Camping at Gros Ventre Campground near Kelly

Public campground · Kelly · 300 campsites

A forested campground near trout fishing, and hiking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

Gros Ventre Campground sits on the valley floor beneath Blacktail Butte with clear sightlines to the Teton Range, and its cottonwood-fringed setting puts the Gros Ventre River within easy walking distance of every site. That river corridor is a magnet for wildlife bison, moose, elk, mule deer and a broad mix of birds are commonly seen from campsites and nearby trails so bring binoculars and a telephoto for photography, and be prepared to give animals plenty of space.

“The bees were so bad Labor Day Week. Its the largest campground in the Tetons, just need showers!”

David Ray P 3 · Oct 2025 · Recreation.gov

“We camped in loop F , spot 289 which has some privacy and is away from the smaller in loop spots. It doesn't have power but is in a non generator loop.”

Paul N 5 · Oct 2025 · Recreation.gov

“Nice campground and enjoyed my spot that had plenty of room for my tent and to spread out. Close enough to everything I wanted to see and do. I would stay here again!”

How far ahead to book Gros Ventre Campground

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (101,951 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
