Wydaho Playground

1 site · Lodging1 acre · Alpine, WY

Alpine, WY - More than you can do in one trip! This is truly a destination for nature lovers and outdoor adventurers. You can make yourself a home base in our 38' Skoolie, and go anywhere from there every day of the year. Access to thousands upon thousands of acres of public land. Enjoy a stay on the shore of Idaho's Palisades Reservoir mid June - October. Stay the winter at higher elevation November - May in our neighborhood on the edge of the Bridger-Teton National Forest. Where to start? Everything you could think of to do outdoors is right here at your fingertips. The bus has typical RV shore power and a battery bank. We intend to install solar panels for the 2024 season. Diesel heater, compost toilet, water tanks with pump to sink. Propane stove/oven. Fridge, microwave, toaster oven. Normal outlets, charging docks, LED lighting. Summers at the reservoir are a near off grid experience. Limited power/ utility access. Dogs allowed as per insurance policy - please check with me before booking! Winters in the neighborhood are a bit more civilized. Full power, plugged into the house. Access to shower and laundry. We have two dogs, therefore do not allow dogs to stay with our winter campers. AWD is often necessary for the hill to our property. We are 38 miles from Jackson and roughly two hours from Yellowstone (depending on route). Locally, only a few minutes from all the hiking, swimming, fishing, kayaking, surfing, skiing, snowmobiling, etc etc that you could ask for. In Alpine there are a number of summertime public events hosted by the town, local community center, and private businesses. Indoors winter activity options such as bingo nights hosted by Top of the Rockies benefit the VA or the Alpine Holiday market. All year long the public enjoys karaoke and bands hosted by the Bull Moose Saloon or Melvin Brewery, 4th of July and Winterfest light parades, etc etc. It's not a long drive to nearby towns for even more options. And no matter where you go or what you do, the scenery is always first-class.

Lakeside camping near Jackson guide

Overview

Conveniently located in one of the most beautiful western landscapes, Jackson Lake is formed by a dam on the Snake River. It borders Grand Teton National Park, where stunning mountains loft high above the cold waters. Fishing for trout and boating are excellent ways to enjoy this spectacular place during a lake camping trip, and waterfront camping options give campers a reason to pitch a tent right on the lakeshore. Jackson Hole is set immediately to the south, offering a place to stock up on groceries before hitting the lake, and Dubois is another great town to the southeast with plenty of opportunities to experience Wyoming's rich cowboy and cowgirl culture. The lake itself offers more than just camping as well—waterfront cabin rentals in the area make for comfortable stays where you can have a warm bed and big kitchen to cook dinners after a long day of fishing. Stop and take advantage of the lake while exploring the beauty of the national parks and surrounding region near Jackson.
