Alaska salmon fishing at it's best! The 155-acre Gulkana River RV Park located at mile 132 Richardson Hwy., 3 miles north of Gakona junction is a fisherman’s paradise, and is in the hub of Alaska’s most popular vacation area.

Come stay with us and avoid the crowds while you fish for some of the world’s largest king salmon, as well as sockeye, trout, steelhead and grayling. Each season people from all over the lower 48 and many Alaska residents, as well as a number of foreign visitors managed to capture many King Salmon in the 40 to 45 pound range. This was accomplished from the banks of the Gulkana River in our park and on our guided fishing trips. The guided trips leave directly from the boat launch area in our park. At the end of the trip, you are returned to our park.
