Guide
Colter Bay General Store & Launderette is a seasonal grocery and visitor-service stop in Colter Bay Village, with a neighboring laundry and shower facility. Stop for groceries and camp supplies without leaving the village, or use the hot showers and laundry after a few days outdoors. An activities desk also arranges rafting, horseback rides and lake cruises.
The store carries fresh pastries, ice cream, salads, sandwiches and grab-and-go meals, along with produce, sporting goods, gifts, firewood and camp supplies. It is handy when you need a few things now, though repeated visitors say prices run high, especially for snacks, drinks and firewood.
