A for-profit trailer park situated on about 2 acres of land with 73 side by side spots. If you dont mind hearing your neighbor snore through the night, then this trailer park wont bother you. It has the added benefit of being able to ask your neighbor for a cup of sugar without ever leaving your own RV! Dump station next to checkin, potable water (maybe) comes from the outhouse station in the back of the lot. Tent camping is in the bushes between the parking lot and the church next door.

Careful on entry and exit to not drop you RV in the large drainage ditch.

Located over a mile back from the highway, traffic noise was rare. You could hear the occasional train horn off in the distance. We were going to boondock but wanted power because of the cool, drizzly weather. 30 Amp, electric only with Good Sam discount was about $29 including taxes.

While the park is compact, all of the pull-throughs (the vast majority of the park) are set up on an angle so things weren't anywhere near as tight as I'd anticipated based on the prior review. While it's 30 miles away, this facility gets lots of overflow traffic from the National Park while others chose to park their big rigs here and drive in. This one gets 4 stars from me. If you're looking for Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort, it's not, but the bears and other wildlife are real around here. As Alaska RV parks go, this one is above average.

In spite of what another reviewer said, the potable water comes from a PUMP HOUSE, not an outhouse! It's some of the best tasting water we've found anywhere in Alaska including large municipal systems.

I would absolutely stay here again! Basic but comfortable and priced right. Laundry, showers, and restrooms were clean. Unlike so many places along the Parks Highway, I had EXCELLENT connectivity on my Mobley.

This is a cleared gravel park with three rows of spaces close together. You are going to a trailer park. However, the owners were very friendly, the place is clean, the water is good and due to the covid pandemic there were only six of us camping there. You have water and electricity at each site and there is a dump station if/when you want to dump. It is convenient if you want to go into Denali Park (30 miles north) or if you want to go up the Denali Highway which is very close.

Same campground but new owners are very friendly. Sites are spacious. Close to the park.Seems a little pricey compared to the past posts but it’s summer in Alaska!

I don't understand why some people complain about this RV park, as it is better than 85% of the other Alaska RV Parks. Yes, it's a gravel lot, but almost all Alaska RV parks are. The spaces are adequately spaced, and no, you cannot hear your neighbor snore (unless you're creepily snooping!). Bathrooms and laundry are clean, and the new owners (since 2021) are SUPER friendly and willing to help on any reasonable request. Verizon is 4 bars. I definitely recommend this as an alternative to Riley Creek in Denali Park, which is impossible to make reservation in ...

The park served our need for the night but we won't return. The check in process was easy and campground is clean. Wifi is random at best. We were not able to connect. Verizon is really good so everything worked out. There are a few permanent residents. Our reservation was Electric Only 30-Amp Pull Thru.

This was a convenient stop for us to spend a few days. The whole campground is more large rocks than gravel. We had a pleasant easy check with really nice owners. Site 40 was at the end and quiet which is great for us. Sites are level and not as tight as some are. We had electric only. Verizon decent as their internet wasn't. Small but walkable cg but you can walk down to Jack river. Denali is doable from this location and not so crowded here.

Rough rock surface (not gravel) with short, tight pull thru spaces. A pickup with a trailer over 20’ will have to unhitch. Unprotected plastic water lines strung on the ground that you must not park your tires on. Very few picnic tables, no fire pits (good, there’s no place to put them). Locked and guarded dump station right by the office with restricted hours. Not at all convenient for departures at 11:00 checkout if multiple vehicles are in line. Forget the WiFi. Hours more restricted than normal, with checkin not before 1500, checkout by 11:00. Laundry $4.00 wash $2.00 dry, with restricted hours. I would not stay here again.
