What to do
Golfing at Aspen Acres: Play on an 18-hole par 3 course at Yellowstone Golf Resort at Aspen Acres RV Park where you're surrounded by "rolling hills of farmer's fields." A camper noted that it's "nestled in an Aspen grove" making it a scenic spot for golfers who want to camp near their hobby.
Fishing access: Walk five minutes from Greys River Cove to fish directly from the riverbank. "Located right next to the Snake River with mountain views," this park gives anglers easy water access without needing to drive to fishing spots.
Swimming and relaxing: Use the pool facilities at Teton Valley Resort where a visitor described the "amazing pool and hot tub" amenities. Another camper appreciated that "they have little s'more bags that they give you and do little community bonfires each night."
What campers like
Clean bathroom facilities: At Alpine Valley RV Resort, campers appreciate the "clean, private bathrooms" and note the park is "modern in every respect with large, well landscaped grounds." The construction phase mentioned in several reviews has progressed, with newer facilities now available.
Mountain scenery: Sites at Alpine Valley offer "great mountain views all around" with one camper noting there are "concrete pads, outdoor table and chairs provided, great landscaping, fire pits." The setting provides views in all directions without needing to leave your campsite.
Town accessibility: The Virginian RV Park location allows easy access to Jackson, with a camper noting "The public bus is also free and the campground provides a schedule and detailed map of the city if you want to utilize that." Another mentioned, "City bus stop nearby...free shuttle to get around. Library across street."
What you should know
Variable pricing: RV parks in the area charge premium rates during peak season. One camper at the Virginian RV Park shared that it was "the most expensive campground that we been. $108! Not fool hookups!" Another noted that while they "would love to stay here again for longer, but the price is very high (as is everything in Jackson Hole)."
Site spacing concerns: Several RV parks have tight spacing between sites. At Snake River Cabins & RV Village, a visitor noted that "the cramped RV sites are too close for comfort" and "when you can reach out and touch your neighbors, it dampens the experience."
Amenity differences: Facilities vary widely between parks. Colter Bay RV Park offers basics without frills, as one visitor stated: "There is no Wi-Fi but there is laundry with a change machine, they have showers with warm water and toilets."
Tips for camping with families
Tent sites by water: Choose riverfront spots at Snake River Cabins & RV Village where "tent sites seemed to be situated in prime spots along the river and creek." A camper noted the "great atmosphere with lots of kids running around" making it suitable for families.
On-site activities: Colter Bay RV Park at Colter Bay Village offers evening ranger talks that one visitor called "really marvelous." The location includes "a lovely and well supplied market, a laundromat and pay showers" all within the village complex.
Off-season timing: Visit in May or September for fewer crowds and lower rates. "We were under the impression you had to camp in Colter Bay to use the shower but it's $4.25 and open to the park," noted one camper, highlighting that facilities remain accessible even if you're staying elsewhere.
Tips from RVers
Site positioning: At the Virginian RV Park, staff has specific parking requirements. One RVer noted they are "particular where you park vehicles....most had trailer pulled all the way forward, disconnect if needed and parked vehicle sideways at back."
Hookup configurations: Check utility layouts before booking. At Greys River Cove, a visitor mentioned the "sewer electric water setup which was designed for class c RVs and is too far back for class As."
Dump station access: Limited dump stations require planning. Non-guests at the Virginian pay $15 to use the facility, while other parks like Alpine Valley provide this service to registered guests only.
