Little Nelchina State Recreational Area is at MP 174.8 which is about 95 miles from Palmer. It sits right on the Little Nelchina River. We have stopped there 3 times. Since we don't fish I can't speak to what is in the river but have seen people fishing there each time we stopped.
It is a FREE campground with no services. Several sites on the upper level are large enough to take a 45' motorhome but the ones on the lower level are for smaller units. A very nice place to stop off for the night.
We watched rafts being put in here.
I took a couple of photos of the river. You can see them at the website in my signature. Go to the box marked "2009 Photos - Alaska" and select the "Alaska, May 5 to Jun 16" tab. We were there on Jun 15 so if you don't want to go through all of the photos, then just scroll through them backwards and you will get to the Nelchina River photos much quicker.
