Colter Bay: Picnic Tables and a Pebbly Beach“You're approaching Colter Bay's picnic area and swim beach, a good choice for lunch beside Jackson Lake. Choose a lakeside table for the view toward Mount Moran, or one among the lodgepole pines for shade.”

Guide
Colter Bay RV Park is a 112-site, RV-only campground in lodgepole pine forest near Colter Bay Village. It suits RV travelers who want full hookups and an easy walk to the lake and village services. All sites can be reserved, and stays here are limited to 14 nights.
The RV park is set back from Jackson Lake, but a short stroll reaches the shore and views of Mount Moran and the northern Teton Range. Colter Bay Village nearby has a visitor center, stores, restaurants and a marina, making it easy to pair a night here with a lake visit or a meal.
Every site has water, sewer and electric hookups plus a picnic table; most are shaded. Pull-through spaces fit rigs up to 45 feet, while back-in sites accommodate rigs up to 30 feet. Check the site type and length before booking. Some pads slope enough that leveling blocks can be useful.
