Best RV Parks & Resorts in Alaska

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

RV campgrounds in Alaska range from scenic waterfront locations to mountain-adjacent facilities with varying hookup options. Homer Spit Campground provides full-service sites with electric, water, and sewer hookups for travelers visiting the Kenai Peninsula, operating from May through September. At Seward City Campgrounds, RV sites include electric and water hookups, with summer operation extending from April 15 to September 30 and limited winter services available. Mendenhall Lake Campground near Juneau offers 50-amp electrical service with water and sewer connections, though sites fill quickly during peak season. Centennial Camper Park in Anchorage accommodates larger motorhomes with electric and water connections, operating mid-May through September. "The sites have enough space between for slide outs, but still a little tight," noted one visitor about a Fairbanks RV park.

Many Alaska RV parks require advance reservations during the May-September peak season when tourism surges. Road conditions can significantly impact RV travel, especially on routes to more remote campgrounds where paved access transitions to gravel. Dump stations are available at larger facilities including Homer Spit, Riley Creek, and Centennial Camper Park, but may close during winter months. Cell service varies considerably throughout the state, with stronger coverage near larger communities like Anchorage and Fairbanks. Most RV parks welcome pets, though some impose restrictions or designated areas. According to a review, "We really enjoyed ourselves here," at a park offering comprehensive services including fish cleaning stations and charter services—amenities particularly valuable for RV travelers visiting Alaska for fishing opportunities.

    Fairbanks / Chena River KOA

    One of the Best KOAs We've Stayed

    For once in a long time on our journey through Alaska, the campground (CG) was not right off the highway. We followed our RV GPS to the Badger Road exit and found the CG tucked back from the main road. Check-in was busy but quick. We were assigned pull-through site 133D with full hookups and 50 AMP. This site has special routing instructions—staff had us drive a few hundred yards down Old Badger Road, which runs adjacent to the CG, to enter through the back KOA gate. From there, it was an easy approach into our site. Site 133D is a KOA Patio site with a deluxe Trex deck, outdoor furniture, propane fire pit, and a Weber propane grill with tools. The gravel pad was long enough for our 40’ toy hauler and F450, with room to put down our rear patio. On arrival, the CG WiFi was unusable, but we got an email update that they were working on it. A later speed test showed 4.97 Mbps download—good enough for email and light browsing. Starlink worked but was slower than usual in this area despite a clear sky view. We got one bar on both Verizon and T-Mobile. This is a well-run KOA, with staff constantly mowing, cleaning, and maintaining the grounds. During our stay, several RV caravans came through—they had their own designated area and even buses for tours. The CG has spaces for all types of campers, from tents to big rigs. There’s a laundry facility, two fenced dog parks, swing benches by the river, and plenty of space to walk your dog. All in all, this is one of the best private CGs we’ve stayed at. If you need a great vet while in the area, we highly recommend Dr. Dawn Brown at North Pole Veterinary Hospital. They are an AAHA accredited clinic and we’ sure all the vets are great, but we definitely had a wonderful experience with Dr. Brown during our appointment with our two Braque's. The CG made an excellent base for exploring the Fairbanks area.

    The Springer RV Park & Campground

    Decent Campground

    We followed our GPS without issue to the campground near the Palmer golf course and municipal airport. The turn into the CG was a little tight but manageable with our 40’ toy hauler and F450. Check-in was quick and friendly, and we proceeded to pull-through site 24 with FHUs (50/30 AMP). When we made our reservations online, they asked for the exact length of both our RV and tow vehicle. We were definitely assigned one of their longer pull-throughs, as we could center our rig on the pad for the utilities—well-placed near the middle—while still dropping our patio and parking our truck on either side. The sites were very close together, with only a slender strip of grass and a picnic table between them. Water pressure was steady around 45 PSI. We got 2 bars on Verizon and 1 workable bar on T-Mobile. Because of the close spacing and perimeter trees, we placed Starlink on the roof and had a good connection, though many RVers set theirs on the ground. The campground WiFi worked well for browsing, with speeds of 8.69 Mbps. The laundry room was a standout: two washers and two dryers,$5 per load (pay at the office), and they provided soap and dryer sheets—easily the best laundry deal we’ve seen to date. The large overflow/tent camping area doubled as a dog run, with additional space to walk pups around the property. In our opinion, the back-in sites offered better spacing and mountain views. We also enjoyed watching small planes and helicopters come and go from the nearby airport. Overall, this campground met our needs for our five day stay.

    Wasilla Wonderful

    Wonderful place to stop off and catch your breath. Pavillion with fire pit, two grills si you dont have to unpack yours, and hammocks to laze away the day. Laundry and showers look like an old west town, too cute! Cabins for rent, playground for the kids and propane to restock. Open year round! Pet friendly and Wifi available. Super friendly staff.

