Big Creek Yukon Goverment Park

$12 a night.and free firewood. About 30 miles west of Whitehorse and 20 miles from the junction of the Cassair Highway along the Alaska Highway. This is a great little campground. They did have a water pump, but no dump. We had a long pull thru site along the creek.

Haines Hitch Up-Haines AK


$31.28 with Good Sam. We were in one of their economy sites without cable or wifi and a back in. Very Very helpful owner. They book tours from here. We did take the fast ferry to Skagway from here and did the White Pass Yukon Railroad. They booked it and made all the reservations for us. They have the nicest laundry room we seen in 40 + years of rving. There are 2 state parks that offer camping in the area. We checked them out and they where for small rvs. There is another park in town along the water front but it has very close sites. If in Haines again we would stay here.

Road side rest-Tok AK

About 8 miles from Tok overlooking Midway lake. The fox came and visited. This is the second time a fox visited us at a roadside rest. The other was on the Top Of The World Highway. We had 2 other Rvers join us for the night. This was a paved rest area., with great views.

Sea Otter Valdez AK

$30 a night, electric only. A big gravel lot. There are pull thur sites here. At the waters edge they are all back ins. They have a water fill and a dump, and wifi worked fair to good at our site. The laundry room and shower area needed work. Poor 20 amp electric. The staff was not overly friendly at times. Cash only here. Great views out the back of our site and those along the waters edge. We did see sea otters and seals swimming right behind our rv.

The Homestead Palmer AK

Sites are narrow. Trees are close. $27.90 with Good Sam discount. Water and electric hook ups. There is a dump. This is one of the cleanest Rv Pk we stayed at. It is very well run. We do not use the bathrooms and showers, but checked theirs out, and they where the cleanest we ever saw. They have a laundry. The staff was very friendly and helpful. It is very busy. This is the first place we ran into a caravan. In talking to some of the people staying there, they said they were there to visit Anchorage because there are no nice parks in Anchorage, and they wanted hook ups. I don't know as we did not look for any. It is about 40 miles from Anchorage and if you need hook ups they may be right.

Eagle River-Chugach ST PK

About 12 miles from Anchorage AK. $15. a night, no hook ups. Paved roads and sites. We over looked the eagle river. There is a 4 day limit. You can reserve sites. A very clean and well run park. There is also a $5. charge to dump, even if camping there. We found this to be a good place to stay to visit Anchorage.

Homer Spit-Homer Ak

Homer city park, the one right passed the fishing hole. $15. a night, no hook ups. They have a water fill and a dump. Great views. A fishing town. They have a fish cleaning station in park. Self register, and they do come around and check each night about 10. A great little community theater in park, for I believe $8. a person. The sites on the water front where very close.

Kenai Princess Lodge & RV PK

This is a great little park in Cooper Landing AK. Full hook up sites with cable . You can use the Lodge for wifi and the hot tub and restaurant. They have wifi in the RV park but it I believe $5. a day. We would go site in the beautiful lobby of the Lodge and use the wifi there. $32.45 night. This park fills up almost every night and its about 2.5 miles off main road, so reservations or a call ahead of time would be wise. The time we were there was during the height of the Salmon run.

A super park, we were going to stay 2 nights and stayed a week it was so nice. They are water hand pumps but no dump. Great views on all sides. The tunnel to Whitter is about 3 miles from here.

Bird Creek Chugach ST PK

About 25 miles south of Anchorage on the Seward Hwy. $10 night no hook ups. Nice setting but the road in the campground is a narrow one way road. It had pot holes 3-4 feet across and 4 to 8 inches deep. There where many trees that were cut down just laying around. There also was bear activity every day. We were told by a worker in the park that it was do for a make over. I would not stay here again without checking it out to see if repairs where made.

Denali RV P & Motel

About 6 miles from Denali in Healy AK. $35.31 for full hookup, wifi and cable. Wifi was fair to good at our site. Our site was a little short, so we had to park either in site behind us(when no one there) or across the road by the motel. The staff was very very helpful. Next time we would stay in Denali itself.

Rivers Edge-Fairbanks AK

Sorry only one photo. We had no place to park our truck at our site. We had to park near the office. They were great in arranging tours. Good laundry. A very very busy campground. They have an rv wash, but we didn't use. If in Fairbanks again we would stay at Pioneer Park. Dry camping w/wifi for $12. night.
