Campground was well maintained, the sites are not on top of each other, and there’s plenty of privacy provided by the dense vegetation

our sight was a little bit underwhelming; the location was nice as it was a reasonable distance from other campers. The site itself was not great for a tent as the ground was not very level, as an added note there was a lot of traffic through the campgrounds late from people looking for first come first serve sites. campground staff could improve on this problem with a sign near the entrance easily enough. there was a water source that was convenient, and a decent trail to the creek.

Lovely campground. Large sites. Clean pit toilets, potable water from a hand pump well. Some road noise but if you are near the creek, the noise is muffled. No phone reception which is how it should be when out in nature.

The worst campground and host in the 49th state. Two nights of loud music and rowdy campers, human feces, trash, campsites stolen from reserved campers. This junk yard is going to make state and national news because Alaska state parks won't do a dam thing about this arm pit campground.

Campsite number 4 does not have a contained fire ring. It has a fire ring made out of rocks. We were asked to not have a fire because the wind was blowing and it was dry. All the other camp sites had the contained fire ring and were aloud to have a camp fire. We were disappointed that we couldn’t have a camp fire.

Dense woods all around campsites. All are very short. Had difficulty getting 35’ fifth when in #4. Very quiet. Small creek on edge of campground
