Within the Tongass National Forest, Ohmer Creek provides a forested campground experience along a creek setting. The US Forest Service manages this established campground with sites accommodating RVs up to 35 feet, operating from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
Access involves rough road conditions, though campers report the site remains reasonably accessible from the main route. Several campsites toward the back of the campground connect directly to the creek via short trails. The Forest Service has upgraded hiking trails that loop through surrounding woods and marsh areas, creating routes suitable for families with small children. Well-maintained sites and recently improved trail infrastructure make this a functional base for campers exploring camping spots near Tongass National Forest.
