Why Attend
Why You Should Attend our Rally

Unique Setting
Get ready for a rally setting unlike anywhere we’ve had before! Nestled at the base of the spectacular Pioneer Peak in Alaska’s Mat-Su Valley, Alaska Raceway Park combines breathtaking Alaska scenery with the energy and excitement of one of the state’s most unique venues.
Great Activities
Lots of activities are planned throughout the week including daily happy hours, campfires and potlucks, a game night, seminar speaker series, RV Home Show & so much more.
Meet New People
There is nothing better than making new friendships on the road. At our Rally we make it easy for you to connect with like-minded folks on the road to Alaska that will last a lifetime.
Have Fun
The most important goal of our Rally is to have fun! We purposely don't jam pack the schedule so you can enjoy your time in camp or you may explore the Denali State Park area on your own.

Do I have to book all four nights during the Rally?
Yes. It’s a package deal and can’t broken up by how many days you can stay. You can leave early or come late but you will be paying for the entire event. No refunds for unused time.
What are the RV Sites like?
This is Rally at the Raceway, so leave your expectations of a traditional RV park behind! We will be creating our own temporary RV community on the grounds of Alaska Raceway Park, with RVs parked rally-style in a designated area on the property. Sites will be on a level gravel surface and will be large enough to accommodate everything from truck campers and travel trailers to fifth wheels and big Class A motorhomes. This is dry camping with no individual water, sewer or electrical hookups, so arrive with your fresh-water tank full and your black and gray tanks empty. Rally staff will be on hand when you arrive to check you in and guide you to your assigned parking area. And while the amenities may be simple, the view certainly isn’t—you’ll be camping beneath Pioneer Peak with the Chugach Mountains as the backdrop to our RV2AK home for the week!
What are the quiet hours & generator use policy?
Quiet hours are from 10pm to 8am. We do kindly ask that you do not run any generators overnight. Therefore please only run your generator between the hours of 8 am to 10 pm. We ask that you please be courteous to your neighbors as you will be parked close to one and another and only run your generator when necessary (generally for only a couple of hours at a time). If you do have a problem with noise or exhaust fumes, try having a friendly conversation with your neighbor.
Your RV Site will be approximately 18ft in width to accommodate everyone on the airfield. If you have a toad you will need to park it in front of your RV and within your assigned space.
Are there Electric sites available?
No, as we mentioned this is an not a conventional RV park. You may use your generator during the daytime hours of 8am and 10pm as needed.
Where can I dump?
PLEASE ARRIVE WITH YOUR BLACK & GREY TANKS EMPTY & FRESH WATER FULL!
You can find dump stations as you work your way to the Rally in both Palmer or Wasilla.
The closest dump station to the Raceway Park is at the Matanuska River Park located at 925 E Arctic Ave in Palmer.
Please be ready to conserve your water and your tanks. There will be portable outhouses location around the property.
Where do I take my trash?
Please be prepared to pack out whatever you pack in. Again this is not a traditional rv park and appreciate your help in this request.
Is there cell signal or internet?
The location of this year’s Rally should have full cellphone service due to it’s proximity to town.
If you have your own Starlink you should have no issue deploying your dishy for your own personal connection.
Can I have a campfire?
Propane fires will be allowed at your RV site. Due to the fact this is a parking lot no wood fires will be allowed.
Do we eat all meals together?
No. We share a total of three meals together as a group. The first night is our fully catered arrival dinner where you leave the cooking up to us. The other two meals we will be having together is a potluck breakfast on Tuesday morning and a potluck dinner on Thursday. All other meals you are responsible for on your own. Note every evening we do hold a happy hour at 4pm and evening activities will reconvene at 7pm.
What is the Cancellation/Refund Policy for the Rally?
To cancel, simply email support@rvingtoalaska.com with your confirmation number, main campsite guest’s name and the reason for cancellation. Cancellation requests received on or before Wednesday, May 12th, 2027 will receive a complete refund minus an administration fee of $65. Cancellation requests received between May 13th, 2026 and June 11th, 2027 will receive a refund in the amount of 50% of their registration costs.
