About Williwaw Campground

Williwaw Campground, an idyllic area, sits beside Williwaw Creek near the town of Girdwood, Alaska. The campground boasts prime fishing, hiking and wildlife watching all within the Portage Valley. Next to the campground is the Williwaw Salmon Viewing Area, a top-notch spot for salmon viewing. In August, visitors can see these fish spawning in impressive numbers through the translucent waters. The area is a great place to view numerous glaciated valleys and the Portage Glacier. Over the past 80 years, the glacier calved large icebergs into Portage Lake, located just east of the campground.

Williwaw is our favorite place to camp. Nice level spots with some great views in some. Great location and well maintained. Although, I did notice a lot of the vault toilets were closed this trip.

The entire campground, to include the roads and camping spots need the trees and shrubs trimmed! My truck and camper both got scratched from the trees/shrubs!
