Grand Teton NP Gros Ventre

Nestled in the shadow of the magnificent Teton Range, Gros Ventre Campground offers one of the most spectacular RV camping experiences in the American West. Located just outside Kelly, Wyoming, this National Park campground provides direct access to Grand Teton National Park's stunning landscapes, pristine wilderness, and world-class outdoor recreation. With 300 sites spread across the valley floor, you'll find yourself surrounded by dramatic mountain peaks, dense forests, and the meandering Gros Ventre River.

The campground sits at an elevation that provides crisp mountain air and cooler temperatures during the warmer months, making it an ideal retreat from summer heat. The Teton Range dominates the western horizon, creating a natural backdrop that changes character throughout the day as light plays across the granite peaks and forested slopes. Early mornings often greet campers with mist rising from the river valley and the possibility of spotting wildlife including elk, moose, and bison that roam the park freely.

For those who love fishing, the Gros Ventre River offers excellent opportunities to cast a line for cutthroat trout. The river winds through the campground and surrounding areas, providing both convenient and more remote fishing spots for anglers of all skill levels. Picnic areas with tables throughout the grounds make it easy to enjoy meals with views that rival any fine dining establishment.

The location serves as an ideal basecamp for exploring Grand Teton National Park. Hiking trails range from easy riverside walks to challenging alpine routes, providing options for every fitness level and interest. Photography enthusiasts find endless opportunities to capture the mountains, wildlife, and changing light conditions that make this region famous.

The campground operates seasonally from May through October, aligning with peak season for Rocky Mountain travel. With full amenities including dump stations, restrooms, and shower facilities, along with pet-friendly policies, families and solo travelers alike can enjoy an extended stay. Fire rings at many sites allow for traditional campfire experiences under brilliant star-filled skies far from city light pollution.
