Although a number may be assigned at booking, just pick the best available camp space that works for you on arrivial\. You'll need to bring your own water and keep a clean camp\. Pinochle Trail goes north into the backcountry for around 12 miles and joins other trails\. Pinochle trail is a section of the ancient Knik \- Nelchina Trail used by natives, trappers, miners and hunters for eons\. It traverses the natural route from the Matanuska Valley up and over the mountain range into Copper River country\. Hicks was one of the early guides who had a cabin at Hicks Creek and served with U\.S\. Army Lieutenant Joseph Castner to brushwack a trail northwest for Captain Glenn in 1898\. Described in his journal as at "Tale of Hardship and Suffering" they ended up eating their mules and shoes before reaching their goal far to the north\. Today we use these trails with relative ease compared to the old timers but the scenery and mud holes remind us of what they went through\.

The sites are a little close together but might be more private once the trees bud and bloom. Surprisingly no road noise, for being just above the main road. The site was almost perfectly flat without leveling the trailer.  We went in early May and had the whole campground to ourselves.  They are expanding and clearing out more places. They take pride in their campground and it shows! We loved the little history both as well! "
