Discover Chugach State Park RV rentals for memorable road trips
Most folks are aware of the awesome national parks covering Alaska’s wild landscape, but that doesn't mean there aren’t equally impressive state parks. In fact, one of the largest state parks in the United States borders the city of Anchorage. Chugach State Park covers just shy of 500,000 acres, with a vast complement of mountains, bays, rivers, and glaciers. Popular activities within the park include RV camping, hiking, surfing, and snowmobiling.

Getting Outdoors
The massive coverage of Chugach State Park provides ample opportunity for exploring by foot. There are 16 trailheads around the boundary of the park giving you access to nearly 300 miles of trails. The Glen Alps trailhead in southern Anchorage is a popular starting point for numerous trails. You can find easy walks, strenuous mountain biking trails, and extended hiking trips to the tops of peaks offering breathtaking views. Another popular trail is the Turnagain Arm Trail, a ten-mile out-and-back hike through a mixed forest with occasional views of the bay. East of the Bird Point Campground, you can explore the Bird Point Trail, where you can often view whales, mountain goats, and the unique bore tide that fills the bay with massive waves as the tide comes in. Just be sure to stay off the mudflats; like quicksand, these dangerous areas have trapped and drowned many animals and humans.
Camping at Chugach State Park
Chugach State Park hosts three wonderful campgrounds, all set in the Alaskan tundra and surrounded by conifers. Dogs are allowed in all three state park campgrounds and on trails if kept on a leash and under control. All campgrounds at Chugach State Park feature the basic amenities such as fire rings, picnic tables, water, and restrooms. None of them, however, include water or electric hookups.
Exploring the Area
You can‘t rent an RV in Alaska without exploring the many other amazingly impressive parks, the largest and most diverse in the country. Must-sees include Katmai National Park and Denali National Park. Aside from the national parks, you can head up to Fairbanks to see the Northern Lights or experience what it’s like to command a dog sled team. There are also numerous glaciers in Alaska that you can visit either by helicopter, boat, or foot.

We had an amazing experience! The Suburban and Roofnest setup was perfect—clean, comfortable, and exactly what we needed for our trip. The vehicle ran smoothly and made traveling stress-free. Our host was awesome to work with: communicative, flexible, and made the whole process super easy. Would absolutely rent from him again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a great adventure vehicle!

Eric is a great guy. Was extremely helpful and communicative. Van ran really good, pretty good gas mileage as well. If you’re taller than 5’10” you’ll need to sleep at an angle to stretch your legs, but it’s a big bed. Van is loaded with helpful items for boondocking. I would rent again
