Located on the southwest shore of Yellowstone Lake, the Grant Village Campground is situated at an elevation of approximately 7,800 feet in a lodgepole pine forest, just a few miles from the enchanting West Thumb Geyser Basin. This geyser basin is located on the shore of the lake, with an easily navigated boardwalk and trail system providing terrific views of the various hot springs and thermal features. The campground offers a relaxing setting with easy access to many services and amenities. Grant Village Campground is just over 40 miles from Colter Bay.
**First-come/First-served Campsites at Canyon, Grant and Bridge Bay Campgrounds
During the opening week of operation at Canyon, Grant and Bridge Bay Campgrounds we only offer sites on a first come/first served basis. We do this because the early season dates at these specific campgrounds are frequently impacted by heavy snow and wet conditions. Without having to make reservations, guests can visit the campgrounds and decide if the conditions are suitable for their situation and desired experience. If so, they can stay. If not, there are no reservations to cancel or refund. We typically do not sell out during the first week of operation at each of these campgrounds.
