Fox Run Campground & RV Park | Palmer, AK

The food is traditional and delicious.  A surprise gem in a vacant area. Will definitely be back.

Great place was there for about 2 months before winter and it was amazing!

I've heard sooo many good things about this place.
I've met part of the family that owns this place and I can say is, I can't wait to camp there. Very sweet people and just "REAL" Salt of the Earth type of folks.
Remember, this is a business and a luxury for our 1st world problems lol ...so let's be respectful of this place and show the owners the same respect we demand.

Stayed the night in our RV. Septic was on the wrong side, so treated it as a dump station. Location seemed nice. Nice lake, but couldn't stay long enough to make use of all the facilities including a Chinese restaurant.

Fox Run is conveniently located by the Glenn and Parks Hwy interchange near Matanuska Lake. Several sites overlook the lake, and there is access to the state park and trail systems. There's a small restaurant that has really good fried rice. A downside is that it's right on the highway and very noisy.

Above a busy highway, noise level was ok. We were parked in front row next to highway.
Spaces are tight but doable.

The sites are a little tight BUT the staff are really nice! Nice location right outside of town. They have a REALLY good Asian restaurant on site as well.

We enjoy staying here. Clean & well maintained, the owners are kind.
Very clean. Excellent food on site. Great views. 👍🏼

I'm not even sure where to start with this... RV park.
It definitely needs some cleaning up. Very crowded, people are on top of each other. You can't even tell where the sites are. A bit overpriced in my opinion for the state of the property.
It's only redeeming feature is the lake but you can only see it from like three spots and they charge you extra for them even though they are in an even more unkempt spot.
There's no ceilings in the bathroom, just insulation that's falling apart on top of you. It smells disgusting in there because they don't let people throw TOILET PAPER in the toilet and have a trash can completely full of it that has pee and poo all over it.
And then the unnecessary rudeness and hostility towards guest in the forms of signs, everywhere.
There's other RV parks in the area, I would recommend not wasting your money in this hostile environment.

A bit over priced for the location.  We were right on the freeway, looking out to it.  The owner showed me where the lake was, I believe there was only one or two spots that you could see it from an RV?  Unkempt spaces with high weeds everywhere.  Evidently you pay the same amount whether you have full hook ups or not.  We had water and electricity, I was told we are charged for the length of the space, not the services.  It was fine for one night, but I wouldn’t go here again.  Washer and dryer sets outside.🤔. Just not what we’re used to maybe, for $69 a night.

Cleanist campground in Alaska!  Been traveling around the state for a few weeks and this is a gem!  Great view, clean bathrooms and showers are spotless!  Definitely a spot to stop!

Very friendly, clean and neat. Our site had a wonderful view of the lake. Family and pet friendly.  Highly recommend!
