Beautiful campground right on the lake. My husband and I tried to find a spot at the Gros Ventre campground but were turned away since they were at max capacity. We decided to try our luck at Atherton Creek and were not disappointed. They’re currently redoing the road, so in the next year there should be a nice paved road all the way there. It was beautiful, much cheaper than most campgrounds ($15/site) and the staff was friendly and helpful. No electrical hookups but perfect if you’re looking for a scenic spot out of the main traffic. About a 35-40 minute drive from Jackson.

Colter Bay is one of the best campgrounds I've stayed in in a national park out west. The campsites themselves were nicely spaced apart and you couldn't hear much from one campsite to another. Everyone seemed to respect quiet hours here, which you don't always find, and it was so quiet all night--definitely the best sleeps I've had camping! The sites had the usual picnic table and fire ring plus a really nice, large bear box for storing food and other items. The tent pads were nicely maintained and large. There were restrooms and dump stations within a short walk, which were not super nice but decent enough. The restrooms had flush toilets but no soap. Nearby Colter Bay Village was great--it had a general store with cafe and gift shop, a visitors center, a beautiful marina, and lake access with lots of trails. There was also potable water and WiFi at the general store.In general, Colter Bay was in a great location. A bit far from Jackson, but so close to Jackson Lake and a short drive to Jenny Lake. You can see the Tetons from various parts of the campground. The only negatives we really found were that there was little to no kindling to find around the campsite (not sure if that was allowed anyways) and the mosquitos were relentless in the campground. Overall, it was a beautiful place to stay and if I could find better ways to deal with mosquitos (regular bug spray, Citronella candles, and campfires did nothing and neither did covering up head to toe) I would definitely come back! One last note: we got our campsite around noon on a Thursday, and the campground was not full; there seemed to be at least a few free sites all weekend.

We stayed here for one night and the campground was entirely booked so reservations ahead of time are a must, at least when we went in May. The campground is very pretty and each spot has some sense of privacy, however it is hard to get a remote feeling. The drive around the campground may be tight for some larger vehicles as it is one-way but is nicely paved. The pull-in for the campsites was very tight for my larger vehicle with bikes on the back. The campground facilities were very nice and clean. The location of this campground is amazing, although the views from within the campsite we stayed at weren’t anything special. It is a walk or short drive to the welcome center and hike around Jenny Lake and up into the mountains. This was what our trip was all about! We only stayed at the campground for one night and had an amazing hike where we saw two baby brown bears playing in a tree while the mother bear was rustling around looking for food nearby and so many other cool animals including a Moose! Jenny Lake with the Grand Tetons in the background is one of the most beautiful spots of wilderness I have seen. This is a must go back to location as there is so much to do in the surrounding areas! It is also about 30 to 40 min. Away from Jackson Hall, which is a great place to get some yummy food, cool pictures of the town, and relax.

I stayed here late winter and it looks like half the sites are closed in the winter. In addition to rv sites they offer full service cabins, dry cabins, and yurts. The facility is quite nice. Large, clean, individual bathrooms with showers. The sites are large enough and flat, but fairly close and many sites don't have a table. They also appeared to be doing a lot of construction. Decent wifi. There is also a good sized fire pit in RV area which I enjoyed. The do allow packages to be delivered. They are about 45 minutes to Jackson through a mountain pass. If you visit in the winter, make sure to bring chains as this pass can get pretty rough. Overall I enjoyed my stay, deducting one star as they seemed pretty expensive for the sites to be so close and construction equipment every where.

