Black Spruce RV Park operates as a military-affiliated campground on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, serving both military personnel and civilian campers from May through October. The facility provides RV sites with hookups in a developed setting that one reviewer described as "one of the better places" to park a rig while visiting Anchorage.
Access requires base entry procedures, which can add time to arrival but positions campers within the military installation's boundaries. The park sits near other military camping facilities and offers a staging point for exploring Alaska's largest city and surrounding wilderness areas.

Directions
Take the "Fort Richardson/Artic Valley" exit off AK-1 (Glenn Highway). Turn to the north towards the base and go through the security gate. RV's should use the right car lane (not the commercial lane). Long RV's will still be able to wind through the maze. Once through the gate, you will be on "D Street". Stay on D Street as it winds through base. D Street eventually ends at a "Y turn". Stay to the RIGHT, turning onto Otter Lake Road. The campground is about 100 yards ahead of you on the left. Self check-in and information is at the office at the campground entrance.
