Colter Bay Campground is a wooded wonder on the shores of Jackson Lake.

There’s plenty of roomy, reservable spots for RV’s, but tent campers are first-come, first-served. We hear this shady, rustic campground rarely fills up, and spots are usually still available late into the afternoon. Hop on over to the visitors center from camp to plan your day’s excursions, or hit up the grocery store for afternoon ice cream. With fire pits, picnic tables, and nearby restrooms and pay showers, you’ll have all you need right inside the park to make the most of your Grand Teton adventure.

Old growth aspen forest camp

1 site · RV8 acres · Tetonia, ID
Learn more about this land:This isn't a fancy retreat or crowded campground. Its just my personal little slice of heaven that i want to share with people. There is a RV pad set to park a large camper or van on as well as a grassy meadow that would be very comfortable for a smaller camper or 4WD van. The property is a shady thick aspen forest with occasional clearings and undeveloped game trails. You can expect to see wildlife if you stay for very long at all. It's very common to see moose, rabbits, foxes, deer and all kinds of birds frolicking in the woods. The property is also about a 2 mile drive from 2 different national forest access areas both offering unique hiking, fishing, off roading , skiing, and exploring. Also, grand Targhee ski resort is only a 20 minute drive from the house. The Teton river " 30 minutes away" has world class fishing for everyone from kids to serious fly fisherman. We have 3 friendly labrador muts living on the property so if you have dogs that like to play in the woods and are friendly to other dogs, bring them! Campfires are not out of the question but are extremely dependent on weather conditions.

Wildwood Camp on Fall River

2 sites · RVs, Tents9 acres · Ashton, ID
Welcome to the breathtaking Fall River, nestled in the majestic shadow of the Teton Mountains! For generations, this stunning location has been a beloved destination for fishing and camping enthusiasts. We at Wildwood Camp on Fall River have taken it upon ourselves to adopt and protect this natural wonder from any harmful development or closure. By choosing to stay here, you are directly contributing to the preservation of this small, yet incredibly beautiful piece of East Idaho. Our private 9-acre retreat boasts an impressive 600 feet of riverfront along the Fall River, whose wild and pristine waters have their origin just 30 miles away in Yellowstone Park, providing an unparalleled opportunity for fishing for its native Yellowstone cutthroat trout just a short cast from your tent. Don't worry about licenses, as they can easily be obtained online or just a short 5-mile drive away in the charming town of Ashton. The surrounding area is teeming with wildlife throughout the year. Keep your eyes peeled for majestic deer, stately moose, soaring bald eagles, and graceful osprey diving into the river for trout. You may also encounter playful beavers, elegant waterfowl, and the occasional night owl, and the occasional river otter. If you're an RV enthusiast, there's a convenient dump station nearby. And for those who enjoy a round of golf, there are many excellent golf courses nearby. However, if relaxation is what you seek, simply unwind by dipping your feet into the crystal-clear waters of the Fall River and let the soothing sounds of flowing water serenade you. Please note that the river levels may vary throughout the season, adding to the ever-changing beauty of this enchanting land. So, what are you waiting for? Come and experience the wonders of Wildwood Camp on Fall River. Indulge in nature's splendor, create lasting memories, and be a part of the preservation effort. Start your adventure with us today!

**CAUTION STAFF STEALS FROM CAMPS*****CAUTION STAFF STEALS FROM CAMPS*** Dropped off my cooler at my campground in a bear box. Came back from hike and my cooler packed with food for week was stolen out of bear box. Asked nearby campers who witnessed staff taking cooler. Contacted security/ staff and was brushed off. Got local police involved and the next day cooler was returned empty. Don’t make the same mistake we did. Always lock your stuff up at this campsite and do not trust the staff/ security. Thank you colter bay staff for ruining our trip.

This is a great campground. My daughter and I camped in a campervan this past week (June 2020) and Coulter bay was a favorite. Honestly I wasn't expecting much but the sites were excellent. Clean bathrooms and great staff. If you are tent or small trailer try to get in the I loop as it is a 2 minute walk to Lake Jackson. Pleasently suprised by this. It is the closest open campground in Northern Teton (Lizard creek was closed).

Portions of this very large campground are adjacent to the shore of Jackson Lake so it's easy to access and hike the Lakeshore Trail (2 mile loop trail). The hike affords views of the mountains with a stunning lake in the forefront. Jackson Lake has a swimming area and even a marina; both of which we haven’t yet experienced in a national park before. As a result, the park has almost a resort town feel with all the swimming and boating.

We were uncertain about the nightly temperatures here, because I remembered freezing as a child. So we stayed in their tent cabins, which have a built in wood burning stove. These were very nice and I would recommend them if cold nights are not your thing. Do keep in mind that once the fire goes out, that it will be cold, so still bring your warmest sleeping bags. The bathrooms were perfectly acceptable and had dishwashing sinks. Colter Bay Village has just about every convenience you could want. They have a post office, showers, laundry, grocery, and 2 restaurants...one casual and one fancier. Due to all the wildfires in the northwest, out of the 4 days we were there, we could only see the mountains for about 4 hours, unless we were hiking inside them such as Cascade Canyon. Highly recommend Cascade Canyon for hiking!

Bring bug spray during the summer, as the mosquitoes are giant and aggressive, but the views and adventure is worth it! I highly recommended renting a canoe or kayak for a few hours and visiting some of the many islands on Jackson Lake.

This is hands down the most fun, beautiful, perfectly-placed campsight I have ever been to. Enjoyed my morning hike to the crystal clear water to take a freezing bath and was able to set up the most enjoyable hammock/tent/breakfast table in all the camping lands. I will be back very soon. Also cannot fail to mention that the bathroom facilities are great and proximity to Jackson is nice if you feel like braving the town.
