Grand View Cafe and RV Park

Awesome place to eat (great pizza) and stay/camp. Very clean facilities and the staff is amazing.

Great hike up the hill behind the park with a beautiful view of the glacier!

Great location for hikes with views. Clean restrooms, laundry and showers. The restaurant is reasonable and the staff is AWESOME! They have a small kids playground, kids loved the seesaw. Just a short 15min hike has a view of the glacier that is all to yourself.. Definitely recommend.

On 15 September 2022 googled full hookup camping sites near the Matanuska glacier and the Grand View Cafe & RV Park popped up. I read over their website and decided it would be a perfect place to stay for our last rv camping trip of the year. I had no problem making reservations online for 17 September 2022, got a confirmation email that they had charged my credit card so I then booked a guided hiking trip on the Matanuska glacier for the 18th. My 8 year old daughter was super excited to visit the glacier.

The morning of the 17th, we got everything packet up except our generator, who needs a generator when you have full hookups, right? We stopped a few places on the 100+ mile trip and got to the Grand View Cafe & RV Park around 3pm to find the place empty and the gates locked. With not enough room on their driveway to park I had to keep going up the road a few miles to a turnout to stop. After a long drive my daughter wanted to get out and stretch her legs while I called the Grand View Cafe & RV Park. Over the next 30 minutes and repeated calls I gave up after getting the same voice mail message over and over. Just then my daughter sprained her ankle in the grass of the turnout. With no generator, an injured child, and no response from the Grand View Cafe & RV Park, I decided to head back to Anchorage.

Mind you, there is nothing on their website about a closing and one would assume everything was find if the reservation part of their site allowed you to book a spot and charged you for it!

God only knows when or if I'll get my money refunded!

Food is great and the owner is hospitable! Perfect spot for recharging after the glacier tour!

Fantastic family run business. Beautiful views of the mountains. Wonderful hiking on animal trails. They serve food!

Conviently located to take a rest from the road, great pizza, friendly staff, short 10 minute hike to an awesome view. Stayed the night in 42 foot RV w/ a toad

One of the few places to eat on Glen Highway and it’s only a few miles from the Matanuska Glacier.

We are grateful for the accommodation for our trailer on July 3. They were full and we were allowed to park in the lot. We stayed an extra day in the best site#26.
BTW strawberry rhubarb pie is delish

Great food, friendly folks. Told us about their short trail to climb up the ridge and see down into the valley. We saw some sheep on Sheep Mountain. Wonderful spot for a late lunch.
