Guys, this used to be the premier campground in Alaska. It's getting run down. Signs are knocked over and on the ground, everything is getting old and decrepit, numerous piles of foliage debris on the roads, etc... For the price, it should be in the shape it was 10 years ago. Let's get on it.

Not having a dump station for this price is unsatisfactory. Also, the pump water quality is highly questionable. We filled 2 each 5-gallon jugs out of the hand pump, the only source of "fresh" water we could find. The first jug looked fine, but the second jug was loaded with glacial silt, also making the first jug suspect. If you advertise "potable water", you need to ensure it is.

I love this campground and everything was pretty good. There are bear boxes and fire rings at each campsite. It was pretty quiet for a holiday weekend, too.

Policies & Rules

Cancellation policy

  • 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.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.

Wildlife & food storage

  • Store all attractants securely to prevent bear incidents, which could lead to immediate camping prohibitions for tents and soft-sided vehicles.
