Campers are cheaper here I guess, RV is pricey for sure But I'm on one of the last towns before the Alaska border, you can rent a camper for 100 or 135 a night for a huge 5th wheel, cheaper than some of the hotels around. I can provide much more info if your interested. Exploring the north & river caves is a large part of my towns tourism scene.

Plenty of low income young people come through from the states, I see them buying camping supplies at walmart all the time in the summer. People party in the woods with their campers bonfire ect. then rent them out for travelers.

*Edit: 100 CAD which is like 75 US

I see lots of Campers and RVs driving up to Alaska on the highway. idk why someone would fly up to Alaska without their own camping gear other than business or military.
