Five stars - Grand Teton National Park is stunning…read more I visited during slow season - so there were activities not available yet like the Jenny Lake boat tour. But I still enjoyed myself as I was surrounded by breathtaking mountain scenery. I think I stopped at every overlook just to see the mountain range from different angles. My favorite spots were Oxbow Bend and Schwabacher Landing. Both places are great for viewing the sunrise. The wildlife is pretty active in the park; however, I did visit in spring when wildlife is the most active. I saw bears, moose, and bison. It was incredible. If you are into hiking, Grand Teton offers many hiking trails. Taggart Lake trail is one of the most popular ones and it is gorgeous. This is just a short review, there were many other things I enjoyed. Overall, an amazing experience.

A Place So Beautiful I Cried -- Again and Again…read more I'm not usually someone who cries on vacation. But on this trip? I cried. Repeatedly. Because Colter Bay was more beautiful, more peaceful, and more soul-filling than anything I expected. My husband and I came for a weekend on a friend's recommendation, and from the moment we arrived, I was overwhelmed. The cabins are rustic -- truly rustic -- with log walls, one bed, a small desk and chair, coffee, a simple bathroom, and an armoire. No TV, which was perfect for us, but worth noting if you're expecting one. Within minutes of checking in, we saw our first group of deer wandering between the cabins. And I cried. The cabins sit just steps from the marina, and the views of the Tetons are epic. Every direction looks like a postcard come to life. The kind of beauty that stops you in your tracks. And yes... I cried again. The Colter Bay restaurant is solid -- good food, reasonable prices, nothing fancy. My husband loved the game burgers. For something more upscale, we drove up to Jackson Lake Lodge and enjoyed a lovely dinner with stunning views. Colter Bay also has a wonderful, family-friendly beach with picnic tables and crystal-clear water. It's simple, peaceful, and absolutely spectacular. We loved it so much we booked two cabins for next year -- one for us, and one for our son's family of five. I already know I'm going to cry again the moment we arrive. If you're looking for a place where nature reaches straight into your chest and squeezes your heart (in the best way), this is it. Colter Bay is magic

At the last minute, I had tacked on an extra day and really wanted to do one night under the stars. So I booked a night here through Recreation.gov. Jenny Lake Campground is a really beautiful campground. The campground hosts were really nice and gave me lots of information about the area. I had limited gear because I flew in and they directed me to a couple spots where I could do some shopping for food and supplies. Jenny Lake Campground is a small 51 site campground that is a few hundred yards from the east shore of Jenny Lake. No trailers, campers, or generators are allowed. It is tent camping only which I loved because it made it so peaceful. Maximum per site is two tents, one vehicle, and six guests for up to seven nights. There are food storage lockers on hand because bear activity is frequent in this campground. I'm a big outdoorsman and really enjoyed my night camping here. It was nice and quiet and I had great views of the Grand Teton mountain range. It did get a little chilly overnight because it was raining when I arrived. But my overall experience was wonderful.

So dust off the old Kelty and prepare for a more primitive experience. No generators, no RV's, just tents. This is a very desired campground. Reservations are usually made well in advance. If you're flexible watch for cancelations. That's what we did. So one thing to be aware of is this is an area that is frequented by lots of wildlife. On our visit we saw deer and fox. But bears are around as well. So food must be kept in your vehicle or the provided metal storage box. Dishes are washed in camp and then you dump the dirty water and debris in the toilet. This is though if your are in one of the spots that's away from the single bathroom facility. Phone service is ok to poor to non existent depending on your carrier. I had an ATT phone and Verizon. Verizon is a no go. ATT had service in the campsites near the restroom. Most people (including myself), want to get away from the internet and phones. But if you need to be in contact for work or whatever plan ahead. Finally, this is a prime location in one of the more beautiful spots on earth. Staying here puts you right at the base of the Tetons and within walking distance of the Jenny Lake visitors center. Jackson is 30 min away and Yellowstone is 1.5 hrs or so. Sit back, relax and enjoy.

Paid $12 per adult (prices went up slightly this year but WELL worth it in my opinion). The gentleman who runs the place was incredibly kind and lent me his personal towel as I forgot to pack my own. The water temperature was 92 degrees. The pool was quiet, only a few families and couples. Probably the most unique thing we did on our vacation. Tips: - the last 10 miles of the road is unpaved through a mountain and quite bumpy - I get motion sickness so we drove quite slowly - bring your own towel

For an after hike spa and relaxation experience, Granite Springs Pool may be the spot for you…read more There are some great hikes in this area and afterwards a Granite Springs visit is a must. You'll travel south from Jackson to the Hoback Junction, traffic circle 3/4 turn. Take US 191 12 miles until you reach gravel/dirt Granite Creek Road taking a left. Do not go by the Yelp address listed as it's incorrect, and I haven't been able to find the specific address. Be prepared for an 11 mile bumpy ride while viewing gorgeous Granite Creek running through the Gros Ventura Mountains in the Bridger Teton National Forest. At the end of the road Granite Springs pool awaits you. Check for current pricing before you go, only open in summer (by car) and winter (by snowmobile, skis or dog sled). Also, important to note, you'll have no cell service within this area. Soak your cares away while enjoying the gorgeous Mountain View and the evergreen forest.

