What do you get when you mix a bunch of kids, a wide-open campground, and a little bit of dirt?
F.U.N. Especially when it’s camping.
Does your family go camping, whether in a tent, RV, or public use cabin?<—-cabins count in Alaska, since most cabins are in pretty remote places and are very similar to camping.
Ours took a shakedown trip to Eagle River Campground last weekend so we could get to know our new RV from Great Alaskan Holidays. It’s a big rig with lots of buttons, doors, and instructions, and we needed to figure out some of that important stuff in “real camping time.” We also just wanted to get out of town for a while (Do your parents ever say that? Mine did, and usually it meant we’d go camping.).
Eagle River Campground is one of those places we drive by often but never stay, mostly because it’s only 15 minutes from Anchorage and near
Were you raised to spend summer nights in a canvas tent, cooking meals over a campfire and playing until all hours among the leafy trees and rocky streams? I was, and so were many of my friends. My parents would pack the VW Bus with sleeping bags, coolers, boots, extra clothes, and that smelly canvas tent and away we’d go, sometimes to a real campground but more often to some remote place at the end of a logging road in Washington or Oregon.
What do I remember? Oh my, the smell of bacon in my dad’s old cast iron frying pan, of toast stuck atop a forked stick and held over the fire. The sound of loons on a quiet mountain lake, and squirrels chattering in the tops of Douglas fir trees. And my parents. I remember how relaxed they were in the woods, my father standing near the fire, a can of

RVing to Alaska
Exterior Dimensions: 24' 6" long, 8′ 3″ wide, 10' 10" tall
You are experiencing the vacation of a lifetime in Alaska. Your camp site is near a stream deep in the thick, evergreen forest of the Kenai Peninsula. After a wonderful day outdoors, evening has arrived and you are ready to relax indoors.
There may be only two of you or six, but you are so grateful you rented a motorhome with slide out rooms. They make being inside almost as much fun as being outside. You watch a movie on your TV, prepare a delicious meal, play board games at the dinette, and move about the motorhome in a grand gallery of living not available in non-slide models.
The best part of your decision to rent a motorhome with slides is they are easy to operate. With the push of a button they glide effortlessly in and out, and are equipped with electric key locks for child safety. When the slides are retracted, the interior of your motorhome offers the same amount of space as models without slides.
If you are still deciding which motorhome floorplan you would like for your vacation of a lifetime, check out our list of current Floorplans. Be sure to view the photo gallery and videos for each [...]
This is over 35 years of RV experience talking...
What size of RV should I choose?
First time renters are often concerned about renting a larger motorhome. They think it will be less stressful to drive a shorter motorhome, and it should get better gas mileage….right? Not necessarily...
Isn't a larger size motorhome going to cost more to rent?
Although they cost a lot more to purchase, they do not always cost more to rent. In fact, in many cases our larger motorhomes are are more affordable than our smaller motorhomes. This is simply because we have a demand based pricing structure, so when our smaller size motorhomes start to sell out we increase their price and if we still have open availability of larger motorhomes their price will stay the same.
Driving the motorhome
The reality of driving a motorhome is that once you get on the road, a 24 foot motorhome and a 33 foot motorhome both drive the same. Really, after 15 minutes of driving the stress will start to melt away and by the second hour you will be an “old hand” at driving the RV.
What about the gas mileage?
It is true that a shorter motorhome might get you ONE more mile per gallon, bu [...]
