Fireside Resort at Jackson Hole welcomes campers with pets in tent sites, RV spots, and cabin accommodations. Several miles from Wilson, this resort provides full hookups for RVs alongside fire pits, picnic tables, and designated pet areas. Curtis Canyon Dispersed Camping permits pets without breed restrictions, offering free primitive campsites northeast of Jackson. Leashed pets must be supervised at all campsites in the Wilson area, with most limiting pets to two per site. The Virginian RV Park enforces strict on-leash policies throughout its grounds and prohibits leaving pets unattended at campsites. Bathroom facilities remain clean and well-maintained across most pet-friendly campgrounds, though they vary in quality from premium to basic depending on location and amenities. Several sites near Phillips Bench Trailhead provide roadside camping opportunities where visitors can hear creek water sounds while keeping pets leashed.
Shadow Mountain Dispersed Camping and Upper Teton View Dispersed areas provide free camping options for pet owners accessing hiking trails. Sites at Phillips Bench Trailhead form a dirt circle with room for several vehicles but have no designated camping spots. Grand Teton National Park's Jenny Lake and Gros Ventre campgrounds both accept pets but require them to remain leashed at all times and never be left unattended. These areas experience significant wildlife activity including bears, requiring careful food storage and pet management. The dirt road access to dispersed camping locations can be rough in sections but remains passable for most vehicles. Most dispersed camping areas lack facilities but offer stunning mountain views as compensation. Campgrounds closer to Wilson provide easier access to veterinary services in Jackson, while those within Grand Teton National Park require longer drives for pet emergencies.
"This was the first place I ever camped in Wyoming and I’ve been back three times since! The views are amazing. The drive to the site is kind of rough but it’s definitely worth it."
"This experience was my first to Wyoming and the first glimpse of the beautiful Tetons! I did a climb with Summit for Someone (SFS), to raise money for underprivileged city youth."
from $78 / night
Check Availability"Shadow Mountain dispersed camping is just a few miles across the way from the Moose, Wyoming, entrance to Grand Teton National Park."
"Most of the campsites that we could get to with our camper are right next to each other, but there are actually 20 something campsites. Most are in the mountain."
"Pets are also welcome!"
"The drive up the gravel road is super fun and provides great views of the Tetons and wildlife. We stayed at campsite 1A."
"Quite little campground close to Jackson hole and several trails on the pass. You can reserve spots here or check out the dispersed camping just past the campground entrance."
"Only knock on this campground is the proximity to the highway, you can hear the traffic. Within walking distance of multiple trails."
from $17 / night
Check Availability"Same great views you'd expect anywhere near the Tetons; trailhead to Goodwin Lake is close by. Full Teton view is better at the trailhead, but its not far."
"I do NOT recommend the drive unless you have off road suspension or have a smaller vehicle."
"The campsites were well spaced and tucked into the trees for some privacy and space. The tent pads were level and each site had a bear box. Facilities were clean."
"The drive around the campground may be tight for some larger vehicles as it is one-way but is nicely paved. The pull-in for the campsites was very tight for my larger vehicle with bikes on the back."
from $13 - $58 / night
Check Availability"It was perfectly situated. The back is where the campers are and it was nicely situated. The sites weren’t huge but they were big enough. I loved taking a shower in the showers there."
"Clean bathrooms, super close proximity to the park and town, and quiet."
"Grand Teton was 11 miles away from south…in Jackson…access to anything you need. City bus stop nearby …free shuttle to get around. Library across street."
"The location offers an ideal balance of mountain scenery and access to town."
from $119 - $129 / night
Check Availability"We covered up and had bug spray but we (including the dogs) got eaten up. Besides that, this is a beautiful place. A little busy, as it was a weekend in July, but we had no problem finding spots."
"We drove in around 2pm on Sunday June 22, and tent camped. We picked spot 6, although all were open when we drove in. But we settled on that spot. We appreciated the bear boxes and fire rings."
"Up on the ridgeline, you can see the whole Teton range, and Curtis Canyon behind you! One fireput by the road, one other one out just a bit in the second pic."
