It is 4000 miles from Houston to Tok, Alaska. Tok is the first town you will come to after you enter the state. If you traveled 500 miles per day you could get there in 8 days. Traveling 500 miles per day is not realistic on the roads you will encounter. 300 is more realistic and this can be a long day. Also, there are things to see along the way and these stops might limit you to 200 miles a day. A trip to Alaska is not about the destination, it is about the sights along the way up and back. Take your time and enjoy the trip of a lifetime. I never had a reservation during my 12,000 mile trip and never had trouble finding a place to camp. However we stayed in very few campgrounds and those that we did were public campgrounds. There are limitless pull off's along the route through Canada and Alaska that one can stay the night.
