Uses a Q code! Yay! This small campground is well maintained. The campsites are not on top of each other, and there is plenty of privacy provided by the dense vegetation. Did not hear highway traffic. And it was easy to tune out RVs due to the distance between campsites.
Bring your waders! And there are easy hiking trails. There was signage/warning about thievery, and a ph # was provided to call in any shady characters. But we experienced no problems and will definitely return. Perfect distance from Anchorage! And a short easy drive to Hope.