We loved this location to visit Jackson and Jackson Hole. The drive to GTNP is not bad either. Property is kept great. We had one of the premium sites with large trees and we loved it. It felt private enough for us. We enjoyed our stayed here and the staff was very friendly. We would come here again.
RangerEnjoyed our stay here - pricey to be sure but everything in Jackson is. The campground is well run and pretty - nestled amongst the trees with a nearby creek. Our site was phenomenal - spacious with a large backyard of sorts up to the creek. It appeared other sites in the park were less generous in terms of space. All this said, probably your best bet while staying in Jackson these days.
GuideMostly I stay at state parks when I camp, but there isn’t much of that around Jackson Hole. This place was great. We stayed in the RV area and it was as much as could be expected. Pull through sites, fire pits, enough space between sites to give you some privacy. The bathrooms and showers were top notch. Close enough to day trip around Jackson. Fun enough to stick around. Awesome tiny house style cabins. We didn’t stay in those but poked around and would totally stay there next time. They looked awesome.
LegendI car camped here with a friend in early June while visiting the Tetons and Yellowstone and this was great stop-over working north from Gross Ventre.
The campsites were well spaced and tucked into the trees for some privacy and space. The tent pads were level and each site had a bear box. Facilities were clean.
Our site was a short trail walk to Jackson lake which had a nice grassy area with park benches, with sign wave that suggested swimming is available later in the year.
We didn’t check out Colter Bay Village, but there is a well stocked gas station around the entrance to the campground.
The campground was a 15 min drive to Jackson Lake Dam, which was the best option for fishing during our stay, and an equal drive to Signal Mountain lodge which had an excellent restaurant overlooking Jackson Lake and the surrounding mountains.
This was a perfect stop-over campsite to explore the northern part of the park on the way to Yellowstone.
GuideAmazing pool and hot tub. Our site was paved. 40 minutes to Jackson. The restaurant was mediocre for breakfast but convenient. Overall enjoyed our stay!
RangerColter Bay Campground is nice, well-maintained and worth the stay! The location is absolutely perfect! Jackson Lake is nearby, where you can rent boats and kayaks. We kayaked one morning and it was surreal! The Grand Tetons are breathtaking! The lake trail and the Swan Lake and Heron Pond loop make for a nice hike when you first get in. Jackson Lake Lodge is just a short drive away if you want to enjoy a local beer or cocktail while watching the sunset. There are pay showers available, which are always well worth the money spent! We will most definitely be back someday!
Traveler
It's an hour drive to Jackson. Around 1 1/2hrs to GTNP and 2+hrs to YNP. Cabin needs a few minor details to be better. Full length mirror, towel racks, instructions on how things work like washer/dryer combo and propane stove.

GuideCrushed stone sites. Very tight. No shade. Very good laundry and rest rooms. Quiet. Good views. Nice pool and hot tub. They are doubling the size with construction under way. They are honest about the construction. The town and area are nice. 40 minutes over the pass to Jackson and Teton Park. Lots of access to hiking and mountain biking.
GuideThe views here were great. This area had all the things we needed. I recommend north Jenny lake - beware though, Jenny lake gets crazy busy so perhaps try one of the other lakes. We went to String Lake for lunch and it was lovely. There are many great trails for bikes. Jackson Lake Lodge has some fabulous views out the back on its balcony.
GuideWe stayed there for three nights to explore Jackson Hole. It was perfectly situated. The back is where the campers are and it was nicely situated. The sites weren’t huge but they were big enough. I loved taking a shower in the showers there. They were so clean and it felt nice after being in Yellowstone for a week and a half to have a bit of luxury outside of our camper.
RangerNice campground (definitely cater to the cabins which looked amazing) The RV section was really tight, sites were very close together. 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. The staff were super friendly and accommodating. Great proximity to Jackson Hole and Tetons.
GuideThey had a drive-thru style check-in that was super organized and helpful. We had an easy pull thru spot with good clearance, clean bathrooms that are heated and plentiful shade. Campground was quiet and it was a short walk down to the spectacular Jackson Lake. No hookups in the campground but pumping station and water was available.
Great stopover on our way to Yellowstone but one day in Grand Teton was just not enough.
LegendWe stayed here 4 nights and it has been great! Not all the sites have water and sewer, but everything has electric. It’s clean and the service is amazing. They’ve got a good size laundry room and a small shop for odds and ends. We’ve loved our stay here. It close to downtown Jackson Hole, so you can drive into town for anything you need with a quick 10 minute drive, but far enough away that you don’t hear traffic or city noice.
GuideYou can’t really go wrong in the Tetons, bc...it’s the Tetons. We base-camped here for 4 nights to explore GTNP. only regret is that it made for some long drives down to the southern areas of the park/Jackson/Teton Village. If we did it over, might’ve split with some nights in Gros Ventre or even Granite Creek, but CB was good for us. it’s a busy mini-town with tons of activity, people, and tour buses during the day. But we benefited from the showers and laundry. plus, you can usually find a quiet place somewhere on the shore of Jackson Lake.
the CG Is huge but empties out every day by 10am (it filled up only a couple of the nights we were there). our spot was a little more spacious, which the kids enjoyed. most sites weren’t much to look at, but walk a few feet and you’ll see Mt Moran over thr trees, which makes up for it.
Only complaint was that we were told when arriving we couldnt take a particular site that was open bc it was being held for someone. i told the guard i thought all sites were FCFS with no reservations? we took the site across from that one, and nobody ever came for the site we wanted.
Having big bear boxes at every site was really appreciated. Grants Village in Yellowstone had one box half that size that was shared by 5-6 sites—nope!
Travelerwe loved this campground. pros: sites are spread out for very good privacy. bathrooms are good enuf. host, Justin was nice and helpful. cons: no showers, no internet (or is that a pro?). gravel road to campground was a little bumpy the last couple of miles. pretty close to Jackson and not too far from Signal Mountain and such. our jk350 jeep did not have any problems. We found this place out of desperation as all other campsites were booked. We will definitely camp here again. there are some primo sites on the lake we will try and get next time.
GuideI camped here during the first week of June this year. The weather was beautiful, the campground was well kept and the hosts were very nice and helpful! The location was great, very easy to get to. The sites are closer together than we would usually prefer, but not as close as some other campgrounds in National Parks we've been too! Plus there are lots of trees & bushes to split up the sites and make you feel like you're not right next to someone. The best part about this campground is the short trail to Jackson Lake. We watched the sunset both nights and it was magical!
RangerI came down from Great Falls, MT to ski at Jackson and do some winter camping in the park. The National Park website states that they keep the "campground" open in the winter. This campground is a the parking lot for the normal summer campground. It is iced over and not very easy to find, especially if you get there late in the day. However, there is an open and heated bathroom available which is a huge bonus. I had a great time camping here even though the night reached -30F. The only reason it received 3 stars is due to the comparison between Mammoth Hot Springs winter campground which is fantastic.
GuideAtherton Campground on Lowe Slide Lake is probably the last campground to fill in the Teton Valley and the best kept secret. Still open spots on July 4, 2017. Well maintained pavement road to the lake. It is a little but of a drive, but still way to get to Mormon row, Moose, and Jackson. Camp is set on a hillside beside this beautiful mountain lake. Sites are well maintained, clean and spread out. We saw 2 antelope in camp. Deer on the way in and out. Didn't have a kayak with us this time, but will for sure have them next trip!!! Everyone from huge diesel pushers to tiny vintage campers & tents were staying there. Can't wait to go back!

