Shell Campground

7 RV Sites

Shell Campground in Shell, Wyoming, offers seven full-hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 50 feet, at the base of the Big Horn Mountains on Highway 14. Open all year with cabins, a general store, and a community fire pit, it is the closest full-hookup campground to the range's dramatic western escarpment. Seven sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp in back-in and pull-through configurations, sized to 50 feet. Cabins round out the accommodations. A general store, propane fills, laundry, restrooms, showers, firewood, and WiFi handle the practical side, and the campground stays open year-round — genuinely useful on a mountain route that sees traffic in every season. With seven sites, reserve rather than counting on availability. Pets are welcome. A community fire pit anchors the evenings, with picnicking on the grounds and mountains rising immediately west. The Old Shell Store is a block and a half away, serving what the locals will tell you are the best burgers around. The position is the point. Highway 14 is the principal western approach to Bighorn National Forest and the main route connecting the Big Horn Basin to Yellowstone and Grand Teton. Shell Falls is 15 minutes up the highway, the Big Horn National Forest five minutes, and the Antelope Butte Recreation Area 20 — with skiing there in winter and a national park within reach. Summer drives the heaviest traffic on the mountain route. With seven sites at the base of Shell Canyon, reserve well ahead.

Sun Outdoors Garden City Utah

163 RV Sites, 2 Cabins, 5 Tent Sites, 36 Hotel Rooms

Sun Outdoors Garden City in Utah offers 163 full-hookup RV sites, 38 cabin and hotel room units, and five tent sites on the western shore of Bear Lake, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet, open all year. Standard back-in, pull-in, and pull-through categories join a pool, hot tub, spa, beach, and boat docks. One hundred sixty-three sites run in standard back-in, standard pull-in, and standard pull-through categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 45 feet, with picnic tables. Three straightforward categories keep booking simple. Thirty-eight cabins and hotel rooms and five tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. The property was formerly Blue Water RV Resort. An outdoor pool, hot tub, sauna, and spa anchor the property, with a beach and boat docks opening the lake for boating and swimming. A recreation center, craft room, sports courts, pickleball, basketball, a playground, pavilion, and community fire pit fill the rest, with skiing, a state park, and mountains nearby and productive birding along the shore. The address is 2126 South Bear Lake Boulevard, eight miles south of the Idaho border. Bear Lake's water is a startling turquoise — the result of suspended limestone — which makes it one of the most visually distinctive lakes in the Intermountain West, framed by Wasatch-Cache ridges on three sides. Summer is the short, intense season at Bear Lake, with the raspberry harvest drawing August crowds. Reserve well ahead.

Alpine Lodge

6 RV Sites, 22 Cabins

Alpine Lodge sits at the north end of Red Lodge, Montana, on US Highway 212, offering 22 cabin and motel-room accommodations alongside six RV spots with water and electric on 30 and 50-amp service. RV sites are pull-through and sized to 30 feet, so this suits smaller rigs and vans rather than large coaches — the lodging is the main event here. Twenty-two cabins and motel rooms provide king and queen beds, in-room coffee makers, kitchenettes with microwave and refrigerator, air conditioning, and covered parking directly in front of each room. Adjoining rooms are available for families and larger parties. Six pull-through RV spots carry water and electric on 30 and 50-amp with picnic tables, sized to 30 feet — note there are no sewer hookups. Laundry, restrooms, and showers serve all guests, and WiFi reaches the property. The lodge maintains a strict cancellation policy given the seasonal nature of its lodging, so confirm dates before booking. On-site amenities include a community fire pit, sports courts, basketball, horseshoes, corn hole, and on-site dining, with live music and planned activities through the season. The lodge also operates as a wedding venue. Downtown Red Lodge is within walking distance for dining and shops. The position is exceptional. US-212 is the southern terminus of the Beartooth Highway, which Charles Kuralt called the most beautiful road in America and the American Motorcycle Association ranks among the world's top motorcycle roads. The Beartooth-Absaroka Wilderness, Yellowstone's northeast entrance, and Rock Creek's blue-ribbon trout water are all immediate. Skiing is nearby in winter. The Beartooth Highway's seasonal opening drives summer demand — check pass status and book early for July and August.

Idaho Falls Luxury RV Park

Idaho Falls Luxury RV Park occupies a site with genuine history along the Snake River in eastern Idaho — built on the grounds of the former Sky-Vu Drive-In Theater, a local landmark established in 1950 that brought families together for decades before closing. When the Teichert and Sebastian families acquired the site in 2021 and opened the park in May 2023, they channeled that family-gathering legacy into an RV destination built to a standard rarely seen in the region, with oversized spaces and resort-quality amenities that together form the largest and most polished full-hookup park in East Idaho. Sites here rank among the most spacious in the region — designed to accommodate today's largest motorhomes and fifth wheels with the clearances that guests traveling in 40-foot rigs genuinely require. Direct access to the Snake River and the paved Greenbelt trail system opens the park's outdoor recreation to both walkers and cyclists, with free bike rentals available on-site for guests who arrive without their own. Two pickleball courts, a dedicated dog park, a playground, site-specific Wi-Fi at every pad, and the region's largest outdoor community fireplace round out an amenity lineup built to rival what high-end home communities offer rather than what campgrounds typically provide. Full hookups with 30- and 50-amp service and modern bathhouse facilities complete the practical infrastructure. The Snake River corridor through Idaho Falls gives the park an exceptionally attractive natural setting for a city-adjacent campground — the Greenbelt's tree-lined path traces the river for miles in both directions, and the sound of moving water provides a constant ambient backdrop that softens the urban context. The city of Idaho Falls itself is a pleasant mid-sized community with a lively downtown riverfront, the Idaho Falls Idaho Temple, and a growing dining and arts scene that rewards an evening stroll from camp. The Museum of Idaho in downtown Idaho Falls covers the natural and human history of the region comprehensively, and its rotating exhibits frequently draw visitors who weren't planning a museum day. Yellowstone National Park is roughly two and a half hours north — a long day trip from Idaho Falls that most guests make at least once during an extended stay. Grand Teton National Park is about 90 minutes away, offering what many consider the most dramatic mountain scenery accessible by paved road in the lower 48. Craters of the Moon National Monument, 90 minutes west, provides a lunar lava-field landscape that is one of the more surprising natural experiences in the American West. Idaho Falls Luxury RV Park operates year-round, with summer and fall the most popular seasons for regional park and monument touring. The Snake River's seasonal flow and the Greenbelt's condition vary through the year, with spring and early summer typically the most lush and photogenic for riverside walking and cycling. Reserve early for summer stays when Yellowstone and Grand Teton traffic drives demand across all eastern Idaho campgrounds — the park's combination of large sites, full hookups, and city proximity makes it a consistent first choice for guests with more discerning RV accommodation standards.

