Near Wrangell-St. Elias National Park

Within a 30-minute drive from the Wrangell-St. Elias Visitor Center.

This is a 10-acre property along the edge of the north bank of the Klutina River--a major king salmon-fishing stream that flows into the famous Copper River just one half mile downriver. That part of the property used for camping along the river is 3 acres. This is a SEASONAL location: Memorial Weekend through Labor Day Weekend with NEW LOWER prices. At this time only the riverside sites (south side of the river dike that one drives across) are available for camping or RV parking. We have no power or other hook-ups on the riverside except that water is available on site through a series of new DEC-approved pipe and spigets, along with more fire pits and more picnic tables. Showers are extra @ $5.00 a person; Laundry tokens: $3.00 per washer load or 40 minute dryer load. Bar on site. Food service coming later THIS 2024 season. WIFI is only on the north side of the dike near any of the overnight rooms or the bar. We recommend no RVs to exceed 28 feet on the river side of the dike. Very private sites and spread out--far more so than other nearby locations. The public restroom is on the north side of the dike. AND we have several budget rooms available on the north side of the dike as well. In 2024, these go for about $100/night. These all have Dish Net, WIFI, and coffee in the rooms. This property is undergoing development. There is still a fire pit on the river side, as we have considerable brush to burn (not during the camping season, but brush is typically piled on the site about the time we open). Just to the east, across the Copper River, is the 12 million acre Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. Our property is conveniently located in driving time almost exactly halfway between Anchorage and McCarthy-Kennecott. It is about 3 1/2 hours in either direction. At the Klutina you can charter a sight-seeing river boat or you can white-water raft from a point several miles up a historic trail that follows the river to its source--Klutina Lake and Klutina Glacier. You can obtain a visitors' license and fish here for salmon. You can also hike along the dike or numerous trails in the area.

RS3: Park & Camp

Loved RV camping at seaside farm. Stunning location. Beautiful trails and wonderful people. Horses, chickens and very few people.

Gravel pad site

Crowded, loud, and trashy

Don’t recommend. I Reserved and Paid for a premium campsite before arriving. They sold my campsite to another person and gave me a shitty site without any money back. The site had trash in the fire ring, was loud at night and in a bar parking lot next to a tied up dog. Should have just stayed on the side of the road.

Uncle Nic's RV Parking

Unique authentic Alaskan Camp

We spent two nights at Uncle Nicolai’s campground and Bar. Great authentic old-Alaskan experience, owner Ron Simpson was a wealth of information and a descendent of Chief Nicolas, the Northern Athabascan chief who led the prospectors to copper in the late 1800’s. Great bar, filled with history, three fully operational jukeboxes with three different genres of music, Alaska Railroad G gauge model railroad running overhead, good AK draft with many friendly locals.

Well we can start with the owner being an asshole about the simplest questions. Sorry never been to your campground so yes I will have questions. The whole railroad attraction wasn’t even running so you might as well take that off the website
