Summary

AI generated

Mendenhall Campground offers stunning views of the glacier, well-maintained facilities, and a peaceful atmosphere, making it a top choice for campers. Many reviews highlight the hot showers, cleanliness, and spacious sites with good spacing and privacy. Some minor drawbacks include noise from nearby roads and occasional late-night disturbances, as well as the locked gate after 10 PM, but overall, guests have had wonderful experiences and appreciated the campground's natural beauty and excellent amenities.

The camp was clean, and wow - what a spectacular view! A few short steps through the Forest from camp provided a beautiful view of Mendenhall Glacier over the lake. Camp sites provide a good amount of privacy, also. You're not crammed on top of other people. Officer Mills was really kind to us. He took time to educate my son, who is interested in wildlife work one day, about the National Forest and the service.

Was awful. The hosts there are obviously not from juneau and don't know the environment very well at all. They are also extremely unprofessional and are very rude and nosy. I have been a resident of juneau for 20+ years and have never been so insulted and put off by any one in their "profession". If you're going to hire someone for that type of job you should hire people that at least are familiar with the surrounding wild life and to not over react in a way that is dangerous for any person or animal involved or even in the area. Very unhappy with the way they handle, or don't handle, any situation. Way to go whoever hired them. (Sarcasm). But because of the poor excuse for a "host" I will not only never recommend this place to anyone but I will also go out my way to spread the word to everyone (local or traveler) that with the people running this place, this is one of the worst places to go in juneau. Worse than even the low income housing community known for drugs and crime. Absolutely terrible

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
