Reviews
This campground near Glacier Bay National Park offers a stunning natural setting with abundant wildlife and beautiful views, making it a great choice for those seeking a backcountry experience. While the sites are primitive and lack amenities like picnic tables and running water, the campground provides a unique opportunity to connect with nature. Campers appreciate the free permit system and the availability of wheelbarrows for transporting gear, although the requirement for a bear safety orientation and the walk from the parking lot can be challenging. Overall, it's a highly recommended spot for adventurous campers.