Yellowstone Hot Springs Resort

39 RV Sites, 4 Cabins, 18 Tent Sites, 5 Hotel Rooms

Yellowstone Hot Springs Resort in Gardiner, Montana, offers 39 RV sites, nine cabin and hotel-room units, and 18 tent sites eight miles north of Yellowstone's North Entrance, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 40 feet behind a gated entrance. Three mineral spring pools of graduated temperature are the reason to book. Thirty-nine sites run in full-hookup and electric-only categories carrying 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 40 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and site WiFi. The electric-only option suits self-contained rigs at a lower rate. Nine cabins and hotel rooms and 18 tent sites round out the accommodations. A laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side, with a gated entrance controlling access. The hot springs define the property. Three mineral pools of graduated temperature — a cold plunge, a 100-degree pool, and a 106-degree pool — are fed continuously by water drawn straight from the earth, chemical-free. An outdoor pool, fitness center, clubhouse, and pavilion round out the amenities, with hiking, biking, birding, and picnicking from the area and skiing and a golf course nearby. Pets are welcome. Gardiner sits at the south end of Paradise Valley where the Yellowstone River emerges from the mountains with the Absaroka Range rising on both flanks — one of the most strategically positioned properties in the greater Yellowstone ecosystem, eight miles from the park's only year-round entrance. Summer is decisively the season, with the springs drawing guests year-round. Reserve well ahead for June through September.

Trail & Hitch RV Park and Tiny Home Hotel

Just outside the historic ranching town of Meeker in Colorado's northwest corner, Trail & Hitch RV Park and Tiny Home Hotel has created something rare in the mountain lodging landscape: a property where RV travelers, tiny home guests, yurt campers, and tent-site adventurers all share beautifully designed grounds without any of them feeling like an afterthought. Nestled along a scenic corridor leading into the vast White River National Forest and the wilderness reaches of the Flat Tops, Trail & Hitch serves as base camp for one of Colorado's least-crowded and most genuinely wild landscapes—a place where fishing, hunting, and backcountry solitude still feel discovered rather than packaged. Eleven unique tiny homes offer configurations from one to three beds, each with a full bathroom, complete kitchen, and private deck with a grill and picnic table—thoughtfully designed for couples and small families who want comfort without sacrificing the outdoor connection. RV sites feature concrete pads with 30/50-amp hookups, fire rings, and picnic tables with pull-throughs sized for big rigs. The 27-foot yurts include kitchenettes and convertible sleeping arrangements, and six tent sites with picnic tables and fire pits complete the lodging spectrum. A community sauna, bathhouse, laundry, free WiFi, propane, and an on-site store handle the daily logistics, and the ATV-friendly property layout invites guests to ride in directly. Meeker sits in the wide Rio Blanco Valley at the confluence of the White River and Marvine Creek, surrounded by sage-covered hills that rise into dense aspen and spruce forests above 8,000 feet. The White River National Forest stretches south and east, encompassing 2.3 million acres of protected land including some of Colorado's most productive hunting and fishing terrain. The Flat Tops Wilderness Area to the east—a high basalt plateau crowned with volcanic lakes—offers a backcountry experience that feels genuinely remote despite its accessibility from the highway. Meeker itself has the authentic feel of a working ranch community, with local outfitters and cafés that have been serving the same county families for generations. The White River earns a strong reputation among fly fishermen chasing brown and rainbow trout in its clear, productive runs, and the region around Meeker hosts some of Colorado's finest elk hunting country—a tradition that fills the town each fall with hunters from across the state. Mountain biking and backpacking trails penetrate the Flat Tops in every direction, and the area's truly dark skies make stargazing from the community fire pit exceptional. Rifle Falls State Park, with its triple waterfall and limestone caves, is roughly 40 miles southeast, and the Colorado River corridor near Grand Junction adds rafting and red-rock canyon scenery to the regional menu. Summer brings long days for hiking, rafting, and fishing the White River, while fall hunting season transforms the surrounding backcountry into a hive of activity with outfitters, wranglers, and loaded pack strings heading for the high country. Spring arrives late at this elevation but rewards patience with spectacular wildflower displays and the first meaningful hatches on the river. Winter is quiet and peaceful, with cross-country skiing and snowshoeing accessible from the doorstep of the tiny homes. Whether you park your rig or check into a tiny home, Trail & Hitch offers Colorado's northwest corner at its most authentic and unhurried. Book your stay and arrive ready for adventure.
