Hi all, my lady, Dawn, our dog, Sophie and I just spent last night in cabin #1 at the Red Igloo…read moreCabins in Gakona, Alaska. These are nice little places each with their own heat-source, plumbed in showers, toilets and sinks. Tastefully decorated, very clean and comfortable. The owners are friendly and continually strive to improve the grounds for the comfort and enjoyment of their guests. Give them a try or at least a call to see how they can help you or your friends with a nice little place to stay if you find yourself in Gakona. Dawn, Sophie and I would be happy to return for another stay.

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.

The view of the Copper River is breathtaking and each room has its own patio to enjoy it. The rooms are spacious, clean, and well-furnished. Breakfasts here are delicious and big! What they serve changes each day and they'll prepare it according to your preference. We had waffles, pancakes, and omelettes during our stay. We had our two young children with us and they were well accommodated. There's a nice part of the lawn for playing and some lawn games to use. We also used the rec room to watch a movie and shoot pool. Kudos to the owners on creating such a beautiful place. We look forward to returning.

Stumbled into this place completely by accident. Was on a week long road trip of the state and…read moredecided to see what was down that road. WHAT. A. GEM! The owner, Ron, is a super nice guy who has lived on the property for 19 years. The bar and the detached lodge are clearly his heart. The saloon shouldn't be called a "dive bar", because it is immaculate. But it is very eclectic. The model train that runs all around the bars' ceilings is no doubt one of the largest in the nation. It goes out of the bar walls through tunnels, and goes all over outside and through other (private) buildings. Ron is an expert on the history of the Copper River Valley, and has written a book of fictional history based on his own family. (I purchased the book but haven't read it yet.) The gardens in the bars' outdoor patio are beautifully kept with lovely grass and flower beds. There is a pool table and several jukeboxes, all with an astonishing collection of music varying through all genres and many decades--even big band and swing music. Friendly staff, super cool decor...it is an Alaskan bar at it's finest, and I have seen many, many of them. My friends whom I was traveling with from San Francisco were flabbergasted. They come from a place that tries so hard to be cool, but they kept shaking their heads in wonder and saying, "This place is SO LEGIT." Of note is that this is also a lodge. We rolled into the bar intentionally having an adventure day with no plans of where we were staying. We were thrilled that Ron had several lovely rooms to rent for the night. Showers and bathrooms are shared, but the rooms were clean, had excellent beds and even more fabulous bedding and pillows. Think 5 star bed in a little room with the coolest bar you've ever seen within stumbling distance of that bed. It was a great experience. Be prepared to meet some interesting locals as well!

My favorite thing about this place is that it has a lot of interesting things on the walls and the train. I can't even imagine how long it took the owner to set up the train tracks and all of the scenery around them. It goes both inside and out and it is set up amazingly. I love it! The bartender Jess is awesome and the owner has been there every night (although I don't think he can get too far away. He lives above it.) I would definitely reccomend going here if you are in the Copper Center area.

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.

My girlfriend and I had an early dinner here and enjoyed it very much. We were greeted by a…read morefriendly waitress (Jennette, I believe) who opened a lovely patio setting just for us. I had the standard cheeseburger but with jalepenos added. Jenette warned me about the voracity of the jalepenos, given the amount of seeds, but I did not flinch. Know what you're saying and who you are saying it to, Jennette. It was indeed a spicy burger, but also excellent. It was a solid half pounder and cooked to perfection and had some quality bun to go with it too. My girlfriend got the patty melt or something, which is a different way to say "burger with bread instead of a bun", and she did so in shocking disregard of the the proximity to the celebration of our nation's independence. What kind of Scandinavian bullshit is a burger with bread?! Despite the proletariat, and embarrassingly treasonous nature of her meal, she liked it a lot. Our waitress was great. The kitchen did great. The Inn is very Alaska-y and I assume the rooms are good too. Highly recommend it to anyone passing though.

We met so many good people here and are going to make this a ritual. Pro's Potable water and Dump site on the grounds. River front views Free WiFi Little Mountain View store within 2 miles. CLEAN Bathrooms on site Clean campground in general. CON's WiFi is ONLY available in the room next to the office AND will not reach the campground. This is a PRO obviously but for some it would not be especially if you have kids. SPOT 30 has electrical hook up but bring an extension cord with you. Also, if you have dogs, spot 30 isn't the spot for you. This is right in the heart where everyone walks by with their dog's, kids flying by on the bikes, and Wheelers. All of the people coming in, tow their campers right by you which makes for a dusty environment. Additionally, very very limited privacy. EVERYONE can see what you have or are having for dinner. Overall, great campground. I recommend but do not recommend site 30!
