ALASKA

[Pete Peters]

Has anyone pulled a TT to Alaska? We leave for 2 1/2 months in June. Reserved campsites all across US and Canada . I also have reserved one site in Alaska. My question is should I be concerned about reserving other sites in Alaska? Neighbor has been twice with motor home said they never reserved any sites just made sure they got to campsite by 1:00 or so for first come first serve.
Any tips would be appreciated. We have the Milepost book and also a campgrounds book. Is the Great Alaskan Coupon book worth buying?

Thanks

We went to Alaska several years ago. We bought the coupon book and ended up using it on a Kenai Fjords tour that more than paid for it. Check Ebay and see if you can find a discounted one closer to when you leave.

Are you going to Seward? If so, highly recommend Miller's Landing campground. That one I would reserve a bay front site. Incredible view!

Thanks the new book does not have the Kenai tours. I read where a lot of the tours felt they were loosing money with coupons. Still lots of good coupons so I think we will buy it.

How about airplane tour of the glaciers? We were going to do that, but the weather didn't cooperate.

Yes will be visiting Seward will check into that campground.

We rented some motor homes a couple of years ago in Anchorage.Drove all around with no plans. Never needed reservations.

It's fantastic. A real feel of the "old Alaska" complete with pot belly stove and old timers sitting around it in the office. We parked our Class A rental on our site, went to bed, and in the morning the tide had come in and I thought we were floating when we looked out the front window.
The road to the campground can be a bit pot holey, just need to take your time to avoid bottoming out.

Spent 2 weeks in Alaska 2 years ago.. Cannot wait to pull my 5vr up and spend some time.. just be careful of what they call a road.. Even the highways are unique from the permafrost.
