What Guests Are Saying
Porcupine Campground is praised for its beautiful, clean, and well-maintained sites, offering great privacy and stunning views of Turnagain Arm. Many visitors enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, scenic drives, and access to nearby hiking trails. Some drawbacks include limited facilities like laundry and showers, as well as overgrown sites affecting views, but overall, the campground is highly recommended for a quiet getaway in nature.

I made an online reservation at Porcupine Campground 4 months ago for site 14. We arrived in Hope at Porcupine to find my reservation posted at site 14 and another car parked there. They were not present in the campsite , we found out later they had parked in our reserved spot and had hiked out Gull rock trail to camp. Obviously this was very disheartening as site 14 is a special spot and had been reserved for a memorial occasion .

We loved our Site #16. It was just far enough away from the 'cliff' that we didn't have wind, but still had a view of the ocean. We enjoyed our visit with the camp hosts, too. We didn't see a bear (we always do when we're there), but we did experience thunder and hail for about an hour. We intend to return to this campground!

Great space, large picnic table, and amazing view from the tent camping area. The picnic area was protected from the winds (thick brush), so having a campfire felt safe. The only con was that the pull in spot didn’t have any shade as there is a small parking lot across from the site (no trees, no shade). Also, it’s next to a trailhead, so it didn’t feel as private. However, the site was very clean and well taken care of. One of my favorite campgrounds in Alaska!
