This is a great spot to take your younger kids to teach them the basics. Were new to the area so really just learning AK. But this was a great spot for a 5&4 YO. Not to much in and out traffic and plenty for them to just explore and learn close to camp. You can walk around the other parts of campground as a hike and lead down to the water that has a really small area to play

Skeeters weren’t terrible between the fire, bug spray and bug room we were just fine and came out with minimal bites

You can procure firewood from woods

great place to bring family and friends for a day/night out in the outdoors. close the lake and trails. spaces are a bit close but some people prefer that!

I really enjoy this campground. My dog got a tick here (yes a tick) 15 years ago when I stayed here so I have been coming for many years. The close proximity to the lake is nice. This is not a motorized sport lake or float planes landing that I have ever seen means you can paddle out without worrying about other peoples wakes. It also lets you float silently and gives you better opportunities to get some great views of the local wildlife.

This is a large 98 site campground with all different sized spots including Premium spots (bigger /close to the water).

Like all State Recreation site it has all the basics, the campsites are spaced out which is nice. Not sure the reason but this campground was buggier than the South Rolly lake one, which I would go to first given the choice. But if that campground is full this is a great one to fall back on. Bring bug dope or a netted awning which I just got, worth the money if you are planning on doing lots of camping or have kids who already complain that you drag them camping.

Lake access, picnic area, trails, pretty forest areas , host, no pull through sites however so large rigs may be tight. In my video I accidentally state no motorized boats on the lake but yes they are allowed. Bear proof trash. FCFS, firewood 8 and 2 for 15

Being born and raised in Alaska, I am disappointed in myself for only going to Nancy Lake for the first time in 2018. This is such a cool lake and very shapely. Lots of coves to explore as well as beautiful lake front homes to day dream about.

We spent a whole day enjoying the water, fishing and exploring. The camp spots are conveniently located next to the launch as well.

The restrooms were very well kept which is also a bonus when camping!

this is an enjoyable little campground only about 25 miles from Wasilla, AK. The campground is right by Nancy Lake, which offers a recreation area and in the summer the lake is warm enough for swimming. It also offers two boat launches for those campers with boats and is a fun little lake to cruise around on. We often go there with our boat just on day trips. Wonderfully friendly camp host this summer (2016) and good facilities. Great place for a close camping weekend getaway.
