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

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.

Wildlife & food storage

  • Store food properly to avoid attracting bears; use approved containers or lock food in your vehicle.
