A Great Place To Be In Nature and Have Conveniences.

We camped at the campground. The place is huge, but you can still have some privacy. Bear warnings... read more

We drove from Yellowstone to Colter Bay. It was very nice, clean, and comfortable. We stayed in the RV campgrounds. We wanted to do the boat ride, but it was unavailable. Good RV sight.

My family booked the tent cabins at Colter Bay. It was a great experience. Quiet, clean and well maintained. The host and hostess were very kind and helpful. Check in was very easy and quick. My kids and husband enjoyed the camping experience.

We took our kids, grand and great grandkids to the Tetons and Yellowstone and found a great place, Colter Bay Village. A great place to stay, the breakfast trail/wagon ride was fantastic with the only negative being you had to wait until 7:00-7:30 am for coffee. The store has a great deli and gift shop.

We have started at the cabins at Colter Bay 4 times over the past 15 years. The cabins are historic (they are real cabins that were moved and the updated with a heater and plumbing--they tend to be very dark too) and have a lot of rustic charm. This is not made up rustic charm, this is actual rustic charm. That includes critters. In our times at Colter Bay, we have had chipmunks, bats, and mice. This time it was a mouse who we killed with a trap. We came back from a ranger talk and the little guy was dead next to the bed. It should be noted that this is typical. My wife spent two hours doing computer work in the cabin office (they have WiFi there) and reported a stream of folks coming in with critter stories. So why stay at Colter Bay cabins? The location is wonderful. Nestled near the lake, you can easily walk to to the bay or to the store, restaurants, ranger talks and such. There are also some nice hiking trails right at Colter Bay. The longer trail was closed when we were there due to Grizzly Bear activity, but we saw two Trumpeter Swans on the shorter trail. When you stay at Colter Bay, you also can use the nice outdoor pool at Jackson Lake Lodge a few miles down the road. It is a unique pool atmosphere with a nice food and drink service, but when we were there is was closed for the first day due to a filter problem. We went there two days later and it had been refilled with ice cold Tetons water. I was determined to swim though, and swam until I could not feel my fingers and then decided I should get out. But back to Colter Bay cabins. I am only rating them Average because over the years they have gotten more expensive and the service has gone down a bit. One day they forgot to do the housekeeping. GTLC knocked $5.00 off the bill. Maybe they usually offer a bigger credit, but in our case they had to take the cost of the mouse trap into account.

This is actually a great spot if you wish to take a camp, even better if you wish to hike, and if you head to the marina, you will have opportunity to rent kayaks and boats to go out on the water. Actually, I'm sure the water activities are the best highlight of the village, so make sure you do one of them. The backdrop is absolutely gorgeous in this location. I like to think of it as a better alternate to staying in actual Jackson Hole, which is great and all, but I like the woods. I was day dreaming looking at those snow capped mountains. You should head to the Information center before doing any of the activities mentioned, get some information, buy some quick things here and then head out.
I will certainly be back!
