Loved the location. Close to Glenallen and not far from Valdez. Lots of spots with great shade. We found a spot in the back right on the creek. Left to go to Valdez and came back and found the same spot still open. Absolutely loved the campground minus the mosquitos.
Scout
Perfect place to camp
Guide
I stayed for two nights within a span of a few days due to car troubles. This campsite is so poorly maintained with toilet paper not being replaced, dirty showers, and TONS of mosquitoes. This is not even near water so I don’t understand how the sites have hundreds of mosquitos in them. It costs $8 per load of laundry and only one dirty/cold shower works.

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.

You can not beat your surroundings and the view!! I would give it 5/5 stars for that..
I asked the guy at the counter if the Basecamp is private. He said yes. It's unfortunate that you have to drive down the terrible, McCarty road. It was bad. They just grated it and if we didn't have a raff adventure booked my husband would have turned around since we are hauling a camper. I'm surprised nothing broke but we still need to get back :(
Considering we are in the park, I wish they had more camping options. I gave it 3/5 stars as I'm comparing to other campgrounds...$35 for NO amenities is a lot.....if it was going to the national park to pay for the footbridge maybe my opinion would be different. You get a spot with no electric or water, no bathrooms, no trash. I asked the guy at the counter and he said "no trash is our biggest complaint". So $35 is a bit much for where we are, but since this is a once in a lifetime trip for us, I get it. We enjoyed the remoteness of the town and the idea of this small community. Usually when you end up in areas this remote, you end up with free camping or cheap camping via the national park service....
We biked five miles to Kennicott mine, we got picked up at footbridge for our raft adventure and it wasn't far to eat at "the potato" for lunch.

Quiet and awsome
RangerTiny camp site with beautiful waterfall. Really nice spot to listen to green noises.
RangerLater in the summer here the better the experience 🤘🏻
Ranger
One of my favorite stops in Alaska 🤘🏻
ScoutBasic. Bathrooms and showers not operational. Location is okay, but there are other campgrounds on the glenn hwy that offer a better experience.
Scout
Campground is closed. There is a sign on the road leading in - closed no other explanation given.
ScoutGreat 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
Scout
Would stay here again in a heartbeat, beautiful mountains and good fishing!
Scout
The campground has many sites with some pull-thrus. There is a lot of space between sites and there was literally no one there. Stopped in after a weekend of fishing in Valdez and wanted to visit the Wrangell mountain visitor center. I had to backtrack some but it was worth it. It’s primitive but relaxing and quiet. I’ll definitely stop there again!
Scout
Had the whole place to ourselves. Site #1 right next to river. Porta Potty for toilet but it was clean. Rocking cell service for Verizon and ATT. Late July zero mosquitoes.
LegendWe 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
Legend
We came across this campground riding into wrangell st elias and decided to check it out. Lots of porcupines in the area which was neat. Not very private but not bad. Beautiful drive to get there
GuideThis is a safe but bare bones RV park. The sites were clean and level, but not too many FH. The surrounding area isn’t too tip top maintained, but it was fine and well priced for the night.
ScoutThe moment you arrive, the hosts greet you with all the hospitality you can imagine. The lodge has so much history filled with great food, drinks & dessert!
The camping spots are right off the creek which makes for a perfect evening stroll and peaceful morning cup of coffee.
We will be back! :)
LegendWe really enjoyed camping here. This was our first place we camped in Alaska and it was very clean. It has a beautiful view with the lake right there and the beavers are very active. Clean bathrooms
ScoutThere were several available campsites in June. Some pull through. Vault toilets, fire pits and picnic tables. But mosquitos were horrendous.
RangerI love this campground right on the Gakona River. Any time I’ve gone I’ve been the only one. Different types of sites, is very buggy in July.
RangerBeautiful campground! Not many sites, but a few right by the waterfall. It’s a shard turn off the road so when coming near Chitna keep your eyes peeled.
Also great for a short hike!
Pros: tent platforms to practice those LNT skills!
RangerSmall campground with sites close to one another. Right off Richardson Hwy and across from the Gulkana airport.
Pros: group camping, pull throughs, water, restrooms
RangerPerfect spot to stretch stiff legs up in Thomson’s pass. There is a great loop trail less than 3 miles if you are just passing through.
Due to covid no host, no services including cell phone service.
This area tends to get “socked” in so be prepared to be one with the clouds. If driving drive slow lots of twists, don’t use your brights it will be harder to see.
ScoutCreeksites are fabulous. Peaceful, Hear the creek. Enjoy the sun. Well managed, all sites 50/30/20 amp. Have full hook up as well as tent sites. Keep the place clean. Owners also run the lodge and you need to see inside to understand the beauty. Hand peeled logs, the fireplace was burning, just amazing. A must stop on your Alaskan adventure.
ScoutOn the way to Valdez we camped at the Ranch House. Very much enjoyed our stay. We have truck camper so the bathhouse is essential. And this campground has all others beat. Not just clean but decorated in moose motif and wood. Very cute. Trout and greyling were multiple but not large. Fun to fish. Had a drink at the bar talked with other guests. Found out about somethings to do in Valdez which is about 2 hours from here. Well maintained sites, bear cans for trash, each site seemed to have fire ring and table. 5 star campground
