The Best Camping Near Palmer, Alaska

This very small campground is only open in the summer months and has eight spots.  There is no cell service out here but the drive and scenery is some of the best Alaska has to offer.  Who am I kidding that can be said for just about any of the DNR sites.  Sites are along side the Little Su River and are primitive. 
 
These are not large RV sites but if you have a tent or smaller vehicle this is a definite place to check out.  Restroom are well maintained.
