Our site was secluded and clean

We have camped at this campground many times over 15 years and have loved the experience. The salmon viewing is nearby, campsites far apart, lots of trees. One time we hiked to the Portage Visitors Museum, and this summer our grandson took pictures of a mama moose and her calf strolling close to our campsite. Treasured memories!

One of the best campgrounds I have had the privilege of staying in. All paved sites. Very well maintained. Close to Girdwood, Whittier and the Byron Glacier to just name a few of the great places to see in the area.

Great campground, close to bike trails, salmon viewing glaciers. & wildlife. What more can you ask for? Better weather, rained significantly during the time we were there. Got to be adaptable!

The campground was beautiful and the spaces were nice. Not too close to one another, with trees in between. Great trails for hiking or biking. I especially enjoyed the Blue Ice trail. Also easy access to a few small lakes for fishing. I'll be back!

Willawaw is our very favorite place in Alaska to camp! The hosts this year have been the very best! Always cleaning and checking on campsites. So nice to talk to.

The camphosts, Zac and Jesse, are amazing managers of the campground. They not only go above and beyond the basics, they are friendly and helpful. Hopefully, they will return next year or be somewhere like Quartz Creek where their impact is even greater.

The person working as the campground manager was great! She was very helpful, accommodating and knowledgeable of the area. That made our stay so much nicer.

Arrived with reservations and went directly to the site. Site had overhanging trees which didn’t allow us to easily back in. Double site would have worked better. A great location. Bears in the campground although we never ran into them.

Campground is clean and tidy, toilets are clean, and camp host friendly. Our site was right on a creek and a short walk to the Glacier trail and salmon viewing area. It's also a short drive to the Portage Glacier visitors centre, Girdwood, and other trails and sites on the Turnagain Arm. We loved it!
