Big Bear RV Park

Lorie Small

This KOA journey was pretty nice. We liked how it was arranged in a circle with both back ends and drive-through for RVs. It had a lot of nice grass and a playground for the kids. It wasn't a very big park, so only some of the sites were full hook ups. The others were electric only. That was fine with us, since we were only there for two nights.

This was a one night stop on our way to Homer. It was easy to get to and the staff was very friendly. Our site was a pull thru FHU and was easy to get in to. The sites are spacious. Bathrooms and showers were great. There are plenty of tent sites and some cabin sites. The laundry room had plenty of washers and dryers. They charge $3.50 for the washer and $3.50 for the dryer. There is a change machine for you to get change. There is a small sofa to sit at our a chair. There is a table for folding. They have a nice playground for kids. We will be staying here again in August on our way to Valdez.

This is a really nice KOA. The sites are a bit larger than what I have seen with other KOA campgrounds and the restrooms and showers are super clean. I appreciate that very much. The staff is attentive and helpful plus friendly. The campground has a covered area with seating and a grill (it’s very clean!) that makes for a nice place to socialize with fellow campers. All in all, a super nice KOA that I think you will like.

Very friendly and helpful. We actually canceled our reservation at another rv park so that we can come back here in a few weeks. Laundry is clean and has lots of washers and dryers. Coin machine right in the laundry. Gift shop has many reasonably priced items. Staff were welcoming and very helpful.

Office staff was exceptional supporting our travel from Tok when we had a break down, she went above and beyond to arrange our stay. The laundry area and overall site was clean and well kept. The location was easy to access right off the highway. This was a good stop for us on our way south. The only reason we rated a 4 was our neighbor had 2 small dogs who did not clean up after them. We were stepping in it to hook up our camper. We did let the office know.

Lots are spacious, the managers have been good to work with. My only issue is they don't allow you to use the restrooms and showers in the winter time.

This is one of the nicest KOAs I have camped at. I read some really negative reviews of this place before it became a KOA, but clearly whoever purchased it for the KOA franchise has made some very nice improvements. We camped on site 26. The electric pedestal was in good working order. The bathrooms were recently tastefully updated and the showers were clean. The laundry room was also clean and the staff was attentive to an issue with one washing machine. The staff were friendly and very helpful. They offer a dump station and propane as well as a large covered pavilion (which allows campers to be outside but under cover on the many rainy days Alaska has).The location is near the highway and was a bit noisy, but the flip side of location is that it is very convenient to Palmer and Wasilla and is great for folks who want to get on the road to another destination without driving through a lot of traffic lights in town. It is also very near a hospital, should an emergent situation arise. I highly recommend this KOA for upholding the standards we expect in a KOA.

Stayed for 3 weeks and would definitely stay there again. The park is very nicely maintained. The showers, bathrooms, and laundry are very clean!! Lots of grass for the fur babies & a nice play area for the kiddos. The Koa workers are always out working and making improvements . Thanks , Ginger, James & Allison and the lady that drives the tractor like she stole it!! ( sorry! Didn’t get her name but she did a great job ) for making our stay pleasant!!!

We are from Mississippi and really enjoyed our stay here. Bathrooms, showers and laundry rooms are clean and well maintained. Owner and employees are very helpful and just happy people 😊The view of the mountains is amazing! Stay here!

We stayed there for the winter 2023 before leaving to go to the lower 48. Their website stated 700 for the month plus electricity. When we went to reserve our spot they raised it to 950 a month not including electric. Fine we dealt with it. We were not allowed to use the showers since we had water hookup. But the maintenance person and whom ever visited was allowed to. The laundry facility stated it was closed for cleaning 12-2 daily . The laundry room garbage was always over flowing at that time there was only 5 campers there. They were allowing people from outside the park to do laundry there. If it snowed nothing was plowed for a couple days and then you had to re dig yourself out because they would plow you back in. Also I always had to shovel out the entrance door just to do laundry. They would never answer the phone and they definitely do not have 24 hour maintenance. The dryers some how turned a lot of clothes black speckled grease all over so very frustrating. This was the worst experience for my family. Also NO military discount at all . Hopefully my review was helpful I was informed by another person camping for the winter this was his worst experience. O they also have a $50 clean up fee for pet owners but there was so much dog poop all over from the maintenance guys dog who freely went everywhere. We also got to witness them chasing a mother moose and her baby out of the park that were eating and then started throwing things at them. Which is highly against the law. Stayers beware just because it says KOA does not mean it is clean.
