"As an after thought, there's a campground that's about $16/night with showers, dump station, but no hookups in Tok, called the Alaskan Stove Campground."
Just a minor correction. This campground does have electric hookups.
As for those anti-Walmart-overnighting people. Get over it. If you want to pay $40 or more to spend 8 hours sleeping during transit stages, that is your decision to make.
In addition to all the $ we saved, we enjoyed the lack of crowds, noise, campfire smoke, mosquitoes, and checkout times.
Nailed it in one sentence.
