About Gros Ventre Campground

Overview

Gros Ventre (pronounced ‘grow-vont’), means “big belly” in French, and the Gros Ventre Campground—surrounded by cottonwood trees and featuring stunning views of Blacktail Butte and the Teton Mountains—is truly magnificent! The campground’s location next to the Gros Ventre River offers some of the best opportunities in the park for wildlife sightings, as bison, moose, mule deer and a wide variety of birds are known to frequent the area. For avid anglers, the Gros Ventre River offers plentiful cutthroat trout, brook trout, and whitefish. While none of Gros Ventre’s campsites are on the river, all are within walking distance.

The campground offers camping for tents and dry camping for RVs. Campsites include 279 individual campsites, 4 large group sites, and 39 electric-only sites, 10 of which are ADA-accessible. The campground is open from late-April to early-October.

Recreation

Grab your fly fishing rod and take a short walk down to the Gros Ventre River. Or, if you prefer, our experienced guides offer private guided fly fishing down the famous and scenic Snake River.

The Gros Ventre area is a prime location for wildlife watching and photography. Walk along the banks of the river under cottonwood trees and willows to capture that perfect photo of a beaver, moose, elk, bison, or bears. (Be sure to maintain appropriate distance!) Located a short drive away is Mormon Row, featuring the iconic and historic John Moulton barn.

Blacktail Butte Trail is a 7.3-mile, moderately trafficked out and back trail, located near Gros Ventre which features beautiful wildflowers, sage brush, and lodgepole pine. The butte is known for its views of the Gros Ventre and Teton Mountain Ranges. Sport climbing is a popular activity in the area; Blacktail Butte’s limestone wall offers mostly 5.10, 5.11, and 5.12 climbs with incredible Teton views.

Facilities

Gros Ventre campground offers camping for tents and dry camping for RVs. Each tent campsite has a gravel parking space for two vehicles and tent pads for up to two tents. Each RV campsite has a back-in or pull-through gravel parking space for one RV and one tow vehicle with a maximum total length of 45 feet.* All sites have a picnic table, a fire pit with metal fire grate, food storage lockers and access to nearby water spigots and flush toilets. There are no shower facilities at the campground. Please note that generators are only permitted in loops A, B, and C.

ADA Access: There are 10 campsites that are ADA compliant with electric-only hook-ups. Most sites in the campground are level, vehicle-accessible, and surfaced with compact gravel. Several restroom facilities are wheelchair-accessible. The campground loop roads are paved and generally level, with some small inclines/declines. Routes to the amphitheater have an incline and are paved, but somewhat uneven. Please note, neither the campground registration office nor the courtesy phone are wheelchair accessible.

There is no internet service at Gros Ventre Campground; the closest public wireless internet access is in the town of Jackson, a 10- to 15-minute drive away. Cellular coverage varies, and may be available depending on location within the campground and service provider.

Campground Office is open from 8am-7pm during peak season.

Natural Features

The Gros Ventre Campground is situated in a tranquil setting with incredible views of Blacktail Butte and the Grand Teton Mountain Range. Within walking distance is the Gros Ventre River, which runs through forests, cliffs, and narrow canyons. This area is known for its remarkable fly fishing and photography opportunities.

Gros Ventre is home to elk, moose, mule deer, bighorn sheep, wolves, black and grizzly bears, and more. Bears are often seen on trails and in the developed areas. Being prepared for an animal encounter can help ensure your safety as well as that of the wildlife that call this spectacular area home.

Nearby Attractions

Gros Ventre Campground is the closest in the park to the town of Jackson, where you can visit the National Museum of Wildlife Art located just outside of town, walk under the famous giant elk antler archway in town center, attend the Jackson Hole Rodeo, browse local shops, and dine at one of the many restaurants. Or head north and take a self-guided tour of Grand Teton via the 43-mile Scenic Loop Drive, offering an opportunity to photograph the famous landscape and local wildlife. Then make your way to the historic Jackson Lake Lodge for its famous huckleberry milkshakes and spectacular Teton views through 60-foot tall wall-to-wall windows. While you’re there, book a scenic raft trip, park bus tour, or horseback ride. Go a few miles further to Colter Bay Village where you can rent a kayak or canoe, take a guided boat ride to the majestic base of the Teton Range, or just enjoy lunch and the stunning lake view from the marina. From there, it’s a short drive to Yellowstone National Park’s south entrance.
