Stone Drug is an easy last stop on the way out of town. Because we are a pharmacy as well as an outdoor store, you can pick up bear spray, camp supplies, first aid, sunscreen, and a prescription refill in a single visit. We have been helping Jackson locals and travelers get ready for the mountains since 1975, and we are happy to help you get ready too.
What We Carry
Bear Spray & Wildlife Safety
Bear spray is the one item nearly every Jackson visitor needs, and it cannot travel on commercial flights, so most people buy it when they arrive. We keep it in stock year-round at a fair price, and we are glad to explain how to carry it and how to use it.
Camp Essentials
Trusted names for the campsite: Coleman camp gear, Coghlan’s accessories, and NEBO flashlights and headlamps, alongside batteries, fire starters, duct tape, rope, water bottles, bug spray, and hand warmers. Kinco winter and work gloves earn their keep here year-round, whether you are splitting firewood or scraping a windshield.
The Camp Kitchen
This is the corner that smells like a good trip. Camp stoves and fuel, camping grills, Lodge cast iron cookware, and freeze-dried meals from Mountain House and ReadyWise Pro for the nights you travel light. We also stock the seasonings to do your harvest justice, so fresh trout or elk backstrap gets the send-off it deserves, whether you are cooking in the woods or back at the trailer.
First Aid, Sun & Altitude
This is where being a pharmacy truly helps. We carry proper first-aid supplies, blister care, sunscreen, lip balm, pain relievers, and allergy medicine, and our pharmacists are happy to answer questions at no charge. Jackson sits at about 6,200 feet, so staying hydrated and protected from the sun makes a real difference, especially on your first day.
For the Downtime
Targets, BB and pellet guns for legal open country, games, and plenty of small comforts for the drive or the campsite.
Bear Country Basics
Jackson Hole is home to both grizzly and black bears, and a few habits keep everyone safer. Carry bear spray where you can reach it within seconds. Keep a clean camp and store food properly, using bear boxes or hard-sided vehicles where required. Never leave coolers out, and check the current food-storage orders for the forest or park where you are staying. The park and forest links below cover the details, and they are well worth a few minutes of reading. With sensible precautions, bears are a remarkable part of visiting this valley rather than a reason to worry.

One Stop Before the Trailhead
Locals come in because it is quick. Visitors come in because something always gets forgotten, whether that is bear spray, blister care, or a headlamp. Either way, you will find us at 830 W Broadway, open Monday through Friday 9–6 and Saturday 10–4, the same corner we have occupied since 1975.
Camping & Outdoors FAQ
Where can I buy bear spray in Jackson, WY?
Stone Drug at 830 W Broadway in downtown Jackson stocks bear spray year-round. Because bear spray cannot be carried on commercial flights, most visitors buy it on arrival, and Stone Drug is a quick in-town stop on the way to Grand Teton or Yellowstone.
Do I really need bear spray in Grand Teton or Yellowstone?
The National Park Service strongly recommends carrying bear spray in both parks and knowing how to use it. Keep it somewhere immediately accessible, such as a hip belt or chest strap, rather than inside your pack.
Can I fly home with bear spray?
No. Bear spray is prohibited in both carry-on and checked luggage on commercial flights. Buy it when you arrive, and consider donating an unused canister to a local visitor program before you leave rather than throwing it away.
Does Stone Drug carry camping food and cookware?
Yes. Stone Drug carries Mountain House and ReadyWise Pro freeze-dried meals, Lodge cast iron cookware, camping grills, Coleman camp gear, and the seasonings to cook what you catch or harvest.
Where can I camp near Jackson Hole?
Grand Teton National Park campgrounds are mostly reservation-based through recreation.gov, and the Bridger-Teton National Forest surrounding Jackson offers both developed and dispersed camping. Summer weekends fill early, and food-storage rules apply in bear country.
What altitude is Jackson, Wyoming?
The town of Jackson sits at about 6,200 feet, and the surrounding trails climb well above that. Staying hydrated, using sun protection, and taking an easy first day help most visitors adjust, and Stone Drug’s pharmacy can help with the rest.
