We were looking forward to camping here because it was so close to the river. The campground is nice enough, but the sites aren't very private. A pair of women two sites down kept talking to us all day and played really loud music. They were belligerent at times and were drunk and doing various other substances. It was past 11 and they were playing music very loudly. At one point, they came over to our campsite and stole a log that divided the campsites to burn. The camp host at one point came out of her camper and walked around while this was happening and didn't ask them to quiet down and they wouldn't budge after we made polite requests. Ended up leaving and walked to the Boat Launch Campground and had a quiet night.
Bare bones campground at the end of the town strip next to the river. 20$ a night, first come first serve (way too much imo). Camp host IS parked on site to monitor payments. Water is available, and flushing toilets, but they're not very clean at all. No showers. One picnic table and fire ring per site. No power. As in the rest of Alaska, expect plenty of mosquitos in the summer. Sites are very close together and best used for tent or car camping. No RVs are allowed. We stayed one night and it was a fine alternative to a hotel for a quick stopover in this super cute town. Wouldn't stay more than 2 nights due to nasty bathrooms and no shower facilities.
