Here is a list of site from our web page. Over the years we have stayed at many/most of them, especially the private commercial ones. In a normal cool summer when we don't need plugins, we stay in more remote governmental campgrounds, and during a hot smoky summer we will more often be at a commercial campground plugged into electricy to run our AC.
http://www.pajbcooper.com/campgrounds.htmAs with everything else, campgrounds change, some open and other close. A couple of these may have closed since our last trip in 2011. The Homestead CG in Palmer in now closed permanently and was our favorite in the area. In some places it isn't a matter of which is best, but which is acceptable. Some locations, the parking lot at Fred meyer is the choice of many. I don't care for pavement camping but as they say, at times, "any port in a storm will do."
Not sure if Grizzly Bear CG up by Cantwell, near the entrance to Denali Park is open or not as it was reported closed sometime back.
We often split our stays between the private and government run campgrounds. Cooler summers we stay more in the more rustic campgrounds without utilities and hot smoky summers we are plugged in more at private campgrounds.
On this list of private campgrounds in Alaska, I have a few photos of some of the campgrounds, a few I have never stayed at or seen, but listed them if they were thought to exist at the time I was doing this page.
