Pull off the Glenn Highway and stay somewhere worth remembering.

We offer full hookup RV sites with 20/30/50 amp service, easy big rig pull-throughs with no tight turns, tent sites along the creek, and cozy cabins when you want four walls and a roof. Our grounds are well-maintained, our staff actually know your name, and our rates won't make you wince.

What We Offer
- Full Hookup RV Sites Water, electric (20/30/50 amp), and sewer. Pull-through sites sized for big rigs. Easy in, easy out — the way it should be on a long Alaska drive.
Creekside RV/Tent Sites Fall asleep to the sound of Tolsona Creek. Shaded, scenic, and genuinely peaceful. This is what people come back for.
Cabins Need a solid roof and a real bed? Our cabins are a warm, comfortable base for exploring the Copper River Valley, Wrangell-St. Elias, and the surrounding wilderness.
The Roadhouse Tavern Pull up a stool at one of Alaska's most storied bars. Cold beer, local conversation, and a history that goes back generations. The Roadhouse Tavern is a reason to stay an extra night — not just a place to grab a drink.
