we went in the summer of 2017 without a single reservation and had no issues finding rv parks and campgrounds, when we needed them...otherwise we also stayed at several 'off-grid' parks along the way, one that was similar but did have a 15amp outlet at each site, and stayed at many roadside stops along the way - both Alaska and Canada have a lot of options, and both are very RV friendly. Many Canadian cities have their own municipal or lion's club campgrounds and parks, and there is a vast assortment of different rv parks and campgrounds privately owned, from very small, to very, very large.

13,000 total miles... from GA to Manitoba, across the provinces to Dawson City, Yukon, where the free ferry takes you across the Yukon river, up and around the mountains to the 'top of the world' border crossing(in the middle of NOWHERE!)..to Chicken...and beyond.

My best advice: don't get caught up in the 'need' to do anything different than when you travel in the states, other than really, really pay attention and 'believe' the little red/orange flags on the side of the road - they are placed there to remind you that there will be a 'BUMP' - and, it's true. If you keep you pace slow, and don't try to 'speed' to your next destination, maybe 100 miles per travel day, you'll not have any issues.

Stop for an 'off-grid' campground night at Laird Hot Springs, and walk to the springs for a 'true' hot springs swim/relaxation - it is just amazing.

Travel south of Anchorage to the RAILROAD TUNNEL into Whittier, the prettiest 'post card' port you can ever imagine( the tunnel is 'fun' too!)... and then go a little farther south when you leave to the BYRON GLACIER - one of the few you can easily hike to, thru the woods on a path, and WALK ON! it is simply a crazy good time!


Those are just a few of the highlights, though. You'll make your own.

Take a license plate or street sign from your area and add it to the FOREST of signs(76,000+!) at WATSON LAKE(you'll know what I mean when you arrive there!)...fun.
