Great site near water and bathroom and showers. Behind it is the view of the glacier. This side of the campground can be quite windy if winds are coming down the mountain. You’ll need to get firewood from one of the grocery stores in town. There were beaver in the pond across from this site.

Great location, really nice camp site and good facilities. The grounds were well kept and clean. The only downside was no firewood was available.

This campground is beautiful. It is In the rainforest, with nice campground trails and some amazing views of the Mendenhall glacier. You have walking access to some great trails. The sites are large and many have electricity and water.
