Is the key with Jackson Lake to go earlier in the season? I was told there was an unusual amount of bugs and it's very windy, but that may be later on in the summer.

When there is wind, there is no bug problem! Seriously though, anywhere northeast of Denver is susceptible to afternoon thunder showers with wind in spring and summer. When I had a sailboat, we generally had to wait until 1:00 PM to put it in the water because there wasn't enough wind to sail in the morning. So, I guess some RVers at Jackson Lake probably like the wind!

We carry two big citronella candles (in steel cans with lids and handles) in the 5th wheel. We set one on a tv tray between our lawn chairs if we are just sitting and one at each end of the picnic table when eating outside. It didn't help in Alaska, it it has worked everywhere else.

Living just outside Brighton, I'm very familiar with the wind! That's why we try to avoid it when camping. We've found that these "citronella sticks" that smolder like cigars are pretty effective for mosquitos. I guess I'm just looking for more of a "mountain" experience when camping instead of a terrain exactly like where we live. We'll probably check out Jackson at some point though, maybe in the fall.
