AFFILIATE LINK DISCLOSURE: Friends, making a quality Loloho video is kind of like making sausage - only slightly more violent. It's a ridiculous amount of work that typically involves high dollar camera drops, blue-screen-of-death computer crashes, and at least one angry shotgun wielding old man shouting, “Hey! Get the hell outta here!” Once the final video is posted, rewards here on TH-cam are few and far between (unless you are a masochist who enjoys being verbally abused by anonymous trolls). One saving grace is our affiliate links. JUST CLICKING THESE LINKS HELPS TO SUPPORT OUR LITTLE SHOW. Think of this clicking as like tipping - except that it doesn't cost you anything extra! If you eventually make a purchase via one of our affiliate links, we will receive a few pennies (and Sean typically invests these pennies in duct tape and video gear). Again, it doesn't cost you anything to click these links, and it's a great help to us. As always, safe travels, happy camping, and THANK YOU!

❤❤❤
Showers are also available at Colter Bay next to the General Store. Internet is also provided.
Camped here several times and headed back in August. We love it so much, I watched this video just for the memories/anticipation of our next trip. Thanks!
We stayed there a few years back. We loved it while touring the Jackson Hole area. Everything else was full around this area. I would stay there again next time when we are back in the area...Pre reservation days
Our family has been to Gros Ventre three times now over the past 5 years due to your recommendation. We rather love it now and don't even bother looking at the other GTNP campgrounds. Edit: didn't know about the shirt! Buying now.
We’re ordering the shirt, too 😉
Thanks so much for your detailed video on Gros Ventre Campground. We watched the video and we made a reservation for June for three nights. We have watched your videos even before there was a TH-cam. We still have your videos, and consider them to be historical collectibles. Thank you so much for your time and energy.
Kathy and Richard Griffin. 32:08 😅
haha I am honored! 😁Have fun in June!!
We got in the last three days of the season last year, big surprise to us when I checked the day before. Looking at your location looks very close to where we were. The weather was awful, cold, sleet and snow the last day as we packed up. But we had a good time anyway. We have spent a lot of time in YNP and Grand Tetons the last three years and plan on more this year.. Didn't get to se a Moose but we almost saw one one the river...
We were there in October, on your recommendation. It didn’t disappoint. We will be back! We’re just sorry we missed you.
I have stayed at this campground last year. It was nice and saw moose at the river in the morning. I am going to stay here in September this year.
Thanks for the info!
I was really taken back by the obvious enjoyment this Park brings you. I want to be there soooo bad!
It's a special place! It's got a certain magic to it IMHO.
Very nice coverage. Thank you
Very timely. We have reservations the first week of May for two nights. Thanks!
Enjoy!!!
Thank you for food ideas and how you prep and a little about the dish. When I can I will send in ideas. Enjoy your get away. Make the journey be a blessing to others. Thank you.
Thank you!
Weirdly enough, we’re about two weeks into planning our first trip to Badlands, Yellowstone and Grand Teton.
We’ve quickly realized that we’re way behind and basically know nothing about the area. It’s fairly overwhelming. This video was outstanding and super informative ! Thank you.
We're leaving S. TX on the 15th, embarking on the exact same trip. We're looking forward to seeing these places for the first (and probably the last) time at 66 yrs of age. We're FTers who boondock almost exclusively, so if you like to boondock, we might run into one another, as we plan on spending most of the year in the SD/WY area before heading to Q for the winter. We should arrive at The Wall overlooking the badlands Apr. 23rd. and plan on staying there for a couple weeks before heading off to the Mt. Rushmore area. We're hard to miss as we have a National Tropical MH pulling a bright yellow Chevy Cobalt, with a solar array mounted on the side, shading the bedroom window.
I was so happy to meet you at Gros Ventre in 2021. You’re the reason I made the trip to the Tetons. Thought it was pretty funny, I was the dork from Ohio wearing my Gros Ventre T-Shirt. Felt like such a LOLOHO groupie. Had a wonderful time! Meeting you both, the moose, aspen trees & The Grand Tetons….doesn’t get any better. 😁
Thanks for the solid info guyz👍😎
Nice video!!! We love that area!!
Thank you for this video.
The wife and I go there quite often (usually 3 out of four years). It’s a wonder we have never ran into each other. We will be there twice this season once in early June and again in late July. I have been going there since I was a small child, (I’m 68 now) so to say I have seen changes is an understatement. One aspect you didn’t mention, is that it is a wonderful place if you’re a birder. We have seen several dozen species of birds there. Everything from eagles and osprey to hummingbirds proliferate the area.
