I rented a cabin and found a large amount of mouse droppings in the pull-out bed. It gave me the impression that cabins are not cleaned well or often.

This place saved us when our car broke down near Glennallen! They were super quick to answer our calls and helped us find a place to stay that same night. The pullout couch was pretty dirty so we weren’t able to stay on that bed, but overall our experience here was great and the customer service was awesome!

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.
