Soaring over a landscape rich with wildlife, pristine lakes, and majestic
alpine vistas, the Teton Range stands as a testament to generations of
stewards. For over 11,000 years, communities have thrived in the valley known
as Jackson Hole, turning these mountains into more than just peaks—they embody
imagination and enduring human connection.

products to defer the higher cost of providing water and sewer in the remote

the difference in the cost of providing these services less the comparable
cost of similar services in local areas. This fee is reviewed annually and
approved by the National Park Service.

## Overview

Gros Ventre (pronounced ‘grow-vont’), means “big belly” in French, and the
Gros Ventre Campground—surrounded by cottonwood trees and featuring stunning
views of Blacktail Butte and the Teton Mountains—is truly magnificent! The
campground’s location next to the Gros Ventre River offers some of the best
opportunities in the park for wildlife sightings, as bison, moose, mule deer
and a wide variety of birds are known to frequent the area. For avid anglers,
the Gros Ventre River offers plentiful cutthroat trout, brook trout, and
whitefish. While none of Gros Ventre’s campsites are on the river, all are
within walking distance.

The campground offers camping for tents and dry camping for RVs. Campsites
include 279 individual campsites, 4 large group sites, and 39 electric-only
sites, 10 of which are ADA-accessible. The campground is open from late-April
to early-October. While Gros Ventre Campground doesn’t always fill as quickly
as some of the other park campgrounds, visitors are still encouraged to plan
and book early. Campground has two dump stations with limited use
availability. Please inquire with campground staff upon arrival for use

## Nearby Attractions

One of the many reasons visitors return to Headwaters at Flagg Ranch year
after year is its close proximity to Yellowstone’s south entrance, just a few
miles north. But while it wouldn’t be difficult to spend all your time
exploring our country’s very first national park (and the second-largest in
the lower 48 states), there is much to see and do in the opposite direction as
well. Take a self-guided tour of Grand Teton National Park via the 43-mile
Scenic Loop Drive, offering an opportunity to photograph the park’s famous
landscape and local wildlife. Spend a few hours at Colter Bay Village, located
about 30 minutes south of Headwaters Campground, where you can rent a kayak or
canoe, take a guided boat ride to the majestic base of the Teton Range, or
just enjoy lunch and the stunning lake view from the marina. Continue on and
stop in at the historic Jackson Lake Lodge for its famous huckleberry
milkshakes and spectacular Teton views through 60-foot tall wall-to-wall
windows. While you’re there, book a scenic raft trip or park bus tour. From
there, continue south to the town of Jackson, located about 50 miles from
Headwaters, where you can visit the National Museum of Wildlife Art just
outside of town, walk under the famous giant elk antler archway in town
center, attend the Jackson Hole Rodeo, browse local shops, and dine at one of
the many restaurants.
