"It's more of a place to just park your rig, but with all the amenities within walking distance in every direction, it's a great jump-off place."
"The location is unbeatable. You are right by the harbor and walking distance to shops/ restaurants."
$30 - $55 / night
"Great bike paths. Saw bear feeding from bike path, accessible from campground (along the Richardson highway, not IN the camp area)"
"It’s tight between spots and depending on your camper door location you may be walking out staring at your neighbors septic drain."
"The other spots close by are parking lots or overgrown buggy areas. Close to hiking trails I would try this spot before any others."
"The tent sites are centrally located, but the location feels super private. The tent sites have access to laundry, good drinking water, dish washing, bathrooms, HOT showers(!)"
$25 - $165 / night
"It is conveniently located in town within walking distance of the grocery stores, restaurants, and harbor."
"There is a tent area in the center and this park is close to everything. These are full hook ups and if you remember a cable you can get cable TV too. "
"Next to glacier creek. Salmon run Aug-early Sept. Google map Mineral Creek Rd, take it to end then keep going down gravel road. There's a car bridge to get to other side of creek."
$51 - $247 / night
"Remember there are two seasons in Alaska. Winter and construction. Plan for extra travel time.
Amazing views. Better than the parking lot RV parks in town. Well maintained and centrally located."
"Very pretty spot with some space to walk the dogs and a fantastic bike/walking trail (also very helpful with walking dogs). We’ve seen plenty of bears (black mostly and one grizzly on a hike)."
"Close to some really cool hikes and just 30-40 feet from the ocean."
"Only downside is that it is a bit far from downtown but close to the Valdez Glacier and Lake access."
"This was a nice spot, a little outside of town. Lots of camping sites standard or RV. Very pretty."
"Creek next to lot provides white noise for sleeping."
LegendWe followed our GPS straight into the middle of town and right to the campground. Check-in at the office was quick, and we pulled into Pull-through Site 43 with FHUs (30 AMP). The campground was essentially a large gravel parking lot with sparse patches of grass and weeds between a mix of pull-through and back-in sites. While the sites were very close together, the spectacular mountain views in every direction made this CG special. The utilities were well placed in the center of the long pad, allowing us to drop the patio on our 40’ toy hauler and still park our F450. Water pressure was steady at about 50 PSI, and each site had a small picnic table. Connectivity was mixed: 4 bars on Verizon extended network, 3 bars on T-Mobile (sometimes workable), and above-average campground WiFi. With no trees on-site, Starlink had a clear shot from the roof, though placing it on the ground wasn’t practical with other rigs and vehicles moving about. The domestic rabbits that roam all over Valdez were an unexpected and fun addition to our stay. We usually don’t choose in-town campgrounds, but Bear Paw worked well for us. Its location made it easy to explore everything Valdez had to offer, and the surrounding mountain views made the close sites and gravel lot worthwhile.
ScoutWe stayed 3 nights in misc sites because they were busy and we had no reservations. The tent spots had pretty good space and great views. Yes the RV spots are tight but so is everything in town. Super friendly hosts and the best showers of our two month trip.
TravelerIt's not your typical "cozy" campground. It's more of a place to just park your rig, but with all the amenities within walking distance in every direction, it's a great jump-off place. You look up and there are majestic mountains, still with patches of snow and beautiful waterfalls from way high up, 360° surrounding you. You breathe in the fresh salty air and hear the seagulls calling out Who cares where you're parked?
TravelerThis campground is in the Thompson Pass and the scenery is unbelievable. The campsite has vault toilets, but they were clean. There was drinking water. The only downside was the mosquitoes.
I don’t remember seeing pull-thru sites.
TravelerWhat a gem! This campground has amazing views but is very small. The mosquitos were relentless but what a view. There is no cellphone service at all, so make sure you download what you need. The pit toilets were very clean. Spots were $25 a night, I don't remember what day parking is. It was a shame to see some people pulling in, not paying fishing and then leaving. This park survives on "donations" so please don't be that person!
TravelerWhat a gorgeous place to spend the night. The sound of the waterfall lulls you to sleep. Being fourth of July folks were riding side by sides but very friendly. We took the bridge over and went back the road for about 2 miles. We had a 17 foot camper and SUV. In laws had a van. Parked right beside the river and waterfall.
ScoutI parked at this coordinate. I found two RVs there. (61.1415202, -146.3619950). The Mineral Creek trailhead is cross the bridge.
ScoutNot alot of spots, but if you're lucky it is a great place!
GuideGot here late one night before leaving on the ferry the next morning. Did not cross the bridge because there was someone already set up on the other side of the creek. It was rainy when we got there but had no trouble getting in and out.
