Basic & Convenient

This wooded campground is pretty basic, and cheerless, but did the job for a night or two.  It has a great location, just off the Parks Highway in Wasilla, and can be very quiet. In sunnier weather this village supported campground could be lovely. It was raining and chilly in August when we came through, which made it pretty dreary and muddy.  What it lacks in charm, it makes up for in convenience and the quiet, location is the big win here. 

The bathrooms were extremely spacious, clean vault toilets, with no showers or running water.  Water is available in the campground near the entrance to the campground loop. There are some walking trails leading to the soccer fields, and throughout the woodland park, down to the lake for boating, fishing or paddling.  Cycling the nearby area would also be a great way to get around, see the area, and get some exercise. 

The nearby town of Wasilla offers more than the usual suspects for services in an Alaskan small city. Groceries, laundry, gas, mechanics, coffee shops and an array of restaurants are all within a short drive from the campground. The Iditarod Trail Museum and center is about½ mile away so be sure to check that out while there.

City campground

Minutes away from the amenities of a small city. Not much privacy between spots but there are some trees. There’s a lake with some small walking trails which are nice in the morning. Pit toilets, picnic tables, fire pit. Best part is the price. $10 for dry camping and $20 for electric! Also, there’s a fenced dog park for dog lovers and playground for kiddos.

Nice family campground.

Nice campground close walk to lake however the campground could use some love. Trimming the weeds back, clearing the water area of weeds, etc. The small campground not even used due to being overgrown. For a site on the weekend with electric, great price. $20/nite

Campground could is a little love

This is one of the better mat su campgrounds. It does have some great day use parking and 39 campsites. On clear days the lake is beautiful. The trails are nice and well-maintained we also enjoyed the dog park. There are a number of pavilions that can be used but people with reservations to have priority.