Thanks for such an excellent overview of this campground.
Excellent Tutorial Review Video! Thank You.
Thank you uncle Sean for sharing. We can’t wait To go to Gros Ventre!!!
I LOVE this campground so much!! We stayed here in 99B last September for 5 days. It was quite roomy for our 31' foot motorhome and towed truck. Unfortunately, as we were busily packing up on our last day, we missed a bull moose walking behind our spot. I was so bummed. We used our generator once so I could brew a K-cup (not worth it, just brew it in the Moka pot) otherwise, we were on solar the entire time. Someone even lost (and found) their cat! Such wonderful memories. I cannot wait to go back again. Tetons have my heart. C'mon people! Pick up after yourselves! I do not recall the dump station reservation, I think maybe they asked when we were leaving, but it didn't seem a big deal to me. Of course, I was waiting in the tow vehicle in the overflow parking (near the amphitheater). It is definitely a clunky area at least when we were filling up our fresh water upon arrival (it was quite backed up since that's what everyone wanted to do).
Nice tour of the park
I love the chair Christie is sitting in. Where did you get those? I'd love to but my feet up. Great video. Informative and beautiful scenery. Safe travels
Very informative video. Thank you so much!
Love Gros Ventre! Still have my Gros Ventre Tshirt from you guys!
Thank you, love your videos. I passed this on to people I’d like to camp there with!
Awesome! Thank you! Yes, we look forward to returning later this year
Very timely. We'll be there end of June. Thanks for all your work!
I much prefer the Atherton Campground. It is on the Lower Slide Lake. Check it out! 😊
Thank you for sharing this information. Local knowledge is golden.
Great video! Thanks for sharing all this great information.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
That’s a nice truck and airstream at 13:20.
Thank you for a very interesting video that is such a beautiful place. Thank you for all the information
So much helpful information. Hope to meet up again this year! Love the t shirts. We ordered 2.
Nice park. Safe travels. Been watching you guys for many years. All the best.😊
Love our T shirt!❤
Thanks!
Thank you Robert! Glad you enjoyed. Your kindness & generosity is appreciated more than you know.
Really love the Tetons and Gros Ventre . Really gets busy when the moose are active. Thanks for the update on the new reservation details. As always popular camp grounds are busy, but I still like the old method even though the park was full and I had to find another quiet spot to spend some quality time. Sorry, I’m not telling where it is but a good backup plan if needed. I like boondocking if I don’t get chased out. Great video on the park.
You saved your ass with the upgrade wife remark. Good to see you again.
We look forward to being there July 27 for a week. Can't wait!
Thanks for the video. We have stayed at Gros Ventre campground several times. It's a wonderful location with a good chance of seeing moose.
Boy, this is a far cry from when my sis and I camped there in 1977. Thanks for the update.......
Yes, there have been a lot of changes over the years. I really miss having the ability to simply arrive and snag a campsite. Maybe they will set aside a few first come first serve sites in the future.
Looks like you used file footage with my rig. A bittersweet stay that year but the Tetons will always calm your soul. Working as a Jammer in Glacier again this year. Let me know if you may be in the area. I’ll be on the west side.
Thank you for your videos! We went to Gros Ventre last summer on your recommendation and loved it! So much so that we left Yellowstone earlier than planned and came back to Gros Ventre for an additional 5 days. And this year we return again for several days between Glacier and the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.
There is a trail/path from Loop A to the river that we walked every day and really enjoyed. I would add that even though I am a very mature (aka OLD) man, I was so moved by my first view of the Grand Tetons last year that I had tears in my eyes. It was comparable to my first view of the Matterhorn! Again, thank you both for your efforts in making your videos that led my wife and I to the Grand Tetons and Gros Ventre!
Thanks John, I really appreciate your kind post! Agree about the Tetons -- I'm sure my eyes have teared up more than once at their sight. So glad to hear that you enjoyed, and yes when we are staying in Gros Ventre I walk over to the river pretty much every day. It's so peaceful and you never know what you might see.
We will be at Gros Ventue this September 🎉 (w/ reservation) We do have a Honda gen that is super quiet. We did not want to be that Homedept totting construction gen camper 😂. Thank you Sssooo much Sean!
That was a good description of the park. All parks should have this type of announcement to let people know what they can expect . And what's expected of them.its been years since I have had a vacation and now want to start again.alot has changed in setups and how tos.i wouldnt know that was drinking water without a sign. Someone may think it's for rinsing their portable potty
We’ll have the flying squirrel there in September!
