This is a great campground! Close enough to Girdwood but far enough away so you can enjoy nature!

Beautiful, clean camp, easy pull through spot. Only downside was truck noise on way to Whittier due to construction, but that didn’t impact stay much

There is no pressurized water here…only a hand pump. No big deal for me but the scenery and proximity to the Whittier tunnel is great.

This location was by far our favorite campground. It was quiet, well maintained, and the nearby trails were easily accessible. The views were gorgeous! Our stay here was only one night, however, we will definitely return.

This s great campground. We had a 25’ RV in spot 30 and were well separated from others and it was level. There’s so much to do near here. We were only here one night, but I could have easily spent four nights here. Great place!

Great campground! Site 29 was very nice - just a few hundred feet from the water. We were awakened by squirrels trying to get into our camper but I guess that's better than bears! Located near Whittier and Portage Glacier and a quick walk to Byron Glacier too.

Campsites are spread out, making for a very quiet setting. Great and well kept walking trails.

We absolutely loved this campground. The sites are large and private and many, including ours, site 30, afforded a fantastic view of the mountains. From here, we hiked Byron Glacier, visited the nearby Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center and Portage Glacier Lake and visitor center. We also hiked several of the trails from the campground and saw lots of birds, including Harlequin Ducks. You can't beat the views everywhere!

Very nice campground. We found that the outhouses were not as clean as we’d like, but aside from that it was great!
