You are lucky if you find yourself at the small, tidy, owner-operated Chena RV. The sites are roomy; the services working perfectly, including internet; and the owners, who live on site, are very hospitable and generous, going out of their way to make sure guests are happy. The location is great--quiet, close to grocery, within walking distance of everything. We stayed five nights. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

Small campground located a little farther away from the hustle and bustle of the areas near the harbor, but close enough to walk to that area, playgrounds, neighborhoods, museums, grocery stores and food trucks. Full hookups, very friendly owners who gave us some great tips on things to do in town while we were there. Very quiet - sandwiched between two churches that didn’t have any activity during our time there.

Wonderful camp site with great mountain views.! Large quiet sites, full hookups, great water and owners are very nice! They even walked our pups while we were on the LuLu Belle! Walking distance to town, dog park, breweries, and restaurants. Would definitely stay here again!

Probably the biggest campsites in Valdez. Full hook ups, wifi and friendly hosts. The location is centrally located, making it easy to walk anywhere we wanted to go. Sites include a picnic table, but no fire rings. Sandwiched between a church and a dog park, it was very quiet, even for being full on a holiday weekend. Valdez itself is very pedestrian, bike and leashed dog friendly.
