Pros: The campground is well kept, bathrooms feature flushing toilets & a shower in the "comfort station". The gal in the office was very nice, helpful, & professional.

Cons: The trails are NOT well marked, the map at the entrance of park is vaguely accurate but there are very few signs on the trails themselves. Some trails lead straight to the camping spots. The bathrooms are locked at 10pm each night and not unlocked until 8am the following morning. The Palmer Airport is across the hwy from the park and the landing flight path is directly over the campground so sleeping in a tent proved challenging outside the hours of about midnight to 6am.

Spent 3 nights, bathrooms and showers aren't maintained or clean. Barely adequate. Wouldn't go back. Had to ask for soap and TP to be put in bathroom. Never saw anyone clean them.

The campground is close to the Matanuska River with trails to the river directly from the campground. We had electricity at our site.

Has a decent playground that’ll keep the youngsters entertained for a couple hours. There’s a volleyball pit equipped with a net and open grassy fields. The pavilions are covered and contain picnic tables and a bbq grill. Campground is satisfactory and prices are average. Restrooms are typical and clean. The hiking trails to the river are satisfactory and an easily hiked. All in all its a great place.

Beautiful campground with optional electric or water hookups, hiking trails and private spaces for tent camping. Definitely recommend. (Note: across from Palmer air strip, morning traffic can be noisy beginning between appx 7a-9a)

Wish I could rate with a 2.5 star, because it wasn’t entirely a bad experience. Nice campground conveniently in Palmer. The road into and around the campground is narrow so be mindful of other vehicles. Some of the tent sites were quite small with the RV spots being stacked like sardines. Airport right across the street so be prepared to be woken up at 6/7 in the morning with airplanes taking off or landing till about 10/11 at night. Saw some pretty cool planes flying overhead. Main bathroom is only open from 8 am to 10 pm. Kept pretty clean with only one shower available. Other than that you will have to locate the other bathroom facility in the campground unless you have an RV.
Nice place to stay and the kids enjoyed the playground access but likely will not reserve a site in the future.

the parks and parking places are nice and maintained, but when i came to check if i should really book a spot, i saw the showers were not maintained at all.

Beautiful drive along the river some narrow spots for larger vehicles but just take your time on those and they'll be great.
