Unfortunately, I was told that…read moreno information would be provided unless I came in person and that they would need to "look at me" before discussing rates. I understand that RV parks may have policies regarding long-term stays, but the conversation came across as unwelcoming. As someone calling from out of state on behalf of a family member, I was simply looking for basic information. I hope the management will consider providing a more courteous and informative first impression to prospective guests, as a friendly phone conversation can make all the difference.

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.

They had cool refreshments and snacks for us as well ! Since the day would be hot and Vern did not want to stress the dogs, he took us on the dog pull in his 4 wheel ATV which was a blast. The dogs loved to pull and pull - so much that the brakes on the ATV wore out. The dogs used the same voice commands as the Denali dog sled tour. Ha and Gi were the commands used in common. We went into the forest thru mud holes, water puddles, and very rough terrain which the dogs loved. Ironically, it was hotter in Alaska than Los Angeles by 15 degrees at the same time! It was so warm that all the mosquitos hatched and came out to attack. The Iditarod sled dogs don't seem to be bothered by them though. After we returned, Vern did his lecture on how an Iditarod team is built, planned, and executed. We learned quite a lot to be a competitor in a very grueling contest!

In addition to two campgrounds cabins, there are countless lakes, ponds, streams and creeks, trails, parking lots and toilets. There's even canoe rentals. In winter theres some limited trail grooming as well. Fishing is popular in some of the lakes- see the state website for deets. Berry picking is excellent you're willing to explore as well. Bears are a real concern here so be prepared, we've seen them. Amazing bird watching as well. My only negative comment is the smaller campground by Nancy Lake proper is garbage- it needs a total overhaul. Head toward the campground by Rollly Lake deep in forest for the goods- you won't be disappointed.

If the ratings are good definitely a nice spot to view the aurora. We rented a dry cabin for an overnight trip, and we're upset we didn't book for 2 nights. We were in cabin #4 as a party of 4 adults, 1 toddler & a lab with plenty of space. This cabin could easily accommodate 6 adults comfortable, but there was bunk space for 8. There are quite a few state owned dry cabins in this area. A few of them are even newer constructions, and very nice. We thought we were going to have to snowshoe into the cabin, but to our surprise the trails were groomed for cross country skiing so it was a very easy walk to cabin #4. The only downside of renting this cabin is this area is pretty busy with skiers and snowmobilers (snowmachiners) accessing the lake. We took a few mile walk around the lake. We considered ice fishing, but didn't due to lack of daylight. We saw a few people out fishing, but Nancy lake isn't exactly known to be a fishing location. We had a very nice time staying at the dry cabins, and I think they're a really fun activity to get out in the winter time!

If you just go on your own and don't know anything about it, you may not get much out of it. We stopped here as part of an organized tour. It was interesting to hear how the Athabaskan tribe and the eastern orthodox church combined their cultures, beliefs and ways. The old log church is still there. The "new" church is next to it. Because we were on a tour, we walked through the graveyard around the spirit houses and learned bit of information and history about some specific spirit houses and who was buried there. I enjoyed it, but then I'm an odd duck and like cemeteries. Why? I don't know since I don't like creepy, scary movies and am scared of my own shadow.

We wanted to spend a day exploring the outskirts of Anchorage and Eagle River and Eklutna are about 30 miles outside of the city. One can see from just parking at the historical park that this probably won't be worth the $5 they charge at the door. Unless you are very very into Russian Orthodox culture, there is not much to see that you cannot see from the parking lot. The girl at the door never mentioned a tour so there may or may not be one available. We wandered around ourselves to the old church and then the new church. There are a number of spirit boxes which we found interesting as well as some of the information available in the old church about the marriage of the Athabascan and Russian Orthodox culture. You can probably get in and out in less than half an hour but like I said, only go if you are REALLY into Athabascan or Russian Orthodox culture.

The creek is viewable from your campsite. Please DO NOT rent a pontoon boat unless you are an extremely competent rower and or have a guide with you. Me and my three buddies rented a four person pontoon boat and nearly drowned as we encountered a "sweeper" (tree that has fallen and is just above the water surface, making going over it in the boat impossible.

Our boat wedged up against the tree and the current was strong and wanted to capsize our boat but did not and ultimately, after what seemed like several frantic minutes where one of us was pinned on our back and having his face smashed by a stout branch, and another was in the water and having his waders fill up with water and having to struggle to stay above the surface of the water by holding onto tree branches with all his might, we were pushed under the tree and branches with some scrapes and broken fly rods. Three of the four of us believed we were going to drown. If you want to fish this creek, just do so from the bank.
