LegendRight off the Highway this RV park is not bad. Although I prefer my camping more rural. If you are visiting and just want to start one way out of Anchorage this could be a choice for you. With everything from cabins, to full RV hook ups, to dry RV camping, and lakeside tent spots this is a good option for a first stop on a great Alaska adventure. Because of it’s proximity to Anchorage, Wasilla, and Palmer you are not far from anything. There is good cell and internet service here as well and stores to get everything you need. Spaces are close to each other and I would not recommend spending my entire camping trip there, but they are a good option if you need something close. Cell Service: Yes Internet: Yes Distance from Anchorage: Bug Factor (1 minimal to 10 too many to enjoy): 45 miles
LegendGood Sam member, offers full hookups with long term availability, propane, showers, recycling and awesome mountain views. Off the beaten path in between Butte and Palmer, this was a nice find. The sites are parking lot gravel style but very clean and well kept.
TravelerFavorite place we stayed at out of all locations on our trip. Cleanliest, coziest, well-taken care of place. Bathrooms and showers were 10/10. Spots had space, grass, fire pits, full hook up and dump hook up. Staff was so accommodating! Firewood and other amenities available. Only downside is mosquitos weren’t the best so a lot of people stayed in their campers and the highway noise is noticeable but not terrible. Somewhat busier campground, seemed like a lot of long term campers. Really recommend!
LegendThis is a surprising RV park in the valley. With amazing views, Showers, laundry, and picnic tables at each site there’s nothing missing from this RV park. It is not cheap but relatively standard for Alaska at $45 a night for two people in a single RV it includes Wi-Fi, full hook ups, and laundry/shower access. Each person over the age of 12 is an additional five dollars per night. There is excellent cell phone and Internet coverage at this park. Distance from anchorage is 40 miles. The best sites are the farthest from the tree line so you can see the great mountain views.
LegendA bit wide open and highway noise but on lake with laundry, showers, full hookups, firewood for sale, restaurant, matanuska lake access, long term parking too. Some sites have gorgeous lake views.
LegendIf you are looking for long term life in your RV. Then maybe. Otherwise just keep on driving. You’re in Alaska. There is so much more.
LegendWhile RV parks I usually leave to my parents this one isn’t bad. There are spots for RVs as well as tents. Close to a bike trail and a sandy beach to Johnson pond. There is decent space between RV and tons of wild flowers.
The owners clearly love this place and it is worth a stop if you are looking for a place to take your rig.
GuideNice clean campground on the river. Easy access to the river for the kids and fishing. Bathrooms were clean. Has full hook-ups, and a dump station on site if you don’t get a full hook-up. Only negative is it’s right off the Parks HWY. Basic playground for kids and a lot of tame bunnies for them to watch.
ScoutWide gravel and grass site with wooden picnic table, no firepit. Several RV tour companies use this park. There are more than 200 sites in this park. Showers were clean and free. Nice laundry room. About 1/4 of park is occupied by long-term residents - clean and well maintained. Park is located within a couple miles of downtown, across street from Costco, and adjacent to a large run down mobile home neighborhood. Wi-fi is offered, but we were too far away from the office so couldn't connect.
