About this campground
Come walk in the footsteps of an early 20th century trapper, prospector, and local woodworker with a stay in the Joe Thompson Cabin on the shores of Lake Clark in Lake Clark National Park. Built in 1961, this historic two-room log cabin was constructed by Joe Thompson, one of many cabins he built in the Lake Clark region and essential to the development of Port Alsworth. The cabin sits approximately 14 miles north of Port Alsworth, set back in the forest with views of the lake. It accommodates up to three people with rustic amenities including a wood stove, table and chairs, wooden sleeping bunks with two twin-size beds, and a nearby outhouse.

There is no electricity or running water; fresh water is available from the lake but must be treated. The cabin is equipped with a fire extinguisher and smoke detectors, and includes a bear-resistant food storage locker. The location is ideal for kayaking, boating, fishing, and wildlife viewing on Lake Clark. The adjacent Portage Creek Trail takes visitors above the treeline into the highcountry west of the lake for stunning views of the Aleutian and Alaskan Ranges. This is a remote backcountry cabin with no cell phone coverage, accessible only by floatplane, water taxi, or private vessel. Advanced-skill kayakers can reach the cabin from Port Alsworth. The park enforces a maximum consecutive stay of 5 nights for a limit of 21 nights per calendar year.