Sean & Kristy,
Yet another outstanding Gros Ventre video. Not sure if we'll ever make it there, but if we do, your tips will prove invaluable. Safe travels!
Thanks Mach, you gotta go! Hope all is well in the Big Easy.
We have been looking for a chili recipe for a long time. Now we use Krysti's chili and we love it.
It’s getting to be chilli weather again! We need to make some too!
Minor correction. Jackson Hole is the whole valley and the town is called Jackson.
Love Gross Ventre!
I believe generators are supposed to comply to a decibel limit. Perhaps some reinforcement is warranted 😊
Moose everywhere, especially in the fall. One pet peeve I have is beeping door locks. Out there being quiet looking for wildlife and beep. Wish folks would push the button or disarm the alarm.
Thanks for your excellent video. Love the Tetons
Sean and Kristy: Nice overview of Gros Ventre campground.
We were there last September and we absolutely loved it.
Stayed there for almost a week. Sadly, during our stay, we did not see one moose, bear, or you guys.
Yeah, the dump station situation really sucks!
Are you guys planning any "meet-ups" there in the near future?
Safe Travels!
Hi Dean, I think that area is fantastic even if you do not see any moose. Some years we see, mini moose, and other years not so many. With regard to meet ups, we are certainly open to having them if people are interested. Maybe we will plan a big one this year
Sorry Pam and I missed you last year at Gros Ventre. Silly vaccine mandate. We'll be at Lizard Creek this year. The season ends mid September, so we've schedule a week at Gros Ventre from the 15th. Great video by the way. I think you two are the only ones who love GV more than Pam and me.
Hi Dennis! I’m so glad to hear from you guys! We missed you two last year, but I totally understand why you skipped the season. We look forward to seeing you guys out there this year! 💗🤙🏼
Great video. Will you be doing a meet up there this year?
We are at Gros Ventre right now, September, 2023. They are currently limiting access to the dump site - you have to make a reservation to dump and refill with potable water.
Good evening , if ever you come back to Quebec 🇨🇦 , I am English Quebecer if you ever say Gros Ventre, he or she mite think you're telling them they have a big stomach ! Just saying , Cheer's been watching for years 🍻
Nothing gives me anxiety like backing into spots in Gros Ventre, its so tight in there!
Yes, right spots and slow to get in to eat up. On the bright side, all the campers there have the same problem, so they understand.
We are 511 miles out, see ya this fall.
I first stayed there on your recommendation. I stay there every time I visit now. I've always stayed in Loop F and never seen a moose. This fall I have reservations in Loop A to see if that changes my moose luck. One hike to the river I found a carcass that was fully consumed with only the bones left intact. So please be careful in the woods. For anyone that uses T-Mobile, I watched a Sunday nite NFL game on my phone and had a 5G connection. I first watched a portion a LOLOHO meetup you held in Jackson but the Cowboys-Eagles game was on so I had to watch it. I'm from Dallas. You need to be aware of the competitive shows, even if you do have Kristy as your sidekick. Standard issue wife!? I don't know what to say to you.
Ha ha I am sorry about the standard issue comment. I quickly change my tune. As for the moose, there have been some years when we could not step out of our door, without bumping into one, and other years, when we never saw one. They are truly unpredictable, but I hope they always have a comfortable home in that area.
After watching your videos, we checked out Gros Ventre in 2014. The generators were AWFUL -- I wish the campground had shorter generator hours! We ended up leaving a few days early. When we return to the area, we will make sure to get an electric site or a generator-free site. Noise pollution is real! Thanks for a great video!
Overall, we have had great experiences in the generator loops. However, there have been a few occasions when the open frame generators have been terrible and spoiled a few evenings. So I wanted to make people aware of the issue. In recent years, there have been more, portable inverter generators that are reasonably quiet. So hopefully people will choose the better generators, and use some common courtesy when running them.
@@LongLongHoneymoon I changed my 'if' to 'when' because you sold me on the campground. I have been watching you since 2017 or so -- you inspired me to get my own Airstream, so, thank you! My husband and I appreciate all of your great tips and advice. Hopefully, we will meet you out there someday! Happy trails!
@@wednesdaycherenkov2633 thank you! Yes, it would be nice to meet you someday. Thank you for sticking with us over the years. Let me know if you have any video topics you would like us to address.
