Ranch House Lodge & RV Resort

Tolsona

The feel

Ranch House Lodge sits at mile 173 on the Glenn Highway, on the banks of Tolsona Creek, about a 15-minute drive from Glennallen. The hookups suit big rigs, with pull-thru sites, and the lodge adds a family style restaurant and lounge.

Mingo says

Aim for August if you came to fish, when the grayling run well. Check the creek first after spring flooding, since it can run muddy.
