Electricity at National Park Campgrounds
Do any of the campgrounds (not privately owned ones) in Teton, Yellowstone and Glacier, have electric hook-ups? If so, please post their names. Thanks.

I stand corrected.- Hi CloudDriver,
Fishing Bridge is inside Yellowstone. It does have electricity.CloudDriver wrote:

Don't forget Headwaters (used to be called Flagg Ranch) between Yellowstone and Grand Teton. Colter Bay, Headwaters, and Fishing Bridge are all concessionaire operated, so you won't save any money versus the private parks in the area, if that is your goal.
yes, was going to mention this. I'm staying there in about a month. Kind of pricy ($70/night) but I like the location between parks. I believe the full name is Headwaters at Flagg Ranch (kind of a Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim thing going on i guess haha)Tequila wrote:
Go to home depot, buy a 3 ft hunk of 4 x 4, next buy an electruical outlet and 3 ft of conduit. Then 3 ft of water pipe and a tap fitting and install them on each side. Next install a spike on the bottom of the 4 , drive it into the ground and hook up. Does it work? Nope, but you sure have a lot of people driving by asking when you plan to pull out.
That is funny!- Don't forget Headwaters (used to be called Flagg Ranch) between Yellowstone and Grand Teton. Colter Bay, Headwaters, and Fishing Bridge are all concessionaire operated, so you won't save any money versus the private parks in the area, if that is your goal.

Colter Bay (in Tetons) has power. I've stayed there and had hookups.- Go to home depot, buy a 3 ft hunk of 4 x 4, next buy an electruical outlet and 3 ft of conduit.

- In Grand Teton, Colter Bay Campground has some loops that have been refurbished in the last couple of years that have electricity but not full hook ups. Colter Bay R/V campground (adjacent to Colter Bay Campground and near Colter Bay Visitor Center) is full hookup.
