GUESTS WITH RESERVATIONS:
If you have a reservation and arrive after closing, you will find your Guest Service Guide with your name and site number on our office door, which is also our general store building. This building is located just before the entrance to the campground. Just come up the steps and you will find your guide.
It will also provide you with directions to your campsite/accommodation, and a map of our campground that shows you where all the guests services areas are.
GUESTS WITHOUT RESERVATIONS:
If you do not have a reservation, you can use our night check-in board. It is located immediately at the top of the steps on the left of the office/general store building. This building is located just before the entrance to the campground. Please do not proceed into the campground until you have completed night registration. We have guests arriving at random times throughout the evening, so it is important that late arrivals without a reservation only select those sites available to avoid having to wake you up to move.
The night registration board will explain what sites are available for one night, and the cost. You must fill out a night registration envelope and place it in the slot of the pink box below the board. If you need a receipt and/or change, stop by the office in the morning for assistance. *Cabins and RV Rentals are unable to be booked during night registration - please contact the Office prior to arrival during office hours and reserve your accommodation.
A NON-REFUNDABLE $5 Pet Fee will be applied during check-in for all PET-FRIENDLY lodging reservations with Pets. What is classified as a Pet? Parrot, Cat, Dog. Emu, Lizard, Bear, Moose, Kangaroo (nope! and the wife/husband don't count); if it's called fluffy or goes by any other similar name, then it's a Pet. HELPFUL INFORMATION: Bring your helper. Service dogs are welcome at all KOA Campgrounds. (Leash and aggressive behavior rules apply.) When You Arrive: Good behavior is required. Dogs of any breed that are hostile or aggressive will be asked to leave the campground, along with their owners. Bring the leash. Dogs must be kept on leashes no longer than 6 feet when outside with their owners. Do not leave a tethered dog unattended. Remember manners. Constant barking bothers other campers. If your pet is too vocal, you'll need to find other accommodations. Pets are our best friends. Please ensure your pet's safety by always placing a leash on them while staying in the Park and disposing of their waste in the dumpster or pet waste stations. PETS are NOT allowed in certain lodging within the campground (Glamping Tents, Chalet, Deluxe Cabins and the Rental RV Unit), and NOT allowed inside the Bathhouse nor General Store. PETS ARE WELCOME in our Camping Cabin and Easy Camping Tents ONLY.
Do not leave your pet unattended. Please take them with you when you leave the campground to go on excursions or visit downtown. Looking for a Pet sitter? Ask at the Office so the Team may assist you with local providers' information.

Alaska is truly the 'Last Frontier'.
Tim & LaVerne come from different backgrounds & places. Tim is the Alaskan. He moved to Alaska in the early 80's to Fairbanks and raised his family here. He loves Alaska on all levels, most of all, hunting and fishing. He is an Alaskan bush pilot and still enjoys flying today. He was an owner/operator haul road trucker for about 10 years, making some 850 round trips from Fairbanks to Prudhoe Bay. He loved the vastness and astounding beauty of the north country. He moved to Texas in 1998 and met LaVerne, the Dallas, Texas girl, who then lived in east Texas, who had always dreamed about Alaska. All it took was one trip to Alaska and she was sold. Alaska is the 'Last Frontier'. It is truly what dreams are made of.Jason is LaVerne's son and Kristin, her daughter-in-law. Both are excited to join Tim and LaVerne as second generation KOA owners (KOA G2). Both Jason and Kristin are recently retired airline pilots. Jason started flying at 18 and worked as a flight instructor and then pilot in the airlines for 22 years. Jason loves skiing (downhill and water). Kristin began flying during college after her term in the Air Force at age 23. She worked as a flight instructor and then an airline pilot for 20 years. She loves animals and the outdoor life, as well as having an interest in real estate and investing, science fiction, and reading. After visiting the folks in Alaska the first time, Kristin was so amazed at Alaska's wild beauty and frontier feeling that she brought her brother and sister in law for a visit to Valdez. They were so captured by Alaska that they bought Bettles Lodge, quit their jobs, and moved from Chicago! Jason and Kristin are proud to become a part of Alaska and the KOA family.
Come join us to enjoy a great camping experience at the VALDEZ KOA the Alaskan Way!
Tim, LaVerne, Jason, and Kristin welcome you!
