About

Colter Bay Tent Village provides a unique camping experience combining the adventure of tent camping with the shelter of semi-permanent structures. The 66 tent cabins are built as duplexes sharing a common log wall, with two permanent log walls and two weatherproof canvas walls topped by a canvas roof. Inside, you'll find two sets of pull-down bunk beds sleeping four, an interior potbelly wood-burning stove, and electric lighting. Sleeping bags and pillows are not included but can be rented at the office. The village sits in a lodgepole pine forest within walking distance of Jackson Lake and numerous hiking trails. Each cabin has an outdoor fire pit with metal grate, picnic table, and bear-proof food storage locker. Shared amenities include flush toilets, potable water spigots, coin-operated showers and laundry at the launderette, plus access to Colter Bay Village's grocery store, restaurants, marina, and visitor center. From the lakeshore, campers enjoy views across Jackson Lake to Mount Moran and the northern Teton Range. The area offers hiking, kayaking, horseback riding, fishing, lake cruises, and ranger-led programs. Black bears, grizzlies, moose, and other wildlife are frequently seen in the area.
