Jackson Hole Campground

We are very disappointed in the campground. It’s situated behind «Fireside Resort», a nice lineup of modular, upscale structures. We really enjoyed taking a little tour of them because we’re purchasing a tiny home in the future and the plans of the structures were at the top of our list. That’s where the «Resort» aspect ended. The campground where we stayed does not by any means have a resort feel. The office does not match the quality caliber of their Fireside Resort structures. The girl who helped us was nice enough but by no means went out of her way to be warm or inviting. When I called ahead to reserve a space she did not offer any information, I had to ask everything I wanted to know about the RV spots. And when we asked for a different location on the lot she failed to tell us it was a 50amp only site. We had already leveled everything and unhitched the truck so we had to dig out our adapter (we thankfully had) in the pouring rain. There are also a few uninhabited rv’s sitting in a few spots. It doesn’t give off a safe, resort feel. Also, we were told by the female worker that the office would close at 6pm. I walked to the office in the pouring rain at 5pm to purchase a few items and it was already closed.
And the most upsetting part of this is that our site was $ 67 for the off season! Absolutely ridiculous. I wished I would’ve taken the other reviews more seriously and picked a different location. The two pro’s are the cleanliness of the bathrooms and the wifi that reached us even at the back of the lot. If they focused on the RV area as they did the Fireside area, it has some decent potential.

If this campground had lower prices and larger spots I would have given it a higher rating. We paid $ 80 a night in mid October. The campground itself is really pretty. You can see the Tetons and surrounding mountains. All the trees were yellow which made a pretty effect. Our spot was so tiny that when the neighbor pulled in and opened their slide out it took over our whole hang out area. We could barely sit on the picnic table. The showers were also pretty gross. The showers had build up and had not been cleaned in months. While there were two shower stalls you could only use one shower at a time because one shower did not get hot water. I also want to mention that I did not appreciate one of the maintenance guys whistling at me while walking with my kids. He also yelled something to me on our walk back. I wish I had gone and complained. This was the only campground open so we were thankful it was there. Not so sure I would ever go back to it. I posted some photos of the trailers lined up.

The cabins might be nice, but the campground is horrible. The «Jackson Hole Campground» and recently changed the name to Fireside Resort
We were totally misled about being upscale and being a RESORT. It is a very old
campground, poorly maintained, and a mosquito infested nightmare. The sites are
totally covered with small mounds and depressions as if horses were kept here, and my wife twisted her ankle in the grass.
The staff is not interested in hearing about our concerns and continued to
babble about how the facility is upscale.
The electric hookups are questionable as we were having problems with the breaker switch. At best, this place is worth $ 40 per night and they are charging $ 125. BEWARE!
BTW they will not take a deposit, but instead, demand payment in full when the reservation is made, and is NOT refundable. That should have been my first red flag to run.

The previous reviews are not completely off. This place is very over priced for what you get and the spots are tight and they just put some big boulders in to protect the grass but they make the spots even more difficult to get in. But it seems they are trying to improve the park. They are planting new grass seed, trying to even out the gravel, making new signs. The cabins look really nice. The park is quiet and peaceful and there was a moose in our campsite our last night! Basically you stay here if the Virginian is full and you still want to be close to jackson.

What DUMP! Website very decieving! Real name is fireside. Sites r unlevel wireless worthless. Worth 30 per night max. This is only my second review in 2 yrs so u know this is legit…

I would give this place negative stars if I could! They said they could accommodate our 40ft RV. They shouldn’t even offer for RVs to stay there, because the roads and sites are so narrow! We almost weren’t able to make it out! The roads were very muddy with lots of potholes. We drove right by it because the sign out front said Fireside instead of Jackson Hole Campground. Tiny sites and dirty bathrooms. Overall a horrible and stressful experience. The only thing going for it was it’s proximity to downtown Jackson.

We came to the campground very late and it was about to rain, we did the check-​in in 10 seconds and headed to our test site. Unlike other reviews, we did parked by our site, we did get wi-​fi and the web site specifically said there are no individual water faucets.
The showers were great, the campground very quiet and next to a stream.
We had a great time and slept like babies :-).

Like a lot of things in Jackson, you don’t really get what you pay for at this campground. We stayed at a tent site here during a cross-​country camping tour, and paid about twice as much as any other campsite. You don’t get internet, or an electric hook-​up, or a water faucet at your site. On top of that, you don’t even get to drive up to your individual site, as the way the campground are laid out, you have to park, then schlep your stuff over. This isn’t such a big deal, but it also means that at night, you’ll have to walk through other’s campsites to get to the communal water faucet/​bathroom/​showers, which is a bummer.
But I knew all this going in — reservable campsites are hard to come by in the high season, and I guess I can’t dock too many stars for the business taking advantage of that. On the plus side, you can’t beat the location — 15 minute from the Tetons and 10 from Jackson, maybe an hour to the south entrance of Yellowstone. Pretty close to the Snake River, and there’s Elevated Grounds, a great coffee shop, practically across the street. The grounds are pretty enough, and well-​kempt.
Bottom-​line: you’ll pay for the location, and you won’t get many amenities in return. And not in a «we’re in the wilderness» lack of amenities kind of way, in a «this is what you get for being too cheap to pay for a hotel room» kind of way.
