Great office staff, nice pull through for our 36’ fifth-wheel. Some sites have Electric is 50 amp hook up. Communal Water fill up shed for fresh water fill up. You must request sites with septic hook up or electric and pay more, understandably. Porti-potty available.

Large spacious campsites. Very nice campground right next to the creek. They even have little benches down by the creek.

3.5 stars. Pros: loved being next to the creek, fun spot for kids to play in the water, good fishing, clean portapotties, overall well-maintained, great loop for kids biking or walks, electric hookups. Cons: right off the highway (lots of traffic and train noise). Smaller sites, somewhat close together. Mosquitos were pretty bad.

Our planned stop at Three Bears Trapper Creek Inn & RV Park was a bust—their large pull-throughs were closed due to sewer issues—but they recommended Montana Creek Campground about 20 miles south. We called, and they told us to come on in. Located just off the Parks Highway/AK-3, the friendly campground manager gave us a map of the dry-camping sites that were available, including a few in the tent section that could handle our 40’ fifth wheel and told us to pick a spot. We walked the grounds and chose back-in site 13 in the tent area, which was more than long enough for our rig and F450—we even got to put the back patio down. We needed to top off our water tank, but the spigot had weak pressure, so the fill took a while. Afterward, we backed up in the large parking lot and headed to our site. We had 2 bars LTE on Verizon and 1 bar roaming on T-Mobile. The site had a picnic table, fire pit, and a nice stand-up grill. The campsites on the north side have 30 AMP but no water. Toward the back of the campground are more wooded pull-through and back-in dry-camping sites—some well spaced with privacy from shrubbery—but this area isn’t tall-rig friendly. The campground filled up over the weekend with locals from the Anchorage area. The same office also registers campers for the Montana Creek Recreation Site across the street, which is essentially a back-in parking lot for smaller rigs. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay—especially with the chance to get in some fly fishing.

We had a great time and all our neighbors were polite and friendly. The only reason I give it a 4 is because of the no dumping and no water at the site. We I have paid the same fee for a full hook up site in most places and this is electric only. The sites are very close together. There isnt any free dump sites and the "dump" site 2 miles up the road is a odd old ran family buisness we called to ask if they were open to dump they Said yes and no one was insight when we arrived so we just drove back to Houston to dump for 15.00. Honestly next time I think we will just go for free to the sustina river to boondock. Although having a reservation during busy holidays is a plus. If you choose to boondock you may need to fill up water in talkeetna or houston. I don't think any if the convenience stores in the area have potable water. Overall we had a great time!!! Its ATV friendly which is nice can't ride in the campsite but ALOT of places to ride around the area.

Really nice camp ground. Very well keep. We were there at the end of the season so very quiet, even though they are close to Park Hwy. Beautiful creek with trout and salmon in it. There is a state park right across the road which has better fishing opportunities. The owners were very helpful although we never saw them.

This is a privately owned campground across the highway from the Montana Creek State Recreation Area. It is situated by the creek and there is a passageway under the highway to safely access the recreation area. We had 30 amp service. Campsites in the electric service area were very close together and had no privacy. They were close to the road, with road noise and current road construction. Sites without electricity were in a much more private, quiet area. The campground is close to a grocery store (rural, $$) and about 15 minutes from Talkeetna.

Tho there are only a handful of sites with electricity none have water or waist dumps. Regardless of that the campground is really a nice campground with increasing secluded sites the farther back you go. The campground does have port a johns that are clean. It is located conveniently 2mi. from an IGA grocery and a short easy drive to the beautiful town of Talkeetna. In the other direction you have a restaurant w/bar about 6-10 mi. south that’s good for lunch or dinner. Management is nice but only there a few hours per day with a little store on site with some essential supplies. In short our group of 4 couples liked it.

First, the campground is great, the feel is great, its quiet and clean and the layout is pretty good. I would highly recommend. Be aware the forest area is not for the faint of heart if you have a 28+ ft trailer. Corners are really tight and roads are really narrow aside from the outer loops. You will scratch your trailer because the shrubbery is not trimmed back on the corners of the road or entrances to the campsites. Also the entrances to the sites are really tight in the forest because of the brush. I would have given it 5 star if they had trimmed it up some.

While the location is great, the camping sites are just too close together. There are a few pull through sites that have some privacy, but people can still see over the brush and into your camp site taking away that private feeling. The quiet hours are not enforced, at least while we were there. It was loud (generators and people with loud music) up until 12am on the night of June 21st morning of the 22nd. The construction that is going on ruins the feel of the campsite as well, trying to enjoy a fire with the loud construction isn't too bad, but I could do without the construction noise. No warning or notice was shown on the website that I saw for the construction. Walking the camp site is nice, right on the creek, and that portion of the area is very nice. I probably won’t stay there again due to the noise, and lack of privacy in campsites.

This campground is located right on the creek! The office has an extremely well-stocked store for all your basic camping & fishing needs. We had a blast being able to walk down the path to fish for silver salmon!

Andrew Baalerud

Great spot! Employees at the shop were super friendly. My 5 y/o had a blast painting rocks and catching 🐟🐟🐟

Marc Griffin

Very good people no see store and perfect location

David Ortwein

Great place to pick up supplies that you forgot or lost while salmon fishing. The store is small but packed full of fishing equipment. The campground was nice as well. Remote tree lined spots.
