Great Family Camping

Camp hosts were so nice! Good sized spots and all with a River view. Water and electric hook ups at most sites and no noise from generators. Picnic table a fire ring on sites.

You can rent float tubes for the River and the have life jackets for kids. We are already looking forward to our trip next year.

Not what it once was

This campground once was a true camping experience. Now it's more of children's activity park.  The office rents tubes and no one monitors where these tubes go,, no peaceful campsites, no fishing. The campground needs full maintenance, the sites are overgrow, the bathhouse is unkept and could use updates,  Just not wilderness, more theme park.

Fun in the woods

Great spot

In the middle of nowhere but still close enough to run to Glennallen. If you are camping anywhere between Lake Louise and Copper Center this is a great stop. I would recommend more than a single over night here.

If you don’t have a jacket the nice people there will sell you a hoodie. If you are staying in the area this is a great spot.

Peaceful Stop in the Woods

A bit overgrown but a wonderful Campground with lots of privacy space between sites and access to the creek for fishing. Inner tubes can be written in the creek along with fishing and waiting. Several walking trails in one hiking trail up to the mud volcanoes accessible through the campsite. Great children's activities in family friendly

Showers!

I’m not sure if it was the free hot shower, the free coffee in the morning, or the sound of sleeping by running water that sold me. Nice stop on the way to Wrangel and great hosts!

This is a family owned campground that offers daily family friendly activities.

Not Your Typical Alaskan RV Park!

This is not your typical Alaskan RV park! Sites are large, spread out and private. Each has a fire ring and a picnic table. All are creekside.

The owners maintain a camp store with basic necessities and also plan weekend activities and games for kids. Near the camp store are handicap accessible sites, bathrooms, private showers and laundry.

Near the entrance to the campground is the trailhead to the Tolsona Mud Volcanoes. The trail is usually pretty swampy, so be sure to wear tall boots and dress appropriately for the weather. Trail is 2-2.5mi round trip.

Gorgeous quiet campground with great amenities

Family friendly campground surrounded by creeks and trees. Quiet, clean, and incredibly friendly hosts. Hot showers and clean restrooms available for guests, as well as a “store” inside the check in office, with ice cream and other treats. Activities available on request (we got 2 frisbees to play in the open common area). I would recommend to any and everyone!

Fun, well-kept, family friendly

We stumbled upon this campground in our way home from Valdez over the 4th of July holiday one year. We were pleasantly surprised! The place was very clean and huge! Kind folks who were happy to chat and help us out. Beautiful property with a little river running through it. Hiking trails, private spots and family events available. Very child-friendly place. The showers and bathrooms were clean and their store was very nice and convenient. Overall great place and we will venture to Flennallen again to stay here.