    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.

    Ocean Shores RV Park

    nice area great views

    We had a good stay here in our 40' toy hauler. The power, water, and cable worked good. The rate shown is the total bill for a weekly rate of$321 with taxes and fees added. Some things to note about the park. The whole park slopes downward toward the beach bluff, however they did a reasonable job terracing each site so it is mostly level. As a result each site uphill is 12 to 18 inches higher. The center sites are back to back and they will park your RV even with the electric box at rear, so you may have challenges parking your towed vehicle or tow vehicle at your site depending on your total length, but we managed ok. The lane between rows is narrow. If you"pull through" to your site through an empty one, it is easy. If you have to back in it may be a challenge and you may need to get people to move tow vehicles. Smaller motorhomes and short trailers may not have any issues. We had to have one person move a vehicle to pull out when we left. In fact we left a day early in the afternoon because I wanted to be sure I could get out. If all the guests had been in the park with the tow vehicles or towed park, I could not have pulled out early in the morning without waking people up to move vehicles. We camped at Ocean Shores RV Park in a Fifth Wheel.

    Tok RV Village campground & Cabins

    Exceptional Customer Service

    This campground (CG) is a conveniently located CG right off the highway as you enter town, and it served as a great first stop for us after crossing into Alaska. We reserved 30 AMP water/electric sites for a four-night stay along with our travel partners. At check-in, we asked about full hookup(FHU) availability and were told that 50 AMP FHU sites were open. Our travel partners chose to upgrade, but we stayed with our original site as the FHU sites were a bit shorter and more closely spaced. A standout amenity is the free RV wash offered to guests staying at least two nights—we used it right away and appreciated the two pressure wash stations with buckets and soft brushes (soap not included). Our site,#87, was an end cap near the RV wash and glamping tents, and with the utility connections located near the center of the pad, we were able to easily position our 40’ fifth wheel to drop the rear patio and park our F-450 comfortably. Weather was mild during our visit, so 30 AMP service was sufficient, and water pressure held steady at around 40 PSI. Cellular service was mixed, with 1 bar LTE on Verizon and 3 bars LTE on T-Mobile, while our Starlink worked great despite the many trees, pulling in 153 Mbps download and 5.78 upload speeds. The CG offers cable TV, though we didn’t use it, and free Wi-Fi with an optional upgraded plan, though we were unable to connect and didn’t pursue it since Starlink met our needs. The CG has two clean laundry rooms—one at the office/gift shop and another at the shower house. When we chose to leave a day early, the friendly staff easily applied a credit toward our return trip back through Tok. Overall, Tok RV Village was a well-maintained, amenity-rich CG that worked well for our group, and we’d stay again.

    Eielson AFB Bear Lake

    Seen Better Days

    While staying in North Pole, AK, we decided to check out Eielson AFB Bear Lake FamCamp as we’d heard from other military RVers and on different forums that the campground was not worth staying at. On the major RV review sites the most recent review was from 2023. We normally don’t post reviews on a campground (CG) we didn’t stay at, but made an exception to help other military RVers out. As we entered the campground, we noticed that there were not many campers (there was what looked like a camp host, but no sign), and could immediately see why. The sites had non-potable per signs attached to the water spigot. We also noticed that many of the sites were grown over. There are pull-through sites on one row that could handle big rigs and then back-in sites of various lengths on another row. These sites are water and electric 50 and 30 AMP). However, on most sites you would need to cut brush and low-hanging limbs. There were signs on the bathhouse and laundry facility that the water was bad due to too much chlorine. They do have a dump station. There’s a lake at the end of the CG area, but the grass again was so high it was up through the picnic tables along the shoreline. Based on the CG’s condition and distance from the sights to see in the Fairbanks area, this in our opinion is not a good CG choice, especially with taller 5th wheels or Class A rigs. Fort Wainwright, which is closer to Fairbanks, has Glass Park RV Campground on post and they have sites that should fit bigger rigs according to the site sizes on their webpage.

    Anchorage N KOA Journey

    Great Family Park

    We booked a one night stay here as a trial run with our brand new travel trailer. Our daughter loved it so much that she begged to stay another night. Luck was on our side as there was a last minute cancellation and we were able to extend our stay 1 more night. The park had helpful and friendly staff, clean bathrooms, a nice laundry facility, and even a playground with a communal pavilion for people to gather round together. We would stay here again. There was a bit of road noise from the nearby highway but our family wasn't bothered at all by it as we are used to living on a base with lots of jet noise. Pet friendly and Wi-Fi is available and free! Propane, water fill, and dump station are available at this park.
