From ferry dock: Go 1,000 feet S on Halibut Point Rd.
Very cool place, I met some really nice people and all very friendly.
One of the best places to stay in your RV, all the anemities laundry, wifi, full bathrooms, plus you can join the association and shoot your handgun indoors.
It’s a good RV Park but not extra amenities. If the campground at Starrigavan is full,this is good back up. It is just a grass area with fire pit and picnic tables but it works. The local bus service comes out this way. It’s about 200’ from the ferry so even if you are coming in late at night it would be a quick fix. Just know that no caretaker actually lives on site. But they will stop by during the day and you can pay them later. Just mention it to one of the RV residents that are long term. They will pass the word on to caretaker. It’s relaxed system. But it would not be a place if you want to party into the night.
No rooms to speak of, this is not a resort, it's an RV park. Bring your own rig if you need a place to stay, or bring a tent and post up in the grass. Whichever way you choose it'll be a worthwhile experience just for the view of the sunrise with your coffee and the sunset while you sup. It's a beautiful place.
John is one of the friendliest guys ever, and will work with you on your arrival and departure dates. Rent is fair, given there's access to hot showers and restrooms on site. It's quiet when there's no club activity, even when the ranges are hot it's not too bad.
There's no play area for kids, it is a shooting range after all, but there is a small grassy area where the tent campers go and people park their boats. There's not much room at any given time for any new rigs, if you're lucky there will be one space open for a medium size setup.
Salmon fishing is decent in late season, just a 10 minute walk up the road at Old Sitka. Deer and bear are prevalent as well as it's about 7 miles from town. Eagles and ravens are all over, and if you're lucky you'll see a sea lion or a whale just off shore. There's plenty of crabs, starfish, otters and other sea life to check out at the creek outlet that borders the property.
Surrounded by hemlock and Sitka Spruce, deer hearts enough to have a fresh salad daily, and the peace you need without sacrificing basic amenities like flushing toilets and hot water, this is a great place to camp or plan an extended stay. You'll need a vehicle to get to town at your leisure, but the city bus does pick up not too far from the park. It's not the easiest place to be, but there are far worse.
Summer is the best time of course, but winter is also very nice. Just bring cleats so you can get across the parking lot, and tire chains to get out of the driveway.
