Glamping in South Jackson Hole
Well, not exactly, because there is no glamping in South Jackson Hole. While Jackson Hole is a cute town, full of motels, hotels, grocery stores and excursion companies, it's not somewhere we wanted to stay. Not to mention the prices are absolutely outrageous. Supply and demand are at a premium here, buyer beware.
If we had to do it again, we wouldn't have done it any other way. For just around $90-$100 a night we stayed in Victor, Idaho at Teton Valley Resort. Use my AirBnb link to get a coupon of your stay. A mere 35 minutes West of Jackson Hole lies the small town of Victor. The beautiful drive during late summer to Victor was amazing. It was a blessing in disguise as we weaved in and out of the Tetons. There were plenty of switchbacks and a beautiful landscape to peer out of the windows of our SUV.
Traveler Tip: Stay outside of South Jackson Hole if you want to Value Travel.
Let's talk a little about our well decorated and accommodating glamping tent. The tent was very spacious, equipped with two space heaters, a tempurpedic queen bed, and two folding twin beds (which also turned into single sofa chairs- pictured above). Given that the temperature outside was mild, around 55° Fahrenheit, the space heaters and down comforters kept us plenty warm. Extra blankets were also provided should we have had company. The decor of the tent was rustic, western and a bit chic. Heavy, dark wood dressers and end tables lined the tent walls. A faux bear skin rug laid in front of the bed with a few green plants placed precisely around the space.
My one complaint is the specific location of the glamping tent within the campground, as it was in between the outdoor patio of the clubhouse and a swing set. While the patio was not finished yet (it was under construction and just the foundation was being built), but I can see this being a major problem in the future on the location of the tent.
The campground was very clean, organized and well laid out. Albeit, there were a lot of people in a small campground. I'd like to see them expand and open up the spaces more instead of everybody being on top of each other. What is unique about this campground was that it offered a plethora of accommodation options including; camping spaces, teepees, cabins, glamping tents, and RV lots.
