Colter Bay Campground
Hosted by National Park Service
New listing
The vast Colter Bay Campground at Colter Bay Village is set amidst towering lodgepole pines just a short, picturesque stroll away from Jackson Lake, within walking distance of numerous trails. From the lakeshore, visitors will have views across Jackson Lake to Mount Moran and the northern end of the Teton Range. The campground is open from mid-May to late-September and tends to fill up quickly. The campground offers camping for tents and dry camping for RVs; full hookup RV sites are at the separate Colter Bay RV Park. There are 338 individual campsites, 12 large group sites, 10 hiker-bicycler sites, and 13 electric-only ADA-accessible sites. Generators are only permitted in loops H, J, K, M, O and the group sites, between 6am and 10pm. All sites include a picnic table, a fire pit with metal fire grate, bear-proof food storage lockers, and access to nearby water spigots and flush toilets, with laundry and showers available for an additional fee. There is a complimentary RV dump station and potable water filling station, and propane is available for purchase at the nearby RV Park. The 13 ADA-compliant campsites have accessible picnic tables and paved sites; loop roads are paved and mostly level with some sloping incline and decline, restrooms are partially accessible, and accessible showers are available at the launderette. Routes to the amphitheater are paved but on a sloping incline/decline. Colter Bay Village offers laundry facilities, showers, restaurants and a grocery store, as well as a marina, gift shop, visitor center, and horse corrals. Firewood, food, ice and camping supplies can be purchased at the grocery store and adjacent gift shop, and complimentary WiFi/internet service is available at the restaurants, activities desk, launderette, and stores. The Colter Bay Visitor Center is home to the David T. Vernon Indian artifacts collection, and offers daily ranger-led programs including a hike to Swan Lake, a lakeshore stroll, a tipi demonstration, wildlife watches, and evening programs. Visitors can enjoy hiking, kayaking and canoeing, horseback riding, fishing, swimming and beach-going, and lake cruises, with canoes, kayaks and motor boats available to rent from the Colter Bay Marina. Several easy to moderate hiking trails leave from Colter Bay, whether a leisurely stroll along the lakeshore, a walk to Swan Lake and Heron Pond for birdwatching and wildlife sightings, or a more challenging outing to Hermitage Point. Colter Bay is home to black and grizzly bears, moose, deer, elk and other large animals, as well as marmots, foxes, and bald eagles; bears are often seen on trails and in the developed areas, so be prepared for an animal encounter. Farther afield, visitors can take a self-guided tour of Grand Teton via the 43-mile Scenic Loop Drive, offering an opportunity to photograph the famous landscape and local wildlife. Make sure you stop at the historic Jackson Lake Lodge for its famous huckleberry milkshakes and spectacular Teton views through 60-foot tall wall-to-wall windows. A short drive from Jenny Lake is the town of Jackson, where you can visit the National Museum of Wildlife Art just north of town, walk under the famous giant elk antler archway in town center, attend the Jackson Hole Rodeo, browse local shops, or dine at one of the many restaurants.
