Where Bird Creek flows toward Turnagain Arm, this Chugach State Park facility provides public use cabins with full hookups in a forested setting. The campground sits along the creek corridor, offering electric, water, and sewer connections for RVs alongside ADA-accessible facilities. Cell service reaches the area, and pets are welcome throughout the grounds.
Anglers can work the creek for salmon runs, while hiking and biking trails branch out from the campground into the surrounding state park terrain. The Brown Bear Saloon & Hotel sits just 0.2 miles north for additional services. Reservations are available for the cabins, which provide a base for exploring the Chugach foothills and accessing nearby lake fishing opportunities.
Description
Chugach State Park is located in Southcentral Alaska mostly within the Municipality of Anchorage. The park contains approximately 495,000 acres of land and is one of the four largest state parks in the United States. The parks westernmost boundary lies in the western foothills of the Chugach Mountain Range and is a mere seven miles to the east of downtown Anchorage. The park is further defined by the Knik Arm on the north, Turnagain Arm on the south, and Upper and Lower Lake George and Chugach National Forest on the east. Although vast portions of the Southcentral Alaska region are sparsely populated, almost half of the State's population resides in or near Anchorage. Within minutes of the park are also the communities of Palmer, Eagle River, Chugiak, Indian, Bird, Girdwood, the village of Eklutna, and Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson.
