An RV Vacation to Alaska

Recreational vehicles are seen up and down Alaska's highways with license plates from across the United States, particularly in the summer months. Some travel in their own RVs, while others rent them once they arrive in Alaska.
  1. Driving the ALCAN

    • RV travelers wishing to drive from the continental United States to Alaska will use the Alaska-Canada Highway, familiarly known as the ALCAN. The entry point of the highway is Dawson Creek, British Columbia, which marks a 1,390-mile journey on paved roads to Delta Junction, Alaska, according to "The Milepost" travel guide.

    Campgrounds

    • Once arriving in Alaska, RV travelers will find many public and private campgrounds along the state's highways. Privately owned parks include Denali Grizzly Bear Resort, Bayside RV Park in Valdez and Oceanview RV Park in Homer. State park campgrounds that allow RVs include Chugach State Park near Anchorage and Quartz Lake in Delta Junction.

    Scenic Byways and Popular Destinations

    • According to the state's travel website, some of the most popular destinations for road travelers include Denali National Park, Kenai National Wildlife Refuge and Wrangell National Park. Glaciers, such as Portage near Anchorage, are also uniquely Alaskan tourist attractions. Scenic byways in Alaska include the Seward, Sterling, Parks and Dalton highways.
