Near a scenic beach, the campground was once a village site for the Auk Tlingit Natives. There are 11 camping sites and each campsite has a picnic table and fire ring; most meet accessibility standards. There are water faucets and one accessible vault toilet in the campground. It is 15 miles Northwest of Juneau on Glacier Highway.
From the Alaska Marine Hwy. ferry terminal in Juneau, AK, turn left onto Glacier Hwy. and go 0.8 miles to campground sign. Turn left after sign and go 0.9 miles to another campground sign. Bear left at sign into campground.
14 days only 78 bucks.$5 bucks a day great deals here we are not alone.
Campers must reserve sites in advance by going online. It costs $10 per site per night plus a $10 "reservation fee". Campers can not pick a site, and pay with a fee envelope on site as is the practice at all other US Forest Service campgrounds. When the phone number provided to make a reservation is called a message says, "This number is no longer in service". The campground is beautiful but little used as this reservation system is not available to all users unless they have access to a computer and internet.
Really beautiful setting - could see the bay through the trees - some people were letting fireworks at night which scared my puppy luckily there weren't too many - other than that it was great!
The loudest campground I’ve ever stayed at. People walking through at all hours on the trail screaming. People partying at the day use area till 4am. Airplanes overhead at all hours of the night. The site itself is nice but little to no sleep.
I really like this spot! Lone female camper and felt safe! It’s small and easily accessible, even a sedan would be fine getting in. Campsites are on the smaller side, but there’s bear boxes, a table, a fire pit and close restrooms. You’re close enough to other campers not to feel isolated, but have enough privacy in your own site. Anyone complaining about noise… I think they must’ve been here on a big holiday weekend (4th of July maybe?) because it was quiet and peaceful for me on a Sunday evening at about 80% occupied sites. Easy to reserve online!
