"Dogs are allowed and there are fireworks and picnic tables at each site. It was overly quiet at night and I felt bad staying up with friends, taking and playing cards but quiet can be good ."
"Close to town but tucked away, this campground has a lot to offer. Larger sites for multiple campers and Rvs and smaller sites tucked in the trees to protect your tent."
"Excellent camp ground. a bit over priced but that alaska in the summer. we saw some free camping just north of here that would have rather stayed...but there was no sites available. so we stayed here showed"
"There are just a few small, thin trees separating each site so you end up very close to your neighbor. It is mostly geared for RV's so it is very basic."
"Nice and convenient spot to check out the town of Talkeetna and take a driving break before getting to Denali."
$28 - $100 / night

"Our planned stop at Three Bears Trapper Creek Inn& RV Park was a bust—their large pull-throughs were closed due to sewer issues—but they recommended Montana Creek Campground about 20 miles south."
"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."

"We are so glad that we got this advice from our cousins before heading to Alaska!"
"This canoground’s lake has a good supply of trout. Even found a greyling! The back country camp sites are in a remote walking distance."
LegendOur planned stop at Three Bears Trapper Creek Inn& RV Park was a bust—their large pull-throughs were closed due to sewer issues—but they recommended Montana Creek Campground about 20 miles south. We called, and they told us to come on in. Located just off the Parks Highway/AK-3, the friendly campground manager gave us a map of the dry-camping sites that were available, including a few in the tent section that could handle our 40’ fifth wheel and told us to pick a spot. We walked the grounds and chose back-in site 13 in the tent area, which was more than long enough for our rig and F450—we even got to put the back patio down. We needed to top off our water tank, but the spigot had weak pressure, so the fill took a while. Afterward, we backed up in the large parking lot and headed to our site. We had 2 bars LTE on Verizon and 1 bar roaming on T-Mobile. The site had a picnic table, fire pit, and a nice stand-up grill. The campsites on the north side have 30 AMP but no water. Toward the back of the campground are more wooded pull-through and back-in dry-camping sites—some well spaced with privacy from shrubbery—but this area isn’t tall-rig friendly. The campground filled up over the weekend with locals from the Anchorage area. The same office also registers campers for the Montana Creek Recreation Site across the street, which is essentially a back-in parking lot for smaller rigs. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay—especially with the chance to get in some fly fishing.
RangerLack of privacy in the first subdivision of sites. Beautiful trail down to the lake though. Would be interested in renting a public cabin and hiking to the remote sites. Appreciate the pet designated trail :)
LegendOperated by JJS, Jennifer, James and Steve this is a wonderful campground for fishing and relaxing the weekend away. Open year round with great prices too. On the confluence of the Susitna and Kashwitna rivers is it a great launching off spot for fishing. A good mix of open sites overlooking the Susitna river on loop A, and also more private sites on loops B and C. Pet friendly with 5 new pet waste stations installed this year. Need a morning mocha, Jennifer makes the best!
Guidesite: close together. very little privacy. pets ok. many mosquitos. inexpensive. amenities: not many sites. a couple cabins available. attractions: hiking. great scenery. near Denali NP. I would go camping here again.
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.
RangerBeing 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. Lots of coves to explore as well as beautiful lake front homes to day dream about.
We spent a whole day enjoying the water, fishing and exploring. The camp spots are conveniently located next to the launch as well.
The restrooms were very well kept which is also a bonus when camping!
LegendI really enjoy this campground. My dog got a tick here (yes a tick) 15 years ago when I stayed here so I have been coming for many years. The close proximity to the lake is nice. This is not a motorized sport lake or float planes landing that I have ever seen means you can paddle out without worrying about other peoples wakes. It also lets you float silently and gives you better opportunities to get some great views of the local wildlife.
This is a large 98 site campground with all different sized spots including Premium spots (bigger /close to the water).
Cell Service: spotty Internet: no 2020 Cost: $20 - $25 Distance from Anchorage: 76 miles Best sites: A2, A8, A20, A22, A26, A24 Bug Factor (1 minimal to 10 too many to enjoy): 4-7 depending on weather
TravelerTent camping options in Talkeetna are limited. Thisnhround isnlovayed at the end of the main road in town. It’s super cheap and adequate space for a large tent . Dogs are allowed and there are fireworks and picnic tables at each site. It was overly quiet at night and I felt bad staying up with friends, taking and playing cards but quiet can be good . The views of Denali are just steps away towards he river. One of the best views of Denali in my opinion! One Flush toilet and running water available onsite! Close walk to restaurants.
TravelerFrom the moment you step into a clean office, the staff are very friendly and answer all my questions. They even bring the fire wood to your site. We didn’t use the park bathrooms but I did se them cleaning them frequently. Great picnic area and even has basketball courts. We got a spot right in front of the river and it was Ana amazing awakening. This is by far one of the best parks I’ve seen in Alaska and prices are super affordable. Only reason is missing a 5* is because there is no R.V. dumping station and limited electrical spots.
