We SCORED the best spot!! Would only stay again if we could secure the same spot. The views in the back were amazing. The owner ok’d our ball obsessed dog to be off-leash in the back grassy area- he LOVED it!! Great town. 100% on our radar in the future.

Love this RV park! The Owner greeted us when we arrived and helped guide me into our spot. He even got some blocks and brought them to me to use under my stabilizer jacks.

It was a short drive to the Tetons and Jackson so we made a couple day trips to see those sites. We will definitely be back next time we are through that part of Wyoming.

Wapiti Village is a comfortable space. All sites backup facing the river and mountain range. We are here in July and the evenings and nights are GREAT, as the weather drops and being from hot humid south Texas this is a slice of heaven.

Sites are spacious, which there were concrete pads but putting down a outdoor carpet would help. The sites are full hookup sites and are convenient unlike some other RV parks. Bret and his wife are very nice people and Bret is out and about the park every day keeping it nice. I'm not going to count off for the road construction but that was/is the worst part of our stay. The state is repaving the road in front of the RV park and is taking their sweet time. All lanes have had the previous asphalt removed so both lanes are a dust generation machine with big trucks and cars all day long. Question: Would we return to this RV Park? Without a doubt!!!

We were there from June 9 thru the 14th. The park facility is super clean and organized. We arrived just after the office closed. I sent an email that we were now at the park.

On the, 13th, we rented the Ranger 4-seater ATV. Great price! They offer a discount to folks who are staying at the RV park. We were guided to the US Forest Service trail head. We waved bye-bye to Brent and had the most glorious time exploring all the mountain trails we could in the 4 hour time-span. In June, there are meadows and meadows of yellow flowers. We stopped to take a million pictures. In hindsight, we should've rented for the entire DAY! It would've been so worth it! Be prepared to get dusty, you'll need bug spray for mosquitoes (in the mountains and in the RV park), take some water or light snack. Be safe and don't go on roads that are closed off. Some closures are due to erosion effecting the mountain trail. You don't want to fall off the mountain!
