Alaska - is generator required

Do most camp grounds have hook-ups or should we take along a generator? Thanks.

  • If you are driving from South Carolina to Alaska and back, take a generator. You might never use it, or you might need it many times, but anything above zero is worth having it along.
  • Well,,,,,they do take US currency. They report temperatures and wind in Deg F and MPH. Newspapers are published in English. The real estate market is liquid but does not suffer a melt-down every spring and become totally liquid.

    Federal, State and Provincial campgrounds do not have power or water to the site, rare exceptions. Commercial campgrounds have power and water from about 1 June to 1 September, and some have waste at the site also. If you like boondocking in gravel pits and such take a generator.
