98 sites. The recreation area combination of lakes, wetlands, and forests create an ideal habitat for many mammals and birds. Perhaps most noticeable to the summer visitor are water dwellers, especially beaver and waterfowl. Beavers are active in lakes and ponds throughout the park and visitors can see evidence of their work. These animals are vital to maintaining crucial water levels in the ecosystem; their dams and lodges must not be disturbed.

We stayed here one night. Lots of mozzies. There are pit toilets and lots of sites to choose from. The campground is great if you like fishing or canoeing.
Guide
We 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.
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

Found this campground to be very tightly packed sites. It’s right on Montana Creek so great for fly fishing. Across the highway is a private campground with hook ups and a market
TravelerOne of our favorite places to stay on our way to anchorage!
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.
GuideReally enjoyed our stay here. Lots of options for lake front, pull through, and back in. I recommend making a loop around before choosing a spot. Camp host was very nice. If you have kids bring their bikes!
GuideThis campground is popular with rafters and fishermen who like to drive upstream and float back to the campground. Willow Creek gets a good annual run of King, Silvers and Pink Salmon...with the occasional Chum. Rainbow and Dolly Vardon are especially good in the fall. Kids loved the domestic bunnies, which populate the campground.
LegendKeep your dogs on a leash there are lots of bunnies.
Fishing Early spring you can pick fiddle head ferns Playground
Right on the river and plenty of things to do.
LegendThis review is for the privately owned campground.
Most of mosquitoes. Love the beach. Great place to bring bicycles.
Watch our for uneven ground at campsites. There is a large hole in campsite #39.
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.
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.
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.
TravelerThis is a beautiful spot right on the creek. 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.
LegendThis is a great place to stop and fish and look for wildlife. Amazing views, trees, and FISH..
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.
GuideThis seems like a well loved campsite and the lake was beautiful! Lots of sites to choose from and a lot of moose!
GuideAmazing how many of the sites don't look like they are often used! Several large pull through sites . we choose the B loop and have a beautiful site on a hill. Large and roomy. Potable water available in nearby Willow at Three Bears. Pit toilets and we'll water in the campground ( boil water).
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.
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.
RangerWe were aiming for Nancy Lake Park and didn’t pull up our maps and found ourselves at South Rolly. This was a wonderful surprise! The campground has so many cool sites tucked away. There is also a lovely little central area safe for kids to play in. We stayed up until the rise telling stories around the fire and taking late night swims.
TravelerWe have stayed here a few times and it has been nice. The area is great for fishing, we have always only fished there for silvers in early fall. Many places to hike around and you’re right on the creek. Campground is kept well and clean. I don’t feel like we had enough privacy between camp spots.
TravelerThis is a family favorite. We enjoy the beautiful lake, hiking trails and just the peace and quiet the campground has to offer. Sites are pretty generous and private. Hiking trails are bountiful and beautiful. There is a canoe trail between some lakes around the area and South Rolly Lake itself is fun to take your canoe or kayak out on.
ScoutGreat, well maintained campground for a base camp for exploring the Nancy Lake Rec. Area! We hiked on the nearby Red Shirt Lake Trail and caught a ton of small northern pike on Red Shirt Lake. There is a great canoe rental shop in the campground that provides everything you need to get on the water.
RangerThis campground can be found at the end of Nancy Lake Pkwy and have lots of great camping spots to choose from. Friendly host and clean facilities. A few great hikes nearby, including Red Shirt Lake trail and great water recreation opportunities on the lake, including kayaking and canoeing. Was busier when I was there but beautiful views at the campsite. Visited in late fall too not to camp but for daytime recreation and love it!
