One of the nicest campgrounds in AK! The picnic table and fire pit were a bit detached from where the camper was parked, but that was a plus!! Had a great time and will definitely be back!!

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.