"Walk down to the creek for some fishing. Bear sign visible."
LegendThis was the first place I ever camped in Wyoming and I’ve been back three times since! The views are amazing. The drive to the site is kind of rough but it’s definitely worth it.
LegendNice dog park for big and small dogs. At this campground, you are a little close to neighbors but they stagger the trailers so it works. Nice trees for shade. The restrooms were as clean but they were older facilities. No road noise.
ScoutStayed 4 nights, campground is well maintained. Check in went smothly. RV spots are on concrete and level. 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. Campground is about an hour and 15 minutes from The Grand Tetons. Not worth the drive for the amount of money it is to stay at this campground. The patios and grass area at RV sites are plush but if you have dogs you can't put up dog fencing. 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. We had neighbors that complained about our dogs playing to loudly. Then, on our last night we were doing some pre packing to leave the campground the next morning. It was 8:40pm and we heard a knock at our door, the dogs were being quiet and we weren't expecting anyone. Went to the door and it was an employee from the campground to tell us that we had our outside lights on. I was confused and asked the man what time it was? He said it's 8:45. Then, to confirm, I asked what time we had to have the lights turned off the outside and he said 10pm was quiet time and all lights should be off. I assured him we had read the rules and we knew we had to have the lights off by 10pm and we also knew when quiet time started, and that we were planning on having the lights off before then. We weren't doing anything wrong so why in the world did he come to our RV to tell us our lights were on as if we were doing something wrong. Felt unwelcomed, our money is as good as anyone else's. Very RUDE!
LegendMeticulously cared for family owned and run campground with log cabins. Many pros to this campground... Nice wide sites, most pull through, clean showers and laundry room. The people who run it are super friendly and helpful. Great liquor store and great food truck attached to the grounds. great hook ups, reception and even better WiFi. Only cons are that it is just off Hwy 89, but you don't hear road noise at night. No dog park and is over an hour to Grand Teton and Jackson Hole. We did find great hiking only a few minutes from the campground. We would definitely recommend this place. The owners are constantly out doing improvements, which impressed us a great deal
TravelerHost is amazing! Campgrounds are good sizes and accommodates Travel trailers and fifth wheels. Does have group camping. No water hookup, no electricity and no showers. There is noises from the vehicles on the road nearby. It is close to the roads. Pet friendly.
GuideAs others have said the cabins are beautiful as is the entrance. The RV sites have all the basics you need and the park is very quiet and peaceful. The thing I didn't appreciate for the price we are paying is trash in our site and others people's pet waste that hadn't been picked up. Gross. I really hope they upgrade the sites a bit and improve the weeds to grass as it is a great location.
ScoutBeautiful place to camp. The water is shallow and surrounded by mountains. You have to wade through mud to get to the water (which is also muddy). You can also still hear the highway traffic, but not bad. We visited in August, so the fires made the area hazy. The up sides: lots of space and privacy. Camp sites are super far apart in comparison to others. Fire pits are available and drift wood is everywhere. Some spots have trees for hammocks. Pet friendly and lots of bird watching.
LegendOverall great. Just overpriced. All amenities for the full family. Campground is pet friendly but not national park off paved roads or sidewalk. Beautiful place friendly staff just over priced camping.
GuideFree dispersed camping with an amazing view. We definitely enjoyed our stay. There were 16 sites total at this campground and the road gets tougher as you go. We had great AT&T and Sprint service at our campsite (1A). Mosquitos are abundant so come prepared. We also did see a bear at our campsite just down the valley but did not bother us. Pets are also welcome!
The Wilson area provides camping opportunities on both sides of Teton Pass at elevations ranging from 6,100 to 8,500 feet. Summer temperatures typically range from 40-85°F with dramatic cooling at night. Most campgrounds close by mid-October due to early snowfall in the region.
Mountain biking near Mike Harris: Access popular trails including Rush Hour and Nemo directly from Mike Harris. "There are beautiful wildflower hikes nearby (bring bear spray for hiking), numerous mountain biking opportunities, and easy and scenic drives on both sides of Teton Pass," notes Gretchen B. The campground serves as an excellent base for multiple activities.
