Alaskan RV Park

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Pull off I-10 at Exit 366 and Alaskan RV Park is right there, a gravel-and-dirt lot with full hookups sitting against a mountain backdrop in Bowie, Arizona. Sites are spacious pull-throughs, level enough for rigs up to 50 feet, and the park accepts pets with no breed restrictions. Rates run $20 to $25 per night for full hookups depending on when you visit, with electric-only sites available at a lower rate. Cash is the standard payment method, and check-in works by phone call. If no one answers, reviewers say to pick a spot and staff will find you.

Highway noise is a consistent trade-off here. Most campers report it fades into the background, but light sleepers should know the interstate is close. Cell service is reliable, with Verizon noted specifically, and the WiFi listed on the amenities may be supplemental at best. William J. notes that "showers were clean with good pressure and plenty of hot water," and laundry is available on site at reasonable rates. The crowd tends toward full-timers and winter travelers, but the atmosphere reviewers describe is low-key and sociable.

The park has a history tied to the Sideman Jamboree, a country music event once held on the grounds, which accounts for the stage and the music-oriented character a few reviewers mention. It also serves as a practical base for day trips to Fort Bowie National Historic Site, and the area around BLM Dispersed off Apache Pass Road near Bowie offers free dispersed camping for those who want to extend their stay without hookups. For a broader look at camping near Bowie, options are limited, which makes this park a useful stop on the I-10 corridor. Winter months draw the most traffic, so arriving early or calling ahead is worth the effort.

Many campers appreciated the spacious sites, friendly staff, and exceptional value at $10-20 per night. Highway noise is present but most found it manageable, with excellent facilities and pet-friendly policies.

Rustic, Inexpensive Full hookup RV park

Spent 3 nights with water and electricity for $20 a night.  Check in process involves a phone call.  If the very friendly lady doesn't answer just find a spot and she'll catch up to you. I used this as a base camp while exploring Fort Bowie.  If you have limited mobility and want to see the fort there is a way to do it.  If you have a handicap placard follow the road to the admin area.  At a locked gate call the provided phone number and they will open the gate and give directions to a cement pad and a ramp taking you to the visitor center.  Very easy and pleasant experience.

Friendly folks. A bit rough around the edges.

Ok. It's Bowie Az. Now $25 a night cash. Full hookups and a laundry that's affordable. Showers were clean with good pressure and plenty of hot water. Lots of full timers and winter campers. But everyone was friendly and kept to themselves. Highway noise was barely noticeable. Good for a night or couple of days to explore the area. Safe travels.

One night

Thought about staying on BLM Land but temp was predicted for 28. Discovered this little gem for 20.00 with electric! Such a friendly group of people. I considered I-10 as my “white noise “ and did not bother me. Good Verizon signal and clean restroom. Pet Friendly. Quail crossing in the campground!

Sweet little park

We really liked this simple little RV park. Friendly and has character, even though it's like many other RV parks with the large gravel lot.   Nice backdrop of the mountains.  We liked the music vibe of the place, and that it is such a laid back and welcoming place.

Right off highway 10 so you get the road noise. Park has large gravel/dirt sites with hook ups. 

Rate is $20/night with laundry, showers and bathrooms. 

Pet friendly. Staff friendly as well.
