Use firewood provided at the fire pit. Do not collect wood from the forest. We live 45 min. from the closest volunteer fire station, please be careful when using the fire pit and spread the fire out when done for the evening.

Helpful Information:
The nearest town is Palmer. Palmer is located just north of Anchorage and if you are driving from Anchorage to get to us, you will go through Palmer. This is the last stop for groceries and alcohol before getting to Alpenglow. We encourage guests to bring snacks and food for lunches since most excursions start before restaurants are open to buy to-go lunches.
Showers: We have showers next to the hot tub and encourage guests to be conscious of the water used. We truck all our water in and run an off grid property so ask guests to limit themselves to one shower per night stayed.
Laundry: Grandview RV Park has coin operated laundry. They only have a few machines and during the busy times of the summer you might have to wait a little while to have your turn. Some people will have a meal at Grandview's cafe and do laundry at the same time.
Wildlife: You're in Alaska and anywhere you go, even Anchorage, will have wildlife. Be aware of your surroundings, respect the wildlife and do not leave food or smell goods where animals can get into it. Some helpful information on what to do if you encounter wildlife:
Bears- NEVER run from a bear. Learn more about bear safety here on NPS website.
Moose- They are very large animals with small brains. More people are injured from moose than bears. They can kick forward as well. Never approach a moose, if the moose is minding it's own business then snap a few pictures and walk away. If a moose charges you, run behind something like a tree or building and the moose will likely forget what it was doing and go away. If need be you can always climb a tree if it's persistent.
