  Very clean and organized. It has a self pay station if you get there late at night and in the morning you get a receipt along with a nice greeting from a nice staff person. Free showers with stay. They have nice bathrooms. The campground feels very safe while the patrolman(who’s there all night long)makes you feel even safer. Camping tables and fire pits. I liked it a lot! I would recommend this place to anyone. A lot of RVs and tents!

  Extremely reasonable rates for a city campground. Great level sites friendly staff, and nighttime security. We have stayed here in the past and have always been pleased to have a nice place to camp instead of paying an exorbitant amount for Alaska hotels. Thank you to the parks and recreation for taking such good care of the facilities.

  Best RV campground that we've found in Anchorage. Other options were very cramp, parking lot facilities. Centennial has large individual spaces that have a lot of room and trees between sites, and it is located in a forest area just east of Hwy 1. Proximity to Anchorage is convenient but you are not really "in town". It's on the northern edge of Anchorage. Yes, the main complaint of itinerant persons using the bathroom facilities is true, but it didn't seem nearly as problematic as some reviewers describe. We witnessed some of this activity but it seemed minimal to us. The staff is very helpful and friendly and shoos people out that don't belong there if they see them. If you need to be in or near Anchorage, I still consider this to be your best option. We have stayed there twice in our 36' 5th wheel. PS - it is likely that you will see black bears meandering through the park at some point during your stay. Park rangers shoo them out with whistles & shouting. (Actually, it was fun to watch.) I bought a whistle myself for dog walks. It worked - but that's another story.

  Have stayed at this campground four separate times this summer (2017) for about 8 nights. Found the campground staff to be friendly and very helpful. We have an RV. The sites are well spaced, with trees separating them. Sites are gravel surrounded by grass and trees. There is a picnic table and fire ring at each site. The sites are clean and the campground is well kept up. There is a nice playground area if you have children. They also have a separate tent area. I think it is a very nice campground and would be happy to stay here again. Unlike private campgrounds, you are not elbow to cheek with your neighbors The campground has a 24 hour host on duty and also has security at night. There are bathrooms with showers if you need them. These are worn, but kept clean.

  We stayed for about 10 days and loved it. It's on town so it's not far to get groceries or whatever. There are so many restaurants and shops within 1-2 miles but when your at your campsite, surrounded by trees and beauty and green, it's easy to forget you are at the end of town. the staff were friendly and helpful. the campground is always clean.
