Northern Nights Campground & RV Park
Overview

Situated at Mile 188.7 of the Glenn Highway, this park serves as a vital resting point where the Glenn and Richardson Highways meet.

Located in the heart of Glennallen, the park is surrounded by the dramatic scenery of the Wrangell Mountains. The area is defined by its proximity to the Copper River, a world-famous destination for salmon fishing.

The wide pull-through sites make navigation simple for those towing extra gear. On-site facilities include clean restrooms, hot showers, and laundry services, which are essential for long-haul Alaskan road trips. Reliable Wi-Fi is also available to help travelers stay connected while off the beaten path.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
This campground serves as an excellent gateway to Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, the largest national park in the United States. Visitors can easily take day trips to see the massive glaciers or explore the historic mining town of McCarthy. For those interested in local culture and wildlife, the Copper River offers incredible world-class salmon fishing opportunities. Nature enthusiasts also enjoy local hiking trails and flightseeing tours that provide a bird's-eye view of the surrounding mountain ranges.
Who This Park Is Best For
Northern Nights is an ideal choice for AlCan Highway explorers who need a reliable and comfortable stopover between Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Valdez. It is perfect for travelers who prefer a quiet, natural environment over a crowded resort style. Whether you are a serious angler targeting the Copper River or a family seeking a basecamp for national park adventures, this park offers the practical amenities and scenic beauty required for a successful Alaskan journey.

This dirty little campground was the biggest disappointment on a 10,000 mile road trip. Bathroom shower, only one in service backed up drain sludge on our feet and was full of hair and snot wiped on the walls. The Laundry room was full of what looked to be the owners random junk drawer, 2 washers and dryers stuffed in a closet no folding area or room to even turn around. The whole property seemed pieced together with random leftover building supplies. It gave us just a creepy feeling. The host was fine gave us restaurant info etc. if we had done a little more research there was a state campground at the next intersection and down the road. Or a random parking lot would have done the job. We paid 35$ for a dry camp spot no power. The prices were not posted on line. I think Good Sam Club better check this place… it should not carry their rating.

Lady in the office is super nice. For being out in the middle of Nowhere, Alaska, the prices are dirt cheap. The park is kept up tidy and neat and the WIFI is excellent. Was planning on staying one night, changing that to two.

Showers and laundry were gross. Nothing clean about this place. If having someone else’s hair all over the shower doesn’t bother you, then this place may work for you. For an RV site, they charge $60 a night (you can’t find this information anywhere on their website). Had I known how much they charge and how unclean this place was prior to our arrival, I would have found somewhere else that was well-kept for a lesser cost. And by the way, even though we were there in July, the office was closed for the season so good luck if you need anything.

We found ourselves at this RV Park after breaking down on the highway an hour north of Glennallen. The hosts were fantastic at making us feel at home while our truck was getting worked on up the road. Showers and toilets were clean and accessible. Each site had a good table and a firepit. Our spot even had a dart board. Easy walk to the Visitors Center and several restaurants. Can't thank y'all enough for the hospitality and look forward to visiting again under better circumstances!

I've given them a 2 because they are in a good location, but travel a few more miles and go to a different campground. The showers have no water presser and are dirty. Only one dump station for the whole park. Sites are hard to get into,
