You can’t beat this price for 30 amp power and good-tasting water. This is a good place to overnight between Whitehorse and Fairbanks, but there’s nothing to do here: no trees and no privacy. We were almost the only people there, so it was private enough for us. Unfortunately, their flyer advertises Wi-Fi and 24-hour pay-at-the-pump, “cheap US gas,” and a café, but once you get there, you realize the flyer is somewhat optimistic. The credit-card readers are taped over, the Wi-Fi works only in the cafe (because the repeater for the RV park is on the fritz), and the café is closed (although you can sit there with your laptop). The showers and bathrooms were warm and reasonably clean. The toilet needed cleaning in the Men’s room, but everything else was fine. The staff was fine, and the closed café seemed to be a hub for local sportsmen who sat around and shot the bull. The park itself is directly over the border in the US, although it’s address is in Tok. If you’re a Good Sam member and you pay cash, the price is $18/night. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We actually stayed at this campground on our way into Alaska in early June as well as on our way south in August. The campground is not really near Tok although that is its address. As the name implies it is very near the Alaska-Yukon border. In June, we had no problem receiving wi-fi at our site, the TV reception was good, electric was good and the water pressure was fine. In August, wi-fi was only available at the restaurant but it was down on the evening we arrived. The water pressure was minimal too. We did eat at the restaurant on both visits and the food was good. The fuel pumps and sewer dump are both conveniently located and easy to access. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Handy, East of Tok, and Wi-Fi is available in the office. Office has a restaurant and gas station. Sites are reasonably level. Good place to spend the night. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
WORST establishment I have ever seen. We did not stay in the campground OR the motel. We were forced to sleep in the parking lot in the back of our Chevy Blazer. He REFUSED to help us/rent us a room because we had a dog that was over the weight limit. We were told 'Sorry. It's the rules.' When asked if he would sell us a quart of oil so we could simply _make_ it to the next town, we were told 'Its not MY problem. Sleep in your truck.' The weather was at/below 0 that night, and it was me, my wife, and our two dogs with all of our personal belongings(We were in the process of moving). When the store finally DID open at 8, all of the products were way overpriced, and you are better off staying across the border in Beaver Creek, as well as buying what you need there, as there is NO hospitality(save for the US Border Guard) until you get further into the state. Will NEVER stop there, and will recommend that none of our friends/family do. We camped here in a Truck Camper.

Muddy field with electric and water hookups. Water shut off already in mid September. Total mud pit. We would not return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This RV park is near the Teslin National Wildlife Refuge and the Canada-United States border. It sits out in the open, near a gas station/cafe/store. Wi-Fi is only available at or near the building. We paid $18 because we were paying cash; you also get a discount if you pay with cash for gas. The restrooms and showers are in the back of the main building. There are two showers, and two stalls in each bathroom. The bathrooms aren't really designed for campers--there are no hooks or counters to put things on. The faucets are reversed--hot is on the right side. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I stayed here 1 night on my way to the lower 48. It was 30 below and only electrical hook up was available. I would love to see this campground in the summer! The manager was great. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
A place to stop for the night before crossing the border into Canada. It was clean, but nothing fancy at all. They had us park near the check in building and we heard traffic coming and going all night. Definitely not a place for a lengthy stay. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
I agree with the previous review. Nothing much has changed - although we did have water, albeit very low pressure. As campgrounds go, traveling to and from Alaska, this one is okay. The ad in Milepost does state that they have cable, but they don't. It's okay for overnight and that's about it. There is a large service station on the property, which is convenient. They advertise fuel prices cheaper than Tok and they are. By a penny a gallon! The pull-thrus are nice and wide and large. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Although water was "available" it was not turned on in the campground. Television was re-broadcast over their system, and not available to everyone's RV systems. WIFI was only operable in the office area, and Good Sam discount was only offered with cash payment. The only thing to recommend it over a roadside rest stop was 30 amp electrical service. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This would be a good campground for an overnight used by small or medium RVs. It is not a campground for 38-40' rigs. The pull-thrus have too much of bend to them. There were upended chucks of RR ties for boundary markers at the sites.The roads are narrow with many trees. The sites have trees at the edge of the parking area so it would be very difficult to open slideouts. It is at MP109 of the Glenn Hwy, 16 miles from Tok. There are vault toilets, water pump and the sites are well-separated. They are laid out in 5 wheel-like groups. