Hatchet Campground

Small campground, convenient location.

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.