Rode by there yesterday(2-6-24) full cell signal on Verizon. Of course the campground is closed.
Crazy how u guys would find a site every time in the summer being it’s such a heavy tourist area
It has definitely gotten harder to do over the years. And of course now reservations are required.
Thanks for the tips. We will be there in loop D with power in early May. Hope the snow is gone. Any issues with a 40ft 5th wheel? The site we chose says it’s ok.
We are headed down to your ''Secret Find'' campground at Gooseneck state park here in Utah! in the morning. We have been at Arches this week ,but getting COLD! Going South! Thanks for your videos and IPA recomendations!!! for this Area! [We loved Gros Venture as well] Maybe find some ''Warm'' in AZ?
Goosenecks may be a little warmer, but on the other hand that wind whipping across the canyon can get cold! From Goosenecks we eventually went down to Sedona and there we did find some sunshine. Enjoy!
You will love Gooseneck. It’s so amazing! We went in the late summer and we didn’t need a generator for long, if at all. You’re so far away from anyone else, it doesn’t matter anyway.
So excited! I've read the Paul Petzoldt book and we are headed here for the first time in June. Question- We're a 29.8 ft class C towing a small Honda Element. In loop A, some of the sites on the river side are two vehicles wide, but the site description states only 1 vehicle is allowed at site. What's the actual practice?
Shadow mountain just next door is the best kept secret there. Free camping and unobstructed views.
Heading to the Tetons mid June, didn't reserve Gros Venture just because the hassle of dump station congestion. Too bad NPS can't add more dump stations. Kind of takes the fun out of it.
Great information, as usual. Thank you, Sean and Kristy. 🙏 33:05 mark: I know we've all been conditioned into believing we live on a spinning-ball planet but I encourage everyone to question that false narrative. We live on a level and motionless plane with the sun, moon, and stars revolving around us. It's a beautiful created realm--not some rock hurling through the "universe" at ridiculous speeds and directions. All of that still, calm lake water is only possible on a flat and level Earth. 😉🥞
Thanks for all the information. We stayed there the last season of first come first serve sites, their method was efficient and amazing but if you weren’t in line before 7am your chances were slim. I get the need to do it all on line after seeing the hoops the staff had to jump through.
Can you give more details on how you get “dump reservations”, please? Do you sign up at the office? How far out do they stay booked up? Any chance of being able to dump on your arrival as we may be arriving after a few days of boon-docking? Are you limited on dump reservations when you are staying multiple days? Any enlightenment will help with prior planning and realistic expectations for managing our water usage. Thanks.
A trick or hack to charge your house batteries when generators aren't allowed is to use jumper cables from your tow vehicle. Your truck is quiet, legal and it doesn't take long. I've done it many times without any problems.
I've seen my friends use that method, and agree it is a smart way to go.
Great video! I appreciate your list of gadgets & tools list, but don't see your water filtration system you use for filtering water from the campground water spigot. Would you mind sharing what you use? Thanks?
20:25 It looks like an oversized bidet, who would want to wash dishes in it? 😮😂
Haha true but you would be surprised at some of the crazy things people do. Some people bathe in nonpotable dump station water. 😬
Sweet, you have Starlink
I will do a review of it soon. Quite simply, it’s a game changer.
Great fo, and timely. We won't be going this year,but planning for next year. How far out can you book reservations at Gros Venter??
Six months
Great info, thanks! What did you use to hold your Solo Stove over the campground fire pit?
Many of those fire pits have a grill attached to them that you can fold down over the pit. Frankly, I would not want to grill anything on it, and I have never seen anyone grill anything on it, but it makes for a good platform to set your solo stove.😂
Gotcha. 😣😆 Thanks for the reply! 🙌
Sean & Kristy...thank you for this video. We started RV'ing over 5 years ago after watching your videos going years back. I always enjoyed your videos of the Yellowstone/Tetons area particularly. Based upon your videos, we started visiting Gros Ventre in our first year, and have returned almost every year since then. We'll be there again this May. We love it there, and found it thanks to you! Keep up the good work!
We will also be there in May 14-29. LoLoHo inspired me to come here last year. Now it’s twice a year. May and September, the difference in seasons is amazing. Stop by we are in #59
Would love to go, but they are always full with people reserving so many months in advance. No shows ruin it too. Nice video and very thorough. Thumbs up of course.
