Great campground! It wasn’t very crowded when we were there as the reds had already run through the Klutina there. So we had a peaceful, relaxing time at the campground. We were there 8/3-8/7. We booked full hook-up but there was no way we were going to fit with all three slides in the full hook-up up site, water, electric and septic. These sites aren’t for big rigs, at least ours wasn’t. We have a 35’ fifth wheel with three slides. The camp-host came out for about ten minutes offering a few ways to back in, then disappeared. After 45 very frustrating minutes of trying to make it work, a wonderful, frequent guest, Mary, and David in the office, found us the perfect pull through spot with water and electricity. Mary even walked us down to show us the spot. It was so wonderful we stayed 4 nights instead of one. There’s WiFi but you have to be closer to the office, which isn’t a far walk. You can fish right there, the owners are fantastic and so sweet. The showers are what you’d expect from a finishing campground, it felt great to take a hot shower though. The laundry is $5 to wash and $5 to dry. They will keep fish in the freezer for you for a small price. Most of the spots I saw were great. Super friendly people there and the location doesn’t get any better. We also had our two dogs with us who loved to go for walks around the campground and by the river. The campground was very clean as well and well maintained.

This place is *spotless* - I didn’t see any micro trash. Bathrooms are sparkling. Shower is probably the cleanest camp shower I’ve ever seen (and the water is HOT, with fresh towels provided daily). My site has some mild road noise during the day but it was not bothersome at night at all. Firewood is inexpensive and easy to get from the shed. Host is very communicative. Definitely enjoyed my stay here.

1 night at Stump Creek B&B
Stump Creek is a great property, I'd highly recommend it! We stayed in the Prospector Tent which was spacious and clean. The hosts were super nice and accommodating and there was even a breakfast included with our stay which was an amazing little touch.

Secret gem that I wish only I knew!!
We stayed at this RV parking for the 4th of July weekend. We didn’t come with much expectation but it was actually one of our favorite camping trips ever!! Ronald was so chill and informative. There were not too many other RVs or cars around our camper so we used large area more freely without worried about bothering neighborhood. We were able to get some fish from river too!! We can’t wait to come back 😭
P.s.
- The bar can be little loud at night but we had a sound machine for kids in the camper so it wasn’t too bothersome
- We used a dump station outside of the camp site (we couldn’t find one in the site)

We had an incredible time at the campground! At king for a day you feel like you are apart of the community at a family owned and operated location. The ladies working the front desk in the office were very sweet and helpful. As well as the greeting committee, dogs Cooper and Lana. We were able to rent muck books to wade out into the river for fishing and got advise on how to travel up to the Kennicot Mill Town in Wrangell St Elias. They have fishing lessons available as well as seasonal charters for king salmon. Eagles awaited all around us for folks to pull fish out of the river. It was truly spectacular. Campsite was equip with everything we needed and we were also provided with the necessary extensions for our rv to have power. Outhouses were outhouses but clean and well stocked. Would love to come back in the future!

Stump Creek was a great little find. Joe and Megan were so welcoming, stopping by to say hello and chat. The bathroom and shower areas were pristine, the view was amazing, and this is a great place to stay when in Alaska. It's just over an hour to Wrangell-St. Elias NP and 30 minutes from Lake Louise. Thanks for the great stay!

I loved tent camping in Joe's land because it was all really clean and it has showers and bathrooms. He provide you with clean towels and shampoo and body bath.

Tent
This new site is great!!!! It’s a little more tucked away. The fire ring area was separate from the tent space and the picnic table was nicely placed. I’d also like to mention the smaller gravel for comfort on the tent pad.
Stump Creek is getting bigger and better all the time. The host is constantly making improvements and the hospitality is unmatched.

1 night at Stump Creek B&B
Joe and Megan were the best hosts you can ask for. Their communication and interactions were exactly what first timers needed. The tent was warmed when arrived. They brought bfast in the morning which was delish especially the fruit. The location was secluded and had an enjoyable trail walk. They assisted with a request which made the experience even better. We would def come back. The outhouse was clean too!! Thanks for a memorable experience.
