History

Originally established in the 1970s, the Fireside Resort at Jackson Hole began as a KOA before it was converted into the business it is today. During its time as a KOA, there were only campsites available, and the cabins had not yet been built. The property stayed that way for multiple years before it was bought by the current owners in 2011. When they took over the management of the resort, they added all of the cabins to the grounds. They also made a variety of cosmetic changes and updates to the amenities available. Since its original establishment as a KOA campground, the Fireside Resort at Jackson Hole has gone through multiple changes including the addition of the cabins and the updating of the grounds.
