Staying At Colter Bay Campground In Grand Teton National Park

Grand Teton National Park is one of the largest and most popular national parks in the country.

The park features a network of eight campgrounds dispersed throughout its borders to accommodate the large number of visitors it receives each year.

 

During our visit this year we spent five nights at Colter Bay Campground.

On a previous visit, we stayed at Signal Mountain and Gros Ventre. Click on their names to read posts about our experience camping there.

The campground has 17 loops which include 324 individual campsites and 10 large group sites Each site is equipped with a picnic table, a fire pit, and a bear box for food storage.

Restroom facilities are spread throughout the campground as well as trashcans to dispose of your trash properly.

 

The price is $59 a night for non-electric sites. Some sites have electric hook-ups which cost $80 a night. Group sites and hiker/bicyclist sites are also available.

All sites require reservations which you can make on recreation.gov.

Notably, the campground is only open mid-May to late-September due to adverse weather conditions. Camping allowances are capped at 14 days. Campsite occupancy is limited to six people per site.

 

Check-out time is 11 am and check-in time begins at noon. Quiet hours are strictly enforced from 10 pm until 6 am. About half of the loops do not allow generators so read site descriptions closely when making reservations.

Also, read site lengths closely when making reservations. Most of these spots are pull-thru and right on top of each other.

New cell phone towers were recently put in so we had great service on AT&T and Verizon during our stay.

Pets are allowed as long as they are properly leashed and please pick up after them.

 

At the front of the campground, a dump station and a water fill station facilitate campers’ needs.

At the nearby Colter Bay Village they have pay showers and laundry facilities that we took full advantage of during our visit.

You can also find souvenir shops, a visitor center, hikes, and a boat ramp to Jackson Lake in the village.

The loops on the left side of the campground have trails on the end of them and a small hike takes you to the shores of Jackson Lake.

We headed down there a couple of times to dip our toes in the chilly water and enjoy the views.

 

Colter Bay Campground is a nice little campground and a great place to stay during your visit to Grand Teton National Park.
