Confirmed by 2 users | Last reported on September 12, 2022We chose this campground based off of the website. I thought it looked remote and would be a great opportunity to star gaze. Boy was I fooled. This is probably the tightest park we have ever parked in and with absolutely no privacy what so ever. It feels old and run down and is far from an RV resort. It was basically just a very expensive parking spot at $99 a night. We found a lot of free camping in the area and will definitely do that next time. Besides the campground the Tetons didn’t disappoint.

I didn't attempt to make reservations until 4 or 5 months before our trip to Grand Teton NP - and I could get a reservation here.
On a positive note - the site was a pull through gravel site which was pretty level. Only the 50 Amp service worked at our site - the 30 Amp was not functional. While we have a 50 Amp trailer - anyone who wanted to use something else would have been out of luck.
The staff were friendly and guided us in a golf cart to our site and made sure everything was functional.

We wanted full hook-ups close to the Grand Tetons. This park is practically right outside the gate, and the price reflects it. Very expensive to stay here. The bathhouse was not clean. The sites were very short and very close together. They were so close that it would harm your neighbor’s camper to have a fire in the fire pit which was basically a hole in the ground. The back of our 35’ RV was in the shrubbery, and we had no place to park our car. The name has changed since the last review. It is now called Fireside Buffalo Valley RV Park.

Quiet little campground close to Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks that is situated right off the highway. Sites are small but the park wasn't very busy. Fire areas are small holes dug in the ground. Showers were clean, but outdated. Very well stocked camp store with food and supplies, as well as a gas station. Nice little bar with plenty of booze and generously portioned bar food. Staff was really friendly and helpful. Wireless Internet connection was a little hit and miss but did reach our site. I believe the name has changed to Fireside Buffalo Valley.

Grand Tetons Park RV "RESORT??"- AKA Fireside Buffalo Valley- Was not impressed by this place at all for $70 - Grocery/gas attached to the camp was overpriced and so was the out dated camp complete with mosquitoes galore (end of August). Showers where "clean", laundry mat was effective--- This end my review of Campground- Side note when we left and traveled through tourist town -Jackson Hole traveling south we discovered we spent to much time North of Jackson- if you fly fish, travel south!! Access is way better with more options. Jackson hole is really nice high end tourism, it is a pricey place, be aware. Regular folks might want to venture south of Jackson if your on a budget.

I decided to get a water and electric site only to save money, even then I was paying $67.85 a night! The most I've ever paid to date for a campground. And then when I was ready to leave the campground I was charged $10 to dump! I've never paid to dump in a campground I was staying in before, this should have been free; their logic was that if you paid the extra $30/night you would have sewer! I saved $90 over 3 nights but had to spend $10 to dump.
The staff didn't seem to really know their park. I was 30 amp and when I started to hookup to my assigned site I discovered that the site had 2 10 amp plugs but no 30 amp (or 50). Their map showed site #28 as 30 amp but it was not, how can they not know this? I called and got moved to site 23 for my 3 nights. The second night I was there a couple pulled in next to me at 10pm wondering where their electric and water site was and thought I was in their site. The signage is ambiguous and you don't feel like you know what site is yours. Turns out several people just took the site they wanted and not the assigned site so this couple was just out of luck! I split my water and loaned them a 30-to-15 amp plug for the night and they parked in an area that was near me but not a site.
Each site has a picnic table and the most dangerous fire pit I've ever seen, they are just a deep hole in the ground; I almost fell into the one in my space. Several other sites had pits that were almost 2' deep! It was very dangerous to say the least.
See the map in the photo section, spots 21-28 have no sewer, spots 123-175 are the "new section" and have full hookups but are very tightly spaced sites.
There is a Phillips 66 gas station and they sell propane at the campground. There is a tiny bar and a pool table in the main building, with a little store selling food and some camping supplies. The park had wifi but I could never even find the wifi name much less use it.
The location was pretty good for the Tetons National Park and Jackson, WY. It was a little to far for Yellowstone for day trips. The afternoon view of the mountains were the best thing about this campground.

Too expensive for the lack of amenities but the views and location are great. Small site very close together and fairly level, but the sitting area is not with ruts and very uneven. Wi-Fi doesn't work well with out an extender. One of the worst I've ever stayed at and one of the most expensive. No trees or landscaping. The reservation staff is not very friendly. If you're full-timers and need to get mail, don't...they will only accept mail via FedEx and UPS. The mosquitos are crazy. You can't go outside in the late afternoon without getting eaten up even with bug spray on, which probably come from the stagnant creek surrounding the park. The park is dirty with bird poop everywhere in the public areas. I will pass on this campground next time I'm in the area. For the money, I would have expected a pool, concrete sites, polite customer service and some insect control spraying.

The most money I’ve ever paid to get chewed up by mosquitoes was spent at this resort. The “water” around the campsite must be a breeding ground for these things. We spent 4 days in Yellowstone and the Tetons and the only place we got but was at our campsite. It was so bad we stayed in our camper three of the four nights because we learned our lesson on night one. Bathrooms obviously not cleaned regularly as the same black T-shirt was in the men’s room the entire stay. Don’t get me started with their “WiFi” they advertise. Would not recommend although the location is great for the National parks.

It's hard to beat the location with the entrance to the Grand Teton NP being so close, but it is overpriced for the condition of the park and the amenities. The park accommodates a lot of people; however there is no trash pick up so you have to walk to the dumpster by the office when needed (we didn't mind the walk, but we have stayed at places half this much and they at least had a trash pick up); the laundry room was not very clean and had a small amount of functioning dryers for the size of the park. Only 5 of the 9 dryers were able to be used. The others had "Out of Order" signs on them. Had to wait for a dryer because of this maintenance issue. Nearest grocery was Albertsons in Jackson (35 mins away) so I would suggest planning ahead.
WIFI & CELL SERVICE: Wifi worked shockingly well for how busy their park was. I give it a 4 out of 5. AT&T cell service - 3 out of 4 bars.
SITE: Gravel in the entire park. Level. We were second to last in our row which reduced in dust as cars went by. Along with it not being very windy, this enabled us to have our windows open the majority of the time to let the fresh mountain air in - that was awesome! The mosquitos were pretty bad in the evenings, but were hard to find during the day. Looked out into surrounding pastures with the backdrop of the Tetons and horses across the street.
NEARBY SITES: Suggestions: Thai Me Up - great restaurant in Jackson; Moo's Ice Cream - delicious in Jackson; the 35 mile bike look from Jackson --> Moran --> Teton Village --> back to Jackson - it was the best and we even biked right past a grizzly taking a swim! We rented bikes from Hoback Bike Rentals in Jackson

Will not let you check in even 5 minutes before 2 pm even though the camp was almost empty.
Ground is barren and basically a gravel lot. Probably one of worst campgrounds and most expensive we have ever stayed in. $79 INCLUDING TAX
Avoid it if you can.
