Tanana Valley Campground and RV Park — Hotel in Alaska

Location is good, and campground has trees. However that is where nicities end. The trash bin is overflowing, the bathrooms are under renovation (?): That is drywall has been put in place, but paint is missing. The electrical outlets do not have covers and are therefore dangerous! The stall walls and doors are dirty vaneer. No paint. Shower curtains have been cut (probably to be used in several showers)so that it barely closes the shower. Shower curtain as a shower compartment door. One out of two showers had hot water. Two toilets, but only one works well. Only one sink in ladies room, no countertops, no seats, nothing to put your things on. No mirror. The shower stalls have one rusty old metal chair each. The door does not shut properly. And the door frame is under construction. The facilities are too small for this campground, even if all the toilets would work. When I went in last night there were 4 ladies outside lining up for their turn in shower. In the inside was about 10 kids and few more adults. And it is not that big of the space.

NEVER saw the host and the office was always closed when I was in the campground. They seem to...

I made reservations and was given site AA which is outside the entrance of the campground, at the edge of the entry road, and across a noisy fair. When I made the reservation I was not told any of this information. In addition our camp site did not have a table, which the brochure states all sites have tables & fire pits. When I called to see if we could get a table I was informed that nothing could be done and no table provided. I was not at all pleased with the service or camp site. I cancelled our 4-night reservation on the phone with Buddy and have yet to receive my promised refund for 3 nights of camping - Buddy explained that I would only be charged for 1 night and my cancellation accepted. I have written 3 messages to check on my reimbursement and have received no reply or reimbursement. This all happened 2 weeks ago and I am very dissatisfied with my whole experience with Tanana...

When I book a campsite, at a minimum I expect a designated site and a picnic table. If you book sites 28 through 30, which are advertised as non-electric sites for RV’s, you will be directed to a gravel area at the entrance next to the side of the road. There are no dedicated sites, no picnic tables, nothing. Although some of the other electric sites are in a wooded area and are nicer, the bathrooms are extremely basic and the floor is wet around the toilets and throughout the building. The showers are lukewarm at best. The staff are very understanding, however, it doesn’t change the fact that the online booking system map is not a true rendering of the reality and the facilities are sub-par. I’m not exactly sure what I’m paying for.

Do yourself a favour and stay in the Walmart parking lot or just park...
