Decision Point Dispersed Camping

This free dispersed camping area requires a five-mile paddle from Whittier to reach by boat. The US Forest Service maintains several tent platforms, two toilets, and bear-proof storage boxes at this Prince William Sound location. Fresh water is available on-site but requires boiling or filtering before use.

Weather conditions can change rapidly on the water, with waves building quickly according to experienced campers. The site serves as a strategic launching point where Prince William Sound opens up, offering paddlers multiple route options for extended trips. One reviewer reports camping here dozens of times across the May through August season, indicating reliable access during warmer months.

About a 5 mile ocean kayaking trip from Whittier, Alaska, tent platforms

A 5 mile paddle from Whittier, AK. Watch the weather waves can build up quickly. A number of tent platforms, 2 toilets and a few bear proof boxes. From this camp ground it is time to "decide" which way you want to go as the sound really opens up to you. There is fresh water but boil or filter it first. I think I must have camped here at least 30 or 40 times, most of it before tent platforms, toilets or bear containers. I've camped here May June July August
