Hard to obtain reservations. So glad we booked this months ago during winter. Even then, to get a decent number of nights in the same space, we had to grab weekday summer dates as the last available block of time available.
Upon arrival, our Apple GPS guided us easily into the correct driveway for the RV park entrance. It can be confusing as the entrance is behind the main entrance for the Colter Bay recreation area. This location is so convenient. Everything you need is within walking distance. They have a grocery, gift shop, coffee stand, hot food deli, essentials store all under one roof. A restroom with showers (pay extra) and a 24 hr laundry room adjacent to the store. Then down the parking lot is a restaurant, fast casual pizza place, visitors center, and marina. A swimming beach and hiking trails in the area round this place out to days of fun in one stop.
As for the RV park, all sites have full hookups with pull through sites. The sites are staggered so you don't have a direct view of your neighbor's sewer line. Many trees in this forested campsite make it a perfect place to put up a hammock. The campsite has a bathroom within each section of sites. Bring bear spray and lots of bug spray. Bugs bite all day long and some of us were covered from hands to feet. Watch out for a number of possible wild animals here such as elk, deer, moose, and bears. They post the number of animals recently hit by cars in the area. Slow down when driving anywhere in the park. There is a mama bear with cubs that lives nearby so food storage safety is high priority.
There are many places to ride bikes in the Colter Bay Village. There is a swimming beach across the road from the campground which is the perfect place to launch your own paddle-board or kayak. Many hiking trails all around.
I highly suggest bringing a hammock, bike, and any thing you like to use to go out on Jackson Lake. Or you can rent a boat to capture all the beauty of this place.
If you want to do Yellowstone as a day trip but leave your RV in this campsite it's doable. Allow at least 90 minutes to get to the first point of interest in Yellowstone. We noticed a lot of our neighbors did this. We opted to enjoy the Tetons for our entire 4 day stay in Colter Bay. There is so much beauty and things to see right there. Highly recommend driving out to see some of the lodges within Grand Teton NP as well. read more
