RV Camping near Denali National Park, Alaska

Jeff's at Big Lake RV Park

24 RV Sites

Jeff's at Big Lake RV Park in Wasilla, Alaska, offers 24 dry campsites on Big Lake with rigs accepted to 40 feet. A single dry campsite category, a fishing pier, and a dump station serve guests in the Matanuska-Susitna Valley. Twenty-four sites are dry campsites throughout, sized to 40 feet, with fire pits. Plan accordingly — these are self-contained sites, so arrive with full water and empty tanks. A dump station is on the property, and it is worth confirming current water fill arrangements when you book. One consistent category means no guesswork about what you reserved, and the straightforward setup keeps rates well below serviced parks in the valley. A fishing pier on the property gives direct lake access, with a river running the grounds and offroading nearby. The amenity set is deliberately minimal — no pool, no clubhouse, no programming — which keeps rates low and suits guests who spend their days on the water rather than at the campground. Fire pits at every site and a quiet, uncrowded layout are what regulars come back for. Pets are welcome. Big Lake is one of the Mat-Su Valley's most popular recreation waters, and in winter one of the busiest snowmachining and ice fishing destinations in Southcentral Alaska. Wasilla is close for supplies, and Anchorage is about an hour south. The Alaska summer season is short and intense, running June through August, with a distinct winter following for snowmachiners and ice fishers. Reserve well ahead for the summer window.

Bing Brown's RV Park and Motel

24 RV Sites, 10 Tent Sites, 3 Hotel Rooms

Bing Brown's RV Park and Motel in Sterling, AK, offers 24 RV sites, 3 hotel rooms, and 10 tent sites, with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 45 feet. Sites come in two types: full-hookup back-ins carrying water, sewer, and electric with a picnic table, and electric-only back-ins for guests who need less. Pull-thru layouts are available. A bathhouse with showers is on the property, and pets are welcome. The motel rooms give non-RV travelers a place to land. One thing to confirm before you plan a trip: opening and closing dates shift with the weather, so check the current season with the park. There's no recreation program on the grounds, and none is needed — this is a fishing base, and guests spend their days on the water. Sterling sits at mile 81 on the Sterling Highway at the geographic center of the Kenai Peninsula's fishing corridor, where the Kenai River's whitewater above the confluence meets the sockeye run below it at the Moose River. Rates for sites, tent spots, and motel rooms are on the booking page. Confirm operating dates before you commit to a date, and reserve well ahead for the salmon runs.
