Signal Mountain Campground

The Great Outdoors

Given that the RV campground is located in the middle of Grand Teton National Park, it only makes sense that you’d spend the bulk of your time exploring its many lakes, canyons, and high peaks.If you’re interested in getting out on the water when you rent a motorhome near Signal Mountain Campground, there are several exciting options to choose from. One is to float the Snake River, which looks easy at first glance, as there are no whitewater sections within the park. However, the glassy waters are challenging to navigate, and logjams can necessitate a portage at any time. For something less complicated, rent a kayak and paddle around Jenny Lake or Jackson Lake; the fishing is fantastic and the scenery unbeatable.While Jackson Hole Resort gets all the publicity from visiting skiers and snowboarders, Snow King Resort is a hidden gem and clearly the favorite ski hill among locals. Its trails drop into the middle of downtown Jackson, and it’s just a few minutes from the hill to all the town’s great bars and restaurants. Fortunately, Snow King has plenty of summer activities to enjoy when you get a campsite near Jackson. The treetop adventure park, with its rope ladders and zip lines, is one of the more popular options at the hill. More adventurous tourists should take the opportunity to paraglide the scenic Jackson Hole Valley. Affordable tandem jumps allow newbies to take to the sky and enjoy the spectacular scenery from a birds-eye perspective.Those up for a short road trip with their rental RV should make the 90-minute journey up to Yellowstone National Park. The park’s unique geothermal features are seen almost nowhere else in the world, and hiking amongst the geysers and mud pots is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Additionally, no trip to Yellowstone would be complete without encountering a few of the park’s resident bison, which can regularly be seen strolling along the park’s roads and through the parking areas.

Exploring the City

When you rent a camper near Signal Mountain Campground, your nearest option for urban amenities will be the wondrous ski town of Jackson. Populated with trendy stores, exquisite art galleries, and dining fit for a large metropolitan area, Jackson is definitely one of the most exciting places you could visit on your RV camping adventure. For an eclectic introduction to the town, check out the Saturday farmer’s market near the intersection of East Broadway Avenue and Highway 191, where you’ll find all sorts of fresh produce, crafts, and delicious treats to enjoy while you shop.Lovers of Western art will surely want to hit up the National Museum of Wildlife Art, just outside Jackson on Highway 191. Driving by, there’s a good chance you’d miss it if it weren’t for a helpful sign, as the building itself is designed to look like a rock outcropping that blends in with the surrounding hills. Inside the museum, you’re treated to spectacular paintings and statues depicting the wildlife endemic to the Jackson Hole Valley: moose, eagles, bears, and of course, the elk that make their home on the nearby national refuge.If you love the Old West, be sure to get a seat at the town square around 6 pm, which is when the Jackson Hole Shootout occurs each evening during the summer. Local theater actors put on the show in full Western costume, and while it might seem a little kitschy, it’s an entertaining event that brings the whole community together.