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed here in a 34 foot 5th wheel for one night and that was more than enough. The WI-FI only works if you go to their building; it does not work at the camp sites. The check in person was more interested in selling the evening dinner menu than giving us information about the park. The park does have trees and the pull throughs are easy to enter and exit. Water connection is at the entrance to the site so a long water hose is needed. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Easy to find, checkin person was efficient but unfriendly, easy to park, wide and treed sites, utilities at entry end of site (bring long hose and extension as not near utility bay on most RVs), advertises wifi but only can be had in/near office, cafe, etc., not in rig (will be more careful in how I ask the "wifi?" question in the future... smile), glad we only paid for one night, will stay elsewhere while in this area because of wifi. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a nice park with lots of trees which provided some privacy between our site and the next. The site was easy to get into, long and fairly level. There are full hookups with good power. There is no cable and the Wi-Fi doesn’t work at the sites but there is a “hot spot” for it. They offer a Reindeer stew dinner for $10 and a All-U-Can - Eat Sourdough breakfast for $12 but we chose to eat elsewhere. We will return again the end of August. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The staff was friendly! Verizon cel phone worked great, however the Wi-Fi only works at the office. Lots of shade and the gravel, dirt sites are fairly level. The pancake toss was great fun: I won a free $12 breakfast! You have to try their great reindeer chili served in a sourdough bread bowl. Added bonus: good truck and RV washing facilities. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Our experience will probably be different from the majority of those who stay at this campground. But we feel a need to share our situation. First off, the campground and facilities are about average for the Alaska Highway. Obviously, they cater more towards the RV's than to tenters like us. Most of their sites seemed as if they could accept a tent, plus they have some designated tent sites. These, however, seemed to be afterthoughts, and were very tight, with no privacy at all. Our dissatisfaction came in the way were we treated by both the owner and one other host. First of all, they had us down for the wrong date. Even after I offered to show the owner her e-mail confirming our changed reservation, she seemed reluctant to accept the fact. Then we were told (just as we were about to set up our tent) by another host that we were going to have to move to make room for a different party. When I resisted, his only response was, "You can go to the office, and they will refund your money." The owner also seemed in no mood to try to help us out. After insistence on my part that she try to help us out, we were finally given an RV site that had room for a tent. So things worked out OK as far as a site went. But our real concern is the way we were treated. It seemed to them as if we were not important if we didn't drive an RV. In my opinion, this is a very dangerous attitude to assume. It can come back to bite you later on. Due to this experience, we did not stay for the breakfast or utilize any of the other facilities, so we have no comment on those. We camped here in a Tent.
Very disappointed in entire facility. The gift store was sparse, we had to wait until the next day to use truck/rv wash as it was broken, breakfast was horrible: cold pancakes, cold biscuits, cold egg mixture. It certainly was not worth $12 each. Wi-Fi was only available at office area. Will not stay there again. I cannot believe it has Good Sam rating. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We arrived after Labor Day when leaving Alaska.The cafe was closed and the entertainment was gone. Without these features the price should have been reduced. WIF is only at the office. There are lots of trees for shade and separation from other sites. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
If you are going to stay in Tok, the Sourdough is the place. It has the most character of any park on the Alaska Highway. The only reason it did not get a 10 is because the Wi-Fi is very limited. Other than that, this is the perfect park with great sourdough bowl soups and breakfast. There is entertainment most nights and a pancake toss for a free breakfast. The sites have lots of trees for extra privacy. We will stay here again on the way out of Alaska. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The owners of this park come off as people who truly care about camping and are constantly working to improve things around the park. This seems true at first until you are rudely awakened by chain sawing on the site next to yours early in the morning and complain about it. They were un-apologetic and very rude in dealing with us. Instead of apologizing or making any attempt remedy the situation, they tried to get rid of us as quickly as possible and told us never to come back in addition to insulting us as we left. The whole ordeal made them seem utterly unprofessional and un-caring of their customer's opinions. This was truly the worst camping experience we've had camping in the great state of Alaska. We camped here in a Tent.
