Best RV Parks & Resorts near Valdez, AK

Valdez offers five RV parks within city limits, all featuring full hookups with water, electric, and sewer connections. Bear Paw RV Park near the small boat harbor provides centrally located sites on a gravel lot with tight spacing between units. "Spots were a little tight and you can hear your neighbors conversations," noted one visitor. Eagle's Rest RV Park accommodates big rigs and provides 50-amp service, with sites arranged awning-to-awning in a parking lot configuration. Valdez KOA, located about 8 miles outside town, offers more spacious sites with both 30-amp and 50-amp electric options across its 86 campsites, particularly in sites 38-44 which provide better privacy and tree coverage.

The camping season in Valdez generally runs from May through mid-September, with most facilities closing after Labor Day. All downtown RV parks position campers within walking distance of harbor services, grocery stores, and restaurants, though space limitations create tight parking conditions at most facilities. Sanitary dump stations are available at all major RV parks, with additional amenities varying by location. Based on reviews from The Dyrt, visitors appreciate the clean facilities but note the parking lot atmosphere of in-town options. Cell service is generally reliable throughout the area, with Wi-Fi available at most established RV parks. Pet-friendly policies are standard, though some locations have designated pet walking areas to accommodate the limited green space.

    Bear Paw RV Park

    Convenient Basecamp for Exploring Valdez

    We 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.

    Eagle's Rest RV Park

    Worth the $$

    From a previous scouting trip my parents stayed here one night and LOVED it.  We recommend that they stay in a parking lot area after our Bugpocalypse a few weeks prior.  They reported no bugs here.  The spot was reserved it in advance and the reservation requests the side the RVs slides are on.  You are greeted by a golf cart on arrival they show you to your spot and directed you in so that they would have no issues using their slides.  The views of Valdez are amazing no matter where you go.  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.  There is a huge area to walk your furry travel buddies as well.  If you are staying Valdez this is an excellent choice.   Cell Service: Yes Internet: Yes 2020 Cost: $41-$61 RVs Distance from Anchorage: 308 miles Bug Factor (1 minimal to 10 too many to enjoy): 1

    Valdez Glacier

    Breathtaking Views

    Gorgeous views of mountains and glacier abound. This campground is by far the best in Valdez if you want woods and not waterfront. Previously military only, now everyone is welcome. Pavilion and day use area, showers and restrooms of course. Also RV site with hookups and lots without. Tent sites too. Tons of sites to choose from your bound to find the perfect one for you. Lots of pull through sites for larger rigs, firewood for purchase $8 so grab it before you come. Nice deep sites with plenty of wood coverage for privacy. Only downside is that it is a bit far from downtown but close to the Valdez Glacier and Lake access. Sorry for the watery pictures I waited till we were headed out to take them and it had started raining my then.

    Tonsina River Lodge

    Open Year Round

    Open year round, but closed Tuesdays in winter. RV hookups, laundry, bar and restaurant. Landing strip for small airplanes too. We just passed through here scouting it out for future trips and unfortunately they were closed that day. The RV sites seemed a little overgrown and uneven, but otherwise not bad. They offer authentic Russian and American food and a bar. Website has lovely pics of their rooms for rent.

    Eagle's Rest RV Park

    Third best in Valdez

    After checking out all the campgrounds for RV's in Valdez this would be ranked as #3 for us. Tight spots, awning to awning, make it lack privacy and being a large gravel area has it lacking in charm. There are full hookups and ut backs up against the gas station and grocery store so convenient in that way. All the RV campgrounds in town are within walking distance to the docks so choose wisely.

    Blueberry Lake State Recreation Site

    Blueberry Heaven

    Situated beautifully up in Thompson Pass is Blueberry Lake and on that lake is Blueberry Lake State Rec Site. With 14 campsites it's small but surrounded in beauty. Site 15 is reserved for the host. This is raw camping just restrooms, firepits, and picnic tables. The whole campground is paved which is wonderful and there are two pavilions along the lake for use. Blueberries abound for picking when in season and Valdez is just a pretty drive down the road. Loved everything about this campground. Wonderfully clean bathrooms and only $25 a night.

    Bear Paw RV Park

    Right by the small boat harbor/ middle of the action

    The location is unbeatable. You are right by the harbor and walking distance to shops/ restaurants. Down side is you’re right in the middle of everything so it’s more of a parking lot than a scenic spot. Spots were a little tight and you can hear your neighbors conversations. There are no fire rings and we don’t think campfire is allowed. But bathrooms are clean. The harbor is beautiful. Stay here if you want to be centrally located.

    Eagle's Rest RV Park

    Everything You Need!

    This campground was exactly what we were looking for. It is conveniently located in town within walking distance of the grocery stores, restaurants, and harbor. Surrounded by gorgeous mountains you will wake up with beautiful views of the sunrise over the mountains. There were not many campers here when we stayed, but I think this place fills up during the tourist season and fishing season. There is also a station to clean the fish you caught. Showers are available as part of the expenses. We opted for tent camping in the green in the middle of the rv park, but they also have cabins for rent and hookups for rvs.
