Very budget friendly place to rest your eyes for a few hours to refuel for all of the other adventures you’re going to be experiencing while in Valdez! There is a glacier park very close that you can go see, the proximity is amazing! The campground is a little outside of Valdez proper, but it’s a pretty short drive.

Showers and bathrooms on premises, which could be maintained a bit better, but you get exactly what you pay for. By all means not a bad place. They even let you drink beers here!

They have reservable RV sites for non military personnel. The one we reserved had power but no water at the site. We were there for 2 days and never saw a host. Sites are tucked away and have trees around them . There are 4 private stall showers that are shockingly basic but do have hot water, rarely had toilet paper and are not cleaned regularly.

Normally stay at a campsite or RV site here however, our guest are not outdoorsy people therefore booked a cabin. It was clean and the mattresses weren’t too bad, if you plan on being in the cabin, bring some chairs. There are several outlets and had two forms of heating.

Love the sites! They are very tucked away and private! It’s cute, it’s quiet, and the camp host is very kind. The first come first serve sites have no hook ups but the campgrounds offer water, dump stations, showers and restrooms. It’s also only six minutes from Glacier View Park. We will definitely come back here!
