Mendenhall Campground

The campground is very good, be aware if you choose a glacier facing site as the cold wind blows most of the time making it 10 degrees F colder than other sites or general area. Mens shower near site 9 is great, but use the further in shower as the closer one has minimal hot water.

Enjoyed saying at the site I picked. Would stay again.

Beautiful camp, very spaced and discrete camp sites.

Fix the men's toilet so it doesn't leak, shower drain was plugged, so it leaked onto the floor. No shower curtain. Wish the shower was open before 8 am.

Campground was clean, fire pit with attached grill was available along with a picnic table. There was also a large bear proof box that was somewhat water proof available to put things in. Bathrooms were pretty clean considering they were outhouses which are expected to smell a little and there were plenty of them along the camping route so it was not too far of a walk in either direction from our camp. Rates were not bad for tent camping. There was no firewood available but we read reviews before we went that said bring you own so we brought our own so it worked out. Nice views of the lake, mountains, glacier and huge waterfall which made a nice roar at night to lull us to sleep. There are nice trails within the campground that wind around the small lake where we got to see a beaver multiple times. We also went hiking on nearby trails outside of the campground and got to see few deer and a bear. The campground is located only a few miles from grocery store gas station and other stores. The only reason I didn’t give a perfect score is because I don’t give perfect scores. I guess if there would have been wood I could have given a perfect score but No complaints. We did not use the showers because we had access to showers at a friends house. Great place to stay without random people parking in vacant spots with their cars running and listening to music while they hung out like we had experienced at other campgrounds that were not hosted.

Not happy with the showers not all working. Great to see a black bear!
Location great with glacier view

Great facilities, great scenery, one of the best I’ve stayed at! The host is also very accommodating. They have several different sites available to accommodate any style of camping.

Our stay was lovely. We enjoyed the Independence Day holiday in a beautiful setting.

The campground setting and sites are very nice. Especially the well-crafted restrooms with hot water! What a treat. Downside for me was as a person visiting Juneau it was a fairly noisy campground with lots of locals going camping to have a party. Also, I had my hammock stolen. So I really don’t recommend leaving anything out at your site when you’re gone for the day.
