The National Park Service maintains a free walk-in campground in Bartlett Cove. The campground features bear-proof food caches, a fire-pit and warming shelter (with firewood provided) located in a very scenic setting along the shore, 1/4 mile south of the Bartlett Cove dock. Stays are limited to 14 days
The campground is located about 1/4 mile by trail from the main dock in Bartlett Cove. It has designated sites, a warming shelter, vault toilets, and bear-proof food caches. Wheelbarrows are available to help transport gear. Stop by the Visitor Information Station near the dock to obtain a free camping permit for the campground.
Free, 10 min walk from the lodge’s restaurant and showers.
Awesome. It's free and the experience is amazing. You're right by the water.
The best campground. Very clean, very private, excellent views, and immaculate bathroom facilities.
Work here 2 summers now finally stayed a couple days in the campground and it's the cleanest, best public location, to camp. The scenery is worth it
Nice campground with plenty of spaces. Food cache, toilet and firewood (rather wet) available. Bathrooms with warm water are located at the Ranger station and at the nearby Glacier bay lodge you can shower for 5$
