This park/ campground was amazing with epic views and there were play areas for the children or…read morepavilions for parties. Many campgrounds sites were available, but we were just there for a walk and taking some photos. Planes were flying above as it's near the Palmer airport and I got some great shots of the airplanes flying above. This airport is predominantly single engine planes. Trails were marked well, but keep track of where you are, as we were not sure on the way back, but you have cell service to look at where you are exactly to find your way back. It's next to a cemetery, which was a great spot for photography also. Overall a great choice for an easy stretch out your legs hike, with marked options for longer hikes/ mountain biking trails.

One of the nicest, most modern campgrounds in Alaska. To start, they have on site hot showers…read more Thats unprecedented in Alaska. They also have a volleyball court, playground, children's bike course, and beautifully landscaped facility. This is much more on par with what you would expect in the lower 48. They also have a nice set of short trails (not safe for children who are incapable of following directions due to shear cliffs), but other than that they are fairly easy with nice views and not terribly difficult.

Amazing, small ski slopes just outside of Palmer, Alaska in the Hatcher Pass. Most definitely…read morerecommend. Staff were so friendly, lift lines less than a couple of minutes wait time, mountain runs were expertly groomed, and the price was amazing....day pass and equipment rental was around $80. Finally, the ability to access backcountry was unexpectedly easy. Looking forward to returning.

There are still a lot of people that don't realize we finally have a chair lift in Hatcher Pass for…read moreskiing and snowboarding!! In its second season, it's getting busier and busier all the time. My dad bought a season pass and is definitely working towards getting his money's worth and I'm not far behind. If you're familiar with the different resorts around the area, I'd say that as it sits right now, Skeetawk is a mix between Hilltop and Arctic Valley... or Alpenglow if you're not as old school as I am. Anywho... At only 300 vertical feet and I believe 30 chairs on the lift, its a fun ride! It also beats hitchhiking back up the mountain road. As of right now, the offer porta-potties, which is a bit uncomfortable to say the least. A two story yurt houses the newly opened ski rental, which unfortunately, at this time does not offer snowboards. They're working on getting more gear, instructors and tuning... all of which, especially the latter two are quite important and sparse. As for the people... for the most part, pretty cool folks working up there... cashiers, lift attendants and patrol! I'm not going to throw anyone down the hill and bash them, but some could be a bit friendlier... well, one in particular in leadership. It seemed that if you weren't in her age group, not in her circle or something... I can't quite put my finger on why, but it came across that she just didn't care about you, your ability or what you had to offer, even to the conversation at hand. In making suggestions to reach out for a couple different things, I felt a bit of a cold shoulder, which is indeed a turn off when you're local and wanting to get to know people with similar interests and promote a new hill.... even if the only similarity is winter downhill recreation. It is what it is... and I don't see myself joining in on the conversation again. They have a long way to go... and need a lot of money to get there, but for now, it's worth it to go. It's a quick trip from my house, doesn't break the bank and is even nostalgic for those of us that rode backcountry up there and stayed at the Motherload back in the day.

Anyone can stay in a hotel, but few can say that they have stayed in a place like this. Give the people back home something to be jealous about when you share about your trip.

This is the true Alaskan experience! Our cabin was adorable with all sorts of charm and character…read more Neat photos and antiques adorned the walls. Gas stove heated the cabin and made it cozy and homey. Clean and well stocked, but you will need to hit the grocery store before you go as there is no food on site. Beautiful property and secluded, only forest is seen out of the cabin windows. Mountain views are abundant from this area and the wildlife viewing is exceptional. Price was extremely affordable. Our hosts were very accommodating and suggested all sorts of fun excursions in the area. Highly recommend these cabins!

Dan is very friendly and knowledgeable about everything he does ! He knows the areas well, & is informative! I would definitely recommend him & the company for any tour or trip you do in his area.

The spaces tend to be level and most have full hookups. Power is currently limited to 30 amps, but the plan is to increase at least some to 50 amp in future.

There is a spacious lawn for tents as well. WIFI is provided with a code to join. There are great views of surrounding mountains and nights are generally quiet. We have now stayed here twice and would return. The park is Good Sam approved again in 2018. Plan ahead, it is a busy park.
