Eagle Beach State Recreation Area

Anglers and paddlers gain direct river access at Eagle Beach State Recreation Area, a forested campground managed by the US Forest Service within Tongass National Forest. The facility accommodates RVs up to 35 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections, though campers should prepare for rough access roads leading to the sites.

Sites range from heavily wooded to more open areas that allow for solar panel use and satellite internet connectivity. The campground provides pit toilets and water with boil advisories, but lacks trash service and dump stations. Black bears frequent the area, with recent sightings of bears grazing near campsites. Cell service remains unavailable throughout the property, making this location suitable for campers comfortable with off-grid conditions and wildlife encounters.

Eagle Beach Campground

We were in Juneau with our pickup camper for a couple of weeks. We stayed three nights in the campground. $20 per night. Absolutely no cell service. There are some sites not completely in the trees. We were able to get good solar and Starlink service. There are pit toilets on site. There is water, with a boil direction to use. There is no trash service.
No dump site. Great access to river area. There is a large amount of bear activity in area. We had a black bear next to our campground eating grass one evening.
