Can you hammock in Grand Teton National Park?

Can I hammock here?
🟡 Restrictions apply

Yes at campgrounds like Colter Bay that list hammocks as permitted equipment, though the park has no detailed hammock rule.

The rules
  • Colter Bay Campground sites list Hammock as permitted equipment on Recreation.gov.
  • We found no hammock specific rule in the Superintendent's Compendium.
  • Camping is only allowed in designated campgrounds and backcountry sites. Backcountry camping requires a permit.
  • Strict food storage rules apply because of bears.
Permits
Campground reservation through Recreation.gov, or a backcountry camping permit.
How sure are we?
Partly confirmed: no hammock-specific rule published. Last checked 2026-10.
