Best RV Parks & Resorts near Trapper Creek, AK

Nice 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.

Campground 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.

Incredible! 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.

Not the best of RV camp spots that we've had, but at least it was close to downtown Talkeetna. The campgound backs up against the railroad tracks so at least twice a day you get to hear the trains go through. Yes the freight train going through in the early morning woke us up. Friendly owner, showers, and a small gift shop made this spot a bit more tolerable. Only a few spots had trees between each other. More of a parking lot than a true camoground.

This beautiful campsite has wonderful short walk in tent sites and large RV electric hook up sites. All this with Wonder and beauty of Alaska. Really well maintained. You have to book these sites well in advance with means unless you are tent camping you have 1% chance of finding an open spot at random. Even autumn camping times are booked.

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.

Large 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.

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. 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.

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

This place allows all sorts of camping not just campers. RVs are aloud and so are streamlines

I live in Talkeetna and we still frequent this campground. 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. If you get their early enough you can get a site that allows for you to launch your boat and park it right at camp as well!

We 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

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. Some sites are FCFS but most reservable on line and booked way in advance. Firewood available for purchase and pavillion is rentable for events. All sites have electric too. Beautiful campground with clean bathrooms.

Busy. No real clean up between campers. They added more sites recently and it’s nice but only gravel pads and Not all sites are level. Busy road and river with lots of noise up and down. Bathrooms leave something to be desired.

If you have a very large RV or a regular RV hauling your ATVs this is definitely an option. There are trees in between the sites.

You are so close to Hatchers Pass, Talkeetna, and Wasilla.
