Winter camping near Jackson Hole Wyoming

I have a job offer in JH, but rent is a lot to choke down. Anybody know of any places that are open within 30-45 min commute. Would need something that would ideally have bathroom facilities.

What's the job? Aren't there some jobs with housing there as a possibility?

Cool, thanks for sharing the link. They've got the Sun out there, something I haven't seen in more than a week.

That guy is for real. Forget his name, but he runs a regular blog complete with pics. The ski resort, iirc, is Schweitzer in McCall Idaho and he sells RVs in Wyo in the summers.

They want over $400 a week. At that price, it would be cheaper for me to get a small apartment in town or within a short commute

Valley of the Sun has your answer.
Nearly every mining town in the West, has some people living in RVS year around. It takes some acquired skills. There have been some good write ups on the forum about how to live at ski areas in winter.

Now you know why they can charge so much for rent!

All the rv parks are closed for the winter.
