High Latitude
For Tolsona Wilderness Campground: This was my first year staying at the Tolsona wilderness campground - stayed 4 days the week after Memorial Day 2019. After staying at dozens through the State over the years I have to say this one is pretty nice. Others have commented about the campsites and setting so not much to add there except they did have nice fire pit rings, but no real deadfall or wood to be found so bring your own, or buy some in the onsite store.. And due to its location cell service was a little spotty. I would add they do have their own WiFi which was fairly reliable and had enough bandwidth to stream movies, although we were there during the week and not too many others around. So on popular weekends it might be different, and probably feels a little crowded. Combined with the bathrooms and shower building being pretty basic is the reason for no 5th star. Although they were remodeling several of the showers when we were there, thankfully, as they were pretty rustic although still serviceable. But the number of toilets at the bathhouse was inadequate for the number of campsites in my opinion. So that could use improvement, although there were some outhouses scattered throughout the park.
There is a little store onsite, although not well stocked. However, we were there following one of the business weekends of the year, so I’ll cut them some slack on that. They also don’t sell alcohol, and neither does the town, Glennallen. So you have to stop at a small sketchy place outside of town. At any rate, the staff were very nice and there around 8 or 9 in the morning to open up the store and put coffee on. For kids there was only a modest amount of things for them to do. But there is a big field to play in and the store had rubber balls, badminton, mabey frisbees and some other toys for kids to use no charge. The field was a little rough however, and sloped, so it could use some work, but overall it was ok. The park was ideal to bicycle around in though, so bring bikes for the kids.
I would definitely stay there again, although on super busy weekends it likely gets kind of crowded for me. Bottom line, a decent 4 star campground.

For Tolsona Wilderness Campground: This a real campground, not a expensive parking lot for RVs. Sites are clean, nice, pretty level with power and water. Many are located along stream. Their hiking trail is very rough, but at least they have one. So many of the RV parks have nothing for you to do. I dont use their showers etc and can't comment on them. I stayed here in my 27' Class A motorhome with tow. Didn't have to unhook.

For Tolsona Wilderness Campground: Water and Electric only. RV Park is down a long dirt road. Sites are Well spaced with privacy provided by trees and bushes. Lots of mosquitoes! Drinking water was discolored. We were 10 miles out of Glennallen. We stayed in a travel trailer in July 2016.

For Tolsona Wilderness Campground: Absolutely the nicest campground in Alaska. All sites on the creek with plenty of trees. The campground I pictured when planning my Alaska trip.
