We have camped at both the Colter Bay campground and the RV park(only once). We love the Colter Bay campground, even if it is "dry" since it's so close to the lake and in basically in the middle of the Park. Gros Ventre is a very nice campground, closer to Jackson for what that's worth, but a little farther away from the prettier parts of the Park. Both Colter Bay and Gros Ventre have about 300 dry camping spots, both have some spots with electricity, but these "pads" with the electricity are basically or handicapped campers who need a constant source of electricity. Doesn't mean you can't get one, but they keep some of them aside for handicapped campers until later in the day. We have camped at Colter Bay for about 50 years and hit Gros Ventre last spring for the first time. I prefer Colter Bay but different strokes for different folks.
