Trail Creek Campground

 






We arrived here July 13 for 5 nights, located 6 miles west of Wilson, Wyoming; a stones throw from the Idaho state border.  Our reserved site was very private along the creek but the pull through was very tight and trees needed to be trimmed.  We managed to level the coach with blocks on one side and use of leveling jacks.  The front jack slipped of it pad and bent the shaft.  Fortunately, I was able to retract it but will need to be replaced or repaired.  Did get a small gouge in my roof from the tree.  The campground host commented that he wondered if a 40 footer could fit in the site.  This site would be good for tents as there were several spots to place a tent on the site.  This was site #3 and the other sites were more level and large enough for our rig.  This is dry camping and had access to water and trash.  We stayed here to visit Jackson Hole, Wyoming; which was only 20 miles into town.  We paid $38 for the 5 night stay which included an $8 reservation fee.  That also included our 50% discount for our senior pass.  That said, the rates increased since we reserved our spot and it is now $16 per night or $8 with senior pass now.  This park is very small with only 11 sites and I rate it F****.

We only went into Jackson one day as the traffic and parking were unbearable.  We lucked out for a parking spot close to downtown, but took us 45 minutes in bumper to bumper traffic to leave town.  Houses in this area are advertised for $15,000 per month and that was not a misprint.  Several restaurants and shops were closed due to not being able to hire workers for $18 per hour.  We took a day trip the opposite direction past Victor, Idaho and took a detour off a dirt road which brought us along a little creek where we stopped for a little picnic.  Really peaceful and there were several dispersed campers along the river.  I had to use my four wheel drive to get out of the site we stopped in as the gravel was very soft.  This is where we came across this group of cows alongside the road.
