Traveler
We moved for one night to the RV side with full hook ups. The sites are level, long, quite, and nicely spaced out. Well worth the money, close to the lake. There are NO fire rings, only propane fires are allowed in the RV park.
RangerI tried to reserve the site at the rv park right at the time the reservations opened and I ended up getting the only spot open in the non full hook up side. About two weeks prior to our visit, I checked and someone canceled so we were able to get an end spot with full hook ups. There is a lot to do at this campground. We brought and inflatable kayak that had to be inspected and paid a grand Teton permit to use. We attended the 9pm talk with a ranger. We only had two full days there but it was nice. Jackson is about an hour away. We also did a hike with a ranger.
RangerAwesome campground right in the park. We stayed 5 nights and really enjoyed it. Full hook ups yet still plenty of trees and space to where it felt like a national park site and not like an RV park. Lots of amenities grocery store, laundry with free WiFi, showers, restaurant, gas/diesel near by. Was a short walk to Jackson lake which was beautiful. We will definitely be back!
Guide
We saw this campground on Dyrt on our trip through Wyoming to Teton National Park and decided to stay for a night or two. Glad we did! Actually ended up spending 5 nights. Lots of hiking trails, beautiful views, very clean and well dispersed sites. There are electrical hookups in loop A and loop B is primitive. Easy access for RV/Trailer camping and plenty of tent sites as well. First come first serve, but I don’t it gets much use as it is so close to most people’s destination of Yellowstone that they just drive on by. Too bad for them! We had the whole place to ourselves for several nights. Nice waterfall to view also. We will be back!
Ranger
This campground has pros and cons. It lacks trees, but has neat craggy rock formations surrounding it. There are both sites with and without RV hookups and a river flows past the campground. From the campground it's only about a 15 minute drive to the east gate of Yellowstone National Park. In the other direction, Cody, WY and its world-class museum are about a 45 minute drive.
TravelerColter Bay is my favorite.
I've stayed in the cabins here 3 years in a row and now the camping sites this year (not RV resort) and I cannot get enough of this place.
Camping amenities are nothing fancy, nor are they bad. The bathrooms next to the sites were clean and flush which was a pleasant surprise.
The site was somewhat level, could have used blocks but we are in a van and only stayed two nights, so it was not that big of a deal.
Showers in the "Launderette and Showers" were decently clean, nothing to complain about aside from the odd closing at 8pm. (Not really a big deal, just need to plan around it if showers are a part of a nightly routine)
Traveler
After spending a few nights in generic RV parks Atherton Creek is a breath of fresh air. I think there is only one or two full hookup sites available so the rest of the sites are just campsites.
The views of the lake are wonderful, the host is helpful and the campground is quite small. Despite its limited number of sites we had no problem finding a prime site. This is due to the somewhat, out of the way, location. The road is bumpy but paved.
Highly recommended.
Traveler
We stayed here for a few days while visiting Cody, Yellowstone and The Tetons. They give a Good Sam discount and Military Discount. Nice folks who run the place. Clean. Amenities. Close to everything to do in town. Full hookups. Would stay again. Not crowded although full so easy to get around. There aren’t really any trees in the park so don’t expect shade but other than that great place. We did look around at the other campgrounds while we were in town and were not impressed.
Ranger
Nice park no full hook ups, and not many sites with water so plan with time.
GuideSmall sites but full hook up and just minutes walk to the lodge and Jackson lake.
Scout
Very friendly staff. There are full hookups but no other services. Perfect for RVs. The spot is quiet and spacious.
GuideThis is a great full hook up campground inside the national park. Bathhouses were clean and the campground is really quiet. The stars at night are phenomenal and we can’t wait to come back
LegendLocation was great to do anything you want to do and Cody, (because Cody is such a small town.)
There is grass and trees (yay shade!) and the lots were big and spacious enough. The owner intentionally spaces you out from your neighbor to give some privacy which is super nice. The lot looks newly refinished in terms of asphalt. Full hookups and picnic tables.
Our site was in the far corner close to the road and field, but traffic wasn’t too loud, and it felt pretty secluded. We could even walk to a grocery store or several fast food/ food truck options. Sites were almost level!
The RV park has laundry and bathrooms both which works just fine. The hot water worked well. Not great Verizon or ATT service, but the WiFi worked well the whole time. You just have to reconnect every time you idle.
While not on the official rodeo bus pick up sheet, we called and asked if they could pick us up and they did without any issue.
Great interactions with staff. Overall, easy and good stay. 5/5 from us!
Traveler
We stopped here after exiting Yellowstone to rest and eat and be on the road early the next day. The restaurant at the lodge was fantastic! Our campsite was lovely with full hook ups but it was packed and the smoke from the campfires were a bit bothersome for my asthmatic family member. Beautiful trails to walk through meadows as well.
Traveler
Beautiful 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.
Scout
We called & were lucky to get one of the last spots for the night with full hook ups. The hosts were super friendly. The restrooms were spotless & spacious- lots of attention to detail with clothes hooks & benches. The grounds were very clean & well kept. They even have a leash free clean dog park. We couldn’t have asked for a better one night stay!
ScoutCame in 10 minutes before the office closed (9pm) and the host was super friendly and welcoming. A full hook up pull thru was $42 after tax. The park was extremely clean. The bathrooms were open until 1am and the showers were free and very clean. There wasn’t a whole lot to see but park is extremely short walking distance to a burger king.
