A disappointing campsite. 2 stars go for the hot shower, which was powerful and relatively clean - $1 gets you around 8-10 min. Otherwise the campsite was a big disappointment, with tents basically pitched on the verge of the roadside on a residential street. No picnic tables, no running water nearby - clearly rundown. $10 + $3.50 booking fee, which I had to do myself in the booking office. Little else to say other than I'm glad I'm just here for 1 night

We paid $50 for 1 night. It is a little bit away from downtown and the harbor, which is nice. The low rating is due to the bathrooms. We would not take a shower in them. You have to pay for the shower but they were very dirty. The toilets were better than a vault port-a-potty but they were out of soap and still pretty dirty. The bathrooms are not well maintained. Didn't like how open the RV park was and without trees, but thankful for relatively flat pull thru spots, a laundromat onsite and easy online after hours check-in options. For $50, I would have expected cleaner bathrooms and showers.

Sadly lacking maintenance, too many rules, not dog friendly. Price is ok. Good location. We're gravel pit campers, expected a little better for a paid site.

Not good for RVs. No water or sewers at the sites. No dog park and the hostess said that dogs had to be walked on the street, not in the park. Laundry room was a mess and the coin-operated showers were, well, disgusting. Maintenance of the park was even worse. There were even electric lines lying on the ground with both ends buried. I’ve never given a park a single star, but this one earned it! I’ve never given a single a single

We used the laundromat here and it was rough. Most the machines are broken. It only takes quarters and the change machine was broken the 3 times we went in. Not a lot of great laundry options in skagway but your gambling with this one.
