There are fewer than 1,400 people living in Tok, Alaska, but there are seven private RV parks in town and several state recreation sites with campgrounds outside of it. Tok is the first town you’ll find along the Alaska Highway after clearing Customs and entering the state of Alaska. For many Rvers, Tok is just a quick one night stop on the way to the state’s more famous attractions. Alan and I planned to stay two nights, then move on to Fairbanks to reprovision and catch up on laundry. It was just after we arrived in Tok that the McDonald fire, burning just south of Fairbanks, became the second wildfire to derail our travel plans.
