    Northern Nights Campground

    Not well maintained

    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.

    Great spot while traveling between cities

    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.

    kind of a mess

    Basic. Bathrooms and showers not operational.  Location is okay, but there are other campgrounds on the glenn hwy that offer a better experience.

    Wonderful people, great campground, love the Tavern

    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

    Wonderful & Friendly

    The 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! :)

    Tolsona campground

    Creeksites 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.

    Glennallen Camping

    On 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

    Best Glennallen Campground. Best Tolsona Campground

    On the Glenn Hwy in Tolsona this campground has all the amenities you could want. Large level sites. Full hook up. Waterfront sites on the creek. Greyling and Trout Fishing in the Tolsona Creek. Clean bathrooms. Tavern that not only has a full bar, but makes homemade pizza and chili.  I gather that the small community of Tolsona is often looked past so like other businesses in area use Glennallen as the location. So I say Best Campground Glennallen, Best Campground Tolsona. So you if want the best go here for Tolsona Camping, Glennallen camping.

    Tolsona Campground Peaceful Quiet Fish Creek

    After staying at another campground on my last trip to the Glennallen area, I gave the Ranch House in Tolsona a try. I will never stay anywhere else. The sites are truly enchanting. Large, level, and open. The creek is right there and after staying elsewhere I could not help but compare how charming this campground is.  The added charm of the owners and the historic lodge, just makes this the place to spend time at.  Loved it.

    Great little fishing/relaxed camping spot

    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".

    Great people and place

    The campsites are decently sized. The people working, visiting and in the area were all great. Very respectful of each other, helping newer fishers with techniques and how to tips. we had many great encounters with people on this adventure. Caught lots of reds and exchanged some great receipts with others. We took the car and gear without any problems. The shop had firewood for sale along with basic necessities.

    This RV Park is right off the highway and close to all you will need in Glennallen. Right across from the gas station. You can fill up and grab snacks.

    Right on the river

    Well maintained campground. Kind of like a folk festival. Very friendly staff. If you are looking for a great place to camp here it is.

    Call and make reservations! 907-822-3991 or kscharters@gmail.com

    Prices are a little high for tent camping but pretty standard for RVs. Pets are welcome but drive slowly. Not a ton of room between spots.

    If you are into fishing then maybe

    This is a place to stay if all you want is fishing. Not a family campground. I tried reserving their cabin but it was no longer for rent.

    If you are looking to just stop somewhere there are plenty of pull offs on the side of the road.

    This campground is right on the river but for $20 a day you can go to a state campground for $5 more and have a better experience.

    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.

    Clean and Friendly

    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.
