There are two RV sites on this 1.5-acre property, separated by a vegetation barrier and a circular driveway for added privacy. Both sites are accessed via a large, RV-friendly half-circle driveway. The neighborhood is also adjacent to a 14-mile paved bike path and offers easy access to hiking trails leading to Fish Lake.
This is a family-friendly property. No parties, please.
To access the Fish Lake Trailhead, you can walk to the end of Dragonfly Hollow and cross the grassy knoll visible from the property. If you have a canoe, you can also drive to the Fish Lake Trailhead parking lot and carry your canoe approximately 0.7 miles along the canoe portage trail to Fish Lake.

We loved our stay. The campground is well laid out, very well maintained and obvious care has been taken to landscape.
We appreciated the pull through site features towing a trailer.
The first night we took a serene paddle with a rowboat on the lake at sunset. It was wonderful. All provided with no extra charge. 5 stars highly recommend!

We had a wonderful stay at Talkeetna Lake Retreat! The property was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and it had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend. The kayaks were fantastic bonus and made our time on the lake even more enjoyable. We especially appreciated all the thoughtful amenities and little touches throughout the property that made us feel welcome and right at home. The peaceful setting, beautiful views, and attention to detail made for a truly memorable stay. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway in the Talkeetna area!

The property is beautiful! It's convenient location and attention to detail makes this place a great stay. Jessica is super kind and has amazing attention to detail with the decor, beauty, and great flow of the property she designed for guests! We were able to take our dog there with lots of space to enjoy walks in a gorgeous woods setting right on the lake! The amenities are off the charts, the sites are spacious and private and we really enjoyed our short stay! We checked in late and left early and it was easy to use the app. She even has a la carte options like a propane fireplace, sauna, hot tub and kayaks available to all guests....absolutely incredible, highly recommend and we will stay again!

Beautiful campground! Large lots with picnic tables with umbrella, large community fire pit, super clean restrooms & shower areas. We did a hot tub and a sauna add on - both were great, but I would especially recommend the hot tub! We also enjoyed kayaking on the lake! Everything was perfectly thought out and the host was so friendly and helpful.. We would definitely rent here again.

We had such a fantastic time here! The hot tub and sauna, along with the outdoor showers, were so nice after traveling. The campground is well laid out and felt safe, and the spots were relatively private. We really wish we had had time to take advantage of the kayaks at the lake! It was very picturesque though.
I also really appreciated the well stocked common area with some items for sale. Jessica and her family were also super nice and helpful! They had great recommendations.

We camped during the late summer in our sprinter van. They don’t have electric yet but they will very soon. It’s a lovely place tucked away but close enough to town. They have truly put love, blood sweat and tears into making this a lovely place to stay. Jessica is a charming host! They have some beautiful and even hilly hiking trails right around the place that could keep you busy for a while. The kayaks are fun paddle to around the lake. The hot tub was such a lovely bonus addition. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

We had such a great time camping. The hot tub, ax throwing, lake views were well worth the drive. We can’t wait to plan a longer trip next year so we can get use of the kayaks!

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at this campground with our RV. We felt safe and enjoyed plenty of privacy. Although it’s a newer campground and not all amenities (power/water) were yet available, we still had a fantastic time kayaking on the lake and truly appreciated the warm hospitality of our host.

The RV sites were spacious, unlike most private RV camps in Alaska, which is a very nice thing. They include a picnic table with umbrella. In the near future there will be 50/30/20 amp service, also unusual for a Hipcamp. An outhouse and outdoor shower are nearby, along with a communal fire pit with comfy chairs surrounding it. A short walk away is the clubhouse with flush toilet and shower. All kinds of reasonably priced items (smores, coffee, coffee mugs, ball caps, etc.) are for sale in the clubhouse. For an additional fee, time in a sauna or a hot tub is available. The property is a adjacent to a small lake, and the camp includes free use of a rowboat, canoe or kayaks to paddle around the lake. All in all quite a beautiful place. There may be some road noise, but it didn't bother us.
