Stayed here one night while returning north from Valdez. Located 7 miles from the main (north / south) Richardson Hwy. down a nicely paved road (Edgerton Hwy.) with vast views of Wrangell-St. Elias mountain range and valley. The campground suits it's purpose of providing most of a RVers needs being so far from a real city. Nice stocked grocery store, gift shop, laundry, dump station, water fill and gas and diesel ($$$). The electric (30 amps) sites ( about 10 sites) are on gravel like parking lot and are level and plenty of room to back into. The only issue is they back up near the road. Since this is the main road out of Wrangell St. Elias and McCarthy / Kennicott you do get some road noise. The other 10 are non serviced sites set back in the woods farther away from the road in a nice wooded area. Too bad there was no electric service there. They are nice and private sites, mostly pull-thru's. The Wi-Fi they claim can't be received from the campsites. But if you sit on the porch by the store you can get something done. The showers are "pay" showers. For campers the dump and water fill are included. I think we paid $35 for a electric site. Main reason we stayed here was to do our laundry which the locals used also. Very nice laundry facilities. Normally this would be a 3 star rating, but with the services offered in this remote section of Alaska, I'll give it a 4 star rating...
