzly. Bear spray recommended on hikes. Great wildlife viewing on local trails, or near Jackson lake dam and various sites around the park. Moose, bears, elk, beavers, raptors,… Easy to spend 3-4 days enjoying the park and viewing wildlife Note this site turns into a big puddle after a solid day of rain. Tent pad raised with gravel and logs was above water. Many sites likely have similar issue. But not all. Very limited T-Mobile if any.

    Popular and convenient

    This area seems to be very popular. It is very close to the Grand Tetons. There is spotty Verizon signal. Because it is very popular I would suggest larger rigs to arrive earlier in the day in order to get a spot. There seems to be an abundance of camping areas. I stayed here for three nights and was unable to camp at the same location each night. Great views and people around me were polite and quiet.

    Road Not RV Friendly

    The road is very rough. We drove up, but there were a lot of very rough patches. The place was full, so we continued on to find another area.
