Mountain View RV Park
Overview
Mountain View RV Park offers a scenic and reliable home base for travelers exploring the heart of the Matanuska-Susitna Valley. Known for its tidy grounds and spectacular panoramic mountain vistas, the park provides a welcoming atmosphere that balances modern convenience with the raw, untouched beauty of the Alaskan wilderness. It serves as a popular transition point for those traveling between Anchorage and the interior, providing a restful place to recharge while surrounded by nature.
Location & Surroundings
Situated just outside the historic city of Palmer, the park is framed by the towering, snow-capped peaks of the Chugach Mountain Range. The surrounding landscape is defined by lush agricultural fields and deep glacial valleys, offering a quieter, more pastoral alternative to the busier urban centers found elsewhere. Visitors often find themselves mesmerized by the shifting light on Pioneer Peak, which dominates the southern horizon and serves as a constant, breathtaking backdrop for campers throughout their stay.
Amenities & Park Features
The park is thoughtfully designed with modern RV needs in mind, featuring spacious pull-through sites that accommodate large rigs and multi-slide configurations with ease. Guests have access to comprehensive full hookups and several essential services:
- Full hookups with 30 and 50-amp electrical service
- High-speed Wi-Fi access for staying connected in the wild
- Clean, heated restroom and shower facilities
- On-site laundry and picnic areas
On-site facilities are highly rated for their cleanliness, including meticulously maintained laundry rooms, ensuring a comfortable and practical stay during any Alaskan weather conditions.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Adventure is never far away, with the historic Independence Mine at Hatcher Pass offering a fascinating glimpse into Alaska’s gold mining past and access to world-class alpine hiking trails. Travelers can also visit the nearby Musk Ox Farm to learn about Arctic conservation or take a short drive to the Matanuska Glacier for a guided ice trek. For those who enjoy local culture, downtown Palmer provides charming breweries, artisan shops, and a unique glimpse into the region’s agricultural heritage.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is an ideal fit for big-rig owners seeking easy navigation and level gravel pads without sacrificing the authentic scenic feel of the Last Frontier. It is perfect for families, photographers, and retirees who want a safe, well-managed environment while exploring the diverse Mat-Su Valley. If you value breathtaking landscape photography and a quiet, central location for day-tripping across Southcentral Alaska, this park will fit your travel style perfectly.

No rooms but there is grass, lovely grass, not gravel! Can't beat the view!!! Nice hot showers, if needed, with heat. Nice laundry room. Luxurious by Alaskan standards if not too crowded.
Kevin Hughes
Great place/RV Park close to many stores/amenities / excursions in the Palmer, Alaska area. Sites included full hook up (water, sewer and electric) and many pull thru sites. I ran into a problem with my TOAD while traveling with the Fantasy RV tour group and the owner was super helpful for me with some extra accommodations (which greatly alleviated the stress you can just imagine when you have car trouble). Highly recommend you stop here if your RV travels in Alaska take you to this area!

Quiet RV Park, such clean laundry/shower and rest room facilities. An amazing view of the snow capped mountain range.

Other campsites close early in Sept but they are still open until the end of Sept! We came back here to stay because of this amazing view and nice staff at the reception. Supermarkets are near by too!

Laundry and showers (no charge). Great views. Showers were not the cleanest. Laundry was adequate. I would go back. Make sure you have flipflops.
