Swan Valley RV Park has achieved a perfect balance between good times and simple convenience. Situated in the heart of Swan Valley, we provide everything you need to enjoy your stay in Swan Valley, Palisades or Irwin Idaho
Okay, so the bed was not overly comfortable but I am a big guy. 2 could very comfortably sleep in here, 4 if you dont mind closeness (there is a second bed). We had new sheets, soap and shampoo provided, and the place was clean. Heating and a/c worked. Plenty of little storage places and a bathroom and shower right next door. We rented the airstream at the park for 100 total per night so that we could spend some time with family who took their own RV there. If you dont mind a bed on a fold out couch, this feels similar.
Very few photos and little description. We got probably their nicest sight, #17. Earlier reviews indicated a new bath house but it is one shower and one toilet and was locked when we got there with the manager/owner saying he was cleaning it. But we never saw anyone near it and it was locked for at least 2 hours after we got there at 3:00 and then was locked again early in the morning when we tried to use it. Seriously? If you're worried about people from the gas station or elsewhere using it put a code on it for heaven's sake. In addition it has no air conditioning and is a metal A-frame fully covered with metal and was like a 120° inside. Not much point taking a shower at that hot a temperature, just to start sweating all over again. Would neither recommend this location nor stay there again.
The owner/host who answered was very friendly. We called for day of arrival, and a 730pm arrival was accommodated by giving us the site number over the phone. I googled the park and called that number without issue. Yes, there is a gas station right out front, which worked well for us to fuel up prior to hooking up and leaving.
We stayed here while visiting Jackson Hole and the Grand Tetons last minute in June. It was a BEAUTIFUL drive along the Snake River, however twice there were car accidents that backed up traffic for hours and due to the remote location there was no convenient rerouting. This is no fault obviously of the park, just pointing out to be aware of this and consider staying in town if GPS shows a backup!
The mountain photos on Google were not from the actual park it seems. The views from the park were not what we expected, but again, we were just looking for a safe spot with hookups for our impromptu stop.
Full hookup without issue, site big enough for our 39' RV and truck. Grassy area for pets, not mowed. Very quiet. Did not see any fire pits, but we were not spending time hanging out at the park. A picnic table at our site was nice to have.
No service for about 45min driving in from Jackson, but we had Verizon service at the park.
Overall, we would stay again for a quick stay.
Bryce & Natalie were very pleasant and
accommodating hosts. A little over an hour from
Jackson Hole and the Grand Tetons. The campground is clean, level, mostly sun sites. Surrounded by rolling green ranches and mountains. Most anything you need is in Swan Valley, just a few miles from the
campground. Loved our stay here.
This is a great park within driving distance to Grand Teton National Park. We were only there 4 nights but we enjoyed our time very much. Doug manages the park and he is quite friendly and helpful. He even showed us one of the covered wagons they rent on Air BnB. It was super nice. If you're visiting Grand Teton, I'd recommend Swan Valley RV park.
