The Russian River Campground offers a beautiful and well-maintained environment, with spacious sites and helpful staff, making it a favorite destination for many visitors. Guests appreciate the scenic hiking opportunities, including a popular trail to the falls, and the campground's proximity to fishing spots. However, challenges with the reservation system, road conditions, and maintenance issues, such as the dump station being frequently closed, have led to some frustration among campers.

Enforcement of quite hours from 11 pm until 6 am is needed. We had noisy neighbors until 2 am for four of the six nights that we stayed there at two different sites.

Went on my annual fishing trip. Campsites are far apart from adjacent sites and walking distance to Russian river which has a world class sockeye fishery. Visit Alaska fish & game website for information. The camp manager & staff are great & very helpful. Reservations are Necessary and hard to get during the salmon runs but otherwise relatively easy to get.

We absolutely love camping at this campground, however, the reservation system needs to be fixed, as there were far too many empty camping spaces due to no shows. There were campers in the overflow waiting for spots and could have easily filled these unused campsites. Something has to done to fix this issue, as locals have a hard time reserving spots because of latency speed of internet connectivity. This was the first time in a long time that I was able to luck out and get a spot.

Nice campground, crowded though.
My only major dislike is with the campground reservation website, recreation.gov . Making a reservation is extremely frustrating, and seems to require random luck!

I campground is especially will run with first class managers. While getting a reservation for six months in advance for fishing season has become much more difficult, it can still be done. This year the campground was littered with logged trees that need to be cleaned up and burned. But the scenery is always wonderful and the fishing is usually very good

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
