Our campground (at mile 100.5 on the Richardson Highway 4) is located on the banks of the Klutina River, home to some of the world's best red and king salmon -- and it's only feet away from your campsite. We offer full or electric hook-ups for RVs, as well as dry camping and cabins. Come enjoy the Alaskan scenery at King For A Day Campground. We also offer full day fishing charters include a raft float down river and 4-wheel ATV transport 25 miles up river to the launch site. We have bank fishing lessons as well; 3 hours or 3 sockeye salmon, whichever comes first (usually the fish come first). Amenities include hot showers, flush toilets, laundromat, ice, fire wood, freezer space for rent, dump station for RVs that stay overnight with us. Small store selling fishing gear, laundry soap, and souvenirs. Pole and boot rentals. We look forward to your stay with us!
We had a group of 6 stay in the two cabins for 3 nights. They are very basic but we just needed a place to sleep. There was a grill and a stove burner. Pots, pans, utensils and microwave were included in the cabin. Both cabins had flush toilets snd a sink. But no hot water. Showers and laundry were available by the office. We did a full day guided fishing trip and had a blast. It was a very long day over a very bumpy road and floated 24 miles but we caught fish and didn’t see any other boats on the river. Don’t expect luxury but if you want a unique experience KFAD is worth it.

Response from King For A Day Campground, Owner at King For A Day Campground & RV Park

Thanks, Amanda, for taking time to write a review. Return customers often say we never fail to deliver the most unique and fun charter they've been on, thanks to the skill of our amazing guides who teach and help you experience the great fishing the Klutina River offers. We are constantly making improvements as time and money allows. Our newest addition are 6 seater side by side ATVs to transport our charter guests up that bumpy road for a fun and faster trip. Our guests say the side by side ride is an excursion in itself! The salmon runs are excellent this year with the kings running very large, and we are allowed to retain 2 per person (instead of the usual 1 ). Our sockeye run is also exceptional this year both in numbers and size. Hope to see you again real soon!

Great location. Quiet due to less tourists. We had two nights. Water and electricity hook up worked fine. Views were nice. No showers due to COVID. They seemed to have great fishing charters on rafts full day 12 hour trip. Most excellent camp host “Craig”. Offered great fishing advice.

This Campground has it ALL for your Alaskan adventure. Situated on the Klutina river, the campsites are nice and big. Full, partial and dry sites. Free showers, pay laundry, bank fishing for copper river sockeye. The owner is amazing! Making constant improvements to make your stay enjoyable. Great staff!! They have a store with tackle, Diomond Willow, knives, bug spay, cooking needs, art, and even items for children!! We will continue to use this Campground because it feels like home with return customers and meeting new people!! Thank you KFAD for summer enjoyment

The most impressive aspect of our experience with KFAD was the crew’s - Marie, Kevin, Dan, Skylar - Professionalism.
We visited KFAD twice on our trip. First, was to do the ½ day rafting-fishing guided trip. Second, we returned to camp, and I did the onshore fishing guided tour. Both times, we caught nice sockeyes. Our experience was fabulous, great learning experiences, and exceeded our expectations! (despite the timing being toward the end of the season – August).
Situated right on the river, it was safe, fun and quiet. Facilities were clean. Just beautiful. Definitely- We’ll be back! (..and do both guided trips - rafting/fishing AND the on-shore guided fishing tour).

We had water, electricity, trees, eagles, fishing, very nice office people. Friendly neighbors/campers. There were a lot of mosquitoes…. But we came prepared, and the cute lady at the office really helped with a better mosquito spray! It was just nice😊

We absolutely LOVE camping at King for a day in copper Center. This is our 3rd year coming back and getting our same spot too! The staff are so kind and helpful. Bathrooms & showers are great. They are kept really clean. The river fishing is awesome! The guides are the best in the area. Very knowledgeable about fishing and the river. Highly recommend staying here. You won’t be disappointed! Can’t wait for next year!

If you are looking for an enjoyable camping experience, that offers guided fishing trips on the Klutina Rivera, than King for a Day is the ideal choice. Our guide, Skylar, knows the river very well. We caught our limit within a couple of hours, and thoroughly enjoyed the rafting trip back to our campsite. The campground staff, Christy, Aspen, and Craig, are genuine and welcoming, and our camping neighbors quickly became our friends. Our next trip to Alaska, will definitely include a stop at King for a Day.

We spent almost 3 weeks at King for a Day campground. We had a nice private spot for two trailers. Laundry. Showers and bathrooms we nice. We could walk down to the river or hike up to the mouth. The owner Skyler and Dominique work really hard to make it fun for all. We will stay there again!

We had a great time at King for a Day campground. The reason we selected this place after our internet research was the idea of being able to camp and go for a guided fishing trip from the same place. We were able to set up our RV and go fishing without having to leave the campground. Our guide, Skylar (the "Sockeye Slayer"), was absolutely superb. All four of us caught our full limit of both Sockeye and Kings. All of that said, I would be remiss not to mention Christy who made sure to make our stay the best possible and who solved all of our problems along with Aspen who went out of her way to help us with any need. Our group plans to return over and over again.
