CampgroundColter Bay Tent Village
66 tent cabins with bunks and wood stoves near Jackson Lake. Bring sleeping bags; book early on Recreation.gov.

Signal Mountain is the campground you pick when you want real Teton views without giving up hot showers. Its 81 sites sit in an open lodgepole pine forest next to Signal Mountain Lodge, with some sites just above Jackson Lake and the rest a short walk from the water. Tents and smaller rigs up to 30 feet both work here, and 25 sites have electric hookups. The developed area next door adds restaurants, laundry, a camp store, and a marina, so resupply is a five-minute errand instead of a road trip.
BOOK IF: you want Jackson Lake and Mount Moran views with real amenities - showers, laundry, camp store, restaurants, and 25 electric sites for rigs 30 feet and under. SKIP IF: you're hauling a big rig over 30 feet total length, need an ADA-accessible campsite, or want deep-woods solitude far from a lodge area.
Tent, RV (up to 30 feet), trailer
Views of Mount Moran and the northern Teton Range across Jackson Lake
Signal Mountain Summit Road, Oxbow Bend, Jenny Lake Scenic Drive, and Colter Bay are elsewhere in Grand Teton National Park
Seasonal amphitheater programs, flush toilets, and a camp store with ice make this an easy setup with kids - just drill the bear-box rule into everyone on night one
July and August bring warm days and cool nights - just plan around the common afternoon thundershowers
- Book the moment your six-month Recreation.gov window opens; the campground often fills before noon in peak season - Bring quarters for the coin-op showers - Pack layers: nights run cool even in July and August, and frost is possible any month - Use the bear box for everything with an odor - coolers included - Rigs over 30 feet total length won't fit; measure truck plus trailer - Collecting downed and dead wood is allowed inside the campground, so save a few bucks on firewood
Paved access roads mean any vehicle gets in fine, but the campground is hilly across its three loops, so bring leveling blocks. Hard 30-foot total length limit for RVs and trailers - big rigs should look elsewhere. 25 sites have electric hookups; grab one when booking if you need power.
Open lodgepole pine forest on hilly ground rather than a dense canopy, so expect partial screening between sites, not deep seclusion. The trade-off is the setting: some sites sit just above Jackson Lake with Mount Moran across the water, and the lodge, marina, and restaurants are a short walk away.
Solid for a national park campground: seasonal flush toilets with cold running water, coin-operated showers, and a laundry - showers and laundry sit near the campground entrance and are fully ADA accessible. Bring quarters.
Campers come here for the combination other Teton campgrounds can't match: Mount Moran views over Jackson Lake with flush toilets, showers, and a restaurant within walking distance. The 30-foot rig limit and quick sellouts are the recurring gripes.

No. RVs and trailers are limited to 30 feet total length - that means truck plus trailer combined, so measure the whole rig before booking.
Book ahead. The 81 sites are reservable on Recreation.gov up to six months out, there are no first-come sites, and the campground often fills before noon during peak season.
Yes - 25 of the 81 sites have electric hookups at $79 per night versus $55 for a standard site. No full hookups, but there's a seasonal dump station on-site.
Yes. Coin-operated showers run seasonally, and the laundry is nearby too - both sit near the campground entrance and are fully ADA accessible. Bring quarters.
Yes - this is bear country. All food and anything with an odor must be stored properly at all times, most sites have a bear box, and you must stay at least 100 yards from bears and wolves.
Yes, on a leash under 6 feet. Pets aren't allowed on park trails, the multi-use pathway, or in the backcountry, so plan on keeping the dog in camp and the developed areas.
You're covered - the seasonal camp store sells both, and the Signal Mountain Lodge general store is a short walk away. You can also collect downed and dead wood inside the campground.
