   Chugiak, Alaska

   Eklutna - Chugach State Park is a fantastic spot nestled just off the Glenn Highway, north of Anchorage. This place is a hidden wonder, especially during the autumn when the colors are simply breathtaking. The campground offers a mix of tent, RV, cabin, and even glamping accommodations, making it a versatile choice for all kinds of campers.

   The sites are first-come, first-served and are quite wooded, providing a good amount of privacy. However, the dense canopy might be a bit of a challenge if you're relying on solar power. The bathrooms are basic but clean, with vault toilets, and water is available at spigots throughout the campground loop.

   One of the standout features here is Eklutna Lake, which is perfect for flat water paddling and fishing. Just be cautious, as the lake can get pretty choppy on windy afternoons. If hiking is your thing, the Twin Peak trailhead is nearby, offering some excellent trails. For those who enjoy cycling, the main road provides a good workout with its steep climb up to the lake.

   Visitors have mentioned that the campground feels remote and wilderness-like, yet it's conveniently within an hour's drive of Anchorage. There's even a local tourist ice cream shop a few miles down the road that offers food, showers, and laundry during the summer months. If you're planning a visit to the Musk Ox Farm in Palmer, this campground is a great nearby option, about 30 miles away.

   Overall, Eklutna - Chugach State Park offers a peaceful retreat with stunning natural beauty and plenty of outdoor activities to keep you busy. Whether you're here for the hiking, paddling, or just to soak in the scenery, you won't be disappointed.
