Here's your complete guide to every accommodation at Valdez KOA Journey.

Full Hookup RV Sites — Pull-Through & Back-In
Drive in, hook up, and wake up to Chugach Mountain views.
If you've driven your rig to Alaska, and that alone deserves respect, you deserve a site that works as hard as you do. Valdez KOA's full hookup sites are set up to handle big rigs with ease.

RV Rentals, On-Site Units Ready for You
No rig? No problem. Show up, settle in, and start your Alaska adventure.
You don't need to own an RV to experience the magic of waking up in one in Alaska. Valdez KOA Journey offers two on-site rental units that give you all the comfort and convenience of RV camping — without the tow vehicle.
This is RV living at its finest. Two private bedrooms (king + queen), a full kitchen stocked with cooking utensils, cutlery, plates, and a coffee maker, a bath and a half, a giant TV with Roku, an indoor fireplace, and Chugach Mountain views. Linens included, just pack your bags and board the plane.
Perfect for a family of four or a group of friends. One queen bed and two bunk beds, a bathroom with a compact tub and shower, and your own picnic table and fire ring right outside. The partial kitchen includes a 2-burner stove, microwave, and refrigerator. Just bring your own bedding and towels, and you're all set.
Valdez KOA Journey offers three distinct cabin and vacation rental options, each with its own character. Here's how to choose the right one for your trip:
Private bathroom, comfortable beds, porch seating, your Alaska cabin home base.
Valdez KOA's Deluxe Cabins are a great choice for families and couples who want a real bed, a private bathroom, and a porch to sit on at the end of a big Alaska day. Each cabin has a comfortable queen bed plus a queen sofa bed for groups of four, a walk-in shower bathroom, and a small porch with seating for two. The charcoal grill, fire pit, and picnic table are set outside in front of the porch, near the pond, a peaceful spot to cook and unwind after a day on the water.
Simple, comfortable, and the only cabin that welcomes your four-legged adventure partner.
Originally the campground's camping cabin, this cozy single-room cabin has been updated and now offers everything you need for a comfortable Alaska stay.

Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, full kitchen, private deck with mountain views, the ultimate Alaska home base.

The king master suite has its own private balcony with Chugach Mountain views and an attached bathroom with a tub. The full kitchen means you can cook your own catch after a day of fishing. The covered deck and living room provide plenty of space for a family or group of four to spread out and relax. The only accommodation at Valdez KOA Journey has a full kitchen and tub.
Valdez KOA Journey offers two glamping tent options, set amongst the spruce trees with Chugach Mountain views. Both tents have a covered porch with seating, a gas fire pit, and a gas grill outside.
Set amongst the spruce trees, comfort, adventure, and Alaska all in one.
Think cocktail tumbler, not canteen. Set amongst the spruce trees with Chugach Mountain views, this Alaska-style glamping tent gives you comfort, privacy, and adventure in one spectacular package. The spacious tent is divided into three rooms: a living room with an electric fireplace, a bedroom with a queen bed and charging stations, and a dining area. The covered porch with a gas fire pit and a gas grill extends your living space outdoors, and towels are provided so you can pack light.
Two twin beds, a covered porch, and everything you need for an Alaska glamping adventure for two.
A great option for two people who want the glamping experience without a large tent. The Woody Junior is already set up with two twin beds and linens, a cozy covered porch with a gas fire pit and grill, and everything you need to settle in and enjoy Alaska. The additional uncovered deck gives you extra outdoor space when the weather is good.
Pitch your tent, breathe the mountain air, and wake up to Alaska.
Tent camping in Alaska is an experience unlike any other. Fourteen individual tent sites give you the choice of pitching in the spruce trees for shade and privacy or setting up in the open with broader views of the Chugach Mountain skyline. All sites are dry; bring your own water or fill up at the campground water stations. The 24-hour bathhouse with private locking shower rooms is just a short walk away.
