jenalan Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 It appears all the RV parks in Anchorage have horrible reviews. Any recommendations on where to stay for a few weeks, within an hour drive of Anchorage? At least an electrical hookup would be required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Skinner Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 We checked out one late one afternoon during a slow rain, and did not like what we saw, so we went on up to Palmer. Nice campground there. C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2gypsies Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Palmer is an easy drive into Anchorage. We've also stayed at Eagle River in the public campground - beautiful. Personally, I wouldn't spend two weeks for Anchorage. 3-4 days tops to stock up on food, and a little touring of the city, etc. There are nicer places to go.

AFchap Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 We stayed at Golden Nugget with a caravan in 2013 ...very decent park, no complaints. I agree that 4 days is plenty for Anchorage.

Bob Vaughn Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 American Legion in Anchorage Moose in Anchorage Elks in Wasilla VFW in just outside Wasilla We stayed at Elks, VFW and American Legion Do you have to be a member to stay at all of the Above? The reason I ask is we were camping with a friend of ours and he took us to either the Elks or Moose for dinner one night and they would not let us in even though he was a member.....

Dale P Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Yes Elks and Moose you have to be a member or be a guess on the member attending. VFW / American Legion - Ex, retired or in the military As for the member being turned away at the door, that has never happen to anyone I know.

Mariner Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 http://www.mtviewrvpark.com/ Palmer AK Nice and quiet we stayed three nights there in late July. Not all sites had electric, and the ones that did only a few were 50amps. No one was there when we got in, so did a little walk around to find a 50amp site. But it was fine for the 5 days we were there back in 2012. It was a short drive to the Walmart in Wasilla, and a pretty good Mexican restaurant.

teacher's pet Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Stayed at Golden Nugget twice in 2013, before Kenai, Homer, and Seward, and on the way through going to Valdez. I guess we would stay again, since we already did. Teacher's Pet '06 40' Phaeton QSH 350 Cat.
