free camping for a van with a rooftop tent?
Hi there My boyfriend and I are going to be on a road trip in Canada and Alaska with our van and roof top tent in June & July this year. We are going to be in Alaska over the 4th of July long weekend...

Seward is over run with campers in the summer. When we were there last summer they had taken a baseball diamond out of baseball service and marked out RV parking spaces on the diamond, put a solar powered parking ticket dispenser by the gate and charged by the night to park/ camp on the ball diamond. There were a couple other places in town that had the same setup.
Homer wasn't as bad. We were able to get into a campground on the spit with great views of the water, but it was very windy. That might be a problem for your tent.But there were tents set up not out as far on the spit.Pretty noisy near them from the flapping in the breeze.
Fairbanks--- the Walmart had every conceivable type of RV in the parking lot, except for a van with a tent on it!
Skagway is a pretty small town, but I think there were some pulloffs near the town.
Have a great trip.
Valdez puts on a super 4th of July event. All day free events free Supper and City sponsored campfire complete with do it yourself Smores. Then fireworks. Although fireworks just aren't the same when it isn't dark!!:)
