Such a wonderful park. Idea spot to walk to town for dinner out. We saw bears, eagles, owls and whales. The park has the best laundry room in Alaska. I spent 4 months traveling around Alaska beautiful state.

We stayed here for several nights with our Newmar caravan. There was another caravan there also, so the RV Park was busy. But it is immaculately maintained and the management/owners were very responsive to our needs. We did some accidental damage in/out of two of the spots and the campground worked to get the sites back up and operating. Our team felt horrible, but the owner simply stated it happens, they dealt with it and we all moved on. What a refreshing approach with so many awful issues out there nowadays. This campground is not right on the water, but looks to much better and the grass at each site was amazing. We used this campground to explore Haines, travel to Juneau and Skagway. Well worth it and the corner spots made for great social gathering. Our hats are off to this team, we hope to visit with more friends very soon!

This RV site is impeccable. The care taken with the facility is admirable. Showers are very clean and free. All the grounds show pride of ownership. A great stop on our Alaskan/Yukon adventure

This is the best rv park. Some have nice sites, some have clean restrooms and laundry. This park has it all. The sites are pretty level and grassy. The staff was wonderful, and you could tell how much pride they take in their business.

A lovely stay in a charming Alaskan town We had a really pleasant experience at this campground during our time in Haines. While the staff initially seemed a bit rigid in handling our request, the owners quickly stepped in and took care of everything with great kindness and professionalism. From extra Wi-Fi access to helping us find a more suitable spot, they made sure we felt welcome and well looked after. Thanks to their personal attention, everything was resolved smoothly and made us feel right at home. Haines itself is an absolute gem – full of natural beauty and friendly people. We’d gladly come back anytime!