This is a basic forest service campground. Potable water, bear boxes and pit toilets. We have a big rig and stayed in overflow. This is a home base campground to visit the amazing area. There is dispersed camping down the road, but since there was alot of rain in the forecast, we opted for the gravel overflow area. The highway quiets down at night, so it is very peaceful for sleeping. Hatchet Resort is next door for meals and/or fuel if desired. It is 8 miles from the Northern entrance into GTNP near Jackson Lake. We paid Senior Pass rate on overflow fees. The limit is 16 days, so we opted to stay for the full time since potable water was present.
Ranger
We stayed here during a two-week trip visiting several national parks in the West with our friends. Since we had limited time to spend at each of our destinations, we wanted to stay as close as possible to the parks, so this campground fit the bill for visiting both Grand Teton and Yellowstone.
We called ahead to be sure of check in procedures. We first drove to the visitor center and checked in. We were given maps and directions to our sites (our request for neighboring sites was honored). It was easy to locate Site 310, a pull through site with full hookups. The sites were level and mainly dirt (little to no gravel). The roads were the same, so everything stayed dusty for our three-night stay. There were some nice shade trees, and we were able to create a nice little shared yard space with our friends between the two trailers.
There was a great deal of foot and car traffic on the little road our site was on because of our proximity to the bathhouse. It was entertaining watching tent campers run to the bathroom in the mornings while we sipped our coffee outside. We didn’t spend much time hanging out here because we spent the majority of our time visiting the two national parks. Cell service was nonexistent unless we drove to Jackson Overlook. Being out of touch with our families was the worst part of staying here, so we made the ten-minute drive to this point to touch base and take care of emails/business back home. The gas station near the campground was convenient for fuel and ice, so we appreciated that especially after driving through the desolate areas of Wyoming.
Although the dusty roads were an annoyance, we decided that this was the best place to stay for anyone wanting to visit both national parks and have the luxury of full hookups. We would definitely stay here again for visiting Grand Teton and Yellowstone. Maybe by then, they’ll have some gravel.
GuideThis was my second stay here. The first time I camped in my tent for 3 nights while we did touristy things all over Yellowstone and it was a great stay. This time I rented a rustic cabin for 5 nights and mainly dayhiked trails in the Grand Tetons. You will not have cell service here but there is WiFi and the camp store and the is also data service for Verizon and ATT customers at the Jackson Lake overlook in GTNP. We used the laundry facilities, the showers and the camp store during our stay. There is also a restaurant that offers carry out only service. We didn’t use that though. We did purchase our wood from the camp store and it was pricy and that was expected. We did not see any bear here and we did experience a few days of heavy wildfire smoke.
GuideAfter 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.
