Campgrounds In Alaska … Full Service RV Parks To Primitive Tent Camping Sites Campgrounds in Alaska have one thing in common – spectacular views.

Campgrounds in Alaska include state and national parks, city campgrounds, and private RV parks. Many offer primitive camping. Some have full hookups including water, sewer, electric, cable TV, on-site telephone connections, and wi-fi Internet connections.

We’ve traveled over much of the USA and found that some of the best campgrounds are in Alaska. SantaLand RV Park in North Pole, AK, gets my vote for the cleanest campground. Eagles Rest RV Park in Valdez, AK, is the friendliest.

Some of the best deals are the city campgrounds. Both Homer and Seward have several campgrounds. Some are developed RV sites with hookups. Some are boondocking RV sites. They also have tent camping areas. Both Homer and Seward have dump stations.

Homer has private and city campgrounds on the Spit. You park on the water’s edge. The view is spectacular. The campsites are large. It is prime fishing. Tourist shops and fishing charter offices line both sides of the street.

Campground rates range from free to very expensive. Price is not an indicator of services, view, location, site size, or staff friendliness. The worst campground we’ve stayed at in Alaska (perhaps the worst anywhere) was also the most expensive.

We have never found it necessary to have campground reservations in Alaska. However, if you come during peak season – July and August – you may feel better calling ahead to reserve your space.

RV parking is easy to find. You don’t always need to stay in campgrounds. Fred Meyer allows overnight RV parking. There are many roadside pull offs for overnight parking.

Fairbanks was recently in the news for prohibiting overnight RV parking in places other than designated campgrounds.
