Tonsina River Lodge

Awash in the tranquil sounds of the Tonsina River and the almost magical calm of a unique microclimate, the Tonsina River Lodge Campground offers a peaceful retreat just off the Richardson Highway. This small yet well-equipped campground is perfect for those looking to experience Alaska's raw beauty with accessible amenities, including clean showers, flush toilets, and laundry facilities. Its proximity to the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park makes it an ideal base for day trips to explore the largest national park in the U.S.

Less than two miles from the intersection of the Richardson and Edgerton Highways, the campground provides easy on-off access for travelers, whether they’re on a longer road trip, a weekend getaway, or exploring the rich history and culture of Copper Valley. Nearby attractions, including fishing spots and serene hiking trails, provide ample opportunities for recreation. The adjoining lodge, known for its fusion of Russian and American cuisine, adds a touch of comfort and cultural flavor to your stay.
