We stayed one night at spot 4 with elec hookup. It costs 30$. The service was ok. The campground is clean and the people were nice. There is a dump station available for 5$. Dry Camping costs 20$.
There it an airfield nearby, so if you don’t like the noise of little airplanes you might be in trouble over there.

We stayed in the dry camping sites, which were nice with plenty of space between if your rig is not too big to get in that area, the road is pretty tight. RV sites had electric only and were really close together. Friendly staff, great day use and park area. Showers are now included in price of camping, but they were not very clean, the woman’s shower didn’t drain and the handles were falling off in the mens. $5 extra if you want to use the dump station, there is a cut off hose for flushing water, which is useless if you have a screw in connector as we do. Took 35 minutes to top off our already half filled fresh water tank as there was no pressure and their connector leaked a lot. Some mosquitos around, but not too bad given spring arrived so late. Campground is located just by the very busy airport, our site was directly under the landing approach, but most of the traffic was small planes so it was kinda cool to watch them come in. Only one plane came over in the middle of the night, but they do start back up early morning. We will try somewhere else when we pass by this way again.

Pretty area. River access is a decent drop off to get there. Wooded sites big enough for bigger rigs are a little slim. Upper area has plenty of space for bigger rigs. They consider bigger than 24ft to be big. Showers are pay to use. Bug spray like everywhere in AK is a must.

Great campsite! Enjoyed my stay! I was happy with the service and privacy. It’s nice to have a fire and relax after a long day on the road. There’s also showers for $2.
