Stayed here for a few nights 2 years ago and it was amazing. Best pancakes Ive ever had and I still think about them. Staff is all family/close knit and just laid back with great service. Bathrooms were good, the grounds were quiet when it needed to be and located conviently.

This park is outstanding! The owners are so friendly, facilities lovely and clean, a warm cookie on arrival!! There a petrol station and supermarket opposite and a restaurant just through the trees. We loved it so much we drove out of our way to come back through. Will definitely stay again

My family and I rolled into town with a broken leaf spring on our camper and was welcomed by their 5 star staff! Mike and Cindy, the owners, gave us recommendations on who to reach out to help us fix it or where to find parts. Due to the holiday weekend a lot places were not available so they allowed us to fix our camper in our camp site. Mike was so kind!He offered to help, giving up his time, and even allowed me to borrow some of his tools. We were able to get everything squared away and back on the road the next day. The campground is really nice too and one of the best ones we stayed at in all of Alaska. Very clean grounds, quiet and peaceful, level sites, and amenities. Glad we were able to spend some time here and get to know these great people!

This was our first stop in Alaska and we loved it. The first thing when I went to check in was they had warm chocolate chip cookies for you! The staff is amazing. The bathrooms are spotless.

The staff is amazing. The bathrooms are spotless. It was very quiet and we enjoyed our stay. Our site was a little uneven on the sides due to a slight slope so it took some juggling to get us positioned. We love that they have an unlimited RV wash, for a reasonable fee. After the drive to get there, we were a dirty trailer and truck. We will be staying here as our last stop before heading across the border on the way home. We are looking forward to staying here again. Thank you for a wonderful visit.

Love this campground, had we known about it sooner we would have stayed here on our way to Anchorage, we made the mistake of staying at another camp and it was fun but not as clean and nice as this. Thank you. I will tell any and all who travel to Alaska to stay at the Tok RV village on the right across from 3 bears. They even have a working car wash you can use when you stay. Its just a super nic...