Whoever named those parks, many years ago, had a sense of humor. French men explorers or Coureur des Bois, as they were called then, for sure. Grand Teton means " big boobs" . Gros Ventre means " big belly" 😅
😊👍
😊
Hello Sean & Kristy, Is there a forthcoming Starlink video coming out soon. Anxious to hear your thoughts. I hope you both are doing well.
Yes, soon. Overall it is a great system and I will be glad to make a video about it.
Planning our first trip to grand Tetons and Yellowstone. We are staying 3 nights on loop D. How good is this campground as a base camp to visit Yellowstone?
You probably know this, but the locals call that hill between the campground and black till you also they have made their new reservation policy since Covid almost impossible to get in there with a bigger trailer. I wish someone to do something about that matter how early can we call?
I would check the website for details on calling. Agree that the reservation system is bad news for locals. I wish they would set aside some sites as first come, first serve.,
What is the drive up to the park from Alabama like in terms of elevation? Gradual or lots of steep mountains?
Long drive... steep mountains IF you go through the Bighorn range to the east.... flat if you come up from the south.
We stayed at Gros Ventre because of your recommendation. 😉 We didn’t see moose at the campground, but we did see moose poop. 💩 😜🤣
Thanks for sharing! ❤
Do you put refrigerated food in the bear box?
In theory you could do so, but it's not really necessary -- better to store it in the refrigerator of your RV.
Really disappointed they went to all reservation only. Most years I spend 2 months or more in the Jackson area and Gros Venture was always my home base. I would come and go with no planning ahead and never had a problem getting a campsite, but no more. I don't want to plan months ahead for a campsite. I only wish they would designate about 30% of the campground as FF.
I completely agree. Requiring reservations certainly does not fit with the way we like to travel, and as others have pointed out, that place is a burden on some elderly people who are not Internet savvy. It’s also unfortunate for locals in the Jackson area because they can no longer easily pop over to Gros Ventre on the spur of the moment.
I’m trying to reserve a spot, it’s telling me loop EC, is this a new loop? You didn’t mention it so I’m hesitant. Or at least, curious.
When you type Loloho it auto corrects to LOL Ohio? SMH. Sorry if I missed it but when will you guys start you summer travels.
thanks for the heads up! i will check that out
What is the window for booking Gros Ventre? How many days out can you book?
I believe it is 6 months.
Have you come across a park that wants to do a background check on you, that you have to pay for? Heard it's a new thing now
Guys, any opinion on Bluetooth brake controller vs hard wired?
We have hardwired. Given my personal experience with Bluetooth (just in general), I'm not sure I would rely on it for anything important.
@@LongLongHoneymoon thank you both for the speedy reply. I'll trust your opinion and thank you again. Happy travels!
Hope you catch this question a little after your video was posted but -- towards the end of your video, you are both hiking near Gros Ventre - where is this hike located? if anyone here cares to share where this hike is I'd appreciate it. Thanks
That hike is over in Kelly. Turn right out of the campground and drive a couple of miles through the small area of Kelly. There is a turn to the right … that hike is located near the cabin where they shot the movie Shane.
@@LongLongHoneymoon Thanks!
when did you film the footage in your video?
We have been going to this campground for 15 years, so there is footage from many different visits.
@@LongLongHoneymoon We are leaving Thursday and staying in the F loop for 7 days and just were trying to judge the current snow level. thank you for your time.
This Campground seems to be out of touch with RV's equipped with SOLAR. Meaning Loop D would have been for me..not wanting to be in Generator land.....need area for solar.
Do you know the size limit of RVs? The pads look really large.
I’m sure the details are listed on the campground website. I will say that I have seen some surprisingly large rigs squeeze into that campground. I guess if your rig is too big for a campsite, you might be able to talk your way into overnight parking at the amphitheater.
The lengths are in each spot’s description. You can usually go four foot longer then what it says as you can back over the parking bumps. I put my 35 foot in a 32 foot spot. Just look at the picture of the site and make sure the bear box is off to the side and not at the back.
@@vincebotkin1960 thanks Vince!
Was this video shot a previous year? Cause the weather report says it was 16-32 degrees today and you're in T-shirts.
We’ve been going to GV since 2007. The A-Roll was shot last week but the video has GV footage from many different visits. No camping in GV now due to weather. ❄️
@@LongLongHoneymoon Thanks. I've never been there and am planning on visiting the Tetons towards the end of July. I guess it will surely be short sleeve weather by then.
In July, you will probably have warm sunny days, but there may still be a slight chill at night. There’s not much humidity out there to speak of. Overall, the weather in July should be very comfortable.
