This park is designed to offer a reliable resting point for those journeying along the Richardson Highway. With its focus on simplicity and accessibility, it provides a quiet environment where visitors can park their vehicles and prepare for the next leg of their Alaskan adventure without unnecessary complexities or resort-style distractions.

Nestled in the heart of Valdez, the park enjoys a prime location that keeps you close to the action while maintaining a sense of peace. You are positioned near the waterfront and the famous Prince William Sound, allowing for easy access to glacier tours and boat excursions. The surrounding landscape features the dramatic Chugach Mountains, offering breathtaking vistas directly from the park. This central placement makes it an ideal spot for logistics and sightseeing.

Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Valdez is a gateway to incredible wilderness exploration, and this park puts you minutes away from the action. Visitors often spend their days exploring the Soloman Gulch Fish Hatchery, where wildlife viewing opportunities, including bears and sea lions, are frequent. Kayak tours through the icy waters of the nearby sound or scenic drives to Worthington Glacier are also popular. After a day of adventure, the town’s local harbor remains a vibrant hub for culture and dining.
Who This Park Is Best For
Chena RV Park is best suited for independent travelers who prioritize convenience and location over high-end resort amenities. It is a fantastic choice for nature enthusiasts and anglers who plan to spend their daylight hours exploring the mountains or the sea rather than sitting at the campground. If you are looking for a reliable, no-fuss base camp to recharge before diving back into the beautiful Alaskan wilderness, this park will fit your travel style perfectly.

You are lucky if you find yourself at the small, tidy, owner-operated Chena RV. The sites are roomy; the services working perfectly, including internet; and the owners, who live on site, are very hospitable and generous, going out of their way to make sure guests are happy. The location is great--quiet, close to grocery, within walking distance of everything. We stayed five nights. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

Small campground located a little farther away from the hustle and bustle of the areas near the harbor, but close enough to walk to that area, playgrounds, neighborhoods, museums, grocery stores and food trucks. Full hookups, very friendly owners who gave us some great tips on things to do in town while we were there. Very quiet - sandwiched between two churches that didn’t have any activity during our time there.

Wonderful camp site with great mountain views.! Large quiet sites, full hookups, great water and owners are very nice! They even walked our pups while we were on the LuLu Belle! Walking distance to town, dog park, breweries, and restaurants. Would definitely stay here again!

Probably the biggest campsites in Valdez. Full hook ups, wifi and friendly hosts. The location is centrally located, making it easy to walk anywhere we wanted to go. Sites include a picnic table, but no fire rings. Sandwiched between a church and a dog park, it was very quiet, even for being full on a holiday weekend. Valdez itself is very pedestrian, bike and leashed dog friendly.

Very nice, quiet, more space than most rv parks. Everett is a great guy!

We really loved our stay over Labor Day weekend. We arrived around midnight and the owners stay up and came out with flashlights to help us get settled. Plenty of room for our 37 ft toy hauler. Owners came by and checked on our daily and made sure we enjoyed our stay. The spots are large and were not cramped unlike other RV parks in the area and had full hook ups and even sewage which is great. Perfect location and a beautiful view. Definitely will stay again!

Is quiet, very friendly and helpful owners, can walk all over town, food stores a couple minutes away walking, and large camper spots for all your stuff.
Cleo Ripley
Great place to stay! Only 10 sites, right in town. We walked or rode our bikes everywhere. Nicest RV park in town.
Florenda Carter
We really love this place. Less crowded, so peaceful and the owners treated us like family. Planning to stay here again next time.
