Best Cabin Camping near Copper Center, AK

Came to this campground in May when they were in the process of opening it. It is in a great location near the intersection of the Glenn Highway (1) and the Richardson Highway (4). I spoke to the owner and his brother and they we're both extremely nice and helpful. They provide showers, laundry facilities,cabins, RV sites, and 4 tent sites. Two of the tent sites have pads you can put your tent on if you don't want to set it up on gravel. If you get there after hours, you can register for a site with the info in the white mailbox on the porch outside of the office. Check out their website for more info, it is very helpful! Although I could never find the rates on there.

Great RV campground. Owners are very friendly, helpful, personable.. We had a great time.  Andy and Karen were lovely host great conversation. The grounds were well kept Andy stayed busy. Sites were nicely spaced out very level. Each site had a table and a fire pit.. Experienced no problem with power or water. Bath houses were gorgeous. The overall value was great with free wifi and hot, clean showers. There is also laundry and firewood available for a good price as well. We stopped into the tavern for some pizza, chili, and beers. It had a community feel to it and we were able to meet and talk to a lot of great people. 100% recommend staying here

We planned on staying here to break up our travel along the Glenn going from Palmer to Valdez. This was the perfect place for the night. We had the pleasure of being there on the last day they were open for the season. It was pouring down rain so we joined the owners in their roadhouse for a bowl of chili and pizza instead of sitting outside in the rain. We ended up chatting with them for hours and enjoyed sharing stories about camping and campers we're encountered. As the only tent campers left, they told us to pick any site that looked nice. They were all great tent sites with a stream that runs behind them. Even though it's right off the main highway, the traffic noise is minimal. The tent sites are large with a picnic table, fire ring, and plenty of trees. The shower houses were clean and water warm.

Best place we stayed on our 900 mile round trip starting from Fairbanks. Fishing was good. Took us about an hour to land 4 sockeyes. Owners came down, gave us tips and offered to loan some gear we hadn't realized we needed. Bald eagles were playing, and flying around all day. The campsite we picked was by the river, plenty of room, picnic table, fire pit and a spot for our car.

This place is truly local and supports local. We were treated like locals even though we were 2000 miles from home and never been to Alaska before. I'm looking forward to coming back next year.

I definitely recommend this place for anyone who isn't impressed by people being herded from national parks into resorts, funnelled into gift shops reselling Walmart apparel and overpriced "dinner theatres".

We recently stayed at Ranch House Lodge in Tolsona, AK, and it was hands down one of the most memorable RV experiences we've ever had— not just because of the beautiful setting, but because of the incredible kindness and hospitality of the owners. They went out of their way to make our daughter’s birthday truly special. Without us even mentioning it in advance, they surprised her with a thoughtful gift, decorated a space in their dining room just for her, and gathered to sing Happy Birthday. It was such a genuine and touching gesture, and it made the day unforgettable for our whole family. The RV park itself is excellent— clean, spacious, and well laid out. The sites are level, with full hookups, and you can choose whether you want to be right along the river or a little further back in a quieter area. The bathrooms and showers were impressively clean and clearly very well maintained. The on-site lodge serves delicious food, and quickly became a favorite hangout spot during our stay. What really sets Ranch House Lodge apart, though, is the history and character of the place. The owners gave us a tour of the property and shared its fascinating backstory. The lodge and grounds are filled with antique items— old cars, vintage washing machines, cash registers, and all kinds of machines true to the era when the lodge was originally built. It felt like stepping back in time, and you could tell how much love and care has gone into preserving that history. Ranch House Lodge is more than just a stopover— it’s a destination full of charm, warmth, and stories. We felt so welcomed and truly appreciated the personal touches throughout our stay. We can’t recommend it highly enough and are already looking forward to coming back!
