RecommendationsFrom Anchorage, you can go north or south and within minutes of leaving this "urban" place, you will find yourself in the true "Alaska."
Whittier, Hope, Turnagain Pass, Seward, Cooper Landing, Sterling, Kenai/Soldotna, and Homer are all fantastic camping destinations south of Anchorage.
North is, of course, Denali- The Majestic One- with camping, hiking and wildlife beyond compare.
There are many beautiful places in between and no shortage of great stops for adventure, food, wildlife viewing, and just plain peace, quiet, and fresh Alaskan air!
Other things to note-Please note that there are many areas, even on highly traveled roads to popular destinations, where there is no cell service.-Please note that there are large stretches of road where there are no gas stations so be sure to plan your gas-ups accordingly.-Sadly, we cannot accommodate pets at this time- pet hair is so hard to clean up.-If your adventure includes fishing, we kindly ask that you DO NOT clean fish in or near the vehicle. If storing fish in your cooler, understand that bears are attracted to all food and especially fish smell, so choose wisely when handling and storing fish and fishing gear! Stay smart and stay safe!-Fish smells, messes and other "accidents" may result in additional fees and affect your return deposit. Please be extra careful when enjoying your adventure in our vehicle!While we understand you are here for the adventure, our car is NOT an off-road vehicle and common sense must be used when deciding where and where not to go.
-Because the Denali Highway (not to Denali herself, but the 135 mile road between Cantwell and Paxson) has such variable conditions and has very limited cell service, our car may not be taken on this adventure. The same holds true for the road to McCarthy and we appreciate your understanding.
-Skilak Loop road is allowable but understand that it is bumpy and often rutted/not graded so you must take care if you plan to take this route.
*Gas tank will be full when you arrive- please make sure it is full upon return to avoid fees (cost of refilling tank plus $25).

Meet your host, Mindy

My husband and I have lived in Alaska for 25 years and have enjoyed many adventures along the way. We were tent campers for many, many years before buying a truck and camper after our family grew. Some of my most favorite memories involve our tent camping years and I sure wish that rooftop tents were more of a "thing" back in those days! As a host, I am hoping to help others enjoy the great Alaskan outdoors in a safe and exciting way, with a reliable vehicle and sturdy place to rest after a day of adventuring! I am happy to help with trip planning and recommendations so questions are always welcome. I want all visitors to have a "trip of a lifetime," when they visit this amazing place that never fails to amaze me, even after all these years.
