There’s no mistaking the first time you see the Grand Teton Mountains. They are amazing and you immediately recognize the differences between the Tetons and the Rockies. This isn’t to imply that the Rockies are not beautiful, because they are. It’s just that the Tetons take your breath away every time you see them.

A National Park Ranger said that once you see the Tetons, you will return. There may be something to that since returning to the Tetons was on both of our lists.
Unlike most campgrounds in national parks, Colter Bay has full hookups. That means we had electric, water and sewer connections while camping there in Rosie, our 25 foot Airstream trailer. Another nice feature is that the campground appeared to be carved around the trees and this gives you the feeling that you are in the woods.

Of course, no one wants to hang around the campground when you are in the Tetons. The jagged and snow-capped mountains and the abundant wildlife are enough to get you driving through the park every day while there.
Speaking of wildlife, we saw a moose at Schwabachers Landing.

Here are some specifics about this campground:
- Our site had 30 and 20 amp electrical service
- Our site had a water connection
- Our site had a sewer connection
- Our site was not paved. Perhaps the best description of our site was to call it “forest floor.”
- Our site was not level. We didn’t have enough leveling tools to get Rosie near level
- Our site was very shaded
- There were “bear warnings” throughout the campground. We didn’t see any bears near our park
- There were several restrooms scattered around the park. The one closest to our site was clean and heated, an appreciated condition on cold mornings
- Shower stalls were next to the general store, which was outside the camping loops. Bring a pocket full of quarters if you want to take a shower because the park charges an arm and a leg for showers
- We were unsuccessful in receiving any TV signals using Rosie’s antenna
- We had no voice and data service on our AT&T iPhones
