VerifiedJuly 30, 2025 • Stayed at: Dolly Varden Lake Cabin, Loop: Kenai National Wildlife Refuge
We had perfect weather during our stay, which hasn’t always been the case while camping at Dolly Varden Lake. However, the cabin is well built, cozy yet not too small, on a beautiful lake.
This year, the grasses surrounding the cabin got tall, which is a bit discomforting when making the early morning jaunt to the outhouse, but we always bring bear spray! That however has not deterred us from signing up to return to this cabin in October as our final camping trip of the summer.

Cabin is everything that you would expect and then some. We enjoyed our time there would be very cautious of the wind there especially if your plans include use of the boat. Winds tend to pick up and die down very quickly here. Based on journal entries it is a common occurrence. You will not be disappointed!!
