We originally booked for 3 nights. Ended up extending for another 8 nights. It is safe, clean and within walking distance of the train station and downtown! The park is surrounded by trees. The park is also located next to train tracks. We enjoyed the schedule of trains coming and going as well as the F-22 jets that occasionally flew close by from Almenforf Air Force Base. We love watching both trains and jets! Neither one were active at night. The staff team are fun and helpful! They drive... Read More

We love watching both trains and jets! Neither one were active at night. The staff team are fun and helpful! They drive through the park multiple times a day and a security company drives through as well. We felt safe and park is secure. We used the laundry and shower facilities as well. All very clean and stocked appropriately. We highly recommend this RV park for your Anchorage stay!

It is in a getto area of Anchorage, two train tracks on the other side of a fence!! Low flying aircraft overhead constantly, homeless people wandering in the neighborhood area, we did not feel safe here.

Anchorage Ship Creek RV Park is right in the heart of town. If you’re looking for something close to downtown, then you’ll potentially like this park. Like any RV park, there are positives and negatives. I’ll start with the good: The staff is friendly and accommodating. The location allows for easy walking or biking into downtown Anchorage. There’s easy access to the bike trails in Anchorage. It’s close to bars, restaurants, The Ulu Factory, etc. Now for the bad: This park is essentially a big... Read More

Anchorage Ship Creek RV Park is right in the heart of town. If you’re looking for something close to downtown, then you’ll potentially like this park. Like any RV park, there are positives and negatives. I’ll start with the good: The staff is friendly and accommodating. The location allows for easy walking or biking into downtown Anchorage. There’s easy access to the bike trails in Anchorage. It’s close to bars, restaurants, The Ulu Factory, etc. Now for the bad: This park is essentially a big gravel lot. The sites are so close together that you can hardly open your slides. WiFi is not good. The park is really close to active railroad lines, busy streets, and an airport. It’s not quiet. Anchorage has a surprisingly large population of homeless people, and they’re never too far away. We never felt unsafe, but you can occasionally hear their loud jibbirish late at night. The bottom line is that you’re paying for access to Anchorage when you book at this park. I never bothered putting out my camp chairs, because I don’t think they would have fit between my slides and my neighbor’s slides.

Very well-maintained facility. Staff is very helpful and polite. Seems to be the most secure RV park in Anchorage. This is important as there’s a large homeless population in downtown Anchorage. We’ve stay here a total of 30 days over multiple stays this summer and no problems. The park is next to the train tracks and there’s several trains go by every day with loud horns, but it’s a trade-off we’re willing to make.

After traveling the Alaska Highway we stopped twice - once before our visit to the Kenai peninsula and once after our Kenai time. We stayed in this RV park both times. We are a 37 foot fifth wheel and need a space that will accommodate us--which they had. The restrooms and laundry were secure with a code and were clean and well-kept. The park was pleasant and located within walking distance of downtown Anchorage with lots to do for visitors. During our first stay we left our grill outside and... Read More

After traveling the Alaska Highway we stopped twice - once before our visit to the Kenai peninsula and once after our Kenai time. We stayed in this RV park both times. We are a 37 foot fifth wheel and need a space that will accommodate us--which they had. The restrooms and laundry were secure with a code and were clean and well-kept. The park was pleasant and located within walking distance of downtown Anchorage with lots to do for visitors. During our first stay we left our grill outside and our propane tank and grill tools were stolen - when we reported it we learned that there was a theft problem at the park. We kept everything locked up during the second stay. We went to The Bridge restaurant where were had or first go at king crab legs. They were good and the view was good as well. We also watch folks fish at the bridge for salmon that were starting to come up the river there. It was fun to actually see the salmon swimming in the water and the anglers trying to catch them. We did a city tour and had a good narrator. It was the last tour of the day and we were worried that due to the number of folks that showed up, we would not be accommodated but we were. We were also there on a day that they had the farmers market, Very few actual produce items and lots of handmade Alaskan craft items. We actually bought our Ulu knives there for $20 less than what the Ulu factory was asking for by the same craftsman and similar design. We were also told by the city tour operator to have the fried halibut at the farmers market which we did and it was very good.

The park appears to be well maintained and the check in was easy and staff very friendly. Unfortunately it can not off-set the fact that trains pass by ever 3 to 4 hours day and night and with a train crossing at the entrance they sound their whistles 3 to 4 times prior to the crossing. Last night this was at 10:30, around 3AM in the morning and again about 5:30 AM. We've camped in sites where the train rumbles by or near a highway so are use to that. The whistle is annoying, especially when it... Read More

We stayed at the park for 3 days. The park is spotless and the managers keep the grounds very well maintained. The train is a bit loud when it rumbles by but we are in Alaska doing our trip of a life time and we didn't mind the train. The office staff is very nice and will organize any tours you want to go on. We would stay again!

The best thing about the park is that it is close to downtown Anchorage. That said there are many things to dislike. The location is not in a good area. Not only does the train track parallel the park, but the area is an industrial zone. I would not want to walk to or from the downtown area in the dark; many people were taking taxis. The park itself suffers from overcrowding. The spaces are so small that we could not put out our awning due to the next RV being so close. Although there was... Read More

The best thing about the park is that it is close to downtown Anchorage. That said there are many things to dislike. The location is not in a good area. Not only does the train track parallel the park, but the area is an industrial zone. I would not want to walk to or from the downtown area in the dark; many people were taking taxis. The park itself suffers from overcrowding. The spaces are so small that we could not put out our awning due to the next RV being so close. Although there was a picnic table it was virtually unusable due to space constraint. The next pedestal was 2 feet from our front door making it inconvenient to enter and exit the trailer. Finally, the park is at the bottom of a cliff on the city side making TV difficult to receive and there is no cable. There is nothing for kids to do and no space devoted to play. The owners are diligent though. They were spreading stones on the main drive to preclude potholes from developing, mowing what little grass there is and keeping the central office/laundry/bathrooms clean. Overall, the Goods Sam rating is fair.
