    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.

    Overall, great trip. Second time here at the campground and without a doubt it was a fun 4th! Very…read morefriendly staff and campsite host is awesome!!! 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!

Don't sleep on this campground the fishing is good, the eagle watching incredible, areas of water that are safe for the kids to play. The owners and camp host are incredible and truly care about your experience during your stay. Tyler is an incredible guide, kids think he is hilarious. Sites and charters are reasonably priced, cannot say enough good things. Already booked for next year, thanks for the memories guys! Also my use of the word incredible is intense I know, but it's just that good!

    This was one of the best trips that I have ever taken. I had a good feeling that it was going to…read morebe that way the moment I spoke to Greg several months earlier when I planned it out. He answered all of my questions and was really helpful in getting us prepared. From where to stay, clothes to wear, gear to bring, etc., he really made it easy. Once we arrived, Greg was an awesome guide. He was knowledgeable, helpful and full of advice. In my opinion, the best thing was that he was so into his job. He was really excited and excited for his guests. That made it even more fun. All of us that went really enjoyed his company beyond just being our guide. If you are fortunate enough to get to Alaska for some fishing, you should definitely look Greg up!

    My brother and I had the pleasure to enjoy a raft trip down the Gulkana with Greg in late May. We…read morehad wanted to do the Klutina, but uncertainty as to the passability of the road getting upriver given that breakup had pretty much just happened landed us in a wonderful and relaxing float down the Gulkana instead. We saw eagles and a variety of ducks, and after just driving and ferrying up from the Lower-48 in a new car, we were more than happy to let someone else "drive" us for awhile. Anytime on the river is better than a lot of things I can think of, and it turned out Greg and I had several mutual acquaintances or friends of friends including the guy from whom he purchased the raft in which he guided us downriver. We had a blast, got some fresh air, saw some eagles, and just had a great time soaking up the amazing scenery along the Gulkana. I would certainly do this again with Greg. He was great company and told us interesting stories about the area. If you are in the Glennallen area, don't miss a chance to take a great ride or even go fishing with Greg. The salmon weren't in yet when we were there or we surely would have been fishing too. This float is really worth it, even therapeutic !
