Ptarmigan Creek

This was a great campsite! Pretty private and well maintained. We could hear the highway at night but it didn’t really bother us (and we were more toward the front). The creek on the campground offered a great morning coffee spot that we took full advantage of. We would definitely come back!

We are Longtime Alaskans. The outhouse at Ptarmigan Creek CG was BRUTAL. Without question it was, constantly, the worst smelling outhouse we have ever used in AK. It appeared to be VERY Full and well overdue a pump out.

Hands down our favorite campground. We really enjoy the quiet nature of this campground.

This is our favorite campground in the area!

Campsite was spacious close to bathroom and hiking trails. Beautiful place to camp!

Clean, quiet. Restrooms well maintained.

This was a nice quite camp ground. The Host was nice and helpful. Great site for kids.

Quiet, picturesque location. We enjoyed hiking the nearby trail to Ptarmigan Lake and visiting nearby Moose Pass for a warm meal and fresh ground coffee.

Camping spaces were clean, quiet and well placed giving privacy.

This is a very nice little campground. It's pretty small, with around 15 campsites. The sites are well separated from each other by trees, and most of the sites had pretty good shade for most of the day. The parking areas all looked to be fairly level. We stayed in site 12, located at the top of a small loop. There was plenty of room to park a vehicle, set up a tent on the right side of the pad, and have good separation between the tent and the fire ring on the left. Site 13, a pull-through site, is across from site 12, which does lessen site 12's privacy a bit. Most of the sites do not have something directly across from them, and are staggered instead. The vault toilets are located beside site 13, so it was a quick and convenient walk from our tent. The toilets (2) were very clean and well-maintained. The campground as a whole was quiet, with everyone observing quiet hours (10 PM to 6 AM), though there is some road noise from the highway during daytime hours, and I did hear a few generators running during the day. After dark/during quiet hours, you can hear Ptarmigan Creek running. All dogs that I saw were controlled and/or on leash, which was nice. The host was onsite at all times, though we did not need to contact them for anything. There is a day use parking lot near the entrance to the campground, with a 7 mile trail leading up to a lake, if you're up for a hike. There is also a small fish viewing area beside the creek. I enjoyed my stay here and will be back!
