Vantastic Life Thoughts: We’ve now stayed here two separate times for a total of almost 2 weeks. It’s a nice little place that is a 30-40 min drive to a bunch of IKON Pass resorts. If you want to use the (hotel style) gym, it’s a pain in the butt because they require someone to be in the office while you’re using it (even though it’s not connected to the office). That being said, you are 1 mile away from CrossFit Park City which is owned by CrossFit legend Chris Spealer, and we’d highly recommend going there.

Vantastic Life Thoughts: We stayed here for 4 nights and took the $1/person bus up to the Jackson Hole ski resort. The bathrooms were clean, we almost got stuck getting to our site because of the un-plowed snow, but shifting into 4×4 took care of it.
Places to work: The resort WiFi is ok, with speeds around 4-10 mbps down and 1-4 mbps up (depending on how busy the network was). If you need faster internet… Cowboy Coffee in town has you covered, or you can get medium good speeds (30 mbps down/8 mbps up) at the Jackson Whole Grocer & Cafe. Cellular hot spots also work, but note that AT&T does far better than Verizon in Jackson.
Local Food: You are in for a treat if you like pizza or burgers. Liberty Burgers has one of the best burgers I’ve ever had (The Nooner)! And the pizza at Hand Fire Pizza is outstanding. Please note that every time that we go out to eat in Jackson, we’ve done some very strenuous activity beforehand.
Workout: About a 1 mile walk from the Fireside RV resort is the Teton Sports Club and CrossFit Jackson Hole (same place). It’s a great place with CrossFit and globo gym equipment. There are also indoor and outdoor hot tubs! 🙂

Although this isn’t an exhaustive list of ski resorts and RV parks in the U.S. and Canada, it aims to serve as a guide RV Camping guide Near IKON Pass Ski Resorts for people looking to get as many powder days as possible!
We’ve strived to find the best of the best in skiing and RV camping put together in one concise post. Keep in mind there are many more RV parks that are seasonal and are not included here. Safe and happy travels to everyone! Thanks for reading!
PS if you have any camping spots that you think we should include in this post please let us know by commenting below or shooting an email to joe@allaroundjoe.com.
PPS Special thanks to Jarrett Lavac who did all the hard work on this one! If you need a great copywriter I can put you in touch.
Hi Joe, I’m want to use a lot of these places this winter to ski camp. Were there a lot of people at the campgrounds, or were they pretty empty? Just wondering if I should start booking early.
Thanks,
Mark
Hi Mark, It depends on the area that you want to camp.. Last winter most were pretty busy and required a bit of planning during the weekend and less so on the week days. Do you have any locations in mind? We might be able to give you more specific info.
Thanks for the response! My plan is to spend some time time in taos, salt lake, and jackson hole. I also want to spend a lot of time in Truckee at the Coachland RV Park.
I can easily book months out, I’m not in the business of chasing storms haha.
You can stay overnight in the Taos parking lot if you’re self contained… just bring some level because a lot of the parking is on a slant. The RV places in town are also nice, and should be reserved in advance.
In Salt Lake we had to stay at the RV resort in Park City because the winter camping in Salt Lake wasn’t very nice.
Definitely reserve the Fire Side RV spots far in advance in Jackson Hole. And you can only stay there for a week at a time. Kind of a bummer.
I’m on the move right now but if you need specifics let me know.
I just talked to security at Winter Park Resort. Very friendly. You can stay free in your van/rv overnight at Parking lot G. Take the shuttle to ski.
Awesome! Thanks for the info, I’ll add that.
Super helpful in our planning stages for next year! Have 5 months off work purchased Ikon pass and will be traveling in our 20ft trailer that we are setting up for winter with woodstove.
SWEET!!! Have fun! Maybe we’ll see you on the road!
Sugarloaf resort in Maine on ikon pass allows parking in their lower D lot. No hookups and can only take one parking space.
Thanks for the info!
