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!
