Eagle Shadow Campground

Eagle Shadow Campground operates as a privately-managed facility in Hyder, Alaska, offering full hookup sites for $25-$55 per night from mid-April through October. The campground provides electric, water, and sewer connections along with amenities including showers, WiFi, and a dump station.

Black bears frequently visit the campground and surrounding town area, making bear spray essential according to multiple visitors. As reviewer Deanna C. notes, "Black bears are commonly seen in and around town including the campground." The location serves as a base for viewing both black and brown bears during the salmon run, with a dedicated bear viewing platform located a few miles up the road where brown bears typically gather.

The campground sits within Alaska's temperate rainforest, surrounded by mountains and dense vegetation. Salmon fishing draws many visitors to the area's rivers. Reviewers mention excellent halibut fishing opportunities and glacier access from this location. The facility includes two toilets, two showers, and laundry services, providing basic necessities for extended stays.

Campers can make reservations and pets are welcome at the site. For those exploring the broader region, places to camp near Hyder include additional options within the immediate area.

Friendly town and people

Here for 4 days and loved all the town people and visitors. It is small town but came for nature and relaxation that is just what we got. Bears yes couple in camp but they stayed their distance and of coarse humans did too. This is now main character in my dreams on next trip up north.

Bare Necessities

Camp Run-A-Muck is located in the ghost town of Hyder, Alaska. It is in the rainforest so surroundings are mountains and lush green trees and plants. The main attraction in Hyder is the bear viewing platform where brown bears and black bears (among other wildlife) gather for the salmon run in late summer/early fall. Black bears are commonly seen in and around town including the campground. Most brown bears stay further away near the bear viewing area a few miles up the road. This campground does have a laundry, toilets (2), and showers (2). It is truly the bare necessities here but everything you need if you come prepared to stay a few nights in this ghost town.
