The Snake River cabins and RV Village is an absolutely spectacular place! The location is a quick ride to Jackson and directly on the beautiful snake river!

The Snake River cabins and RV Village is an absolutely spectacular place! The location is a quick ride to Jackson and directly on the beautiful snake river! The riverfront is absolutely gorgeous and the entire property is immaculately clean and well maintained. Everyone was so nice, from the people in the office to the maintenance people and cleaning crews. We stayed on an RV site, but the tent sites looked beautiful and some are right along the river. We met a nice couple who let us take a look at their cabin and it was immaculately clean and very nice on the inside. If we ever have the opportunity, we will definitely return!

Where do I start. Snake River Cabins are absolutely amazing. We rented several cabins for our daughters wedding in the Grand Tetons and had to adjust check ins and outs several times.

We rented several cabins for our daughters wedding in the Grand Tetons and had to adjust check ins and outs several times. The office staff was very accommodating and gracious with our guests. The staff on the ground were so kind and helpful. I loved talking to them and hearing their stories. Housekeeping was amazing. The cabins are GORGEOUS and perfect for groups. The fire tables and fire pits, the grills, the cute bears all were amazing. Have already recommended to several friends and they are looking into 2026 dates. Can't wait to make a return trip from Ohio. Thank you ALL so very much. We had an AMAZING time.

Stayed here for our trip to the Tetons and wow! The location was honestly pretty great! Close enough to the Tetons and traveling between was no issue, especially since you come and have the snake river right behind you! Stayed in a deluxe cabin and it was spacious, and very clean.

Stayed in a deluxe cabin and it was spacious, and very clean. The beds personally was too firm but didn't mind it that much. Enjoyed relaxing at the river bank and loved their public fire pit areas! If wanting your own fire, you had to purchase the firewood at their little store. This place was our favorite stay out of our trip! Would recommend

Darling, clean cabins! Ours faced the Snake River and is was so peaceful and quiet. My whole family came to town for my cousins birthday bash. My family was the only ones that stayed at the resort while all the other guests stayed at very pricey hotels in town. We got the better end of the stick for sure! I can't wait to come stay again!

Perfect picturesque location on the Snake River. All of the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. They went above and beyond to accommodate us during our stay. Immaculately clean park. Very nice showers/restrooms. My second time staying here, first in an RV and next in a tent. I will definitely be back!
