If fishing is your preferred pastime, the campground is adjacent to the famous Little Susitna River. There is even a small boat launch beach area in the rear of the campground. At different times of the year you can fish for all five species of Alaskan salmon (Coho, King, Sockeye, Chum, and Pink) here on the Little Susitna. Ken and Sheila have been managing this campground for many years and have developed a clientele of regular campers. This makes the campground atmosphere a bit friendlier than other campgrounds. It is not uncommon to have an impromptu pot luck with your neighbors. When the fish are running this campground can fill up quickly so calling ahead to make reservation is recommended.

Beautiful park! Perfect grass area, playground, and even rest rooms. There was hardly a crowd, and…read morethe waterfront location is absolutely prime.

The showers and bathrooms are so clean. They even have hair dryers and looks like a laundry facility, which we won't need to use. There is also a small playground for kids. It's nice to get away from Anchorage and camp and also avoiding the Seward Highway by coming up this way. We have tons of errands to do, so it's nice that wasilla and Palmer are close by to get stuff done, but still feel like we are out camping and enjoying the last of the summer. The check in process was very simple to, with clear instructions. I am very impressed. Every detail was thought of. We will be back! Thank you!

The handicapped tables didnt even have an accessible path to them. The play area was of poor quality. For such a huge park surrounded by rich people houses, it was in dispicable condition.

Lots of car noise here and if some doozy tourist nodded off, it wouldn't be good. Give it a try if you're in Wasilla, if you're in Anchorage, check out my "Anchorage Parks!" list, there are many quieter options available in our more crowded city to the south!

First, upon arrival in the parking lot, you will find ample parking spaces and a beautiful view (weather pending) of the entire Matsu Valley including Pikneer and Matanuska Peaks. Second, there are several boards with information to check out. One of the boards includes a small pamphlet with all the trails. I HIGHLY recommend grabbing one. The hiking trail intersects with the ski trails at several points and the map is very helpful. (But still a little confusing) Third, the trail itself is wonderful. I took off on the "Race Trail." It's is very easy (but a little wet in October) for the first .95 miles. After that it starts to head uphill at a pretty decent angle. About a mile and half in, you intersect with the Blueberry Knoll Loop. It's not a far climb, but the views on a clear day become spectacular very quickly. At the 1 mike marker, there is an offshoot trail that heads to a picnic table and two Adirondack chairs. Very relaxing spot.
