"In August we parked in space 22 with our rented pickup camper, and in October we rented one of the cabins for a short "get out of town" break (we live in Anchorage). "
"Far enough off the main highway to feel away from it all. Two lakes to fish with hiking trails to explore. Ranger talks nightly. Nice large sites with a huge group area."

"Great little cabin out in birch trees, amazingly beautiful and great time to relax"
"6 miles of canoe trails on Nancy Lake to keep you nice and busy all weekend long."
"Great, 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."
"Being born and raised in Alaska, I am disappointed in myself for only going to Nancy Lake for the first time in 2018. This is such a cool lake and very shapely."
"great place to bring family and friends for a day/night out in the outdoors. close the lake and trails. spaces are a bit close but some people prefer that!"
LegendThis is a cabin rental out in Willow. If you are looking at taking an Alaska trip or need a getaway with out having to pack all your gear this place in an option.
ScoutIncredible! Big spaces, clean bathrooms, really great large tent pads and long RV spots. Large space between each spot! Very secluded. Clean, well kept, each spot has a fire pit, sitting bench and picnic table. Lots of hiking trails. Public use cabins, boat rentals, dock and water access with life jackets. There is a trail that goes around the whole lake. This campground does not have cell service for GCI, maybe one bar with AT&T. I can’t say enough good things honestly, oh and it’s amazingly quiet. Worth the visit.
LegendThis RV park has everything from cabin rentals to dry RV sites as well as a two-story cabin that sleeps up to nine people. It is an amazing little drive to this RV park and they are right next-door to the flying squirrel. The flying squirrel is a must stop they have fresh made bread’s and pastries local produce breakfast lunch and on Fridays and Saturdays from 4 to 9 PM they have wood fire pizza. The prices here are pretty standard and worth a shot if you were down towards Talkeetna.
Travelerthe lake is near the sites but most are not on the lake. there is a dock and entrance for launching canoes or kayaks. we stayed in a dry cabin. It had a bed platform and built in table and several chairs. the porch had a roof which was nice when it rains. reservations can be made online. there are pit toilets and pump water.
GuideThis campground in Denali State Park opened in 2017 contains both a tent and RV loop, as well as, cabins. Vault toilets, drinking water, firewood, fire pits, and picnic tables available. RV sites include electric hook-ups. Several hiking trails in close proximity to campground. Amplitheater for ranger led programs also available.
ScoutWe stayed here twice in 2020. In August we parked in space 22 with our rented pickup camper, and in October we rented one of the cabins for a short "get out of town" break (we live in Anchorage). The weather was in our favor in August and we had an awesome view of Denali right from our campsite. While the RV campsites were closed in October, the cabins and, I believe, the tent sites were available.
I'd love to give this campground 5 stars, but when we were there in summer there was no water available. There is power to all the RV campsites but only a couple of water stands. The water supply stands were covered in plastic with no explanation. I don't know if this is a permanent situation so if you plan on staying here make sure to call ahead if you need a water source.
The cabin we stayed in in October was the one closest to the Ranger Sation. It was wonderfully quiet and we had hoped to do some star gazing but they keep the exterior lights on all night at the station. Not sure about you, but I'm wanting to get away from city lights and this was just plain annoying. The cabin is huge with two tables in the main room, a separate bedroom and a large loft up a circular metal staircase. I thought the loft would be nice to stay in but it was way too hot and the windows don't open. We brought our own wood for the stove and were comfortable all night. These cabins are a notch above the standard Alaska Forest Service cabins, but still pretty rustic. I think each has an outdoor space with table and fire ring.
My complaints are specific to me and I would still highly recommend this campground
TravelerMultiple first come, first serve loops with spots for both tents and RVs. Reasonably priced ($20/night), picnic tables and fire rings, plenty of trees for hammocks, vault toilets, a water source, and close to the interstate. The lake is gorgeous and has a trail to hike around it.
TravelerLarge campground with plenty of choices to pitch tents or hook up rv. Clean facilities. Fire pits and picnic tables. Near lakes for canoe/kayak and plenty of hiking trails.
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.
