Traveler’s Guide to Alaskan Camping: Alaska and Yukon Camping with RV or Tent
I found this book to be more informative than the Milepost, as it is better organized and shows campgrounds and facilities that are of interest to those people who are planning to camp with RV or tent.
The book shows all campgrounds in each section of road traveled and also describes activities that are available in the area. It is informative and clearly written with excellent directions for locating attractions. Though I have not been to Alaska yet, I did show this book to fellow travelers who have used the Milepost and it was met with enthusiastic response.
Rating: 5 / 5
If I had bought this book first, I could have saved money on three others. Outstanding– the only book you need to camp Alaska.

We recently completed a four-month motorhome trip to Alaska. We had several books with us, but the most consistent good information came from this book. The campground descriptions were right on. In addition to camping, when we had to decide whether to see one attraction vs another, the book’s advice was invaluable. Don’t leave home without it!

I purchased 5 different books for our upcoming first trip to Alaska. This book, along with The Milepost, will be the only two we’ll take with us. Our copy of Traveler’s Guide to Alaskan Camping is already dog-earred and marked up. It’s an outstanding source of information. Information on campgounds and road quality have allowed us to plan our RV route, leaving room for flexibility while getting the most out of the trip. Even though from Aug, 2004, the guide to relative comparisons of gas prices will also be very helpful. For example – gas in GlenAllen is probably more expensive than in Tok.

We bought several books to travel to Alaska in 2006. The milepost and this book were the only two we used. It is much easier to find a campground each night using this book over the milepost. The price information and personal recommendations were very helpful and accurate. I highly recomend it if you travel to alaska RV or camp in a tent.
