Valdez KOA Journey
Alaska is truly the land that calls you. Once you visit, the spell it casts will call you again and again. The vastness, the majestic beauty, the lure of land not yet traveled.
The wild beauty of America's Last Frontier awaits at the Valdez KOA. Eighteen acres of wilderness surround the campground, where you can easily access hiking and ATV trails. Beyond, glacier-caked peaks dominate the view in all directions. A pristine stream flows right through the campground, Bald eagles soar by, and the occasional bear wanders through. Come camp from your RV, Tent or one of our Lodging options. With a camp store, Wi-Fi, and other on-site services, you can settle right in and get ready to explore this magnificent region. Charter a local guide to fish world-class waters for salmon and halibut. Board a wildlife excursion boat to scan the Sound for humpback whales, fuzzy sea otters, comical-looking puffins, and other birds not often seen in the Lower 48. Come face-to-face with one of the largest tidewater glaciers in North America, an ice sheet as high as a football field, and another big Alaska memory. Open Memorial Day (weather permitting). ALL MILITARY ARE WELCOME! WE ARE A VETERAN-OWNED CAMPGROUND. Max pull thru: 100 feet. Your hosts: Jason & Kristin Britt.

We stayed in the "Deluxe Cabin" It was older than what I expected. We have stayed at many KOA's and they were a lot newer. It was ok for a 2 night stay in late August. The bed was comfortable and bedding was nice. Parking right next to cabin. When I walked in I told my husband wow how nice they left us a basket of goodies and cups of cereal. My husband said look up and I saw a price list. Small bag chips 3.89, Snack cake 3.89, reg bag of M & M's 3.50. Small frig that had things in it for sale, which took up space. Expensive, but I guess we are in Alaska! We went to local grocery store and bought our own snacks. Decent place to stay and a lot cheaper than other places in Valdez.

We had a great stay at Valdez KOA. They have very friendly and attentive staff. The 6 minute drive to town was extremely convenient. It would be easy to bike to town as well as there is a great paved trail along the highway that leads all the way to town. We utilized their corn hole games and horseshoe pit, and our dog enjoyed the fenced in area. My wife left her headphones in our cabin and they mailed them back to us! Thank you guys! Absolutely amazing service. We’ll definitely be back!

Wonderful and spacious KOA with great sites and amazing staff. We used one of the easy-camp sites with the tent already set up (thankfully - it was raining hard for two days straight, in true Valdez fashion, so our own equipment didn’t get soaked) which was a really nice setup away from the RV sites. Bathroom is a bit of a hike away, especially in pouring rain, so bring your wellies!

Not that great of a KOA. We stay at KOAs once and awhile while traveling because we know we will have everything we need to regroup. They do not have sewer, but they have someone that comes to pump you out. They have a laundry, but not that great. If you come to Valdez you are better off picking one of the camping places in town. You can walk places and have full services. Plus, some of them are hard surfaced which helps in the rain.

This was our first KOA experience, but we absolutely loved it. The owners were extremely helpful and welcoming. There are nice bathrooms, showers, dishwashing station, etc available. There’s a playground and other amenities for everyone to enjoy with a variety of spaces with full hook ups, partial, tents only, cabins, glamping, and more. If you’re coming down to Valdez, I’d say this is a perfect place to stay out of town. It’s prettier than the RV parks that are in town, and puts you closer to the hatchery and other things across the bay from Valdez proper. We would stay here again if we come back to Valdez!

Rented a cabin for two nights. Very warm and comfortable. Bed was soft. Saw other people BBQ on their front porch. Kids tent camped outside. Went on a nearby boat tour of the Glacier and had a wonderful experience. Saw whales, black bear, seals, sea lions. Definitely looking forward to coming back and will stay here again.

What a great place to enjoy the outdoors plus have a few amenities. We spent the first part of our trip at a different campground. Moved over to the KOA and couldn't have been happier. The staff is welcoming and personable. The grounds are kept nice and the ability to buy ice, firewood, and get food from a food truck without having to drive to town was amazing. I'm almost double thinking about posting this. Don't want this gem to get too popular.

The cabin was adorable. We used it for 3 adults for 3 nights and we even tried to extend our stay because we were enjoying our time. The bed and the pull out mattress were comfortable. It was extremely clean. The shower was updated and nice and has great water pressure. I will be staying again!

We had the BEST WEEK in our Easy Tent!! It is an awesome concept, Easy Camping! You drive up and your tent is ready! 4 cots await a great nights sleep with a gorgeous view of the mountains. The spacious tent has 7 windows for ventilation and plenty of extra space! All you need to bring is your sleeping bag and food. In front of the tent is a covered picnic table that is perfect on a raining day. Across from the campsite is a sweet playground and doggie k9 camp. This awesome KOA has an essentials store, laundry and is 10 minutes from the great town of Valdez where fishing and the Lu Lu Belle cruise are a must ! Also, Lori the manager is one of the kindest people you will ever meet! We were sad to leave and can’t wait to stay here in the future! It was a 5 star family vacation! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this KOA and the Easy Tent!!

My first time at a KOA and I was very impressed. The park was clean, well maintained, and had great amenities. One of the nicer RV parks in Alaska.
