As a relatively seasoned RV traveler in Alaska that's done it for the past 3 years, this is the…read morenumber one place I recommend in the interior. Andy and Karen Burnham bought the place several years ago and have worked very hard to make the place at home for you. They live in the place in the wintertime when it can get down to 60 below and they only have a wood fireplace to rely on for warmth. A brief history of the place; it was a lodge 3 brothers from Michigan founded in the 1940's and built themselves with blood, sweat, and tears, which is what it took for an enterprising person to make it there back then to not get cold or hungry. Andy and Karen took it over making it a showplace and still working on it. There's a display of vintage typewriters and appliances in a room in the lodge and a nice selection of sundries and reading material. And the outside has old International trucks from the 1940's on display still in running condition. For food and drink, they serve their famous roadkill chili with a selection of squirrel, porcupine, and muskrat depending on what day it is. And wood fire pizzas to include supreme, meat lovers, pepperoni, or chili. Better than what you'll get at the average pizzeria in Alaska. The bar has a nice selection of flavored whiskeys, canned local mixed drinks, and the basic traditional stuff. It is expensive, but a lot of logistics and expenses are involved to get the stuff there. As for RV'ing in itself, perfect! All the sites are near the nicely flowing Tolsona Creek. Whether you like to fish or not, it's a pleasant view. Anyway, we've been there 3 times already in the past 2 years. I want the place to remain a secret, but at the same time want the owners to enjoy the bounty of their hard work and the place continue to flourish, maybe eventually it'll become a popular winter lodge as well with the cabins.

Stayed one night and Andy had no social skills the night I had beer and ordered his premade frozen…read morepizzas in there restaurant. Bunch kids came in for ice cream and he was not happy to cater to them but assumed he did as I left due to his social skills. Got up early next morning and packed up drove down to showers and instead of parking on the road out front drove behind the building on the gravel road. When finishing up my shower and brushing teeth Andy pounds on the two doors as this shower building have me and a elderly lady next door. I opened door as I was trying to tidy up bit around sink and was getting total harassed for parking behind building as apparently the septic tank was under the road. He walked me around building to show me how someone else had hit the building from driving around before and I just responded that I know how to drive. There was no sign to identify this he continues to go off on me at 7AM and I even apologized but this did not calm the man at the least even though I had no idea I did wrong. So as I putting my items in truck and forgot my towel and saving kit with all my supplies other than my clothes bag on the hook in the washroom/ shower room. The other older lady just quickly walked away from the situation. Felt bad for her as she was also innocent bystander. He then drives over to my site and then came back and started on me again because as a courtesy I shut off the power breakers at my site post. He said you keep shutting the power off to the site beside you even through I had 14 I think and site beside me had #15 apparently 15 was fed from #14 again I had no idea and no sign or blocking of breakers for the other site who did have there own post. Guess with just a number on it but fed from mine. Unless you are full psychic I would not recommend staying at this place to be fully off the handle harassed but of no known fault of your own. When I arrived at my next location that evening I realized I had left all my toiletries and towel behind and Epi pen and sent email so I could pick it up next day passing back through and was told by Andy's wife that she did not see anything when she was cleaning up washrooms that day and not one turned in the items. I responded with after my experience I think I have good idea as to where my items went and explained to her that Andy has burn out which I did running my business and also and needed to get out. She respectively responded and said that Andy would not do that. What do you think? Fellow campers wanted my wet towel and tooth brush. She was very nice when I Was there and did respond to both my emails but if anyone's knows anyone's true colors it would be his wife. I have left this response for over week hoping that I would be contacted even though I'm long gone heading to Ontario that my items have been recovered but I quite sure my first thought of the items was correct but again I am not the psychic you need to be to understand requirements necessary to satisfy Andy thoughts.

It's a rather large campground with water and electric at many sites, along with a single dump station in the common area. Every site is along the River, which is fabulous too. In all reality, I don't think there are any bad spots, but we liked ours, which was away from the common areas. While we loved seeing all the kids playing on the playground and the creek, we were there for the peace & quiet. We appreciated being able to book online. The map showed us spots where our rig would fit and that was helpful, although we weren't able to fit in the spot requested after all. I walked to the office to see about another site and they were very accommodating. Turns out my husband saw a site that would be perfect and not only was it available, it was indeed perfect!!! We took note of the spot number and will definitely be requesting that spot again. In the common area, there is the office, which has snacks and campground memorabilia, there is a coffee shack with snacks, playground and picnic are. They also rent float tubes for the creek. While there is limited WiFi, there is no cell service and the WiFi doesn't reach the majority of the grounds. If you must have reception, I highly recommend you bring your Starlink. They do a family theme every weekend apparently... which we were unaware of. It was a little odd when we saw campsites with Halloween decorations in August followed by children in costumes coming to our site to trick or treat. We didn't love strangers strolling through our campsite as we were trying to decompress for the weekend and ended up feeling obligated to share our weekend treats, which selfishly was annoying, but at the same time, adorable to see the grateful children's faces light up! We'll definitely be back... next time I'll check their calendar to see what the festivities are if we don't want to partake, I'll figure out some way to make notice of that at our site.
