RV camping in Alaska

Name: Alaska
Address: Alaska
Rating: 4.5825

If you want to experience the vast Alaskan wilderness but prefer a few modern conveniences, RV camping is an excellent option. You don't necessarily need to own your own RV to go cruising around in Alaska, as plenty of companies offer camper vans and RVs for rent so that you can simply fly in and pick up your temporary home on wheels. Much of Alaska is public land, and boondocking is popular, so you're unlikely to find yourself in a situation where you have nowhere to park. Alaska state parks, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the US Forest Service, and the US Army Corps of Engineer all manage RV-friendly campgrounds, and there are plenty more private options, both in and around cities and in more remote locations. Just be aware that most campgrounds and RV parks in Alaska are only open in the warmer, brighter months of May through September.

Pinochle Trail is part of the historic Knik - Nelchina Trail, used by natives, trappers, miners, and hunters for centuries. It follows the natural route from the Matanuska Valley over the mountain range into Copper River country. Hicks was one of the early guides who had a cabin at Hicks Creek. Along with U.S. Army Lieutenant Joseph Castner, he helped blaze a trail northwest for Captain Glenn in 1898. Described in his journal as a "Tale of Hardship and Suffering," they ended up eating their mules and shoes before reaching their distant goal to the north. Today, we use these trails with relative ease compared to the early explorers, but the scenery and mud holes still remind us of what they endured.

This is a very lovely and well maintained campground. The host family was very welcoming and readily available for any questions. Having the creek right next to our site was very peaceful. The only thing that I struggled with was that the train horn was much louder than I thought it would be. Although the train only went past a couple times during the two night stay.

Weekend Trip to Creekside Campground

We had a wonderful stay at Creekside Campground. The setting is beautiful, peaceful, and incredibly family friendly. Our 16 month old absolutely loved exploring the nature paths. The gentle, shallow creek was perfect for little one to throw rocks into and have a laugh. It was also a huge plus that they had nice, convenient showers available, which made camping with a toddler so much easier. The campground is clean, well maintained, and has a lovely, quiet atmosphere; aside from the occasional train that comes through but the little one loved waiving to the passengers. Jeff and his family were incredibly kind and welcomed us with freshly baked cookies and even guided us to our spot. We cannot wait to come back!
