Great park, friendly host, a little road noise at night, lake with row boats to hire short walk down the hill, lake stocked with fish would recommend this park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very small RV park. All sites are gravel. There is a small fishing lake off of the campground. TV reception was with my rabbit ears and it was pretty good. My dish antenna would not work in Alaska. In Alaska the dish must be 30 inches across at a minimum I was told. WIFI in the park depended on how close you were parked to the office. The restrooms and showers were satisfactory. The staff were ok but not what I would call friendly. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a pleasant park compared to most Alaska "gravel parking lots". Every site has trees. The road is gravel. It is a very well-kept park and the workers are very helpful and friendly. The bathrooms are immaculate. The sites are in a row, close together but the trees help the look of the park. There are no sewer hookups but there is a dump station at the entrance. If you stay a week, they come around and pump out your tanks for free. Not having 50A is a fault. Our Verizon Air Card work but was slow for internet. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Please read the previous review and you will understand exactly what the people that work/own here are like. I have never met ruder people. Not sure if they just have so much business they can afford to be that way or if they just don't care. If you do still decide to stay there make sure you don't get on the last row, which is next to the road. It is very, very loud because of the way the noise carries. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Homestead RV park you will wish you were at Home instead. 10:40 am I get a knock on the door " Are you staying another day"? Fact is I could not get my Rig level on this Uphill sloped lot so mercifully the answer was no. I am a retired Service connected disabled Vet. Homestead claims to cater to Vets and yet at 10:55 as I step out my door I am asked by Kathy " Do you want a half a day"? Now anyone can see my slideouts are in my, Truck is hooked to my trailer and my Jacks formerly down are now up. Bill has already asked if I am to stay I have replied "no". Bill looks to his watch shakes his head and gives me a pained look as if my staying there in that spot a moment longer will require he eat Mighty Dog canned Dog Food, and States it is after 11:00a.m. I look around at his empty park and I wonder why the need for such disapproving and rude behavior from a man with no customers. So I reply again" No, I had some cleaning to do, my youngest had spilled some food into the carpet and I was trying to get it up before getting on the road." I understand that check out is eleven, but they have an empty park in fact the only ones there are the owners and the work campers, Might I add forget a view lot is seems to only be for them as the reserve this row for themselves and when they do give them up it is for the overnighters who do not stay long. Yet here I am being harrassed as I finish securing my trailer which it is a scant 10:57 at this point. Now I paid $126 to stay four night and I feel as if I am dealing with a cheap hooker and my $2.00 is up and they are going to let me know it. It just ruined my day it was so petty and cheap. The RV business is a people business, did they bother to ask kindly what might be going on? is it to much to ask to use the spot in a nearly empty park to even 11:15? I rolled out at 11:01 vowing to never come back and to make sure to let others know this is not a friendly park. If you have to stay there leave before 11:00 because to this park you are just a number. You get the sense that once they have your money you no longer are welcome. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice treed site, friendly people. I got free Wi-Fi on my computer, being closer to the office. I would have given it 10 if they had sewer hookups. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a very neat, clean and well run park. Our site was long enough to leave our tow car attached to our 36' motorhome. Sites have only water and electric, no sewer or cable TV. Wi-Fi cost left a bad taste in our mouths - $3 for 1 hour or $10 for a day. You can drive a mile to the tourist info building and get free Wi-Fi in the parking lot. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice looking park with a good location, but our site left a lot to be desired. It was a very short, very narrow pull-thru; we only have a 30 ft class A, and we had to park our toad separately at the end of the row. Love the trees but we couldn't get our awning out because of them. This is a very busy park, (it looked like 90% of the sites turned over each day), that seemed to be well run and organized. The staff we dealt with were good. We paid $15.95 for a week of Wi-Fi access. All of the services we needed were close by in either Wasilla or Palmer. We'd stay here again if we could get a better site. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a nice, but somewhat older campground near the Glenn highway, about 5 miles from Palmer, Ak. Staff is helpful and friendly. Baths and showers are very clean. Nice view of mountains. Wi-fi is extra. Sites are about 25' wide with some shaded. Overall, very nice. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Not sure of rate, we were part of a caravan. Previous reviews pretty much hit it. There is not compelling reason to stay here. Ok view of mountain, but they are everywhere. This might be a better option then the parks in Anchorage, but it is a pretty good drive to get there. I pretty much skip this area if on my own. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is still the best campground in the greater Anchorage area. Owner had to terminate free WiFi because of the cost. WiFi is now available by daily subscription at a cost of $10 a day. Ouch! Free WiFi available in Palmer Library. For hikers, there are a few trail-heads nearby which provide access to nearby peaks in the Chugach Mountains. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Located near the Chugach Mountains in a rural setting. Access to Anchorage, 40 miles away, either by the old Glenn Highway or the new highway. Nice laundry, clean restrooms and showers. TV is over the air from Anchorage. Wi-Fi accessible in all sites. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Easy, level pull through sites. Owner very friendly and helpful. Grass and picnic table between sites. Quiet despite being off main highway. Beautiful view of the mountains. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The sites are easy for a big rig to get into and out of, room for a tow car behind. There is grass and a picnic table between sites. The down side - it is located just off a busy highway; although the noise is constant, there are no trucks shifting down and few sirens. The owner is pleasant and helpful. We camped here in a Motorhome.
