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.
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.
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.
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.