This is an excellent CG. Wooded spaces where you can barely see neighbors. Very helpful, friendly mgt. Fun nightly entertainment. Dinner and breakfasts cooked on site. Compared to the Alaska highway through Canada, where most CG's are just big parking lots with very tight spaces, this is a real treat. Paved walking/biking trail into TOK (1.5 miles) Highly recommend We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We were lukewarm about this park. It was dusty, cramped, noisy and expensive. They have Wi-Fi but it does not reach the sites; you can sit at a table outside of the office if the mosquitos don't bother you or use the cafe when they are not serving breakfast or dinner. Our site was a narrow back-in with 30 amp electric and water. We got one TV channel. The staff was friendly. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a fun campground. The campsites are spaced out adequately with vegetation between them and easy access. There are 1.5 miles south of town on the Tok cutoff; so, if you decide to go to town, you will want to drive. Fee-based Wi-Fi is available throughout the campground. Free wi-fi is available on the patio next to the office. The fun begins each evening when the owner, performs a comedy skit and “pancake toss”. Everyone gets two attempts at tossing pancakes into a bucket with the prize being a free sourdough pancake breakfast. Those were the best pancakes I have ever eaten (mine were free). They also serve dinner, reindeer chili or stew in a big fresh homemade sourdough bread bowl with homemade pie for dessert. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Fun place to stay, the owner has a pancake toss every night. There is a sourdough bowl meal available in the evening and pancake breakfast in the morning. One TV channel, Wi-fi at the office. We had a nice site, easy to access. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great park. Nice somewhat rustic RV sites. Has evening meal with entertainment and a sourdough pancake breakfast. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will return hear in the future. Free WIFI. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a real nice campground. The owners were friendly and mingled with campers. The restaurant served good food at a fair price. The nightly entertainment was real good at night. We will stay there again when in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We changed our mind about staying at Sourdough because of the rain, felt under the trees it would be very muddy, and we wanted cable TV. The Wi-Fi is free for 45 minutes and they instruct you to use it all at one time or else you won't get back on. The service worked very well at our site. The sites are tight to get in and out of because of the trees between them. Our full hookup pull-thru site was just long enough for our 33 foot 5th wheel and truck and it was level. We would probably stay here rather than Sourdough if we wanted cable TV and Wi-Fi at our site. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This campground is much larger than it appears from the highway and it has good amenities including satellite tv. Sites are plenty long and most are level. Restrooms are locked and clean and the laundry is quite large. They have live entertainment several nights a week that is very amusing. You have to pay extra for Wi-Fi service and its pretty high so we didn't use it. The air was very smoky from forest fires near Fairbanks. It was uncomfortable for both of us so if this is an issue check out conditions before planning travel. We actually paid $37.80 a night with our Good Sam discount. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
One of the better RV campgrounds in Alaska. We stayed here in our 45' coach and had plenty of room. One of the few campgrounds in Alaska to have very good 50 amp power (most are 30 amp, or less). Certainly the best campground in Tok. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A large park, excellently maintained. All facilities worked well including Wi-Fi. Free entertainment on the night we stayed. Washrooms were as good as some hotels. We would definitely stay here again in the future in preference to one of the other sites in Tok (Sourdough) which we stayed in earlier in our trip. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The sites were helter skelter and some were difficult to get into. We had to return to the office to get alternative sites from the ones originally assigned to us. WiFi was intermittent. The staff was friendly, and very helpful. Don't miss the evening show, very entertaining. We would stay there again. Tok is a very friendly town. RV repair at Walt's was fair and honest, as recommended by the staff at the RV park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Was great. The ownwer was very helpful and personable. Within walking distance to Fast Eddies which has really good food. Pet friendly with many places to walk your dog. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Pretty nice campground; sites are somewhat tight. We thought it was overpriced, however, but there was not much other choice. Park had free evening entertainment when we were there, which was good. RV/car wash on site, but cost was a bit high also. There was a constant line when we were there, so folks don't mind paying to have a clean vehicle! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very good park, very nice people. Park is very clean, well kept, with easy access. Has a car/rv wash. Highly recommend eating at Fast Eddies, almost next door to the park!! Really enjoyed our stay! We camped here in a Motorhome.
