RV and tenting

Tonsina River Lodge

are OPEN for the season.

          Tonsina Lodge has amenities at the edge of the wilderness. We are less then two miles from Richardson and Edgerton highways intersection, so it's very convinient to stay with us and make a day trips to Valdez (1h 45min), Chitina (45min) or McCarthy/Kennicott (2h 30min). We have 24/7 access to clean bathrooms with flush toilets & sinks. We have laundromat and shower facilities.

Tonsina Lodge has a very nice natural setting. Our Campground is bordered by forest, Tonsina River and Bernard Creek. The waters are full of fish: Salmon, grayling, & Dolly Warden! Tree lined bluffs rise above us to the east, north and west.
        Tonsina Lodge's weather & climate are uncommonly good. We have a very pleasant microclimate: warm, dry and calm with very few insects. This makes for wonderful evenings.

Also, the sunlight and sound of the river here have special qualities that defy words.

Come enjoy the summer with us. :)

Special Note: We have special events throughout the year. We have rooms available in our motel for guests to stay at Tonsina in style all year long, but Summertime is a special time here at Tonsina. Camping and RV'ing are excellent economical ways to take part in the festivities at Tonsina. There were many times in 2009-2010 when small tent cities sprung up. It was very nice to see so many people enjoying good times together.

         If open camping isn't your cup of tea, the beautiful state owned Squirrel Creek Campground is located about 1/4 mile north of Tonsina Lodge and is also open all summer long. Squirrel Creek Campground offers very nice and semi secluded wooded campsites. Whether you choose free camping at Tonsina Lodge or pay for a spot in Squirrel Creek, you will enjoy a very nice setting.
Have fun camping and RV'ing in 2011. There's no time like now to get out and enjoy Alaska! The Beautiful Copper River region Invites You!
