I got to my site past the check in time. The fire pit was full of food leftovers and garbage. This is an area with many black bears. Once I cleaned out the garbage, the fire pit has so much ash, it was not useable. The site was overgrown with grass, cow parsnip, and alders or willows. In other words, this campground is not getting well maintained. I've been going to Porcupine for many years and I've never seen it this bad.

I would rate this zero stars if I could. We were stuck in heavy traffic and were an hour late to our reservation. There was nowhere to call and I tried to get on the reservation page to make changes, but it kept saying βtoo lateβ. We reserved 2 spots, 6 months ago, and they were given away. There were no spots for us so we were left with a completely ruined weekend that was planned months in advance. The campground host was unhelpful and rude. We lost almost $160, yet Porcupine Campground got twice the money for the spot.

Great campground with good trails and nearby Hope. Weather was not so great but it is what it is.

The campground is great: very secluded and just on a bluff above the rocky coast of Turnagain Arm. It is great having the gull point trail accessible right out of the campground. There isn't much else to do in Hope, so just be aware of what you are getting into there. If you just want to chill, hike a couple of trails and be in a secluded campground, this is it. If you are trying to cram as much into your Alaska trip as possible, you might want to detour around Hope.

The campground was in a beautiful setting nestled in the woods overlooking Turnagain Arm. The Gull hiking trail was located in the campground and it was an easy hike.
I would definitely recommend booking a spot.

The RV sites are well laid out and clean. We stayed in site 007 and enjoyed the view, you do have more wind at this site than you might in the other sites. The first set of camp hosts kept the bathrooms very clean, and the second set of hosts didn't seem to care as much. It is nice that the trail to Gull Rock is off the end of the campground we were there the week before Memorial Day so the trail was not overgrown.
