RV parks near Jackson, Wyoming operate primarily from May through mid-October, closing during winter months due to heavy snowfall. The area sits at elevations between 5,000-7,000 feet, creating distinct camping conditions across seasons. Cell service varies significantly throughout the region, with better connectivity in parks closer to town and limited coverage in more remote locations.
What to do
River access activities: Warren Bridge Campground offers convenient access to the Green River for fishing and water activities. "Right on the river. Had good cell coverage. Would recommend this place," notes one visitor about this Bureau of Land Management site located about an hour south of Jackson.
Hot springs exploration: Alpine Valley RV Resort provides a central location for visiting nearby hot springs. "There is also a nice, new hot springs, Astoria, between Alpine and Hoback Junction," explains a reviewer who appreciated this amenity during their stay.
Local brewery visits: Teton Valley Resort in Victor, Idaho serves as a good base for exploring local craft beer. "Victor is a charming small town with several breweries and a locally sourced grocery market. We really enjoyed the town, especially compared to West Yellowstone, which is where we went next," shares one camper.
What campers like
Evening community activities: Teton Valley Resort offers organized social events for guests. "My personal favorite… they have little s'more bags that they give you and do little community bonfires each night," reports a camper who appreciated these gatherings.
On-site pool amenities: Virginian RV Park provides swimming options right at the campground. "The Virginian Lodge right next door has a very nice inner corridor with a new pool, 2 hot tubs and plenty of seating areas with fire pits and string lights. It is available for campground guests and open 10-10," explains a visitor who enjoyed the facilities.
Convenient local transportation: Public transportation options make RV camping near Jackson easier for getting around. "City bus stop nearby…free shuttle to get around. Library across street," notes a camper at Virginian RV Park who appreciated not having to move their rig for local exploration.
What you should know
Site spacing considerations: Alpine Valley RV Resort offers concrete pads but limited privacy between sites. "The sites all looked very level and are decently sized for a private campground," observed one reviewer, while another mentioned the park is "still under construction" with improvements ongoing.
Water pressure variations: Many parks have high water pressure requiring equipment adjustment. "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," reported a camper at Alpine Valley RV Resort.
Price expectations: RV parks in the Jackson area tend to be more expensive than in surrounding regions. "Price was still a little high, but paying for location I guess," noted one camper about Virginian RV Park. Several reviewers across multiple parks commented on the high cost relative to amenities provided.
Tips for camping with families
Pool and activity amenities: Colter Bay RV Park offers family-friendly facilities within Grand Teton National Park. "You could spend your entire vacation here without leaving the campground. The landscape is breathtaking—like the water temperature of Colter Bay," shares a visitor who enjoyed the family amenities.
Ranger programs: National Park campgrounds offer educational opportunities for children. "Church at the amphitheater was enjoyable, and the grocery store provided necessary items and ice cream treats daily!" notes a Colter Bay visitor who appreciated the programming.
Dog park quality: Some RV parks have dedicated pet areas with varying quality. "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," noted a visitor at one campground, highlighting limitations for families traveling with pets.
Tips from RVers
Site orientation assistance: Warren Bridge Campground offers level pull-through sites that accommodate larger rigs. "Small BLM campground along Green River. 16 sites all pull through, 21 miles outside of Pinedale WY on main highway #191. Water spigots around, vault toilets, garbage can at each site," explains one RVer about this affordable option.
Dump station availability: "The dump station is a nice addition - for overall price of 10$ I rate this campground 5/5," notes a visitor about Warren Bridge Campground, highlighting this practical amenity that many RVers seek when traveling between destinations near Jackson.
Utility setup challenges: Some parks have hookup configurations that don't align with all RV types. "The only problem with this park is the sewer electric water setup which was designed for class C RVs and is too far back for class As. The owner assured us he was planning on fixing the problem this winter," reported a visitor at Rusty Spur RV Park.
