There is a Alaska DNR campground on the Eagle River about 10 miles north of Anchorage that is beautiful!

Also a DNR campground about 20 miles south of Anchorage.

Eagle River Campground

Bird Creek Campground

Thanks, No power there I believe?

Will let someone who's RV'd there confirm, but based strictly on tenting there in '17 (and driving through the CG), I don't believe there is power at the ER location....and probably not a Bird Creek either (power and/or sewer at individual sites are not common in Alaska DNR / Park facilities).

With the current state of the roads, depending on one's rig and assuming you don't drive with rush hour traffic, the Big Bear Park mentioned above (and / or the park that's actually on the Palmer side) is only about 20-30 minutes from Eagle River.....
