    That's our plan when we stay there in early July... in the RV park, that is.

    Yes but not showers
  • The RV park does have full hookups so showere were no big deal. The walk to the general store is only 5 minutes and you can get some great treats at the deli/bakery while there

    Colter bay has become one of our favorite spots to stop when visiting Yellowstone. We may be headed back there this year again!

  • They DO have water connections though so using the one in the RV is certainly easy to do.
    Good luck / Skip
  • There are no showers in the loops. The only showers are next to the General Store at the main area. Not really a big deal as a person, even one as old as me, can walk there and back in 10-15 minutes each way. And, you might get to see some wildlife while you are walking. Or, you can walk down to the lake and jump in, might be a bit cold, bit the goose bumps will get the dirt sitting up and wash off and you are thrashing around the lake. There is a designated swimming area down by the lake where a lot of people go during the day. Last summer the cost of a shower was, I think, $3.75 each. Not really too expensive compared to the $55+ per day at the full service hook-up campground. If you take fairly short showers, just do that in the trailer/camper and dump periodically. They have two separate dump/fill stations close to the entrance to the loops.

    Should have said "dry" loops.
  • From the NPS website"
    Colter Bay
    "Details
    25 miles north of Moose, with 350 sites, 11 group sites, trailer dump station, showers, and laundry nearby. Fills in the afternoon, if at all. Colter Bay is a wooded campground with larger sites and easier access if you are traveling with a camper, trailer, or RV. Close to Jackson Lake with many nearby activities."

    This may not answer your question.
