Fox Run Lodge & RV Campground

8 ReviewsAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Lakeside access, highway noise, and a full roster of amenities define the experience at Fox Run Lodge & RV Campground outside Palmer, Alaska. The campground sits alongside Matanuska Lake and draws a mix of RV travelers, tent campers, and long-term residents, which means sites can feel close together during busy stretches. Reviewers consistently note that spaces are tight, so campers who value elbow room may want to weigh that against the convenience of the location.

The facility runs year-round and covers a wide range of setups, from full hookups with electric, water, and sewer to dry RV spots and lakeside tent sites. Free showers, $2 laundry, firewood for sale, a small store, and a dump station are all on-site. One notable draw is the on-site restaurant, which serves Thai food that has earned repeat visits from campers. There is a dock on the lake for fishing, with rainbow trout reported by multiple reviewers. Cell service and WiFi are both reliable here, which matters for anyone working remotely or coordinating a longer Alaska itinerary.

Erik J. describes it as a "super friendly host and gorgeous area," and the owners' willingness to accommodate different stay lengths, daily through monthly, comes up repeatedly across reviews. One practical note: RV campers who back in may find the hookups on the opposite side of the rig, so bringing an extra extension cord is worth considering. The Matanuska Lake State Recreation Area sits close by for campers who want a more dispersed, less developed alternative.

Guests commonly noted excellent amenities including lake access, full hookups, and praised Thai restaurant, plus accommodating owners. Highway noise from roadside location was mentioned, though many appreciated the convenient access to area attractions.

Labor day trip

The only bad we could think of was sports are close together. The hookups are on the opposite side if you back in. It is not an issue if you bring an extra extension cord.

Come for the beautiful lake, stay for the Thai food

Super friendly host and gorgeous area. Our RV door opened up to a view of the gorgeous lake. Plenty of amenities and the on site restaurant is a gem. The Thai food was REALLY good. So good that we'd go back just for the food!

If you are looking for a central RV park this is the place

Right off the Highway this RV park is not bad.  Although I prefer my camping more rural.  If you are visiting and just want to start one way out of Anchorage this could be a choice for you.  With everything from cabins, to full RV hook ups, to dry RV camping, and lakeside tent spots this is a good option for a first stop on a great Alaska adventure.    Because of it’s proximity to Anchorage, Wasilla, and Palmer you are not far from anything.  There is good cell and internet service here as well and stores to get everything you need.  Spaces are close to each other and I would not recommend spending my entire camping trip there, but they are a good option if you need something close.   Cell Service: Yes Internet: Yes Distance from Anchorage: Bug Factor (1 minimal to 10 too many to enjoy): 45 miles

Great Stay!

Great park with daily, weekly, monthly rates. There is a mix of full hookups, electric and water, and primitive sites so try and reserve if possible. They have 2$ laundry, free showers, restrooms, firewood, a small store, restaurant, and really friendly owners that will accommodate you the best they can. There is also a dock on the lake to catch some rainbows!

Long Term Gem

A bit wide open and highway noise but on lake with laundry, showers, full hookups, firewood for sale, restaurant, matanuska lake access, long term parking too. Some sites have gorgeous lake views.
