Need more and better pictures of camp ground sites.

I have always enjoyed Mendenhall camp ground because of its lay out, location and amenities. I lived in Juneau for three years and used to camp there quite often with my girlfriend. For this visit I was just back to visit some friends so I decided to stay at the campground. The biggest and ono problem that I had with this stay was the cleanliness of my campsite and the bathroom/ shower buildings. Based on my previous visit it was quite dirty. When I arrived at my site I noticed quite a bit of trash littered throughout my camp site and parking area. When I got out of my car I walked up to the fire pit. it was filled with trash like cans, broken bottles, plastic bags and various other things. The bathroom/ shower buildings were not being cleaned. The floors looked liked the hadn’t been swept in weeks. The shower stalls, sinks and toilets were filthy also. The shower curtains were only on a couple of hooks and were covered with black mold spots. All in all I was very disappointed. I never experienced the campground facilities so dirty. I think the campground hosts are responsible for these duties but I only saw them refill the toilet paper. I hope this gets resolved and I am glad you gave me the opportunity to review the campground.

The lack of posted reservations on the campsite caused us to have an unfavorable experience of having someone park their camper on our reserved site, since we were gone with our camper during the day. Also with limited help on site (camp host most often had “Off-Duty” sign up) it took us 2 hours to resolve by having to eventually move to a different site, since there was no physical postings at the campground which could have indicated which sites were available.

Great experience at this campground. Despite the constant helicopter noise, we enjoyed a spacious campground, view on Mendenhall glacier, hot showers and cute evening walks on site.

Beautiful campground. We picked lots of blueberries on the trail that winds through it.
