    Glenn Allen Stop Over

    A good combo of back in sites and pull through, however a little run down and sad. Pull through site too close together and back in sites were two to a group so side by side.$20 a night, dump station. Cul de sacs site are really wide open but great for a group. No camp host. Wouldn't want to vamp for extended period of time but good for a stop over site.

    Wet Creek

    Dry it was not! We stopped here in mid-June and there was water everywhere and based on the number of mosquitos it had been there some time. Well maintained. Water available. RV sites, pull through and back in. plenty of tent camping too. fire pits at each site, restrooms and trash dumpsters. some hiking trails too. $20 night. dog approved.

    Beautiful trees

    There were several available campsites in June. Some pull through. Vault toilets, fire pits and picnic tables. But mosquitos were horrendous.

    Ranch House Lodge

    One of our Best Campground Experiences

    We stayed here overnight on the way to Valdez and enjoyed it so much that we returned for two nights on the way back. The campground is right off the highway. Check-in was easy, and we were allowed to pick between two site options, and Karen was offering sites that were not next to another camper since the park wasn't full. We chose back-in site 52 with full hookups (50/30/20 AMP) in their new back area both times. Backing in was easy, and we appreciated that the pad has two sewer hookups, with water and electric centered. Water pressure was decent, around 40 psi. Pine trees surround many of the campsites; we had some, but still got a very usable Starlink signal. Verizon showed 4 bars and T-Mobile 1 bar. This campground is essentially off-grid Alaska, with all the challenges and rules that come with that. For example, black tank flushing isn’t allowed due to septic limitations, trash is burned on-site so flammable or unburnable items are prohibited, and the potable water may have some discoloration. The owners, Karen, who is very hospitable, and Andy, have put tremendous effort into creating this beautiful creekside campground. Campers are expected to respect the rules and Andy, rightfully so, lacks a bedside manner for those who do not. It was a delight to have no neighbors and a wonderful water-view site on Tolsona Creek, where we could hear the flowing water. There’s no formal dog park, but plenty of space to walk your dog. Arctic Grayling fishing was excellent while we were there in August. After over 360 reviews with RV Life, this campground ranks on our Top 10 list for Best Campground Experiences.

    Very wet

    We camped here and enjoyed how it was close to town but we still felt like we’re were far out. The sites are okay most of them have the picnic tables and fire pits in low areas where water collects so you can’t really use them

    Tonsina River Lodge

    Open Year Round

    Open year round, but closed Tuesdays in winter. RV hookups, laundry, bar and restaurant. Landing strip for small airplanes too. We just passed through here scouting it out for future trips and unfortunately they were closed that day. The RV sites seemed a little overgrown and uneven, but otherwise not bad. They offer authentic Russian and American food and a bar. Website has lovely pics of their rooms for rent.

    Tolsona Wilderness Campground

    Peaceful Stop in the Woods

    A bit overgrown but a wonderful Campground with lots of privacy space between sites and access to the creek for fishing. Inner tubes can be written in the creek along with fishing and waiting. Several walking trails in one hiking trail up to the mud volcanoes accessible through the campsite. Great children's activities in family friendly

    King For A Day Campground & Charters

    Roughing it even with hookups

    We drove through wanting to stay but were seriously grossed out. We got the impression that some sites had full time tenants. It was dirty, the bathrooms were stinky nasty outhouses with seats hanging on the wall. Trash just laying on the ground right next to the bins. Most sites were rough and wide open. A lot of did not have picnic tables or fire rings. Would not recommend unless you bring all your own amenities. Nothing but fishing so if that is what your looking for you may find it more acceptable than we did.
