Grant Village

Grant Village is a developed area of Yellowstone National Park, offering lodging, camping and other visitor services. It is located on the southwest side of Yellowstone Lake, about 2 miles (3.2 km) south of West Thumb.

Grant Village was developed by the National Park Service and concessioners under the Mission 66 program, in an effort to relocate land-consuming visitor services and accommodations away from the park's major attractions and sensitive features. Grant Village was planned to allow the removal of development encroaching on the thermal basin at West Thumb.

Originally named "Thumb Bay," the development was first proposed in 1955 by Park Service director George Wirth to accommodate 2500 visitors with restaurants, gas stations, concessions and a marina.
