Road has been closed since 2011

This campground is inaccessible by road since 2011.  Not sure when this was written but should be updated with the herculean efforts necessary to get there.  The campground is open, but only if you can get there.

Detail location of campground

Directions

From Cordova, the campground is 48 miles east on the Copper River Highway just before the Million Dollar Bridge. Two sections of the highway at mile 36 and mile 44 are washed out, and access to the site now requires a boat ride or travel by air. Several outfitters provide transportation to the campground.
