Typical RV park as we’ve seen in Alaska; it is located about a mile outside of town. It is owned by the city of Skagway, but run by someone else. The young woman in the office was friendly and helpful with suggestions.
Most sites are gravel, and there is no privacy/separation between sites. Some grass on the property does not look as if it has been mowed recently. Electric hookups, but it took a bit of work to get ours (Site 68) to work. Dump station and water fill available, but the water would not be sufficient to accommodate all rigs when the campground was full. We did not use either of these, so cannot comment on the functionality of either.
The laundry is the only laundromat in town, so it is used by people other than campers.
The women’s restroom has two toilets and two showers. The toilet paper dispensers in both stalls did not stay installed on the wall; each time they were either on the floor, or they fell down when I used them. The door does not close properly/lock, and it is located right next to the public laundromat, so it takes away any sense of security you might have. You’d better be able to take a quick shower (25 cents per minute, $1 minimum).
Construction was ongoing on the street directly in front of the park, with work starting at 6:30 am, so no alarm clock needed!
Tip: Two blocks away is the Skagway Recreation Center– a very well-equipped gym facility. $10 for a day pass ($3 for those over 65). Showers included.
