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.

There is lots of room between campsites and it is beautiful there. We had fun hiking on trails and found some great shops and restaurants in Hope. The Dirty Skillet was a lot of fun - great music, food, and atmosphere.

Location is beautiful with great hiking / biking accessible right from the campsite. Individual sites are big with lots of space, and separation from other sites. Only downside to campground is that it's at the end of the Hope road and very accessible from Anchorage for a day trip. On a sunny weekend you get lots of people making the trip out, and without any control on campground access, everyone seems to use it as a turnaround, or just wants to pass through to see what it is like. They'll drive to the end of the road, follow the one way road around the campground loop, and head back towards Hope. What this means is it feels like there is an endless stream of cars that pass through the campground starting in late morning, and lasting until 8-9pm. We were nervous for kids playing, or trying to ride bikes around the campground. Otherwise, place is awesome.

View out Turnagain Arm was spectacular! The hike towards Gull Rock was awesome as well. Quiet surroundings.
