Best RV Parks & Resorts near Slana, AK

6 Reviews

Several RV camping options exist near Slana, Alaska within the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park region. Hart D Ranch Doubletree RV Park offers electric and water hookups with 30-amp service, sanitary dump stations, and accommodations for larger vehicles. Grizzly Lake Campground provides drinking water, electric hookups, and can accommodate big rig RVs with available dump stations. Eagle Trail State Recreation Area, located near Tok about 45 miles from the Nabesna Road turnoff, features big rig-friendly sites with picnic tables and is reservable with a season running May through September. "Definitely the kinda place you can call home for a few months outta the year, very helpful and friendly staff."

Road conditions vary significantly throughout the area, particularly along Nabesna Road which is paved until mile 15 before transitioning to maintained dirt roads with potholes and washboards. Cell service is limited at most locations, though some pull-outs along Nabesna Road offer minimal coverage. The closest full services are available in Tok or Glennallen, with groceries being considerably more expensive in Glennallen. RV travelers should arrive with fresh water supplies as drinking water is scarce among the campgrounds. Most parks accommodate pets, though Kendesnii Campground does not allow them. During heavy rain periods, creek crossings may require high clearance vehicles, and many campsites lack sewer hookups despite offering electric service.

    Kendesnii Campground — Wrangell-St. Elias National Park

    Beautiful, free, and no one around!

    Distances are vast in the north country, and the drive back into this free campground will take at least an hour from the visitor’s center, but it’s worth it. Set along the banks of a small lake, each of the sites offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains, and enough space between sites to feel like you’re there alone. Vault toilets, well water, and the usual picnic table and fire ring are the only amenities. Wide open sky, but no electricity, so bring your solar powered system! 

    Hiking, biking and paddling opportunities abound in the park, but bring your rubber boots because the ground is soft and many trails go through deep puddles. The road is paved and mostly good until mile 15 and then becomes a dirt road which is regularly maintained by the park service. Go slow as potholes and washboards are common regardless of the surface. 

    The closest full services are in Tok about 45 miles away from the Nabesna Road turnoff, or further south in Glenallen. Groceries are far more expensive in Glenallen than in Tok so if you’re coming that way fill up!

    Nabesna Road Wrangell St. Elias National Park

    Quiet, Free, & Out There!

    There are a couple of different ways to drive into the largest National Park in the US, Nabesna Road in the north, and the Richardson Hwy in the south of the park. Nabesna offers a multitude of FREE and beautiful parking/camping options along the 40 or so miles back to the end of the road. The road is paved and mostly good until mile 15 and then becomes a dirt road which is regularly maintained by the park service. Go slow as potholes and washboards are common regardless of the surface. 

    We camped at mile 19 at the double ended pull-out which has both a vault-toilet and trash/ recycling bins.  At either end of this pull out there is a picnic table and small fire ring, though there’s enough space for many more camping vehicles or tents. There was also a small bit of phone service here at the parking area, as a matter of fact many hunters/ fisher folks staying elsewhere stopped by regularly to check their phones.  But, there are no electrical hook-ups or water spigots anywhere along this road, so come prepared with fresh water (you can fill some containers at the visitors center) and bring your solar panels and you'll have plenty of electricity.

    There are views for days on any clear day to the north and to the south. Hiking trails are easily found within a few miles and riding the road on your bike is also a great option. Driving further into the park is recommended only for high clearance, 4-wheel drive vehicles. It had rained very heavily recently during our time there in July and many of the creeks and washes were crossing the road. While we were able to get through many with our truck, we eventually turned around before reaching the end of the road. 

    The closest full services are in Tok about 45 miles away or further south in Glenallen. Just a word about groceries, they are far more expensive in Glenallen than in Tok so if you’re coming that way, fill up!

    Eagle Trail State Rec Area

    Just 20 minutes outside of Tok this is an excellent campsite!

    Very spacious campsite next to a creek. Plenty of area to explore.You can even find various garnets and interesting rocks within the creek.
