Last night after setting up at Teton RV Campground Kelly and I got to talking and we were both frustrated that we settled for staying outside of the park, that was not our dream for this vacation.  We are learning that we need to not panic and book the first thing – but to stay calm and check things out a little more.  The pressure of night falling and having to hook up in the dark added to our pressure when we were calling so the first place that said that they could fit us – we jumped on it.  So first thing this morning I called 2 of the sites that we had looked at that were in the park and they both had openings (aarrghh!)   I went to the office at Teton RV and prayed the whole way over, I just asked for favor and promised I would not lie, you see we had to pay for all 3 days up front – so who knew if they’d give us a refund.  I was honest and explained that our goal was to stay in the park but that the reservationist pretty much told us that there wasn’t any place still open that could fit our size rig (38′) but that I called and found 2 this morning that could!  The girl at the counter gave us a refund for the unused nights and asked where the sites were so that if others asked she could have the correct information.

We didn’t feel like we had lost out too much, that night we had a beautiful view of the mountains and ate breakfast looking at them as well.  So after breakfast, we broke down camp – we are getting really good at tear-down and set up; Kelly has his routine outside and I have mine inside – things go a little wonky when one of us gets in the middle of the others routine though.

We moved over to Coulter Bay Village Campground ($65 – Military and Senior Discounts), in the National Park right on Jackson Lake – we got the last site – I was so happy!!  Which means Kelly is happy too – because he doesn’t like to see me pout.  The sites are all beautiful with loads of tall pine trees, they are full hook ups – 50 Amp service, but the WiFi is up at the laundry and does not reach to our site (H-65).  We were set up in less than 30 minutes and headed out to check things out when within 100’ of our campsite we saw a deer just wandering through the park munching on some grass – THIS is why I wanted to stay IN the park!!

Tetons RV Campground has a beautiful view of the mountain range, the cost seems a bit high to me for the amenities.  Check out the full review on our Review’s page.
