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.

A little noise from the Seward Hwy but not enough to be at all bothersome. All campsites have surrounding brush and trees to ensure privacy.
The water from the potable pump was a bit smelly and dark so wondered if still safe to drink. A good camping experience. We would certainly return.

Great little campground down near Seward. Very small spots, not suitable for larger campers/RV's. Very poor cell reception there. If you wanting to get away, this is the place.

Someone else was in the spot we reserved and would not leave. No campground host present to help with the situation. Thus, we ended up having to go and find another place to stay for the night at the last minute.

Great trail to Ptarmigan Lake!!! Recommend you increase sized for camper spaces! Also, recommend thinning out the trees around camping spaces to increase sunlight. It would be great to have a dump station as their are none around the area.

This is a very small, basic campground off of the major road to Seward. The sites are back from the road and heavily wooded so traffic noise was not an issue. Bring a bug shelter - it's Alaska! We were swarmed at times by mosquitoes and black flies but other times it was fine. Sites were very private for a public campground in this area and we could not see our neighbors on either side. There is a compost toilet but no running water or showers. There are public showers in Seward and very nice showers were available at the new (2019) KOA nearby. If you are looking for a quiet, wooded, basic campground at a very reasonable price, this is your place! If you want to be in downtown Seward or at a campground with lots of people or activities, this is not for you. If we return to the area, we will stay here again.
