Julie Cruse
Beautiful camping site, right on the river. Clean outhouses, and trash readily available. Would stay here again
Dan Southworth
Tok River State Recreation Site is a smaller public campground around 5 miles south of Tok. This campground offers dry camping only but there are clean vault facilities available. Great for a one night stop over
Brian Gundlach
5 miles east of Tok close to the highway. Clean. Nice spot to overnight on your way on the Alcan. Close to highway so there is some traffic noise. Tok River flows right next to camp sites worth the $20 for an intermediate stop
NV Frrksen
Easy access off the main highway, but that means lots of traffic noise. Nice river access, might be a good place to float from. Little short hiking area (enough for pet relief). Short distance to Tok.
Becca Bellman
Nice camping spot with 2 restrooms and a nice walking path near the river.
