The campground has long sites with plenty of room for our 24’ TT and our tow vehicle with extra room even unhooked from TT. Also spacing between site was good and just enough breaks in the trees for Starlink to work. We visited Seward from this campground and found it to be a good alternative to campgrounds that are very crowded there.

Campground was wonderful. Loved being one of the few campsites almost directly on the lake.

We chose mid-September to go camping here. The park was not filled to capacity, which was nice! It was a quiet few days, weather was good, some family joined us and camped nearby. Overall, we really like this campground.

Roomy sites with a various degrees of seclusion feel. Day sites along the lake can be busy, but very nice to have the access.

Our trips to Trail River are always enjoyable. The camping sites are always spacious, the bathrooms are always clean and well stocked with TP. We spent lots of time with our friends at their site(s) as well as our own. The fire pits are great as I always use them to cook meals on. It is not far from Moose Pass (THE COFFEE SHOP) so we drove into Moose Pass on one day and into Seward the next day. It should be stated that there is NO cell service there by neither AT& T nor GCI. However, Moose Pass has cell service by both carriers, so if necessary, you can always drive those few miles to make a call (and maybe get a coffee). It was refreshing to know that there are good people out there camping. A 2-year old boy went missing while we were there and EVERYONE joined in the search. He was found. It turned out to be a misunderstanding when the uncle took him for a walk and mom didn't hear him tell her. Nice to know how many people jumped in to help though.

Campground was clean and campsites were nice; however, during our two day stay the toilet paper was empty for half the visit, although the host went by the bathroom on two occasions during this time frame.
