"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."
"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."
"Sites are gravel with picnic tables & fire pits. Friendly staff. Site maintenance very helpful. Checked on us within 30 min of set up. Mowed our site for us. So we could see the Beagle!!"
"Mostly 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."
"This campground has a blend of cabins mixed with the RV sites so it has a ton of added value with the heated pool/hottub, laundry, showers looked decent and my personal favorite… they have little s’more"
"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."
$10 - $40 / night
"We were nervous driving from Westgate Yellowstone to this campground not knowing if any sites would be available as this is a first come first served campground."
"Stunning views, peaceful location. Our site was a little secluded, Boondocking with lake views. 5 miles up was Crystal Creek Campground which was a completely different feel."
$79 - $209 / night

$105 / night
"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. "
"Sites are close but plenty of trees around for privacy. Bathrooms are flush with running water. Paid showers and laundry by visitors center."
"Very close to Victor Idaho which has great food options. It’s a very simple campground with very few amenities. Kids fishing pond nearby."
"Set up camp. Very quiet. Minimal road noise. Everyone is spread out. Main issue—can’t really tell how far the reservoir tide will come up."
"This is a great wide open site with excellent views and an added bonus of a brewery in walking distance."
LegendColter 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.
ScoutWe 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.
ScoutGreat 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.
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.
GuideGreat 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.
GuideAbsolutely 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.
RangerIn GT National Park, about 20 miles from S entrance to Yellowstone, very busy sites are not much, parking for rv and vehicles are along road tents can be put up further from road, bear boxes provided, picnic tables n fire pits, showers r in laundry room up by main stores not very close to camp sites, rode bike up to stores, beach and restaurants, there is a small grocery store on site with gift shop, this park is ran by Vail Resorts for the National Park Service, so you are in a National Park, follow fire restrictions closely.
GuideThis campground features nine small-ish sites through the center section of the woods with two new larger sites right by the highway. The 2 newer sites have water and electric, but I believe it's only during the active season as they were not available when we stayed. Most are back in however there are a few that are pull through. If you depend on solar you're going to have a lot of shading in this park. It is free in the off-season, we stayed the first week of October with no reservations required. 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. In the center of the park are some tent usable sites. During season there's trash service but it is also padlocked shut during the off-season. Each site does feature a bear resistant food enclosure and a nice picnic table. The view of the Stars here is phenomenal. Just another side of the highway is a babbling Creek that you get to listen to. We stayed at a site near the highway but the highway noise really did not bother us. 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. Just up the road from this campground are some dispersed camping options which are free year round. The park ranger station is about a quarter mile from the entrance and there's also a gas station within a half mile of the entrance. We found The Virginian RV park in Jackson hole to be a good place to dump and refill for a modest fee of $10. The Shell station on Broadway also has fresh water and propane service but no longer offers a dump service.
LegendThis was our second summer camping around the the country for 40 days, and the second summer that we finished our trip in Colter Bay. Colter Bay is a great place to kick back and unwind. We choose these tent-cabins because they are reservable whereas the campground is first-come first-serve. Honestly though, they are really fun. The area is close to horse corrals, a short walk to Colter Village, the visitor center, the marina, the boat ramp, some hiking trails, and the swim beach beach on Jackson lake. The village has a gift shop, an excellent market/grocery, two restaurants, a laundromat, and showers that cost a little less than $5 each, but are not timed. There is public WiFi at the village and campers can charge in the laundromat. There are plumbed bathrooms close in the campground and a dishwashing sink. Every site has a bear box. The bear boxes do get hot in the sun and some ingenious campers bring reflective covers to o keep their box cool.