Explore Curtis Canyon Overlook: Drive the switchback road to Curtis Canyon Dispersed Camping for panoramic views. "We loved it aside from the road, which we survived in a Acura MDX," writes Caroline R. The rough drive rewards visitors with spectacular vantage points of the Jackson valley and Teton range.
Wildlife viewing opportunities: Look for moose at Gros Ventre Campground during early morning or evening hours. "Moose in the campground almost daily," reports Ted K. Wildlife sightings are common throughout the Wilson area, requiring proper food storage and awareness.
Affordable alternatives to Jackson lodging: During peak season, Curtis Canyon Campground provides economical options compared to in-town accommodations. "We stayed three nights and really enjoyed it. $20 a night was definitely worth it especially compared to the cost of hotels in Jackson which ran $350+ due to the rodeo being in town," shares Layla P.
Easy access to paved bike paths: Fireside Resort connects to the regional pathway system. "It's close to downtown Jackson Hole, so you can drive into town for anything you need with a quick 10 minute drive, but far enough away that you don't hear traffic or city noise," according to Chris H. These pathways link Wilson to Teton Village and Jackson.
Quick access to Grand Teton National Park: Upper Teton View Dispersed sites sit just minutes from park boundaries. "This really is the most amazing view. We got here about 2:30pm on a Friday. May 30 2025. It had some people in the best spots but we were able to get a spot with a view," reports Lori J. The proximity allows for easy day trips into the park.
Limited cell service in canyon areas: Coverage varies significantly throughout the Wilson region. "I have Starlink Mini and was able to get acceptable WiFi reception," mentions Joe A. at Curtis Canyon Campground. Reception improves at higher elevation sites with clear southern exposure.
Road conditions vary significantly: Many dispersed camping areas require careful driving. "The road up is a little rough but made it fine towing our 38ft 5th wheel," explains Chuck S. about Shadow Mountain Dispersed Camping. Road conditions worsen after rainfall, particularly on dirt access roads.
Early arrival recommended: Popular free sites fill quickly in summer. "We arrived around 2PM on our first day and all sites were full, we came back around 8 the next morning and found one site available for us to take," advises Ryan L. This pattern applies to most dog friendly campgrounds near Wilson, especially on weekends.
Choose developed sites with bear boxes: Jenny Lake Campground provides secure food storage critical for families. "Nice sites, and not as busy since they don't have as many 'amenities'... I mean you are camping right? Flush toilets, tables, fire pits, wildlife right outside your tents amazing views should be more than enough amenities," mentions Elliott B.
Consider higher elevation in July/August: Sites above 8,000 feet stay cooler during summer heat. "We went left and were able to grab a Mountain View in open air. We passed a couple of other spots that had lots of shade as well and a little more privacy," shares Avery O. about Shadow Mountain's diverse camping options.
Look for established play areas: Some campgrounds offer natural features kids enjoy. Phillips Bench Trailhead includes creek access popular with families. "Pull off on RIGHT small area with a beautiful waterfall fed pond!" describes Lori F. Many dog friendly campgrounds near Wilson Wyoming feature streams or small ponds.
Maximum size limitations: Many dispersed sites cannot accommodate large rigs. "I would not recommend attempting to get to the higher sites but the ones at the entrance would suite you well," advises Tyler M. about Shadow Mountain. Sites along maintained forest roads offer better access for larger vehicles.
Limited hookup options: Full-service sites are scarce near Wilson. "This year, everything is different. It's off-season, but I still had to wait at 9 AM, for about an hour in a line of 20 cars to get a spot," reports Farah C. about competition for serviced sites at Gros Ventre. Prepare for dry camping at most locations.
Weather-dependent access: Spring and fall conditions affect site availability. "Most of this area is not open in early May, and the part of it that is open is packed with people. Wouldn't recommend in spring," notes Brianna S. regarding seasonal limitations at certain campgrounds.
