For non-disabled they are allowed to take the site if it is the last available but are notified by a posted sign (and usually a host too) about the same.

So, if understanding correctly, the non ADA comes in, is given the last availalable site, ADA or otherwise. Later the ADA comes in, no reservation, & the non ADA is kicked out with nowhere to go? Is that how it is?

Don't misunderstand me, I am all for helping the disabled but booting somebody out of a campsite because you have extended your day to the fullest & then expect somebody to be kicked out with noplace to go, if necessary, to accomodate you, does not seem quite fair.

If the non ADA took the site when other, non ADA, were available, then too bad. Get out. You rolled the dice & lost.

We were in Colter Bay two years ago on one of our three trips there each summer and used one of the ADA sites when our son and his family joined us for three days. They reserve them for most of the day but will lets people without disabilities use them when they don't fill up around 2:00 or 3:00. Our daughter-in-law has a C-Pap machine so the electric was good to have but there is some type of designation you need to get to just get into the site early, don't know what it is but some kind of disabled pass I think. As far as the site is concerned, they are quite roomy with electric only and are very level for the most part. Not all are paved, but even the dirt/gravel ones are very nice.

How long does it take to re-charge the wheelchair? If you can't get into one of the ADA sites, you can run a generator from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm in about half the sites so, after sightseeing, you might have three or four hours to recharge before having to shut the generator off, if you have one.

I was there late last summer and the campground mostly did not fill. The ADA sites were available. They have at least electric... don't recall if sewer and water included. Nice concrete pad.

Your most reliable answer will come from Grand Teton Lodge Co. at (307) 543-2811.

We don't qualify for ADA, but I'm pretty sure that they keep the ADA sites open for Campers who need an ADA site until they fill, or until late in the day when the entire campground fills.

From looking at the web site, there are 13 ADA sites with electricty at Colter Bay and 10 at Gros Ventre. There are an additional 26 sites at Gros Ventre with electric that aren't listed as meeting ADA.

We always stay at Gros Ventre when in the Tetons - they rarely fill (never when we have been there in June).
