Extremely cool property with amazing gifts, photo opportunities, antiques, and awesome bathrooms!!!
Spent a wonderful July 4th weekend RV camping. Great staff, beautiful site, friendly neighbors and dogs. Highly recommended
campground=⭐️⭐️ 2 stars
giftshop=⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars
our group (3 RVs) stayed in the campground 3 nights
we requested 30 amp service, and were told all RV sites were 30 amp. the camp site also included water. no sewer hookup, but there was a dump station on the property.
our RV sites get two stars
our three assigned sites were on the river side of the park (west). our two sites closest to the river, appeared to be on the main road that circles the park. we had to make sure we were parked in such a way, that our two RVs in those two funky camp sites, didn't block what looked like an auxiliary road on our left, that the cruise line buses use to drive around those two sites (when occupied). several cruise line buses drove by our sites each day, and parked near the gift shop, so bus passengers could shop.
when we connected power, we saw that there was only 15 amp GFI plugs (no 30 amp plugs). we used an adapter with our Hughes power surge/EPO (emergency power off) device. we were only able to draw about 14 amps, before voltage dropped to unusable levels (upper 90s, instead of 110s/120s) and caused the EPO to turn off power to protect the rig appliances/powered devices. we had to turn off most appliances and powered devices, or (if possible) set them to use propane only. we were told a 30 amp breaker was installed at our sites. from what we experienced when trying to use the site power, is apparently the wire gauge is still only for 15 amp service. we checked the sites on the east side of the park (birch tree area), and those sites actually had both 15 amp and 30 amp plugs. so we figured that side of the park actually has correct 30 amp service.
the road noise at our river side camp sites from highway 3 was loud, particularly when vehicles were driving across the Jack Coghill bridge.
the RV park itself is lovely. it has some interesting historical pieces on the park grounds. also there are a couple of small airplanes on the property, which were interesting to look at. the Nenana river was fascinating to watch, since the water flow changed a little day over day, due to silt movement.
the gift shop gets 5 stars. they have a large variety of nice merchandise.
we would not stay in those river side (west) camp sites again.
This is a cute stop on the way between Denali and Fairbanks. Another little gift shop but it has some ecclectic sights and a bathroom. Some snacks. Sizeable campground. Its a homestead property.
This summer, we visited the Tatlanika Gift Shop and Campground, and I fell in love with these cards and a print, made by an AK artist. I decided to frame them for my new bathroom downstairs. I finally got them framed, now to hang them!
We live in Nenana, about a 40 minute drive, this gift shop is my very favorite of all shops. I love stopping here.
