    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.

    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.

    Headwaters Campground at Flagg Ranch — John D. Rockefeller, Jr., Memorial Parkway

    Perfect Location

    Great spot on the outskirts of both Grand Teton and Yellowstone Parks. we stayed in a cabin which was very cozy and clean. A double bunk beds with a mattress, a desk and chairs and dresser. warm showers and bathrooms within walking distance. A hiking trail that follows snake river is not that far from ranch. Pricing at the grocery store and convenience store a bit high, $16 total for s’mores, so shop before. Activities available for youth and adults.

    Dubois-Wind River KOA

    Good night along the way

    We stayed one night at this KOA on our way to the Grand Tetons National Park from Wind Cave National Park. It was a nice campground and we enjoyed our stay. Staff was friendly and had our site ready for us upon arrival.

    This campground is what we tend to expect from staying at a KOA. We had a pull-thru site that was in the trees and relatively level gravel site. When ever possible we enjoy sites in the tress. We were in a shorter pull-thru site but with our extended cab truck and our 25' trailer, we pretty much maxed out the length of the site but were able to stay hooked up. The hookups worked well but the water connection was very low to the ground which required us to change up our normal fresh water setup, but everything worked out well with a little modifications on our end. 

    On most of our one night stays we have a tendency to stick in-side of our tailer, have dinner, and go to bed. This night we ended up sitting out side with our portable fire pit and listening to the river near by.

    If we were ever traveling through this area again we would 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.

Guide to Moran

Situated east of the Teton mountain range at around 6,800 feet elevation, Moran, Wyoming serves as a strategic basecamp for exploring both Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. The area experiences short summers with cool nights where temperatures can drop below 40°F even in July. While RV sites provide basic amenities, the yurt camping options near Moran offer weatherproof accommodations that can handle the region's unpredictable mountain weather patterns.

What to do

Paddling on Jackson Lake: Access the water directly from Colter Bay RV Park where paddlers can enjoy mountain-framed water activities. "The campground is just a place to lay your head, but the hikes around Colter Bay are majestic! Church at the amphitheater was enjoyable, and the grocery store provided necessary items and ice cream treats daily!" notes Chelsea W.

Creek floating opportunities: At Crystal Creek Campground, visitors can escape summer heat in the cool water. "We caught and ate all the trout and whitefish we could handle. Nights got down to thirty-four degrees Fahrenheit, making for chilly pees," reports Ron M., highlighting both fishing and temperature considerations.

Wildlife viewing: The area provides excellent wildlife spotting chances without crowds. "We saw a grizzly, and a moose with her calf, among other creatures," shares Celina M., describing how Colter Bay RV Park offers wildlife viewing right from camp.

What campers like

Evening ranger programs: Educational presentations add value to the camping experience. According to Celina M., "The ranger talks in the evening were really marvelous" at Colter Bay, providing insights into local ecology and wildlife.

Convenient services: Headwaters Campground at Flagg Ranch offers practical amenities that make longer stays more comfortable. "There's WiFi and free hot shower; the campground seems big but the facilities are never further away than a 5 min walk," notes Alex I., highlighting the accessibility of essential services.

Quieter alternatives to park campgrounds: When main park locations fill up, Atherton Creek Campground provides a peaceful alternative. "Forget waking up at 2am to try and snag a site at Jenny Lake. This off-the-beaten-path campground in Teton NF only has 23 sites, with beautiful views of Lower Slide Lake and the mountains," advises Kate D.

What you should know

Bear safety requirements: The area has active bear populations requiring proper food storage. "The area is in bear country and we did see a bear. And there were obvious signs that the bares were in the ariea alot. When we saw the dear was near us there was also 3 rangers following it keeping the campers safe," explains Heather H. about her experience at Colter Bay.

Road conditions to remote sites: Some of the most scenic yurt camping near Moran, Wyoming requires careful driving. "The road leading to this campsite is rough and only gets tougher as you get closer. Beautiful, absolutely silent... but the road is not for the faint of heart or engine!" warns Bri about Crystal Creek Campground.

Seasonal limitations: Weather affects accessibility and camping comfort. "We arrived Friday afternoon around ~4pm and there were 4/10 spots open and by night I'm sure all the spots were taken," reports Sophia A., noting how quickly sites fill during peak season.

Tips for camping with families

Cabin alternatives: For families seeking more shelter than tents but a more rustic experience than hotels, yurt camping near Moran provides middle ground. "All basic spots were taken so I got the last little cabin a few days before arriving- this is a busy place! Spendy, but right in Grand Teton and with free hot showers and laundry," shares Paige P. about Headwaters Campground at Flagg Ranch.

Pet-friendly options: Some locations welcome family pets, expanding accommodation choices. "Pet friendly campsite and hiking!" reports Bethany W. about Teton Canyon, where families can bring their four-legged members.

Educational opportunities: Ranger-led programs engage children while teaching them about the environment. "We were able to use our active military ID for a discount at the campsite. There are large number of sites and you are assigned a spot as you pull up to the gate," notes Krissy P., highlighting discount opportunities for military families.

Tips from RVers

Overflow parking options: When campgrounds fill, some sites offer alternatives. "There is overflow parking nearby so if there are no sites available and you just need a place to park for the night there were several people who took advantage of that," explains Wyatt J. about Hatchet Campground, providing a backup plan for late arrivals.

Dump station locations: Plan for waste management with accessible dump stations. "The Shell station on Broadway also has fresh water and propane service but no longer offers a dump service," notes Wyatt J., providing practical RV maintenance information.

Seasonal water availability: Water systems shut down during off-season, requiring advance planning. "There are two water spigots in the center of the park that are also off during the off season, but there is a vault toilet available year round," shares Wyatt J., highlighting what remains accessible year-round versus seasonal amenities.
