"Steep 3 miles up highway outside Jackson. Pull off on RIGHT small area with a beautiful waterfall fed pond !"
"The creek water sound is nice but the highway noise is loud so be aware, although the noise almost stops completely by 9/10pm. Clean camp area."
$105 / night
"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."
"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!"
"Close to the Hwy over Teton Pass; but the last mile is clay road & (b/c of recent rain cell) it coated our vehicle."
"Great place to rest for a night and close to Jackson. The camp site is easily accessible by cars and vans. We were the only people camping when we arrived late at night."
$15 - $20 / night
"The kind and generous folks of Jackson let the Yellowstone evacuees dry camp for free at their rodeo fairgrounds. So here we are in the lovely town of Jackson!"
"Death canyon trail head is the starting point for the hike. Permit is required. You can get one at the visitor center."
$35 - $45 / night
"A beautiful 8 mile hike up the mountain finished with secluded sites with gorgeous views of the surrounding mountains."
"Only one had a noisy generator;) our spot was right next to the roaring Palisades Creek, and a short walk to restrooms. Only 15 bucks a night;)"
"Adequately spaced sites, next to a creek. Well maintained, nice hiking trails. $12/night. Allows dogs and has good cell service. Picnic tables and fire pits."
$59 - $122 / night
"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)."
"HeadWaters Rv campground is located in the perfect place right between Yellowstone and The Tetons. Perfect for exploring both Parks."
"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."
$12 / night
"A little ways off the highway comes a dispersed camping area near Turpin Meadows."
"Not many spots but found one when I arrived around 6pm. Not positive but I think there are more tent campsites that you can walk to but not drive in at the end/bottom of the road."
ScoutColter 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.
GuideTurpin Meadow Campground was a happy stumble-upon for us. We went to the Tetons and had no idea how crazy busy it would be, so were forced out of the park to find a place to stay.
Truthfully, this campground wasn't much, and was kind of difficult to get to (at least the way we went in). It fulfilled all that we wanted it to do though. A place to park our car and utility trailer for the night and wake up early to go into the park. There was water and vault toilets on site, so that was nice.
This is actually right next to (or apart of?) an equestrian park with lots of horses and horse corrals all around. It was truthfully a little spooky hearing the horses start to whinny in the middle of the night, but we got over that.
GuideStayed in mid-June when Yellowstone and Teton were brimming with tourists. We had booked a back-up RV spot near the south entrance to Teton, but after looking at it just filled our water there and left (it was basically an open field with 50 of your not best friends in RV's blasting music). Took a chance on Pacific Creek. All of the dispersed camping was taken, but the campground itself, which is at the end of the road, was about empty. For $10 we got a spacious site, table and fire ring. Water was available as were pit toilets. Looks like a great equestrian campground and we saw a few parties with horses. Make sure you make use of the bear boxes, as we saw plenty of bear prints and other sign within 200 yards of our site. Lovely trails leave right from here. The camp host is a Swiss ex-musician and all around nice guy.

Right next to highway, but not a lot of traffic or road noise, could change seasonally.
A local was here when we arrived and said there are a few more pull offs continuing up the highway
GuideWhat a great campground. Primitive, but it does have a pit toilet, picnic tables and bear boxes. Most of the sites are in pretty wide open meadows. A few have more trees and there are horse corrals and two secluded sites next to them. We stayed in #3, one of the more treed sites with plenty of room for our tent, and loved it! The camp hosts were awesome! The place was spotless and they sold firewood for less than anyone else. We were only planning on staying one night, but liked it so much, we stayed 3! The Creek was right behind our site and was fun to check out. A commercial campground is next door that has horse trail rides. Great fishing in the river a short walk from the campground. Location is the gem here, being only 2.5 miles from the south entrance to Yellowstone and 10 miles north of Grand Tetons! September was a great time to visit. No mosquitoes! It was cold at night (25 degrees) so plan accordingly! With high R-value pads and 0 degree bags we were toasty.
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!
ScoutA little ways off the highway comes a dispersed camping area near Turpin Meadows. There are nearby and accessible vault toilets and horse areas but for the most part, these camping spots are few and far between. There are several shaded spots without a view but that keep you free from the heat of summer and a couple more exposed spots that are very warm during the day but reward you with some incredible views. Easy access to both Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park as well as some great hiking in the area. Would definitely return!
RangerWe 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.
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.
