Best Glamping near Dubois, WY

This ski area has developed summer camping options. There is a camping area with several tent cabins, teepees, and 6 RV spots. Also a general tent camping area. Shower house is available to campers or $5 fee if just buying a shower. The 6 RV spots are very tight together and have zero shade (hence the three stars). RV spots with water and electric are $30, $20 no hookups. Tent cabins and teepees $30, bring your own tent $12. There are hiking and Mt biking trails for summer use. However, Fremont CG and Trails End CG are only $12/$6 senior per nite for "dry" RV camping and that is likely why the camping area at white pine was completely empty on a week in July. Too bad as it is a small local operation...but the close proximity to FS CGs is too much.

We stayed one night at this KOA on our way to the Grand Tetons National Park from Wind Cave National Park. It was a nice campground and we enjoyed our stay. Staff was friendly and had our site ready for us upon arrival.

This campground is what we tend to expect from staying at a KOA. We had a pull-thru site that was in the trees and relatively level gravel site. When ever possible we enjoy sites in the tress. We were in a shorter pull-thru site but with our extended cab truck and our 25' trailer, we pretty much maxed out the length of the site but were able to stay hooked up. The hookups worked well but the water connection was very low to the ground which required us to change up our normal fresh water setup, but everything worked out well with a little modifications on our end. 

On most of our one night stays we have a tendency to stick in-side of our tailer, have dinner, and go to bed. This night we ended up sitting out side with our portable fire pit and listening to the river near by.

If we were ever traveling through this area again we would stay here again.

This campground features nine small-ish sites through the center section of the woods with two new larger sites right by the highway. The 2 newer sites have water and electric, but I believe it's only during the active season as they were not available when we stayed. Most are back in however there are a few that are pull through. If you depend on solar you're going to have a lot of shading in this park. It is free in the off-season, we stayed the first week of October with no reservations required. there are two water spigots in the center of the park that are also off during the off season, but there is a vault toilet available year round. In the center of the park are some tent usable sites. During season there's trash service but it is also padlocked shut during the off-season. Each site does feature a bear resistant food enclosure and a nice picnic table. The view of the Stars here is phenomenal. Just another side of the highway is a babbling Creek that you get to listen to. We stayed at a site near the highway but the highway noise really did not bother us. There is overflow parking nearby so if there are no sites available and you just need a place to park for the night there were several people who took advantage of that. Just up the road from this campground are some dispersed camping options which are free year round. The park ranger station is about a quarter mile from the entrance and there's also a gas station within a half mile of the entrance. We found The Virginian RV park in Jackson hole to be a good place to dump and refill for a modest fee of $10. The Shell station on Broadway also has fresh water and propane service but no longer offers a dump service.

Dubois/Wind River KOA, Dubois , Wyoming

Dubois , Wyoming is another town on the old west trail. I only stayed overnight after Grand Teton NP but would have stayed longer had my schedule allowed to explore more. It is a little touristy but there is history there if you search it out.

The KOA was a smaller one, back behind a gas station which was convenient. There are cool TP’s that you can rent and the cabins site along the Wind River which makes for some nice scenery when you are chilling at the campground. Don’t look to hard though, across the river is a neighborhood. The road in was a little rough and the gravel needed some maintenance, otherwise it was a well maintained parking lot like so many of the KOA’s are now. The playground equipment looked archaic! I did not use any of the facilities so I have no information on them and there was no dog park. I arrived after close, found my paperwork on the lite kiosk and I left out in the morning before the office opened. For the price I expect more but it seems like the area dictates the quality of the KOA.

We were nervous driving from Westgate Yellowstone to this campground not knowing if any sites would be available as this is a first come first served campground. Got here on Thursday morning and there were 4 sites available. This is a great campsite for tents and camper vans, However we have a 31’ travel trailer with one slide-out. It fit in site 6 with no problems. There are no hook ups at this campground, you do have access to fresh water and non-plumbed toilets. They do allow generators between 8 and 10, however  we did not run ours very much because people come here to get away from the noise. Each site is $15 a night and comes with a table/bench and fire pit. They use the envelope system so make sure you put your tag on your campsite post to secure your location. The Creek allows swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, and fishing. As expected the water is not clear and can get a little choppy when the wind picks up. All-and-all this was the first time in our trip that we truly felt disconnected and could relax. It’s worth the extra drive! Take some time and drive further into the valley it is gorgeous. Also the camp-host is very helpful and friendly. P.S. If you need to dump your tanks the Virginia RV park in Jackson let’s you dump your tanks for $15.
