Grand Tetons Idaho With Your RV

Travel along with popular RV television host Stew Olsen as he explores the Grand Tetons in Idaho in this segment taken from the 2006 archives of the RV Today show.

With beautiful video footage of the Rocky Mountain landscape, scenic trails, and seemingly endless fishing streams, this is an entertaining and visually stimulating RV trek through the Grand Tetons

And of course, Stew covers a multitude of RVing opportunities, including three scenic places to stay in the Teton valley. One campground, located in the Targee Ski Resort area, has been adding multiple RV sites as RVing grows in popularity.

Another campground, in Heise Hot Springs (Southeast Idaho), features a river, a nearby golf course, and of course, hot springs! Heise Hot Springs also has an evening dinner show beginning with a wild west shootout, followed by a wagon ride to dinner in a beautiful meadow setting. The show by the Mountain River Ranch players features plenty of audience participation.

Finally, Stew and the crew visit the glorious Mesa Falls on Henry’s Fork of the Snake River in eastern Idaho.

The state of Idaho has more than 16,000 miles of streams, and one of the most famous in the world for fly-fishing, the Snake River. If you like to fish, there is a perfect spot to set up camp and drop a line just a short drive from Mesa Falls at the Red Rock RV and Campground

Beautiful Tiger Run Resort in Breckenridge CO! In a world where travelers are greeted with problems and frustration at every turn, it’s great to have a place you can rely on, where you know what to expect, and where your comfort is our number one priority. As Colorado’s premier destination resort, we’re located just 75 miles west of Denver near the lovely victorian ski town of Breckenridge, in the beautiful Ten Mile Range of the Rocky Mountains. Visit The Tiger Run RV Resort here.

We’ve taken every step to ensure you a very pleasant and positive experience at our Resort. No matter what your requirements, or how you enjoy spending your time, we’re very confident we can fulfill your needs. There is a lot to do in this part of incredible Colorado, and our luxurious accommodations will provide a splendid home base. Let Tiger Run Resort make your vacation a memorable one. Visit The Tiger Run RV Resort here.

We operate on a nightly basis, 365 days a year. We are designed to accommodate RVs that are totally self-contained. By definition, this means your RV must be able to hook up to our water and sewer system. Sorry, we do not allow pop-up campers, tent trailers, or tents. See our Features & Rates page for specific RV site information.

We are located just 75 miles west of Denver, Colorado, between the historic mining towns of Breckenridge and Frisco. To reach Tiger Run Resort from Interstate 70, take Exit 203 and proceed south on Highway 9 six miles past Frisco. You’ll find our resort on the left side of the roadway, clearly marked with our large stone and wood carved sign.

Our beautiful 12,000 sf Clubhouse is centrally located in the Resort complex and contains an indoor swimming pool, two hot tubs, game room, TV lounge, laundry facility, bathrooms with showers and dressing area. Outside we have a volleyball court, basketball court, two tennis courts, and children’s playground. Our pavilion with its large rock fireplace serves as a great meeting place for summer entertainment and activities. For the fishing enthusiast, the Blue River borders the Resort on the west boundary, and the Swan River runs through the Resort. Only artificial lures may be used and a Colorado fishing license is required.

Our Resort is simply gorgeous! We know you appreciate a well-kept park, and ours is the nicest you’ll ever find. We go out of our way to offer a clean and attractive environment, with the comfort and convenience of home, all in a very natural setting. As you stroll around the grounds, you’ll love the little things that make our Resort an exceptional place to vacation.

Experience real Rocky Mountain Magic! Our Resort is in the heart of Colorado’s best outdoor activity area, and we offer four seasons of fun for everyone. Hike or bike your way through incredible natural forests over 60 miles of paved pathways, from Breckenridge all the way to Vail! Skiing of all types is available at your choice of four nearby ski areas, and the two rivers adjacent to the Resort bring the wilds of nature right to your RV’s door.

Tiger Run’s RV lots are very spacious! Our premium sites for RVs each measure approximately 80 feet long and 50 feet wide, and feature a 70 X 20 concrete pad, a grass lawn and picnic table. These sites offer full hook-ups for water, sewer, cable TV, and electric (20, 30 & 50 amp service.) Water is also available at each site in the winter, thanks to heat probes in the water risers.

Mountain Chalets are available for nightly rental. If you’re traveling without your RV, or want to take a break from the road, our chalets are a great alternative. These are log-sided, free standing recreational cabins that provide comfort and privacy without the common walls, halls, noises and nuisances of a condominium. Every chalet has a private bedroom, bath, and full kitchen. They are supplied with all of the bed linens, towels and kitchen utensils needed for your stay at Tiger Run Resort. We offer Standard and Deluxe Cabins. They both include all the basic requirements for an enjoyable stay. You will find the Deluxe Cabins have just been furnished with a higher quality of accessories.
