If you live in Anchorage or the valley this is a nice campground. The camp host is very attentive but on sunny weekends the campground and day area fills up quickly. Camping spots are close but there are green spaces in between. Bathrooms are well maintained by the park service. Close to stores if you forgot anything.

Great place to bring kids especially on a first camping trip. Dog friendly. Tent friendly. Can accommodate large RVs. No spot is bad.

Close to Hatcher’s Pass and Independence Mine.
