Falling behind is always my terror in blogging. I’ll get busy, things come up and the next thing I know you I’m a couple of months behind on posts. I then feel overwhelmed with the amount of writing I have to do to get caught up mixed with guilt of not doing what I need to do. Then I just give up …

Well, I don’t want to give up so soon, so in this case I’m going to have to make a compromise to keep this thing going. So here are inadequate but necessary catch-up posts of our travels from the end of this year. I’ll try to be better going forward.

This is the sort of spot you dream about when you start thinking about RV travel. Admittedly, it’s not a secret, but with plenty of room for everyone, this is a spot not to be missed. And even though you won’t be alone, compared to many of the other campgrounds in the Grand Teton/Yellowstone area, you will feel like you are truely in wilderness.

Access is fairly straightforward for most sized rigs, though there are a couple of blind turns and a few spots where two rigs passing would be difficult. If you have a tow vehicle, I would recommend sending the second vehicle up to the top to hold traffic. That said, we never had a problem on the four times we took the trailer along the road.

Affordable RV camping in the Yellowstone/Grand Teton area is hard to come by. We were happy therefore to find a more affordable option just across the Tetons from Jackson, WY in Victor, ID at the Teton Valley RV Park. The regular full service spots are pretty close together and at between $51-$62 a night were a bit pricy for what you get. However, they have several grass-lined water and electricity only sites that are really nicely spaced with a nice view over the fields towards the mountains. Additionally, at $43 a night, this is pretty good rate for the area where spots can go for upwards of $150 a night. Additionally, they have a 10% discount for Good Sams members.
