We boondocked with two class B RVs to practice/learn how to use pumps, furnaces, stoves, water etc without convenience connections. The entire area was clean, wonderful woodlands, clear trails to Matsu river and bridge. Other campers, hikers, dog walkers were friendly. Did not see any dog poop on the trails. The camp host and other RVrs helped show us newbies how to empty waste water tanks. We will definitely plan to return in the summer and early fall with the other members of the caravan. Looking forward to enjoying the fire pits, riding bikes around the site, and hiking. Highly recommended this site.

Great location, friendly staff. Restrooms could have been better maintained. Great stay though.

Great folks working here, not cheap but reasonably priced for camping in a larger town with or without electric. Palmer is a very nice area with plenty of restaurants and things to do and it's close to Wasilla where even more shopping and services are located. Only downside is that the shower/flush toilets are closed from 10pm - 8am, although pit toilets are located a bit further away from the electric sites.
