3 Day Stay next to glacier

Booked three nights after driving the McCarthy Road Area is pretty open with fire rings and a few pit toilets. The ground is not paved or graveled so it’s bumpy coming back.
We parked our pickup camper with a view of the glacier out our door.
Easy walk to McCarthy foot bridge. Need to pack out trash as there is no local pickup.
$35 a night for small rigs, $45 for large.
