Northern Nights Campground

6 ReviewsAdd Review

Accessible via the Glenn Highway, Northern Nights Campground sits at the intersection with Richardson Highway in Glennallen, operating from May through October. The facility provides both RV sites with electric and water hookups plus four tent sites, two featuring gravel pads for campers preferring not to set up directly on loose gravel.

The campground includes basic amenities like restrooms, showers, and laundry facilities, though recent visitors note maintenance concerns. "This campsite is so poorly maintained with toilet paper not being replaced, dirty showers," reports one camper from 2024. The shower system operates on a token basis, which some find inconvenient. Sites tend to run small and may require leveling, particularly for RVs.

Location proves convenient for travelers, positioned directly across from a gas station for fuel and supplies. Mosquitoes can be numerous during summer months despite the campground's distance from standing water. Registration after hours works through information left in a white mailbox outside the office. Rates aren't consistently posted online, so calling ahead helps with planning.

The campground functions as a practical overnight stop for those traveling Alaska's highway system, particularly suited to RVers needing hookups and tent campers comfortable with basic facilities in a roadside setting.

Not worth the price

I spent a night here and have to say, not impressed.  Basic.  The sites are small and mostly unlevel. One dump station and the bathhouse was questionable.   I don't like the token system for showers and found the bathhouse a little dirty.

Not well maintained

I stayed for two nights within a span of a few days due to car troubles. This campsite is so poorly maintained with toilet paper not being replaced, dirty showers, and TONS of mosquitoes. This is not even near water so I don’t understand how the sites have hundreds of mosquitos in them. It costs $8 per load of laundry and only one dirty/cold shower works.

kind of a mess

Basic. Bathrooms and showers not operational.  Location is okay, but there are other campgrounds on the glenn hwy that offer a better experience.

Decent Place to spend the night

This is a safe but bare bones RV park. The sites were clean and level, but not too many FH. The surrounding area isn’t too tip top maintained, but it was fine and well priced for the night.

Right off highway

This RV Park is right off the highway and close to all you will need in Glennallen. Right across from the gas station. You can fill up and grab snacks.

Clean and Friendly

Came to this campground in May when they were in the process of opening it. It is in a great location near the intersection of the Glenn Highway (1) and the Richardson Highway (4). I spoke to the owner and his brother and they we're both extremely nice and helpful. They provide showers, laundry facilities,cabins, RV sites, and 4 tent sites. Two of the tent sites have pads you can put your tent on if you don't want to set it up on gravel. If you get there after hours, you can register for a site with the info in the white mailbox on the porch outside of the office. Check out their website for more info, it is very helpful! Although I could never find the rates on there.
