This park is very well suited for campers that are completely self-contained. If you are anything smaller than a self-contained camper this will not work for you. There are no after hour restrooms. And what they do offer I would not recommend for anyone. I took pictures but I'm not going to show them you will just have to trust me this is not a place for campers that are not self-contained. However on the other hand they have a great little cafe Delicious Pie and a wonderful laundromat. And they do have restrooms on the inside of the cafe but those are the only restrooms available until they close and then you have nothing.

We have stayed here three times as we go back and forth!! Nice quiet campground out in the woods!! Great internet service!! Includes a cafe and very nice owner!! $35 for full hookups! Great views along the Glennallen Hwy!!

Decent view and nobody was there so it was quiet and private. The desire to upcycle and reuse bathtubs, farm equipment, etc didn’t really make the place look tidy. I personally would get rid of it all, but perhaps it appeals to the owner. Easy time checking in and owner was very accommodating that we arrived after hours

Pinnacle MTN lodge is my home town. Family Built and owned. Sold to very wonderful women many 25 years or so ago whom still owns and runs to this day. Very unique place w lots of cool antiques n things to see. Matanuska Valley is beautiful and dear to my heart. The river flows vastly across road nestled in the Pinnacle mtns. Must see.
