Sweetnoni: I don't think I can help much with Anchorage as we didn't do much there except stock up on groceries or parked easily and walked to where we wanted like the Visior Center or a restaurant. We preferred to see Alaska, not another city. :)
As far as the state campgrounds, we also found that not all have water/dump but there are many optional places to do so. Tonymull's post above stated it well. Denali Nat'l Park has an excellent water fill/dump area. The Meijers store in Soldotna also has one on their parking lot. So, yes, there are many places of all kinds including gas stations. Also ask at RV parks even if you're not staying there.
I'd suggest you purchase online Mike and Terri Church's 'Alaskan Camping' book. It will be your bible for campgrounds of all kinds and boondocking areas. They also give 'water and dump' suggestions.
Another good purchase is the 'TourSaver 2/1 Coupon Book'. One glacier cruise will pay for it and you'll want to do at least one.
