The Best Camping Near Valdez, Alaska

With cabins, tent sites, Rv sites this KOA has it all. There is a playground for the human kiddos and even another for the fur babies in your life. Store on site, firewood for purchase and dump. Sites along the paved bike trail but a bit outside downtown for riding in for us out of shapers. Sites 38-44 our favorites for privacy and trees and across from a small pond. There are sites of all variety for hookups but a nice campground all around.

KOA what's more to say

Remember there are two seasons in Alaska. Winter and construction. Plan for extra travel time. 

Amazing views. Better than the parking lot RV parks in town. Well maintained and centrally located. If you are looking for hook ups this is the place to go. Camp in the wilderness but still get your emails. 

So close to so many side trips. Bridal falls, Robe lake, Solomon Gulch hatchery, and so many others.

Great campground and will be going back the next time I am in Valdez. Buildings are kept very clean and supplies always filled. Stayed at a tent site and enjoyed being able to set up under the trees. Not a lot of noise at the site even when the kids were playing on the playground. Also an area for dogs to run around is nice. 

Great Campground 

We were there two days the end of May 2021. We had reservations and arrived after hours. We had an issue connecting properly to the water. I alerted management(Lori) via text. She responded with urgency and quickly solved the issue and compensated us for our trouble. Quite frankly, I was taken aback by how concerned she was with making sure we left feeling great about our stay there. Oh, and the bathrooms and showers are CLEAN! Thanks so much, Lori and KOA staff.

Staff treats you like family.....maybe better!

Valdez KOA has super friendly staff and they’ve gone above and beyond to make accommodations for our party which includes an rv family and a cabin family. Very pretty spot with some space to walk the dogs and a fantastic bike/walking trail (also very helpful with walking dogs). We’ve seen plenty of bears (black mostly and one grizzly on a hike). You do need a car to get to Valdez or to some of the waterfalls/hiking as the campground is about 8 miles outside of town. 

Very nice woodsy spot!

The price of $44 for a non-hookup tent site had us apprehensive at first, but after one night at a not so great site down the road we decided to give it a try and we were overall impressed. The campground WiFi was top notch, the showers were free with your stay and were clean with hot water, there’s laundry on site (takes quarters, $3 for wash, 2 for dry). Overall a very pleasant stay.
