Why would a person go to Jackson Hole to find a campground when there are many of them in Grand Teton, such as Colter Bay, Gros Ventre, Lizard Creek, etc. If you are planning on staying in Grand Teton, go to Colter Bay and either park in the campground or at the RV park. The RV park requires reservations but you might be able to get in if you hurry. It's a full service RV park. The campground is very inexpensive if you have a senior pass at about $11.50 per day. Gros Ventre is similar to Colter Bay in that it is dry camping but has lots of spots, over 300, in which to camp. Last spring Colter Bay was mostly closed early in June so we stayed at Gros Ventre and saw a couple of moose wander through our camp site about three feet from the FW and also saw a bunch of Mountain Sheep as well as a great deal of wildlife around the campground. I prefer Colter Bay since we fish when we are there and it's right on Jackson Lake in which we fish. Gros Ventre is quite a ways away, but you still get to see a bunch of the Park when traveling to the upper part of Grand Teton. Plus, it's very close to Jenny Lake with good hiking, etc. You can't go wrong staying in Grand Teton, but I would suggest that staying in Jackson Hole would be a mistake from an adventure standpoint, it's just a tourist trap with a whole bunch of people around, especially in the summer months.
