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.

The twinkling accent lights are warm and inviting as you enter the front door/porch. The interior is cozy and comfortable, and once you walk a little further in, you see the amazing dining area complete with a sitting place next to the fire, and big comfy leather chairs with western style decor. This place is a must-experience because of the atmosphere alone! The food is excellent, and they offer a great gluten free options. The 3-4 course option is perfect if you're looking to splurge a little. Everything was superb, the prices are spot on, the food maybe a bit higher but definitely worth it--you're probably on vacation, right? Bar was same prices as most places, but with an exquisite fireplace and mountain backdrop. Can't beat it around these parts--it's like its straight out of a movie. Highly recommended.

**Excellent Stay at Jackson Lake Lodge**…read more We had a wonderful stay at Jackson Lake Lodge and would definitely return. The room was comfortable and well-equipped, featuring very nice beds, a dresser, closet, mini-fridge, alarm clock, and the convenience of having both a sink in the bathroom and another in the main room. The nearby ice machine was an added bonus. The shower was excellent, with great water pressure and quality toiletries including shampoo and body wash. After long days exploring the park, it was the perfect place to relax and recharge. The lodge itself is stunning, with breathtaking views of the Tetons from many areas of the property. We enjoyed spending time at the onsite bar, where the **"399" cocktail, named after the famous Grizzly 399, was a fun and memorable touch that connected us to the area's wildlife history.** One of the best features of the lodge is its location. Several hiking trails begin right from the property, making it easy to step outside and enjoy the beauty of Grand Teton National Park without having to get back in the car. We also enjoyed the onsite dining options. The restaurant was excellent, with no waiting for a table during our stay. The dining room's layout was thoughtfully designed, allowing for attentive, efficient service and a relaxed atmosphere. Between the great food, outstanding views, and friendly service, dining at the lodge was one of the highlights of our visit. Overall, Jackson Lake Lodge offers comfort, convenience, incredible scenery, and a true sense of place. Between the beautiful views, comfortable accommodations, great amenities, and unique touches like the 399 cocktail, it was a highlight of our trip. Highly recommended!

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

We had to go to another area to pick up our lift tickets. That also was a quick process. We came on a pretty busy day. Some of the lines were a bit long but they kept them moving. The slopes were well groomed and great fun to ski. If you plan on parking close you will be charged a hefty fee to do so. But the lots are super close and convenient. We look forward to coming back.

The Aerial Tram entrance is located just above the information center. After passing through the souvenir shop, turn right and you will find The Burger on your left and Sweetwater Gondola on your right. Your ticket for the Aerial Tram also grants you access to Bridger Gondola and Sweetwater Gondola. However, if you are on a tight schedule, I would highly recommend prioritizing the Aerial Tram. The other two gondolas can be skipped if time is limited. I know that the website is super hard to navigate, and I hope the following information are helpful. There are three gondolas at the resort: 1. Bridger Gondola - Takes you to the bike park and a small restaurant. 2. Sweetwater Gondola - Serves the mid-mountain terrain and takes you to Piste Mountain Bistro. 3. Aerial Tram - Brings you to the highest observation point with stunning views, access to hiking trails, and Corbet's Cabin (home of the famous waffles). Corbet's Cabin and Piste Mountain Bistro will be reviewed separately in upcoming posts

Coming from Hawaii, it is cold for us at its summer nights when the temperature gets into the 50's. But heater is available in the room. The surround forest is beautiful and tranquil. On our daily short walks to the dining room, we were awarded with the fragrant fresh pine tree forest smell, the beautiful view of the Grand Teton Mountain range, and a well designed delicious 5-course meal. The booking includes free breakfast and free dinner. It also includes horse riding around the Jenny lake, free use of the well maintained beach cruisers. The cabin we are in has a wall that is shared by a neighbor. But there are more expensive individuel cabins that are not shared. The location is ideal as it is a short bike ride to the Jenny Lake Visiter Center, it also offers the best wide and well maintained bike route, separate from cars. It is also close the famous hike to Inspiration Point and many more trails. In the end, this was the highlight of our trip. Very expensive, but it you can afford it, go for it!
