Nice respite on way to Valdez

We stayed here on our way to and from Valdez. It is a very well kept rv park and it was a treat to have a cafe right on the premises as there aren’t many options in this remote location. It has beautiful mountain views. They offered all the amenities you could ask for......clean showers, laundry, hook ups, dump station and potable water......the employees and owners were very friendly and helpful. I’m not sure what some of these reviewers were looking for, but you couldn’t ask for a nicer rv park in a remote location like this. The restaurant offers dinners and breakfasts (not sure about lunch) and even coffee and chai lattes. I highly recommend staying here.

Great location, professional & friendly staff, BUT.....

Great location, fantastic views. Staff is helpful, professional and friendly. I have a mixed review because, well, the food was miex. Great fresh salads, but the core of main courses were lacking. Its pretty clear the burgers are pre-made, frozen. We saw a fabulous pizza on a neighboring table, and decided to order the gluten fee option. Wow - don't order it, it is not at all fresh or similiar to the regular pizza - its as if you get punished for being gluten free, and really it was worse than a frozen toni's pizza. I make much better at home. Laundry - this is the height of the season yet two of the three washing machines in the laundry were out of order; glad I don't have much laundry to do. This has the potential of being a 5 star RV park & Cafe - but needs some elevation.

Hello Lisa, Thank you for taking the time to review our business. I am happy to see you liked the overall experience as far as our location, staff and level of friendliness and professionalism. We do our very best to provide what we feel are quality ingredients in our cafe, but please take into account that at our rural location, we must freeze food items because of our distance from a food supplier. We are known for our pizzas and like to provide a Gluten Free option, but the issue is that our kitchen is not Gluten Free. For that reason, we purchase Udi Brand GF Crusts. If you make a GF Crust from scratch, it must be used right away because of the alternative flours used, and so that is not an option in our situation. I am GF and like that they are thin crust and our servers say we get compliments on them from those happy to have an option and they thank us for providing that. Re: The washing machines...mechanical things break. We would be thrilled if they never broke, but they just do. We are located 2 hours from any parts supplier, and often we have to have parts shipped out to us that takes several days. They have been repaired since your review.

Spectacular

Well maintained, great views and super staff. Cafe pizza was good. Orville, Joe & Katida were an exceptional wait staff and very friendly. Sitting at the outside picnic table watching Dall Sheep on the mountain was a thill!

Thank you for your review. We hope if you are ever in the area again, you will stop by for a visit!

We stayed one night here before hiking the Matanuska Glacier the following day. Quiet, very clean and tidy throughout the camp, nice views, access to some easy hiking to the bluff, staff was friendly and they have great pizza 👍 pic is a view of the campground looking down from our hike above.
