Wet

This is Whitter. Land of beauty, glacier, the tunnel, and wet. Maybe not always rain but definitely wet.

This is a very small town with amazing views. Campground is situated right off the water and is very, very damp. I would not suggest tent camping if you have the option. This is a great place to car camp and the cost through the tunnel is $13.00. Views of glaciers great you as soon as you exit the tunnel. The best spots are right along the waters edge, but again bring your Extratufs.

Cell Service: yes Internet: yes 3G 2020 Cost: $20 Distance from Anchorage: 58 miles Best sites: Along the waters edge Bug Factor (1 minimal to 10 too many to enjoy): 1 (but I have only been here when it is raining)

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I make reservations at Whittier Campground?

Reservations for the City of Whittier Campground can be made by contacting the Whittier Harbor Office directly. The campground typically operates on a first-come, first-served basis during certain periods, but advance reservations are recommended, especially during the peak summer season. Call the Whittier city offices or harbor master for current reservation policies and availability. Be sure to inquire about tunnel passage times when planning your arrival, as the Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel operates on a schedule that restricts travel times to and from Whittier.

What RV facilities are available at Whittier Alaska campground?

The City of Whittier Campground offers basic RV accommodations with waterfront sites that provide beautiful views. While the campground has limited dedicated RV facilities, it does provide access to water. Power hookups may be available at some sites, but full hookups are not standard. The campground's location is very damp, making it better suited for RVs than tent camping. The small size of Whittier means services are limited, so RVers should arrive self-contained and prepared. For specific RV length restrictions and current amenities, contact the Whittier Harbor Office before your trip.

Where is Whittier Bay Campground located in Alaska?

City of Whittier Campground - Whittier Bay is located in the small coastal town of Whittier, Alaska. The campground is situated right along the waterfront, offering stunning views of Prince William Sound and the surrounding glaciers. Whittier is accessible via the Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel, a unique 2.5-mile single-lane tunnel that serves both vehicles and trains. The town is approximately 60 miles southeast of Anchorage, nestled between majestic mountains and the bay, creating a dramatically beautiful but notably damp environment.

Is there a dump station at Whittier Campground?
