The vast, wide-open state of Alaska leaves a lot of possibilities when it comes to deciding where to bring your Healy campervan rental. Two of the best parks in the state are within an hour's drive of Healy. Farther away, Chena River State Recreation Area is located on the other side of Fairbanks, a few hours' drive to the northeast. This recreation area is fantastic for fishing, swimming, and hiking, with campsites for you and your Healy motorhome rental.
Chugach State Park is just outside of Anchorage, one of the largest and best-known cities in the state. This half-million-acre wonderland is one of the largest state parks in the country, blanketing mountains and glorious coastal areas in southern Alaska. There are scenic highways, campgrounds, lakes, rocky seashores, and a diverse mix of wildlife found in this incredible state park.
Denali State Park is due south of Healy, a great chunk of which is considered wilderness area. With the exception of a few campgrounds and day-use areas, Healy is a great place to backpack and trek through the wild, with hardly any other people or human development in sight. There are majestic overlooks and vantage points scattered throughout the area, and ample space to canoe, kayak, rock climb, boulder, and camp. Directly next door to the Denali State Park is Denali National Park, the true star of the show. This legendary recreation space is mostly responsible for Healy’s tourism industry, and when you rent an RV and bring it to Denali, you will soon see why. This six-million-acre paradise has a mix of evergreen forests, taiga, tundra, mountains, streams, and glaciers, with a larger area than the state of New Hampshire. This vast expanse is also home to Denali, the tallest mountain on the entire continent, measuring in at just over 20,000 feet. No matter what part of the park or state you head out to explore, you are surely in for a treat.
