Great location for incredible fishing in Resurection Creek, Kenai and Russian River. Great scenery and camp host was helpful.

Porcupine is one of our favorite Alaskan campgrounds for many reasons. This year was no exception. The hosts did a fantastic job of keeping the bathrooms immaculate and well stocked. The views of the water are so lovely and the access to the trails are just awesome. Huge sites as well. Every year there are bear scares here which is always creepy, so being "bear aware" and prepared is crucial. Great experience.

Of course having the weather was great too! The caretakers of the campground did a superb job keeping the grounds and toilets clean and supplied.

We had a short but very nice stay at Porcupine Camp. The host was pleasant and helpfull, the weather was good, and the access to the camp is a nice drive in the woods. Views across Turnagain sound are limited, but we took a walk and got some good pictures.

Wonderful campground. Good vibe. The walk-in tent sites (1-4) are a dream.

The campground is horribly overgrown with cow parsnip. As a result we chose to stay elsewhere.
