The five established campgrounds within the park offer sites that are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Advance reservations are not accepted. Campgrounds tend to fill up early each day in the summer, some by 8am. All campgrounds (except Jenny Lake) welcome RVs and trailers. Call the park directly with questions: (307) 739-3300.
RVs and trailers are best suited at Colter Bay RV Park and Headwaters Campground (at Flagg Ranch), where there are full hook-ups, showers and laundry.
Groups can be accommodated at Colter Bay and Gros Ventre Campgrounds. Advance reservations are required. Call 307-543-3100.
Overnight backcountry camping is permitted only in designated areas. A permit is required for all overnight trips. Permits are available on a first come first served basis and can be picked up at the Colter Bay Visitor Center, Craig Thomas Discovery Center, and the Jenny Lake Ranger Station. Advanced reservations can be made on 30% of the available permits via fax, mail, or in person between January 1 and May 15. Campsites range from lakeshore sites that allow fires to higher elevation sites that do not, including some remote areas above 7,000 feet.