In other words, this creek is gorgeous--you must see it. I came to Jackson for a retreat over the weekend with Junior League CARE Fair directors and chairpersons. Every time we left and returned to our cabin, we got to enjoy this view. We even had the opportunity to walk alongside the creek. It was very easy and the view will vanish every worry you have. There are several well made bridges that you can walk/drive over as well. Area is very clean with crisp blue water. It didn't look too deep, but it was so perfect that to even dip my feet in the water seemed offensive to mother nature. Not to say I wasn't tempted. Overall, I probably wouldn't drive 5 hours just for this one creek, but the surrounding contains so many scenic opportunities that you have to hit up this place if you're in the area. You just have to. Happy travels, my Yelpers!

Situated deep within the Gros Ventre Mountains east of Jackson and Hoback Junction, Granite Creek -…read morethe campground, the waterfall, and the hot springs - are pure Wyoming outdoors magic. Sure, the mountains here don't captivate you with their granite-tipped titillation, and there aren't the glacial lakes that you'll be mesmerized by in Grand Teton National Park, nor will you mistake this area for the magnificent Wind River Mountains, the Bighorns, or the Snowy Range, but my oh my, Granite Creek is one pretty, pretty piece of nature. The USFS campground is one of the best I've found in the northern Rockies, with great sites overlooking the creek and sheltered by pines and awash in wildflowers from mid-June to August. The Granite Creek Falls are powerful to behold: not ethereal like Yosemite or awesome like Niagra or Multnomah, but what they lack in vertical elevation and volume they make up for in up-close-and-personal intimacy. You can literally dip your toes in the raging white torrents that fall from above into a creek that is so pure and clean that moose, elk, bear, and cranes simply love to stay here. You'll also find a superb CCC hot springs up the road, where you and your friends/family can soak in bliss while enjoying easy access to the Gros Ventre wilderness a mere mile or so up the main trail that follows the creek to its source. If you are in the Jackson Hole area, a side trip to Granite Creek - on dirt and gravel roads well maintained by the Forest Service - offers you another glance at Wyoming's wild lands that you won't find at Grand Teton. The falls are a great side trip, as are the hot springs, and the campground is well suited for car campers and RVers alike. All in all, this is a part of the Cowboy State that I never tire of seeing, season in, season out. Who needs to stay in Jackson for hundreds of bucks when affordable, adorable places like this are so close and enticing?

The camp is great though definitely expect rustic accommodations with the exception of the beds, which are (heavenly) real mattresses. The horses and ride were great - very well-mannered horses and a wonderful evening ride through wildflower-filled mountain meadows, creeks, and up and down reasonably challenging terrain. What my daughter (and I) loved most were the people - Sam was a great cook and friendly guide and our other guide Mariah was incredibly patient with my daughter's barrage of questions and let her help put away tack and feed the horses after the ride. A truly memorable Wyoming experience with many great memories.

It's also just down the road from the entrance to Yellowstone so it's easy to make this horseback riding adventure one of the stops on your trip!

Reservations. There is high demand for all of Yellowstone's campgrounds, so make your reservations…read moreearly! We were able to get reservations through recreation.com for two consecutive nights at Lewis Lake for late Sept, 2024 about a month out -- but they were for two different sites. Location. We visited Grand Teton National Park immediately before coming into Yellowstone (YS) so, being on the southern entrance to YS, Lewis Lake was convenient for our first night in YS. However, we underestimated the size of YS, and Lewis Lake was about an hour or more from other major attractions (Old Faithful, Mammoth, canyons and waterfalls), etc). The campground is at an elevation of 7,800'. It is not lakefront, but the lake and boat ramp were only a short walking distance away. Sites. The campground is intended for vehicles 25' or under. Most of the campers while we were there were in Class B RVs or tents. The sites were quite close together, which encouraged some conversation amongst campers but trees also provided some privacy. Each site had a picnic table, fire ring (but fires weren't allowed), and a bear box. There are shared vault toilets, water spigots, and a trash receptacle. The campground doesn't have showers, a dump station, strong cell signals, nor much open sun for solar panels. Finally, park staff were friendly and efficient, and made sure to ensure that campers were aware of the need to be "bear aware." The campground was quiet. And, it was a great value at $20/night without a reservation fee. Using my husband's NPS Interagency Senior Pass brought the fee down to only $10/night.

Lewis Lake Review We stayed here for two nights in September…read more2020. The check in process is first come first served. You arrive at the campground and grab a reservation slip near the entrance and then drive around looking for an open campsite or a marker that has the current date, meaning someone will be checking out later that day (check out is at 10am). Once you get a spot, fill out the bottom portion of the reservation slip with your car information and other details about the length of your stay. Place the bottom part on the marker and drop off some chairs to visibly reserve the site. Then, drive down to the entrance and fill out the rest of the slip with information and put exact cash in the envelope before dropping it in the mailbox. We arrived close to 8:45am on a Thursday and snagged one of the very last spots. It was a bit stressful if I'm being honest as you see other cars driving around and people running around trying to get a spot before you. We stayed at site A-74 which felt fairly private. The sites include a picnic table, fire pit, and bear box. I wouldn't recommend it if you have a large vehicle as parking was tight at this particular location. Also, the area to pitch your tent was on a slight hill. There are vault toilets nearby and a spigot for potable water close to the end of the A Loop. Note, there is no cell service in this area (which is pretty much true for most of the entire park). It is somewhat a far drive from most of the main attractions in the park, but a good spot if you're coming or going to Grand Teton.
