What you should know
Summer reservations: Book 3+ months ahead for July-August stays. Campgrounds fill quickly during peak season. "Grey's was one of two places in this area to answer their phone on a Saturday, and were extremely accommodating and flexible on arrival times," reports Sterling B., highlighting the challenge of last-minute booking.
Highway access considerations: The drive to Wolf Den RV Park is more level than routes to Jackson. "The campground is very well kept and the owner is very helpful. Great view of the mountains from any site and in all directions," notes Debra M., who appreciated the straightforward drive.
Water pressure management: Bring regulators when camping at certain RV parks. "So glad we already had a water regulator. We were told as we were checking in that we definitely needed one due to pressure being 90psi," shares one camper at Alpine Valley RV Resort.
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Choose sites away from play areas if seeking quiet. "If you're near the playground the kids are having fun and it gets loud," advises Durango H. about Alpine Valley RV Resort, suggesting location selection matters for noise-sensitive campers.
Dog-friendly considerations: Check pet area amenities before booking. "The dog play area had 1 bench for owners to sit. The gate for the dog park was very loosely secured. No water hose or faucet available to get water for your dog while at dog park," notes one visitor reviewing Alpine's pet facilities.
Avoid tent camping near bars: Noise can continue until early morning hours. "Don't tent camp here. The tent area is about 20 yards from an extremely loud bar. People are outside it yelling til after 2am. Awful," warns Rachel about the tent sites at Greys River Cove RV Park.
Tips from RVers
Level site availability: Grand Buffalo RV Resort offers 50 sites with water and electric hookups. "Had a decent night here. Maybe when it is fully complete it will be luxury, but for now… no way and not worth the luxury price," reports Kandi R., suggesting expectation management for newer facilities.
Winter access: Check road conditions if traveling November through April. "Only cons are that it is just off Hwy 89, but you don't hear road noise at night... We would definitely recommend this place. The owners are constantly out doing improvements, which impressed us a great deal," notes deb K. about Wolf Den RV Park.
Connectivity options: WiFi reliability varies between rv parks near Alpine. "The CG WiFi was also quite good, with antennas spaced every other site with speeds up to 7.5 MB/s," reports Ray & Terri F., adding that "AT&T coverage was good, ranging from 2-3 Bars of LTE with service up to 8.5 MB/s."
