Tent Reviews

Sep 04, 2024
Our first two days were great, since the area around our tent wasn't crowded. The last two nights (especially the last one, when there were 3 tents, 2 cars and 5 loud children under 7 five feet away from us) were more congested. We needed to catch the 7am ferry in the morning. We normally never camp in campgrounds, but the showers and bathrooms were great and this stay suited us very well.

Payed for a tent campsite because I was driving a camper van and in no need for any hook ups. Self sustained. Just enjoy KOA for tthe safety, showers and laundry…I was given a site right in the middle of the complex! No privacy! There was ample availability of other tent site on the perimeter with semi grass/gravel parking spots for cars; didn’t quite understand her logic for putting me there?

Other than the long walk to the bathroom from the tent site, it was great. Can't blame them for the rain, it's typical Valdez weather. Staff was very welcoming and kept the grounds and bathrooms clean. Will recommend to friends visiting Valdez.

Staff is incredible. It was pouring ran the whole time we were there so we did not get to enjoy the grounds but the bathrooms were among the cleanest I have stayed in (and it was muddy outside too)!

We love staying here. The staff is always so friendly and go out of their way to make sure we are having the best experience. We come here every year and look forward to it each year.

Arrived late and could not find site assignment, but otherwise everything was great. Well cared for and safe site. Plan on staying there again.

The price was too high and can’t cancel within 24hr ($10 even if you just made res). You are charged extra for a child who’s over 6 with one adult at camp site. The lady was nice enough to allow the child to be free after speaking to her. The tent location for our campsite was extremely close to next campsite’s fire pit. It was clean with running water, showers and a grill. Quiet location.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We have appreciated your kind words about our showers, running water & so happy you used our BBQ pavilion. We have appreciated your feedback regarding your booking experience. All KOA confirmation emails show the cancellation policy. We encourage everyone to review all the information on them.

Great stay! No drama!

Wonderful staff/nice place to lay our heads. 1 thing could be improved is the bath house:not adequate places to put our stuff, no shelves, very few hooks for towels, in great disrepair.The caulk job in showers--poorly done. Shower cracked--leaked into the floor. Leaking toilet/floor sopping wet. Hot water was good.Husband is a contractor-he could fix it all, to be a good investment for the future.

Very clean, friendly staff. Quiet hours are observed for the most part, and off away from town which is great for tent campers.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your feedback. We also love our treed location and our tent campers. Each year we try to add amenities for tent camping like our dish washing sink and Easy Camping tents for those without equipment. Master plan includes an outdoor kitchen with multiple stations. Hope to see you soon!

Maybe consider keeping an employee around until maybe 11pm so guests won’t be forced to confront drunk people to ask them to respect quiet hours

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We have appreciated your feedback. We do list our after hours number on all of our guest services guide that are handed to every guest during check-in. We would always appreciate a call so we can ensure your stay is enjoyable.

I was very grateful to have a campsite for me and my dogs on short notice. The 24 hr. showers were a great option, though, mine ran out of hot water about 8 minutes in. The campsite was very tidy and the ground was perfect for pitching a tent. I would have preferred a later checkout time than 11. I was "checked on" several times by the camp maintenance person in the golf cart from 10 to 11 am.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are really happy we were able to help you find a great camping spot. With regards to your shower time, we are so sorry you went through that, we did message everyone advising our propane supplier had let us down that morning. We would love to have you back to experience a long hot shower.

We had an amazing stay at the Valdez KOA! The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Lori provided helpful information and was a hoot to talk with. We will definitely be back and will most likely make a camping trip in Valdez a yearly necessity!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you so much for your feedback. Lori is wonderful and keeps us entertained! She is such a caring person. She loves our guests, the campground, and Valdez. We are so happy to hear you had a wonderful time. Thank you and we look forward very much to your next visit.

Our stay at KOA Journey in Valdez,Alaska was absolutely wonderful. The hosts were super friendly and helpful. The owners were so helpful to my parents who were staying there as well. My parents were having issues emptying their trailer tank the owners helped them until the issue was fixed. The bathrooms/showers were very clean and nice. We recommend KOA Journey Valdez 10/10! We will be back!

Staff was very friendly, bathrooms exceptionally clean, and beautiful views, can't wait to go back!

Accidentally left something at our campsite & called repeatedly trying to contact someone to help us out & your syrupy voiced British operator promised someone would return our calls & no one ever did, & no mention of any policy on lost & found items.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Sir, we have been unable to reach you to assist you. We did call back on June 5th & again on June 6th. We left messages both times. Our calls are going straight to your voicemail. We have also sent you 3 text messages to the same number. We are anxious to assist you find your lost property.

We had a great tent site, it was spacious and in the trees. Other sites weren't the best with the mud and rain but we got lucky. Decent bathrooms and showers.
Sep 06, 2022
Staff was friendly. Campsite was fine. Quiet hours were neither observed nor enforced. Did not appreciate fireworks at 2am. Prohibition on bear attractants were neither observed nor enforced. Open coolers of food sitting all over the place day and night was appalling. Should have been a bunch of citations issued by wildlife troopers. Warning people about bears then allowing that is ridiculous.

The staff was so helpful and genuinely concerned about trying to help our family find a spot that would be dry enough for tent camping over a very rainy weekend! Thank you!

Even though I only spent one night at the camp, from the moment I checked in and until I checked out I was most welcomed. The checkin process was very easy, the lady that checked me in showed me exactly where my site was located and told me about facility location. The camp site and picnic table were clean, firewood and fire ring available, and it was very quiet. Nice pet facility. Thanks Nena!

clean and spacious. Staff is friendly

The site was very nice. The bath house was very nice. My only complaint is that $12 for a bundle of firewood is outrageous. Some bundles only have 4 pieces of wood. Even Arches in Arizona which has their wood brought in is only $8. There is plenty of trees in Valdez so there should not be a shortage.

My stay was great the staff were friendly and helpful I’ll be back

We had a great stay at Valdez KOA. They have very friendly and attentive staff. The 6 minute drive to town was extremely convenient. It would be easy to bike to town as well as there is a great paved trail along the highway that leads all the way to town. We utilized their corn hole games and horseshoe pit, and our dog enjoyed the fenced in area. My wife left her headphones in our cabin and they mailed them back to us! Thank you guys! Absolutely amazing service. We'll definitely be back!
