Grand Teton National Park’s Colter Bay: The DrsC have a new RV, it is our sixth in an unbroken string of RV ownership going back 46 years to 1972. The new RV is another 5th wheel trailer, made by a firm called Grand Design which we understand was recently purchased by Winnebago.
The 2019 model is a Reflection, it’s exactly the same 35’ length as our last unit. If you’re not familiar with RVs, think of it as a small one-bedroom apartment on wheels.
We’re camped in a RV campground we first visited 45 years ago. We have visited it many times, and it’s still one of our all-time favorites.
It is, however, true that our cell-phone-based Internet doesn’t work here. These “Travel Blogging” entries will be posted when we get to a hotspot.
RV campgrounds with utility hookups within U.S. National Parks are quite rare, I’ve only ever seen three - this one, one in Yellowstone at Fishing Bridge, and one at the south rim of the Grand Canyon. And I’m not certain the third one still exists.
Most NPS campgrounds offer a fire pit, a picnic table, and a place to park plus a restroom within walking distance. On the other hand, Canadian national parks more often have some RV spots - those at Waterton, Banff, Jasper, and Cape Breton Highlands come to mind.
More typical in the U.S. are privately owned RV camps just outside national park boundaries. That’s what is available at Glacier, Zion and Bryce NPs, and they work fine too.