LegendWe spent 9 nights in Colter Bay RV park in a 30 ft travel trailer. It is a fairly large RV park, but still an easy walk from laundry, the store, the lake, and the visitor center. The sites were fairly level (the whole campground is on a downhill grade to the lake) and nicely spaced. We enjoyed being in the park, though on the north side it was a bit of a drive to Jenny Lake and Jackson. Overall, a pleasant experience and I would recommend.
GuideVery clean friendly spot with full hook ups. Not much green space at all but it was great for our overnight spot before heading into Yellowstone. Quite a bit of road noise, even through the night. I would stay again when I come back to the area. One other point of concern is that the campground waters every night, with very hard water that leaves tough to remove spots on you camper and vehicle. Get them off ASAP.
LegendCentrally located between Yellowstone national park in the grand Teton national Park this campground really has it all.
OK, there’s no Wi-Fi but there is laundry with a change machine, they have showers with warm water and toilets, A convenience store with groceries and a gift shop, gas station, and even a restaurant.
The sites are roomy enough not too close to your neighbor. Each site is full hook up and a pull through. ATT and Verizon service worked well.
GuideGreat gravel campground with level ground for RV parking. The host is very nice and welcoming, views are amazing, and the facility is super clean! Best bathroom/shower I have ever used. Fenced in dog area was great and allowed my two dogs to stretch their legs off leash. All hookups available for RV at your site. I highly recommend staying here! It was perfect for our stop to the Teton National Park 1.5 hrs away. Pricing was more expensive than what was listed, but offered at 10% military discount!
LegendStayed here with no reservation in October but based on location, cost and facility would not recommend for summer - would make reservation. The sites are mostly pull through and are full hook up. The laundry room is very clean. It is attached to the bathroom/shower house. The location is very close to the town of Cody and grocery stores and gas stations. We have Verizon and T-Mobile and both had good service. WIFi is also provided. There is a small market and they sell propane.
Be sure to visit town and the Irma Hotel and the Buffalo Bill Center of the West.
LegendWow I have fallen in love with this campground. We stayed in the Rv area with full hook-ups and a good sized site which was gravel with a picnic bench and surrounded by shade. There was no fire pit but they did offer some close to the beach which is a minute away from our campsite. The only WiFi and cell service is at the bar and laundry area but it’s kind of nice to just step away from them. There is a gift shop, grocery store, laundry with showers, visitor center, gas station, propane fill, pizza parlor(yummy), bar/restaurant, and a marina offering boat and kayak rentals(1st come 1st serve). There are tons of activities to do in the area along with hiking trails, rentals, guided fishing, wildlife viewing, photo ops everywhere and A FAMILY OF BLACK BEARS that frequent the area. There is also jr ranger classes and religious services on Sunday. Our family truly enjoyed our stay and would come again
TravelerThis is an interesting place, right close to town, but isolated in a draw, so feels like you’re out in the boonies. Stars at night are beautiful with little light pollution. Full hook ups, but we were in a site that they tell you on the website has low water pressure so we knew. The sites that are lower have better pressure, I guess. I had loaded our tank before staying anyway, so no big deal. We were in site 1a, which was a pull through site. The back in sites have plenty of room to back into, so when we go again I would probably reserve one of those instead. There is access to trails to the back country to the north, so a great place to bring an ATV and explore.
No trees or grass, but not a big deal to us. The landscape is scenic. Their website says the scenery from 1a is not as good as the other sites, but we liked it.
RangerCoulter Bay Campground is located on Jackson Lake just across from the Grand Tetons. It an incredibly beautiful place to camp.
The camp grounds are a bit tight especially if you stay in the RV Park. We stayed in the campsite side and all the sites are either campsite or pull-through for RV.
If you're an RV'r take note: not all sites are created equal so make sure your rig will fit on the site that you reserve.
Dump stations are clean and well maintained as are the sites. If you get a site with hook-ups be very careful about how you back-in so the you don't damage the utilities.
This is a very popular RV park and, besides it's idyllic beauty it has Cabins, a general store, a convenience store with gas, there's a propane refill station, showers and a laundry-mat, as well as a restaurant on site.
... and there are lots of great hiking trails and opportunities for taking great photos.
All-in-all you and your family are really going to love this campground.
P.S Did I mention that its only 18min to the south entrance to Yellowstone and even more idyllic beauty? ... yeah you gotta go there!
Guide
Some of the best views of the Tetons over Jackson Lake are to be had here. The campground stays pretty quiet and has some nice trails to the lake. You are most likely going to see wildlife here. The bathrooms are nice but be prepared to pay. Showers are not free. They wanted $6 for 7 minutes. I’d rather swim in the cold lake. For a non-electric site it was $33 and hookups were an extra $22. We love the Tetons and I understand the amount of people here but this is pricey for the accommodations. We have stayed cheaper in nice RV parks near the beach in resort towns. Our van is now too large to stay at the Jenny Lake campground. Next time we will be likely staying in nearby forest service access areas. We did enjoy the views and trails though.
TravelerThis was by far our favorite RV park on our recent trip out west. We had a spot on the outer circle and the lots were huge and they backed up to a field or the river which was a great view. The facilities were clean and managed well. We didn’t try the restaurant so we can talk to that but it looked nice. The only drawback to this RV park how far from Yellowstone it is. It’s 35+ minutes from the East entrance which is already an hour away from most of Yellowstone’s major places to visit but we enjoyed it immensely.
