First be aware that this campground has been renamed Fireside Resort.
While a little out of the way, we found it perfect for exploring Grand Teton National Park. Be aware that the Jackson traffic is horrible as most of it is 2 lane roads. So it will extend getting to/from the campground. It was quiet. The grounds are well kept. The sites are gravel with a parallel swath of grass. Picnic tables. The fire rings are in the process of being replaced. You can use your own like a Solo Stove. We had electric only. Lucked out with a pull thru site with a water spigot at the end. Made it easy to fill the water tank. The wi-fi is excellent even in the evening when everyone is back. Nothing went wrong so we did not have to interact with the staff other than check-in which went smoothly. A lot of sites have shade especially the ones along the parameter. We did see a moose pass through one evening!

This was to be our halfway stop between Death Valley and Sequoia for just one night. However, Mother Nature decided to drop a lot of spring snow on Sequoia and basically shut it down. Time to figure out Plan B. Fortunately, the office rep was able to work it out so we could stay in our site for another night. Very much appreciate that effort. It is cold and rainy so did not want to hitch up and move. The campground is small and well laid out. All are pull-thru spots with a decent sized tree between each. Nice to have with the wind. Our site is slanted, but easy to level the trailer. The office has a book swap library and a small selection of DVDs. There is wi-fi, but is fee based from a third party. The laundry is clean and $1.75 a load using an app. Be sure to spend some time in the downtown area. It is vibrant with lots of character and murals. Would be fun to be here when the neighboring glider airport is up and running.

We needed an overnight on our drive. Called ahead about 3 hours before we thought we would arrive. Dave said to come on in. Plenty of space. How can you pass up $25 for electricity and water! There is a dump station if needed. The site was a pull-thru with a nice shade tree (as most were). It was just 4 miles north of I-90 and very quiet. It is next to the City Pool. Entry fee is $3. Well worth it after a long day's drive. While there, be sure to check out Porter Sculpture Park just south of Montrose on I-90. This is filled with whimsical metal sculptures

Used this hidden gem as an overnight stop. It is in the county of Madison where the covered bridges are located. It is also John Wayne's birthplace and there is the obligatory museum. The park is lovely - generously spaced out sites, full hookups, trees or meadow. Appears to be some long term folks. All very friendly. Next to the actual city park. Definitely take a stroll around the grounds - many chainsaw statues, playground, 1 covered bridge, many walking paths. If your GPS take you to that park, the campground entrance is a couple blocks away to the east. There is no check-in. If you have a reservation, there will be a slip on your site post.

While this is a dry camping campground, there is a full service dump station which makes it easy to stay here. The fee is due to having the annual pass. There is a lot of "mess" left over from a forest fire, but don't let that mire the view. Overall, it is great. Lots of good trails within the park. Be sure to go on the one to the campfire. No cell service or wi-fi in the visitors center. The towns of Newhalem and Diablo are company towns housing the workers for the dams and power plant. There is one general store in Newhalem. Definitely spend time exploring the Diablo Lake area. We had about 15 hours of steady rain which made all the waterfalls bigger and the river rushing more. There are waterfalls everywhere.

Used this for one overnight. Easy to access from the interstate. Electric was working. No potable water available via spigots due to time of year. Was able to get some from the bathhouse. Sites are well laid out. Can tell that in high season with all spots filled that it will not feel crowded. There are some pull throughs, but most are back-in. The two-way park roads are a bit narrow.

On a 3 month trip and wanted a few days to relax doing not much of anything. This place is perfect. Have a pull-thru with electric and water. Lots of mature trees. Cement and stone picnic table, firepit, and a stone grill. Can hear lines tapping sailboat masts and a faint fog horn in the distance. Very soothing! Great downtown area with lots of shops and restaurant. Saw seals from the T Wharf. Watched surfers at Morro Rock. Did a couple hikes behind the campground. Wood is available in the campground for $10 a bundle. Currently, there is some road construction / closure at the Route 1 / S Bay Blvd exit. There are frequent detour signs that will get you back to S. Bay Blvd. The dump station costs $10 for 15 minutes even if staying there.. Credit card only. Was outsourced about 4 months ago per ranger.

We liked this campground however it was not at full capacity. Check-in was easy. We had a back-in site with no one on either side of us. If we had, it would have felt very tight. You have to pull your vehicle in beside your trailer so not much "patio" space. Overall, it is laid out well. There are wide streets which help with maneuvering. Our site did have a slight slant towards the street. Easy to level. Careful with the water hookup. The valve when turned all the way to the right was not closed. It went past close to open again. Close was half way between full right and full left. The wi-fi was unreliable. It might be 5 bars, then drop to 1. It might connect and it might not. Our hotspot was better. The bathrooms, laundry room, and pool were all clean. Walmart across the street. It is next to a casino with a bowling alley and Dunkin Donuts! If your site is against two of the four walls, there will be street noise, but nothing excessive.

First, our rate is the senior, lifetime discount. Even without, it is a bargain! Pull-thru site on a slight slant. Easy to level. As the campground is built on a hill, our higher sight had great views of the mountains and valleys all around. The roads are in need of patching. Sites are large so no crowded feeling. The dump station is on a slant to be sure to approach it from the lower side. The Hi-View trail is great and can be accessed just above site 20 by using the West trail approach. They eventually cross. Go counter-clockwise so the ascent if more gradual. Definitely explore Park Boulevard into the northern section of the park. So much to see. We also went to Palm Springs for a day following a self guided driving tour of mid-century architecture homes and buildings.

First, do not arrive prior to 3:00pm. The gate will be closed and you will not be allowed in. We showed up 15 minutes early and had to back our trailer out onto the busy PCH then go find a place to sit until 3:00pm.
Am guessing this is a hard campground to get into without a reservation. So you should already know that there is no water, no dump station, no cell phone signal, etc. All is true. You come for the view. Since the campground is on a hill, every site has a view. That said, plan on having to level your RV more than you might be used to. There is firewood available for purchase. Site has a deep firepit and separate grill. For those camping in a site on the backside of the ranger site, know that a generator will be running a lot.
