We stayed here five nights. The sites here are level but very close together with not a lot of eye appeal. The staff was friendly and made glacier cruise reservations for us; a cruise shuttle picked us up at the campground office. A plus is that we could walk to "downtown" from the campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Sites are not wide or long. We had to park our car across the campground road in the boat storage area.The online website states Wi-Fi however we could not get connected. On the plus side it is a short walk to town and the surrounding mountains are beautiful. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The rate of $29 is for up to 3 people. For my family of four we had to pay an extra $3 per night for one of our kids. The restrooms and showers are very nice but there are only two. They have cable hook-up. Hosts are friendly. Sites are a little close together but we would stay here again over the other places in town. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is our second time here. This year the monthly rate for our 50amp/full hook-up site is $640.00. $ 21.00 a night ! What a deal! The views are fantastic. Every night in June (until the salmon run) they feed the eagles right here in the park. Fabulous pictures and terrific people. If you come to Valdez there's no better park in town ! We camped here in a Motorhome.
WOW!! We came for a week - we're staying a month. Fabulous scenery and all of the people, including other RVers are exceptionally nice. This park is our hands-down favorite of all the parks we've stayed at in Alaska. Everything in town is within walking distance. Including the small boat harbor. A short drive away is Allison Point - the pink salmon were here during our stay - simply amazing to see! If you're in Valdez, don't miss it or this RV Park! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Gravel parking lot, not much space between sites. Cable was only working in half the park. Short walk across the street to Stan Stephens cruise. Showers clean and free, however they close for cleaning between 10 am and noon. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Large parking lot in downtown area with relatively narrow gravel sites. Fishing village ambiance, and right in the middle of everything, directly across street from small boat harbor. Good wifi and great cable tv selection. Surrounded by mountains. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Great place. Across the street from Small Boat Harbor. Mountains all around. Eagles soared all around us. This was our 2nd visit and well worth the drive. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Sites are tight, but everyone is friendly, lots of RV's that have been coming for years, canning and smoking salmon. Great place to stay if staying long term in Valdez.. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground is right on the water. The only problem was the salmon were running and there were dead fish all over the place. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Not sure of rate, we are part of a caravan. This is one of the best parks we have stayed in so far. The first with 50 amps, water, sewer, wi-fi and cable too. It is also the first one that allows rig washing on site. We washed the car only as we are heading back down through more construction when we leave. We have been walking to pretty much everything and have not needed our toad yet. We will use it to go back up to the waterfalls and the old Valdez location, and to see the pipeline terminal. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The overall experience camping here has been great. The staff are welcoming and very helpful. The park has great location clean modern facilities. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice park. You can walk to everything in town. Wi-Fi was very good, and 50 amp power was very nice. They have 2 shower rooms and laundries; one in office and one in the adjacent gas station. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Good place overall to stay while in Valdez. The best part was the very fast internet which is lacking in most of Alaska & the Highway. It is an easy walk to the dock or town and right next to a great grocery store. The reason it goes down to a 7 is the fact that it was a little too expensive and no character in the campground. However, the high mountains in the back are pretty cool. Sites are easy to park; long, & wide for all rigs. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a very friendly and well-managed campground. The setting is magnificent. Sites are roomy and easy to get in and out of. Our only complaint was that the WiFi was very inconsistent. Valdez is a great place to visit. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Except for the fact that this is another large gravel parking lot, the people running this place were the friendliest of any RV park we encountered on our month long trip. What facilities we used were clean. We traveled with our kids and at least they had a large grassy area for them to run around on. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Large park with easy access. A plus is the Service Station on the property with diesel and propane, and enough room to fuel without disconnecting the towed vehicle, also, a full grocery store within one block of the campground. Friendly, helpful staff. We will be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great park for Alaska, staff is the best in AK, you can wash your rig at your site for free, this is huge in Ak. Park is close to everything. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice park, clean and well kept. It's all gravel, but that's not unusual up in Alaska. They also have a fish cleaning station that is top notch. Walking distance to everything in town. Excellent staff, almost all seasonal people. The wifi was a bit problematic, until I fixed their configuration. Would I go back? Absolutely! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The park has a great location near gas station, grocery store, within walking distance of downtown - but then almost all parks are in Valdez. It is noisy near the roads and near the gas station. The sites are level, full hookups, including 50 amp, but not overly large. There is no landscaping. It looks as good or better than others in town - all appear similar. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The location (on Prince William Sound, directly across from the Oil Pipeline Terminus) is the biggest selling point for this campground. It is big-rig friendly, but the electric service is terrible. Listed as 20 amp service, our surge protector kept tripping off, not from high voltage, but from low (101-103 volts). We couldn't run a hair drier and microwave at the same time. Despite this disadvantage, we modified our daily activities to enjoy viewing the fishing boats, sea otters and the rest of the harbor. There is a dump station on site. The staff was friendly and helpful. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Gravel parking lot, no shade. (But that's what we expected). We were only about 30' from the sea otters at play out our rear window and great views all around. Strong, free wi-fi at our site. A few of the waterfront sites have 20 amp, so look before you park. We would definitely return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We found that most of the RV parks in Valdez are of the gravel parking lot variety, but chose the Sea Otter RV Park because it is away from the highway and therefore not so noisy, and because of the incredible view from our ocean front site. The park is about 24 years old, but is somewhat "down at the heels", but clean and well maintained. Make sure you watch out for the hole in the floor in the laundry area! A nice perk is the free popcorn! There are beautiful potted flowers around the office to dress things up a bit. This park also had shuttle service provided by some of the local tour operators. What The Sea Otter lacked in modern amenities was more than made up for by it's location in our opinion. We would definitely stay there again just to watch the sea otters playing in the water right outside our motorhome windows. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Big gravel parking lot, but stunning scenery of Prince William Sound if you have a waterfront site or no one in front of you. Owner keeps pet wild bunnies and they are everywhere, although you must not in any way harrass them. Facility is old, worn and rustic but met our needs and we couldn't get over the view. Oil pipeline terminus is directly across the sound. Would definitely go back. We camped here in a camper.
