Ptarmigan Creek is a well-maintained campground known for its quiet, picturesque setting and easy access to hiking trails. Guests appreciate the friendly and helpful camp host, as well as the spacious, clean campsites that offer privacy. However, there were some issues reported, including a reservation mix-up and concerns about the condition of the outhouse. Overall, many visitors plan to return and recommend the campground.

The campground as well as the host were very good. The only thing that we found disappointing was that on the Recreation.gov website failed to mention that it is extremely difficult to access the river if you are older than 21.
It touts the wonderful fishing, which is why we went there, but difficulty in accessing the river was never mentioned. We ended up leaving a day early. Very disaapointing.

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.

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.
