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.

We had a great stay here! Our campsite was super clean when we arrived, and the bathrooms were easily accessible from our loop, which made things so much easier. Definitely planning to come back.

Peaceful location with nice sized sites. Highly recommend the local coffee shop. Worth the 1 mi walk or bike ride. Vault toilets were clean. One water pump not working. Site was fairly level. In late July, view from upper site was blocked by lush vegetation, which also meant thick bugs.

I always enjoy staying at this campground. The drive to Hope is a scenic adventure and the views from this campground are amazing. I'd recommend bringing a roll of toilet paper (our outhouse was out) and a screened tent for hanging out in (the biting flies can be a nuisance).

Very nice quiet campground. We were just here for an overnight. We parked the camper then drove an hour to Whittier for the day. No laundry or shower here. Pit toilets were not too bad. We had breakfast at the local restaurant before leaving. Husband had biscuits and gravy. Said they were the best he had ever had. I would recommend this for an RV stay over.

The spots are very small and the speed limit is 10 mi an hour, unfortunately no one follows that limit. The campground needs more speed bumps to ensure safety.

The campground has a nice paved loop that seemed to work well for kids with bikes. Many of the sites had RV/vehicle parking separated from the picnic table/fire ring area - something to be aware of if you like to hang out under your RV awning. We stayed at site #10 and it was overgrown with cow parsnip. There was a clearing large enough for our tent, but not much else. There wasn't enough flat area for a canopy and we couldn't hang a trap or hammock since there was only one tree on the site. The sites further away from the water had more trees and looked to be better situated for a larger camp setup. Trash and beer cans in the fire ring when we arrived and no toilet paper in the bathroom throughout our stay. Great view of Turnagain Arm from where the vehicle was parked, but the overgrowth prevented you from seeing anything from the actual campsite, which was down a small hill from where you park. A momma bear and cubs had been frequenting the area, including consecutive days leading up to and including our trip. I appreciated that the bear sign at the entrance was updated with dates that the bears were sited at the campground. Numerous piles of fresh bear droppings around our site, coupled with being surrounded by overgrowth, did not make for a comfortable setting.

From Anchorage, go about 70 mi south on Seward Highway to the Hope cutoff. Bear right at 'Y' junction and continue 17.8 mi to the town of Hope. The campground is at the end of the road.
The campground is accessible via Seward Highway (approximately 70 miles from Anchorage) and Hope Highway, which leads directly to the town of Hope.
