"Wonderful fishing access to Montana Creek, nicely wooded secluded spots with no hookups, some wide open spots with hookups available up front but no privacy."
"You can just walk from your camper to the creek just on the other side of the retaining wall. It is heavily wooded and would be difficult to maneuver with a larger RV or toy hauler."

"We arrived late and called ahead to let them know."
"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."
"We stayed here using a pull through site, no power with a walking path directly to the lake. It ended up raining the whole weekend but was still a great trip."
"6 miles of canoe trails on Nancy Lake to keep you nice and busy all weekend long."
RangerThis is a great place to fish and play but it is located right next to the Parks Highway which can be loud and busy with tourists and semis in the summer. If you’re sleeping in a camper the noise might not be so bad but the Alaska Highway doesn’t have a quiet hour.
GuideWe live in the Fairbanks area and stayed here 2 nights. We used this park as sort of our anchor point as we spent time in Anchorage for a birthday trip and shopping. We arrived late and called ahead to let them know. We were told a map with our name on it would be taped to the door with bathroom codes but they must have forgotten because it wasn't there when we arrived. Not a huge deal but a little disappointing. We found this park to be quite charming with the beautiful office area and tree covered path to the door and all of the adorable bunnies hopping around. Wish we could have spent more time at the actual park but we had other plans. The park was for the most part pretty empty but we had neighbors directly next to us and diagonally to us. Unfortunately, both sets of neighbors were up late into the night (1 a.m.) being loud and had loud barking dogs. It was unfortunate for quiet hours not to he observed especially because the sites are pretty close to each other but we weren't going to poopoo on anyone's party. The creek was nice and relaxing. We had full hookups and stayed in a pull thru spot. We would attempt to stay here again.
RangerWe stayed here using a pull through site, no power with a walking path directly to the lake. It ended up raining the whole weekend but was still a great trip. The camp hosts were helpful with fire wood for sale, the toilets not terrible and bathroom area clean, kayak/canoe rentals on location, water, and a little sand area for kids to play in. We brought a canopy to hide from the rain, canoeing attire, food to cook on the campfire, fishing equipment and warm clothes. The second time we visited we needed shorts and tank tops! I would definitely return for a relaxing day on the lake.
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.
TravelerCampground was empty, check in was nice and staff was great. They have free wifi, showers, bathrooms and full hookup. Downsides is there’s no grass it’s just gravel. And the mosquitos were the worst we witnessed in all of Alaska. We couldn’t sit outside and there were 100s in our camper by the time we left. Just a negative of being on the river.
LegendWonderful fishing access to Montana Creek, nicely wooded secluded spots with no hookups, some wide open spots with hookups available up front but no privacy. Quaint little store with wonderfully friendly host. Great hiking trails down to the confluence of Montana Creek into the Susitna River. Recycling bins for plastic bottles as aluminum cans available. Loved the trees and greenery but quick access to fishing made this campsite ideal for us.
TravelerFamily friendly place, staff is super friendly and helpful. I did not expect the place to be that good! Bathrooms and showers are clean and there’s always toilet paper👌🏻👌🏻 we went with some friends and our kiddos loved the playground and playing in the sand. The facilities have washers and dryers. Since it’s next to the river expect mosquitos so take something to kill them and repellent. Loved it👌🏻👌🏻♥️♥️ 10/10
Legend6 miles of canoe trails on Nancy Lake to keep you nice and busy all weekend long. Tons of hiking, camp host, firewood for sale $8 or 2 for $15, several lake access day use sites with picnic tables and fire rings. Bear proof trash so they are here people.
TravelerI love the South Rolly Lake campground. We have been going here for years. The sites are large and campground staff clean them daily after campers leave. The outhouses are clean and also maintained daily. There are canoe and kayak rentals and the dock is great for fishing or swimming! There are also great hiking trails accessible from the campground including the Red Shirt Lake trail.