I would look elsewhere to for a place to stay if you're just traveling through. Price is way too high. We stayed there to get WI-FI but the connection was poor and they charge you $7.00 We camped here in a Motorhome.
Okay for an overnight. Over-rated/priced. Have to pay for each and everything. We did get put in the back away from noise and not jammed up because it wasn't busy. Went next morning to inquire about a fishing license and older lady which I assume is an owner was not helpful, very abrupt and not friendly. So bought license elsewhere. Will not stay here on return trip. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Not sure of rate, we were part of a caravan. This could be a nice place, but lots of rules. Wi-fi only in laundry room or for big $$$'s at site. Sites were pretty tight, our small slide came within an inch of a tree. Had to duck around trees to get around our rig. Overall a pretty clean park. Owner a bit crazy when someone pulls in the wrong way (don't use the first park entrance from the east). We camped here in a Motorhome.
Large campground with gravel sites, none too long. Cable TV. Paid $17 for car/RV wash, but there was no soap so job it did was lousy. Wifi is $7 a day We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Plenty of room and easy in and out. The wash is a pay by size of RV and they provide a brush and bucket and power rinse. Wi-Fi is OK but pay by hour or day. They do have as noted a free network cable hook up. A good place to stay before or after crossing and a chance to clean the rig. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Beautifully landscaped and convenient park. Owners and camp hosts were so friendly. Bathrooms and laundry immaculate. Terrific start to entrance to the great state of Alaska. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very large, nice park. Decent cable TV, Pay to surf via wi-fi. They do have one hard cabled DSL access port in one of the laundry rooms and internet surfing is free from that. The front office didn't seem to know that it was free, but they knew it was there and I found it. Very well kept park, clean facilities. The park offered a free Alaskana show that night in a community room. Highly recommend. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very good campground. Plenty of space between sites to put out slides or awning. Interior roads are gravel with grass area between campsites. Campground has RV/car wash, but it is expensive compared to other campgrounds we have used. Good Wi-Fi internet service, but it is pay as you go with a third party vendor. Cable TV is available with limited channel selection. Bathrooms are modern and clean. We will stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We had a large pull-thru with plenty of space, set back off the road so no road noise to speak of. Trees, fire rings (banned because of the wildfire threat). Our site was clean, level and private and long enough that we did not have to unhook the toad. Wi-Fi was available in their building. We would camp here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I thought this was a nice campground. The gravel interior roads were good, gravel sites level and our pull-through was long enough for our big rig and truck. It is heavily treed but getting in and out is still easy and plenty of room for our slides. There is quite a bit of space between sites and they are separated by trees and bushes. Also there were minimum mosquitoes-always nice. It's a short drive to town and there is very little road noise-a nice, quiet place. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a large, older RV park. We stayed there for two nights in a 34 foot 5th wheel. The sites were large, wooded, gravel base and level sites. Water, power and sewer were handy for each site. This a park that RV caravans use. The park was quite but not real close to the main part of the town. We would stay there again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very pleasant, level and spacious sites. All are in a nice setting with many trees. Showers are free and there is a laundromat, vehicle wash, dump station and even a cocktail lounge. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice wooded sites very well spaced out and well off the hwy. Also for $7 you can wash your rig for however long it takes -- especially worth it when coming in to Tok via the Top of the World Highway. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
