Big Bear RV Park

Lots are spacious, the managers have been good to work with. My only issue is they don't allow you to use the restrooms and showers in the winter time.

This is one of the nicest KOAs I have camped at. I read some really negative reviews of this place before it became a KOA, but clearly whoever purchased it for the KOA franchise has made some very nice improvements. We camped on site 26. The electric pedestal was in good working order. The bathrooms were recently tastefully updated and the showers were clean. The laundry room was also clean and the staff was attentive to an issue with one washing machine. The staff were friendly and very helpful. They offer a dump station and propane as well as a large covered pavilion (which allows campers to be outside but under cover on the many rainy days Alaska has).The location is near the highway and was a bit noisy, but the flip side of location is that it is very convenient to Palmer and Wasilla and is great for folks who want to get on the road to another destination without driving through a lot of traffic lights in town. It is also very near a hospital, should an emergent situation arise. I highly recommend this KOA for upholding the standards we expect in a KOA.

Stayed for 3 weeks and would definitely stay there again. The park is very nicely maintained. The showers, bathrooms, and laundry are very clean!! Lots of grass for the fur babies & a nice play area for the kiddos. The Koa workers are always out working and making improvements . Thanks , Ginger, James & Allison and the lady that drives the tractor like she stole it!! ( sorry! Didn’t get her name but she did a great job ) for making our stay pleasant!!!

We are from Mississippi and really enjoyed our stay here. Bathrooms, showers and laundry rooms are clean and well maintained. Owner and employees are very helpful and just happy people 😊The view of the mountains is amazing! Stay here!

We stayed there for the winter 2023 before leaving to go to the lower 48. Their website stated 700 for the month plus electricity. When we went to reserve our spot they raised it to 950 a month not including electric. Fine we dealt with it. We were not allowed to use the showers since we had water hookup. But the maintenance person and whom ever visited was allowed to. The laundry facility stated it was closed for cleaning 12-2 daily . The laundry room garbage was always over flowing at that time there was only 5 campers there. They were allowing people from outside the park to do laundry there. If it snowed nothing was plowed for a couple days and then you had to re dig yourself out because they would plow you back in. Also I always had to shovel out the entrance door just to do laundry. They would never answer the phone and they definitely do not have 24 hour maintenance. The dryers some how turned a lot of clothes black speckled grease all over so very frustrating. This was the worst experience for my family. Also NO military discount at all . Hopefully my review was helpful I was informed by another person camping for the winter this was his worst experience. O they also have a $50 clean up fee for pet owners but there was so much dog poop all over from the maintenance guys dog who freely went everywhere. We also got to witness them chasing a mother moose and her baby out of the park that were eating and then started throwing things at them. Which is highly against the law. Stayers beware just because it says KOA does not mean it is clean.

THE Best campground in Alaska! Incredibly clean and well set up. Breezy check in and great signage. A playground, laundry room and even a gazebo. Whoever does the landscaping takes a lot of pride in their work and it shows. We had one brief interaction with a staff, we asked where the dumpster was. Instead of saying, you've walked by it 4x, driven by it 6x, and it has a big sign that say dumpster (lol) he kindly showed us where it was.

Best place ever, clean showers, a nice central gazebo to grill under with a complimentary grill already there to use, and easy check in with the phone, everything is emailed to you and they don't hassle you, it was a great experience. They went out of their way to keep our family together with spots next to each other. 10 stars

Terrific! Clean showers, toilets, laundry, propane on site, dump station, playground, gazebo, and wood if needed. They have done a fantastic job with this place and friendly all around. 100 out of 10 would recommend this to anyone.

We stayed here when we moved to Alaska and were looking for housing. We stayed here for almost three months. We had full hook ups in a 27 foot RV. They didn’t open the bathhouse or laundry until May 1st. They did have some hot water issues but Rose addressed it quickly. Laundry facilities are adequate. They were great from the moment I called them to inquire if they were open in April and if they were available for long term lodging. They have a lot of people that long term rent for a variety of reasons. They also have storage available which is helpful. Rose takes awesome care of the park and makes sure the rules are followed which keeps the place nice.

This should not qualify as a campground. There are 6 tent sites and the one we were "assigned" was in the middle of the loop right across from the port-a-potty. We had no space whatsoever for our 6 person tent and the middle section was overgrown. We ended up not staying because there was no space for tent camping. We ended up going to Matanuska River Park Campground. If you are going for RV camping it will be fine, but DO NOT use for tent camping. Not worth the $30.
